New to town and had done Google search that told me of an amazing restaurant. I arrived to see the restaurant had been lost in the hurricane and now a large food truck. Food was delicious 😋. Staff was very friendly and the sunset was gorgeous

Roy’s food was really good and probably worth the extraordinary wait time. We had a party of 8 and waited an hour and 20 minutes to be sat and when we were sat there we’re at least 10 tables sitting with room for 8 or more. Must be short staffed. I’d rather have been sitting during the wait instead of standing that long. Just explain why the wait is so long, we’d understand. The margarita from the bar was refreshing and our bartender Jennifer was a hard working delightful person. Our server was great and shout out the young man Connor who was working his tail off all night trying to keep things clean. The salad bar had a great variety but was hit hard by diners so could have used a little more attention, but again we saw everyone working hard all night. Our Boda Bang shrimp were tasty.

Roys Restaurant is a staple here in Steinhatchee. Great food and the location can't be beat as this is the spot for the best sunset in town! What makes Roys so special next to those iconic sunsets, is the history. You feel it when you’re there. It’s been part of Steinhatchee for as long as most people can remember, and it’s one of those places that makes you feel at home whether you grew up here or not. Without Roys, Steinhatchee wouldn't be Steinhatchee. P.s....Order the prime rib sammich or smash burger and tater salad topped with ranch, feta cheese, bacon bits and a side of beets! ;)

Came here to meet some family. The staff was friendly and the food was solid. Surprised at one of their policies, at least in this example. The place had two tables occupied. Even still, they would not seat us while we waited for our family to arrive, roughly 10m later. The staff was very friendly about it, but as we stood there waiting, they missed out on sales as we were going to order an app and a couple drinks. Outside of this, the place was a solid visit and we will be back again. Our family decided to order a bunch of stuff and share it, and everyone enjoyed the whole experience. Not a bad thing landed on our table.

Good food. Properly cooked. Many places overcook seafood. Not here on our visit. Atmosphere beachy like a fishing village from the 90’s. Great calamari. Pretty quick seating for group of 17 on a Friday night during scallop season. Server was great. Took care of everything perfectly. Maybe 15 minute wait. Nice sunset views. Will definitely return. They also have a little souvenir store off of the lobby and small bar area.
