Rod and Gun Club

Fodor's Review:

The striking, polished pecky cypress woodwork in this historic building dates from the 1920s, when wealthy hunters, anglers, and yachting parties from around the world came for the winter season. The main dining room holds the overflow from the popular enormous screened porch that overlooks the river. Like life in general here, servers move slowly and upkeep is minimal. Fresh seafood dominates a menu that includes stone crab claws in season, a turf-and-surf combo of steak and grouper, a swamp-and-turf combo of frogs' legs and steak, seafood and pasta pairings, and yummy key lime pie. If you lack the nerve to go native for your entrée, you can sample frogs' legs or gator nuggets as an appetizer. Arrive by boat or land.
