What Customers Say About Us

“I just got home after a week in Cedar Key, and having breakfast at Duncan’s On The Golf was one of the biggest highlights! Not just the food, but the people, the atmosphere and the personal touches and Miss Bell as well as the others started my days off perfectly! Can’t wait to visit Cedar Key again and have my delicious breakfast by the water while conversing with locals and enjoying some delicious food! Thanks for helping make my week such a wonderful experience! My best friend and I will be back in a year for another weeks stay in your beautiful town!”
J. O'LearyFacebook

“5-star seafood restaurant with beautiful waterfront view in downtown Cedar Key. Cozy booths, cocktails, chill ambiance and a less is more decor. Sushi for those who love it, prime rib, the freshest fish (grouper, yellow tail snapper, mahi mahi) and you can enjoy the chef’s creative combination of New England clam chowder and Bahamian conch chowder - or order each chowder separately. The onion rings were house made with a delicious orange sauce. This should be your go-to restaurant in Cedar Key! Live music downstairs!”

“Been there 3 times now. Casual dining, with good prices. We always get the grilled shrimp salads with onion rings and fries for both my husband and myself. We love the happy servers and the food is excellent. A nice addition to the Island !”
