Virginians:
Gator Joe's is huge fun. BUT, I strongly recommend you seek a seat out under the "tiki huts" over Lake Weir's waters. Inside is okay, but really just a bar. Outside, you can watch folks playing on the beach, maybe a float plane come right up to the restaurant, be amused by the antics of the ever-present grackles.
One of my favorite places, especially for lunch.
