Question Stumpknockers

Has anyone taken the boat ride from there and stayed to eat? How was it?

Default Great food

We have been there many times,, wonderful old gal that is a server,, one of those you feel lucky that she is part of your day... VERY reasonable... great quality,,, Is so nice to set outside after you eat and enjoy the music.
Have never done the boat ride,, just never had the desire... I would to hear from others bout that.
STUMPKNOCKERS is one of our favorite places. only advise i could give ,, be careful going in and out when there... is a bit dangerous blind driveway.

Thanks for your reply. I'll be sure to check it out and perhaps the boat rode as well!

The night we were there it was very crowded but the food was great and so was the atmosphere.

We took my sister and brother-in-law Easter. Did the 1 hour boat ride about 3 and then ate at Stumpknockers about 4:30. Mike, the skipper was very knowledgeable and it was a scenic ride. We saw a couple of gators and lots of birds! The river was very low and he said he probably would not be able to navigate much longer. Hopefully our recent rains helped with that. One hour was just right. I think any longer would be too long. We ate outside and enjoyed the restaurant. You will enjoy both!

I love their catfish dinner. I get the regular dinner for $9.99 but they also have an all you can eat catfish dinner for $11.99. It comes with cole slaw and fries (but you can subsitute at no extra cost). Very good food.

Appreciate the replies, and the one hour ride (where have I heard that before) sounds fun! It's a date!

Have taken the boat ride and have dined there many times. My wife's favorite.

We ate at the one in Inverness and although the food was ok, the atmosphere does not compare to the one on the river!

Went to the river location last night. Interesting place to visit with lots of fish shack atmosphere. Wife and I both had the catfish meal and it was " good and plenty". Ate outside and the love bugs were an issue. Will definitely go again. Can handle groups if you call ahead.
