“ My husband and I went for date night! We had a fantastic time. The food was great we had an order of Gator bites(was a very large helping), One special blackened Mahi topped with a pineapple salsa with a side of fries and it came with soup or salad I choose the new england clam chowder (it was all lightly seasoned but full of natural flavors and very delicious). My husband ordered the chicken wings (he enjoyed them they were the normal basic wings) we did try there house wing sauce and would definitely recommend it. Infact we got a side and used it as a dipping sauce it was very good. We did try the homemade peanut butter pie. It was absolutely the best dessert we've ever had anywhere. Our server Troy actually recommended it. Troy was on point the entire time and so friendly he even helped with my dinner choice with a coin flip. It was truly a great experience. The owner even stopped by our table to see how everything went. It was a great date night. ”

“ Stopped by stumpknockers for dinner today, it's wild how high the water is! It's definitely an experience worth making a trip for. Service (by Brandy) and the food was absolutely fabulous. Everything is made from scratch and to order and so delicious and the amount of food you get is well worth the price. Can't wait to come back soon! ”

“ Amazing place to eat right on the Withlacoochie River. Great views, the good was so good, and service was not only fast but our server, who was also the outside bartender, had such a great attitude even though she got very busy all at once. It's a beautiful place to have a great meal. ”

“ First time stopping here and we were not disappointed. We split an appetizer of Gator Nuggets (which was a very generous amount). Sat outside (under the covered porch) closest to the river which had such a beautiful view. Will definitely be back to try some more items, peeping tables nearby, all the food looked delicious! Very friendly staff as well. Worth the stop! ”

“ We had an amazing anniversary dinner for my parents last night! My parents and I had never been here before, but my husband recommended it and I’m so glad he did. The atmosphere was so old Florida and the food was incredible. Definitely best catfish I’ve ever had!! The service was incomparable! I can’t wait to come back and so thankful Stumpknockers is keeps my old Florida vibe alive. Thank you so much!!! ”

“ We chose to eat inside for our first dinner here. The atmosphere was wonderful and our waitress was very attentive and helpful. We had fabulous steaks- done exactly as we like! The side dishes were also very good. After we finished, we walked down to the river to enjoy that lovely view. I think we’ll eat outside next time to enjoy that view! The drive is an hour for us, but well worth the trip! ”
