Roy's Restaurant: Fresh Seafood & Southern Classics in Steinhatchee
Since 1969, Roy's Restaurant has been a cornerstone of Steinhatchee's culinary scene, celebrated for its fresh seafood, Southern hospitality, and commitment to community. Following Hurricane Helene's impact on our waterfront dining room, we've adapted by serving our signature dishes from a food trailer while maintaining our 55-year legacy of quality recipes and service. Our team continues to deliver hand-breaded Gulf shrimp, prime rib, and other favorites daily, complemented by weekend specials that reflect our culinary creativity. Every meal supports our staff and brings us closer to reopening our full-service restaurant.We prioritize locally sourced ingredients and time-honored cooking methods, from fried delicacies to blackened specialties, ensuring each dish honors our tradition of excellence. Our salad bar features homemade dressings and fresh produce, while our bar offers a curated selection of domestic and imported beers, wines, and cocktails. For dessert, indulge in classic Southern treats like key lime pie and triple chocolate cake. We remain dedicated to providing a welcoming atmosphere where patrons can enjoy exceptional food and coastal charm.
