Blackwater Inn Restaurant & Lounge

Wonderful place to relax on the St. John's River! Awesome Salad Bar!! Great Food, reasonably priced. Great Service! Happy Hour on Friday from 5 to 8pm up stairs on the deck. I drove over an hour to just go hang out for a while. I'm going back too.

Their shrimp, whether lemon pepper, Cajun, broiled or fried is the best within 75 miles. Salad bar is awesome. Ask for Cindy - she is very friendly & attentive.  We are MN snowbird's staying in The Villages & come here nearly once a week.

You won't be disappointed!

I was coming home from a men's conference in ormond beach heading to Clermont and needed a place to eat. We saw the Blackwater Inn on the list and decided to check it out. We actually ate at Williams landing on the upper floor. The food was very good, typical bar fare. My burger was cooked correctly and was very juicy and fresh. The service was good, our waitress seemed a little distracted but it was no big deal to us. If I found myself in Astor again, I would eat here for sure. I would recommend it to anyone traveling along fl-hwy 40 or the St. John's river. Good food and nice atmosphere right on the river.
