Where to Eat and Drink in Cedar Key

Never been to Cedar Key? Or maybe haven't been in a while? Check out our recommendations:

Breakfast

• Annie’s: adorable place on the water across the street from our building. This restaurant is often mentioned by guests in our reviews, and they rave about it too. Great breakfast. No AC. No cheddar cheese. (Note: closes seasonally, usually month of September)

• Cedar Key Island Bakery: While they don't have true breakfasts, they're great for patries and the like. This is a relatively new business.

• 2nd Street Café: This restaurant has a larger menu than Annie’s, but they charge for water, which annoys me. They also change the days they’re open and closed often. But the food is good.

Lunch

.

• 1842 Daily Grind: While this is good for coffee, they also have lunch specials and sandwiches that we've enjoyed.

• Fishbonz on 3rd: great sandwiches!

• Kiss Coffee House and Grill: neat food truck on FL-24.

• Steamers: Now located in 2nd Street Cafe. They also change $1 for water. We go here for dinner sometimes too.

Dinner

• Jaybird's Chicken: new place on Dock street. Great chicken!

• Steamers (see above for Lunch)

• Cedar Key Pizza and Subs: You could always get delivery, but now they have a seating area right on 2nd Street!

• The Island Hotel: We recommend getting steak at the restaurant in the Island Hotel. It’s a bit fancier than most other places on the island. (Pittsburgh style = tastes better than it looks.)

Drinks

• Lowkey Hideaway and Tiki Bar: the name says it all! Lovely tiki bar right on the water. They often have live music. They sometimes have a food truck as well.

• Sip & Sea Wine Bar: new establishment on Dock St. with great views. They have wine and charcuterie.

• Bonish Studio: the most happening place in Cedar Key after dark.

• Neptune Bar: located at the Island Hotel. Awesome place that often has live music.

Note: We do not recommend the Tipsy Cow.
