Away From The World in Cedar Key - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Amazing burgers and beautiful view! My husband and I sat outside right next to the water and saw dolphins and manatees while we were enjoying or our meals. We also got the groovy fries to go with our burgers and the were to die for! They didn't have beer on tap do to renovations, but their food definitely made up for it. We will be back for sure!

Waited almost an hour for our food, which was okay. They were out of half the food items we wanted to order, and they weren't even busy. Not a good experience.

Took over an hour for our food and it was not even crowded. The food was not very good. Blackened grouper was not blackened, just had the seasoning. Fries were frozen from a bag and tasteless. Not a good experience. Plus they were out of a lot of items on the menue.

Best burgers we have had beer was ice cold

We went for lunch today. The waitresse was really great and helpful. But the beer taps were down so they only had canned/bottled beer. Because of this their selection was pretty limited. Also, I expected more than 4 or 5 burger choices. And, they were out of coconut for shrimp. BUT, I had the fried shrimp and the garlic fries and they were both quite yummy. And the atmosphere, location and view are all great.

Great food. A tad too busy for me excellent waitresses. Will dine again

Eat here all the time. Great place, always great service and food. I personally enjoy the grilled grouper sandwhich which for the price comes with a hefty amount of meat on it compared to alot of other places.

I took a Tour group here for a Ocala/ Cedar Key Food Walks tasting tour. We had Gulf Shrimp 3 different ways. All Excellent!! Smiles and thumbs up from 10 "Foodies" Beautiful views and seating on the Gulf.

Except for the peste birds wanting ur food....it was a perfect day and the food was yummy

Great burgers. Nice atmosphere.

Best burger I have had. Great atmosphere. Definitely going back.

One of the best places to grab a burger in Florida. Great view of the Gulf. The establishment is clean and the staff is awesome and very friendly. If you go, try the Halloween burger, if you dare..

Delicious good, good beers, great service!

Food okay but not that special for being on the water restaurant

I had the Gravedigger Burger, well done, but I opted for no onions and added American Cheese and Bacon to it. I had Fries for my side. This Burger was out of this world DELICIOUS!! The burger itself was so tender and juicy (yes, I said it was well done). The bacon was crispy, the lettuce and tomato fresh and crunchy, the bun was toasted to perfection. This is easily the best tasting burger that I have had in the last 10 years. The fries were good also. The prices were very fair, the staff was very friendly and accommodating. We will definitely be back and will totally recommend this restaurant.

If your not in a hurry and want amazing food with an amazing view you should make it a point to stop in. We had the cutest waitress. Sat on the deck and enjoyed the best nachos and coconut shrimp I've ever had. The local clams where great as well.

The ac was not working but the food was excellent! Cooked exactly the way I requested it! Which is a big deal for me as I have food allergies. Would definitely go again.

The burgers were excellent. Enjoyable place to go.

Drove from Spring Hill for a little adventure with my wife and found this gem here. Service was great and burgers and fries was amazing great quality and tasted great only down fall was that my wife had flat soda but we didn’t asked for anything els so not servers fault I got the real southern sweet tea from this place and man it was good. Thank you

Awesome burgers. Great view and staff.

If you like meat a good choice.

Good food, good beer, great staff.

Chill place for lunch, with some humor thrown into the menus. Ordered the fried oysters, and a fish basket (forgot the fish) coated in coconut. Both were on point, and a much needed refreshment from visiting the island off the coast. Wait staff was friendly and patient as we took our times with our orders, and refilled our drinks often. Sides however, weren't anything special and possibly slightly below resturaunt quality expectation and closer to cooking at home.

Location Location. Location. Great gulf view.

Loved the food, for the quality of beef, it's really cheap. Absolutely loved the food names! So creative!

$3 to share. Not a good policy. Burger was fair.

This was a great place to go for a meal with a view. You are right on the gulf overlooking the water. The food and service was great. My only complaint was that there were a lot of bugs bitting everyone.

The burgers are huge. Lots of different wings and delicious. The servers took good care of the 7 of us. Right on the water with fans and cool breeze and fun decor.

Wow! Best tasting burger meat I have ever had! Actually, my wife got the burger and I got the chicken wings but I took a bite! It has such an amazing taste. And the chicken wings for a very meaty and very large. Another customer was even stating that he could never finish the wings. Great choices of flavors as well. The older waitress kept making mistakes on the orders, and we heard it with other tables as well. But she means well, so just check your bill. However do not go to Dockside Motel! BEDBUGS! Even after the remodeling!

Great wings, great fish tacos.... overworked staff. Waitress (I think Sidney) is a doll. Loved it all.

Great food, super friendly staff, our favorite lunch stop.

Food is real good, but there is a wait. Burger of the day is a deal though..

Love their beer selection, burgers and hor dourves. Staff is friendly and fun!

Black and Blue is great, onion rings too!

Sidney, the bar tender, is awesome!!!

Food is always on point, not necessarily open normal hours, but it's an island... So they're open on island times I guess!! Love the Dave Matthews theme too!

Love it. Best coconut maui fingers and grouper sandwich. We sat outside on the deck and the view an service was outstanding. I rarely give any place a 5 star rating on my first visit but this restaurant deserves it.

Sat at the bar. It was not clean.

...most delicious burgers ever! Pleasant staff! Friendly atmosphere!

Went strolling thru town and saw this interesting name for a restaurant and decided to go upstairs and eat lunch there. The table was all wet from something, so my husband went inside and got napkins to wipe it off. We were sitting on the balcony. We both ordered a cranberry and lettuce salad and ice tea. When the food arrived it looked like a salad you'd eat before a big meal. Not much in the bowl. We thought it would be a large salad like other restaurants have. Nope, not here. Needless to say, I will make our salads from now on in my kitchen. At least we can feel full upon completion.

Great location really good burger

Fresh food, chilled beer and live music by the ocean. What else could one ask for

Great food, loved the water view seating, and everything is reasonably priced. They have a really cool bartop made with tons of bottle caps. I would most definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Cedar Key!!!

Awesome people and the nachos are off the chain!!!

Great food and service! Has outside seating with a fantastic view of the water.

There are relatively few places to eat in Cedar Key but it's taken a trip or two before I finally tried this one. Nice place and the service was attentive. Food arrived quickly. I had the "Halloween" burger which was billed as very hot/spicy. I have a pretty high tolerance for spicy food and found this burger rather mild... But the flavor was great and had just enough heat to remind you there were some good peppers in there. This place will go on our dining rotation when we come to town.

Pleasant lunch with a perfect egg and the manager/waitress was awesome 🍔🍺🍷

Service was mediocre to say the least BUT they were quite busy and only 2 servers were working. It was very warm in the restaurant itself BUT it is August so it's somewhat expected. There was a window AC in the area we sat in a only fans in all the other areas. When we finally ordered and got our burgers...Tom's Grux Special was perfect...my AFTW burger had raw onions (I had ordered grilled) and the cheese was not melted at all. Miranda, our server rectified the mistakes. When Tom asked for a straw for his water...she answered "No...we're trying to do our part". Kudos to your restaurant for that!

Awesome place great Beer and burgers

Nice place, appropriately divey for the area. Fun Anericana food at decent prices. In door and dog friendly (they have doggie foods on the menu! outdoor seating. Definitely a great spot to chow if you're looking for non-seafood options. THE HALLOWEEN BURGER IS NO JOKE. Not for the feint of heart will leave your mouth tingling for 30 min after you finish, delicious if you can handle the heat.

Nice place. Indoor and outdoor seating. Awesomely cold beer. They have craft beer and domestic and a few imported beer. Did I say cold beer? Food was delish. Service was great 👍 👍 great view. Don't feed the seagulls unless you want to clean up the mess. 100% recommend it to anyone.

Great views, great service. Didn't get to try the burgers, next time!

The burgers here are absolutely phenomenal. There are tons to choose from or you can create your own. My husband got the Hot Halloween burger, which had scorpion, Carolina reaper, and ghost peppers in it. He said it was awesome (as he sweated bullets and cried). We also enjoyed the house made onion rings and some deep fried oreos for dessert. The outside dining area looked lovely with plenty of shade. We ate inside since a storm was coming. Knocked one star off because the place smelled like a bathroom air freshener and they advertise having a ton of beer, but they didn't carry an amber or even a beer list. All in all, would definitely recommend!

Yummy food really good burgers!

Had the chicken bruscetta sandwich - it was delicious! Great service and beer selection. We sat out by the water and watched dolphins play.

Great location. Great ambiance befitting of a seaside cafe. Excellent & quirky burger selection. Garlic aioli available for a dipping sauce selection... 'nuff said.

Great meal we had the bruchetta chicken sandwich and grouper fingers!

The locale is awesome, of course. Being on the upper floor, the deck gives you great views. The food was good, but it took a while to get. The service was excellent tho, and the scenery distracts from the wait.

First stop as soon as I get to Cedar Key! Love the owners!

Qwirky, great views, excellent food and service. Very enjoyable visit, can't wait to go back there.

Great food and service. The view is out of this world.

It was ok. Beer selection is ok. My glass was not clean. Burger was ok. Service was good.

Wonderful food beautiful views and great service will definitely go back.

Food was good and beer selection was adequate. The view was great, but - while there wasn't anything bad about my experience there - with the exception of the view this place was rather uninteresting.

Great local spot. Friendly owner and staff. Best burgers for miles and a great beer selection.

Great place to grab a a burger well worth the price a perfect place to sit on the deck and enjoy sea breeze

The best burger and salad while seated by the gulf.

Great burger and we were able to bring our dog. Very much worth a visit.

Love it great family time. Miranda and Linda were great. Thanks for everything ladies.

So a mixed bag here, the burgers were great and the bartender was more than willing to let us sample the beers. It was hot as hell and they only had 8 beers on tap vs the 26 thats advertised. If they could figure out the ac people would stay for more than one drink.

Great food, and great atmosphere! Nice place for beers at the bar or dinner on the deck!

We stopped for a visit on a Saturday evening around 6:30 p.m. The location wasn't overly busy and there were a total of about six tables with people sitting at them. Pretty good beer selection with their 26 taps. Food menu was adequate with a good selection of burgers. There is a small section on the menu that advises you that the best way to eat a burger is medium-rare, however, despite ordering mine that way, it came out on the medium well to well done side. We also ordered clams which came out very gritty. We asked for butter and got butter alternative. Not the best thing to have with your clams. Still overall not terrible. The coconut breaded cod was very tasty and was good. There was a live band (solo act) playing in the corner and he was very talented which helped us pass the time. That was a good thing since from when we sat down until we got our meals was well over an hour. And of course our clam appetizer came out with our meals rather than first as we had requested. I was hoping to order an additional beer or two so I asked the server to bring back the beer menu. She brought it to the table, looked at my near empty glass and wasn't seen again until the end of our meal. Hospitality Industry Hint: if someone asks for the menu its probably because they want to order more. The views from the upper deck are awesome if you like looking out over the Gulf. But since just about every restaurant on the street has the same views, this place didn't make it to our list of places we would go back to.

The meatloaf sandwich and hand cut fries along with the side of cheese dip was spectacular.

Great hamburger and homemade french fries, which is something you can't even find at a county Fair anymore. And they throw in good and friendly service along with a great water view.

The food was delicious! And the view from the outdoor seating was great! However, all beer taps were down, and there was a small selection of beer in bottles/cans, and the waitress had no clue as to what beer was what. I chose a bloody Mary instead, and was very pleased with that choice.

If you love the Dave Matthews Band, this is a must visit! And the food is good too!

Been coming to Cedar Key for years. Best food yet.

We came for brunch. We arrived 5 minutes before breakfast ended, but they said no problem. Our food was perfect.... fresh & delicious. We both had omelets & were happy to see the chunky fresh veggies inside. The home fries were hot & fresh too. Our only complaint is that we had to move to sit directly in front of the wall air conditioner because the restaurant is SO warm inside.

We just finished a great breakfast. Loved being on the water this morning. I am picky about my eggs, but b these came exactly as I ordered them. Husband had the home fries and loved tjhem.

Awesome burger and beer selection

Great people and environment. Love going here to enjoy the view with an ice cold beer.

Service and food was wonderful. Loved being on the water, our waitress was very friendly and checked on us regularly. The only problem I had was that I wished it would have been cooler inside but that could have been just because I was already so hot from the boat tour I was on. Wonderful place to eat and will definitely go back when I am in town again. Lovely place.

Stopped in for lunch. Tried the sliders. They were fantastic. Good variety. The fries were also very good. They were huge and seasoned perfectly. Prices were reasonable. Service was good.

First, I am a biased DMB fan that probably would have loved this place regardless. However, as objectively as I can be, this is a great burger joint. I had Halloween and my wife had the Eh Hee burgers. Hers was a turkey patty and mine was the veggie patty ($2 upgrade). Both came with french fries and it was all delicious. Great views of the Gulf, feel the breeze with outdoor seating on the water, and feed your ears with sustenance of DMB. GREAT TIME!

Their rating of best burger in Cedar Key is well deserved. Yummy!

Well its is from last year and we are here in Cedar key now. Planning on coming in for a late lunch today. But it's definitely a five star all around and the folks who work there are awesome!

Very Awesome Place. Great environment. Loved the waitress. And the art.

A great burger. Delecious. And the fries were to die for. Quite literally the best fries I've ever had. A great view of the water, it's neat to see all the boats launching and getting onto the trailers. And it's right next to an ice cream place. This might be weird, but the bathroom walls have tons of funny statements all over them. Defenitley go there to eat. You won't regret it. And they are dog friendly. 💯💯

Everyone had burgers and all were good. Nice views off the dock. Very dog friendly.
