Shady Oak Restaurant

I had scallops and shrimp wrapped in bacon, onion rings and potato salad (my 2 sides of choice) & hush puppies... Amazing!!! My Sweetie Pie had coconut shrimp with a pineapple sauce/glaze with hush puppies and he chose Cole slaw.... We all cleaned our plates! We started with gator Bites and fried jalapeno poppers stuffed with cream cheese.... I've never had gator anything..... I'm a

Great place to relax. Very peaceful atmosphere. The food is always good. This visit it took a long time to get our lunch but it was hot and good. 👍
