In Steinhatchee on the Nature Coast, Roy’s Restaurant is the legendary dining and drinking destination that has defined this small fishing village for generations. The scallops are the main event — Steinhatchee is the scalloping capital of Florida, and Roy’s has been serving them in season alongside mullet, grouper, and the freshest gulf seafood imaginable since the 1950s. Cold beer, a warm local welcome, and the kind of honest Old Florida character that you can’t manufacture. When the scallop season opens in July, the whole state knows where to go.
