When in Okeechobee showing homes, Lightsey's is the perfect lunch/dinner spot to bring your friends. Fried gator was tender and delicious. Hush puppies are the best I've ever had. Cobia is always fresh. Service was impeccable. This is Florida's finest right here. They definitely got the FOODS! I've been to the new location in Jensen Beach as well and it is just as good.

This was on my list of restaurants to eat in Florida. It did not disappoint, the fried tomatoes were very good also had the lobster bisque good but a little salty. Also had the IPA sampler, real good. Glad that I gave them a try , service was also excellent.

Every weekend my husband and I look for a different restaurant to try. This weekend we came across Lightsey’s Seafood in Rio. From the welcome and service we received from our server Kelly, down to our meal, was a great experience. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

The first time we were there, the service was great. The second time, we were standing there for over 20 minutes. No one acknowledged us. The restaurant was not too terribly packed, and we were told that we would have a 30 to 45 minute wait. We left because that wasn't worth it. We are dissatisfied with the service this time around.
Taste Pretty
My food was so delicious. I had a large variety of options to pick from.Erica was my server and she was perfect very knowledgeable about the menu
AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!! Hair in my husbands food, ribs dry and very over cooked, catfish nuggets tasted so bad it made my husband physically ill. Drinks tasted like chlorine, service was poor, manager is incompetent and owner is rude!

Was not impressed with the food or service. The prices are very expensive for the quality of food that is served.
Jambalaya with hush puppies and sweet potato encrusted grouper were really good. Good drinks as well. Definitely going back.
