My wife and I were touring Florida looking for a community to retire to when we stumbled upon the great Watering Hole. It was dinner time anyway, so we gave it a try and discovered one of Florida's best-kept secrets. You can have all of those high-priced steakhouses and seafood joints. We got better food for less money and topped... more

Good steak (if you don't want it smothered in garlic butter - mention to server). No credit cards accepted. Can be very busy and there may be a wait for service. Good atmosphere. We will go back Check out the live gator inside! more

We live in Lake Placid, Florida and we had visitors here from Iowa, we took them to dinner on Wed. Sept. 10th and I was never so ashamed of a restaurant in my life. The table was sticky, service was lousy and the food was rotten. Our meal cost us $40.00 (for two), the fruit was brown and spoiled, you... more

The place doesn't look like much from the outside....There is a big sign in the shape of a gator that claims there is a 16' alligator inside (there is). Other than that, you might think this is the kind of place where a fight is most likely to break out on a Friday night. Well....If there ever was a time... more

The beef in this place is #1 and compares to no one! Thick cuts of steak, tender, flavored perfectly...melts in your mouth! My favorite dinner is the Northern style shrimp fettucini. I get it EVERY time I go! The seafood is top-notch, pastas are tender, we love this restaurant. It's a restaurant/bar (full bar) you can dine inside or outside... more

My wife and I were in Sebring for the day, and asked friends of ours who live in Sebring where we could find the best steak. Both of them answered in unison, "The Watering Hole". They then added a caveat and said that we had better like garlic and be prepared to wait, but the wait is worth it. We... more

Everytime we go to Sebring on a golf trip we always eat at the Watering Hole. The food is great and the service has always been good even when we show up unexpected with a large party. I enjoy the fried walleye perch fillet. If you have never been to Sebring, you need to stop by the Watering Hole. more

The food, after it finally arrived, was mostly good. The fillet was very tender but the flavor was not as good as I expected. My dining partner ordered a shrimp fetticuni "saute" that was very good. The huge problem was that our food arrived an hour after we ordered and we watched diners who arrived 30 minutes after us get... more

Best of the best, I've eaten in many of the worlds best steak houses, being from NYC and a well seasoned business traveler.The Watering Hole has the best steak I've ever eaten, bar none. I found this place quit by accident while on a golf outing. The owner is a 3rd generation cattle rancher. The steaks are all US Prime... more
