Stumpknockers On The River

Experience the Difference

We’re not a Chain Restaurant, we’re Stumpknockers! Stumpknockers Restaurants have been in business for over 30 years. Over the years, local owners and Inverness natives, Tim and John Channell have assembled a top notch staff to serve up a menu that includes Florida favorites like; Catfish, Frog Legs, Sea Scallops, Steaks, Chicken  and of course Florida Gator. Add that to a fun casual atmosphere along side with a very warming atmosphere and scenery and you too can experience the difference.

What is a Stumpknocker?

The Stumpknocker is a fish that has long been a part of Southern fishing lore. You’ll find these small bream-like fish hugging the submerged cypress stumps where they live and feed – thus giving them the name Stumpknockers. Stumpknockers are found in large numbers along the scenic Withlacoochee and other Florida rivers. Stumpknockers Restaurants is like its namesake – small and tucked away, but well worth the trouble to find.

    Yeah, we went to the stop knockers. They’re on the river on Sunday afternoon. I ordered the New York strip my buddy ordered the New York strip. I got my medium well he got his medium well I believe also well when they brought mine back, it was rare, but it looked good. I couldn’t eat it cause it had too much fat on it and it was literally bleeding on my plate I told the server that I just don’t want it. You can take it back. She went and got the old lady which is supposedly the manager. Our bill was $100. We got drinks. She only give us credit for five dollars and I took three bites out of my steak. I think that’s pretty crappy.

    Worst restaurant and food ever went to in my 70 years of age. And they won’t give you a printed receipt. Felt sick for 2 days and blood work showed stomach poisoning.

      Was with 7 other friends and our server was serving many other tables but you wouldn’t know it. Christina was very attentive and kept our drinks coming! The food was delicious and the servings are huge. Every one of our plates were overflowing. The oysters were plump. I highly suggest the fried vegetable platter for an appetizer. Sounds boring but it’s not! All 7 of my friends were amazed at how delicious it was. Thanks again, Christina!
