Tucked away on North Bay Street in Eustis, The Troff continues to prove why it’s a favorite local hangout. My recent visit — a casual evening with friends — checked every box for a no-frills, genuinely enjoyable night out.
Ice-Cold Buckets & Easygoing Atmosphere
We kicked off with not one but two Buckets, each packed with a mix of Coors Light and Michelob Ultra. At $17 per bucket, it’s hard to beat the value, especially when the beers arrive perfectly chilled and ready to set the tone for a relaxed evening.
Our server, Gabriel, kept things moving smoothly without ever hovering. Service was attentive in that easy, small-town Florida way — friendly, laid-back, and on point.
Seafood Done Right
If you’re a seafood fan, The Troff delivers. We ordered a dozen oysters, steamed well and served fresh for $13.99 — a surprisingly great price for the quality. They were plump, briny, and a great complement to the cold drinks.
The standout dish of the night, though, was the Buffalo Shrimp. For $12.99, you get a generous portion cooked to a perfect medium, coated in a tangy buffalo sauce, and paired with ranch for dipping. It’s exactly the kind of comfort-seafood dish you’d hope for at a casual spot like this.
Comfort Food with Classic Flavor
Of course, we couldn’t pass up a plate of garlic toast — perfectly toasted, buttery, and ideal for sharing at only $3.50. Simple pleasures, done right.
A Wallet-Friendly Evening
With a subtotal of $71.18 for three people and a final total of $76.19, The Troff proves itself as a place where you can enjoy quality food, cold drinks, and good company without stretching the budget. The suggested tips on the receipt were super helpful — always a nice touch for groups.
Final Thoughts
Whether you’re stopping in for cold beers after work or craving a casual seafood bite, The Troff delivers exactly what it promises: great value, good food, and an atmosphere that makes you want to linger just a little longer. It’s the kind of place that feels like home — even if you’re just visiting.
Highly recommend for a relaxed night out in Eustis.
