Host Your Next Event on Our Lakeside Patio

Birthdays, corporate gatherings, milestone celebrations – our restaurant patio at The Black Hammock turns every occasion into an unforgettable waterfront experience on Lake Jesup.

A Venue Like No Other in Central Florida

Forget generic banquet halls. Our restaurant patio sits right on the water’s edge, surrounded by towering cypress trees and the wild beauty of Lake Jesup – home to over 10,000 alligators and some of the most stunning sunsets in Florida.

Whether you’re planning an intimate birthday dinner for 20 or a corporate reception for 100+, the patio’s open-air layout and lakeside views create the kind of atmosphere your guests will be talking about long after the party is over.
