A Must See! Linger Lodge is a classic Old Florida-style RV Park and Restaurant in Bradenton, on the Northern bank of the Braden River.
Whether local or a visitor, the Linger Lodge is a must-see to experience authentic Old Florida charm. Located right on Braden River, Linger Lodge is surrounded by beautiful vistas and no shortage of alligators, turtles, and other wildlife.
The Linger Lodge has been in the making for 76 years (since 1945!). It has withstood many owners, each adding personal memorabilia to create this unique place. The walls are adorned with various taxidermied creatures, including fictional creations like the Jackalope, the Alaskan Fur Fish, and the Walking Catfish. The RV Park, established as a 100-acre fishing camp, is now host for those seeking the perfect glamper getaway. And the restaurant offers hearty Southern cuisine like no other place.
Restaurant
The Linger Lodge Restaurant & Bar is a quirky riverside restaurant.
It boasts an eclectic menu serving burgers and sandwiches, barbecued meats, fried seafood, and fried green tomatoes. Order the frog legs and the seafood étouffée for an authentic Southern treat. The restaurant was named “one of the top five weirdest restaurants in America” by weatherman Al Roker,
I highly recommend the Linger Lounge for an experience of a lifetime!
