They say you can’t judge a book by its cover, and this is so true when it comes to restaurants. You can go to the fanciest restaurant and have a terrible meal or enjoy the best meal of your life at a little hole in the wall. This little restaurant with a huge fish sandwich is the perfect example.

Not many things stay the same for forty years, but locals are thankful that this little roadside gem pretty much has. Folks love the Bantam Chef in Bunnell, because this is a humble little hole in the wall where almost anyone can afford a delicious seafood dinner.

Delicious is really an understatement because these truly famous fish sandwiches are among the best in the state.

All of this awesomeness is hiding in a small, old-fashioned building with window service only. If you want to stay and eat, you can sit down at one of a few shaded picnic tables.

When you get your hands on one (if this bad boy will even fit in your hands), you’ll understand the rave reviews from both locals and tourists.

Although the famous fish sandwiches, piled high with over a pound of Alaskan pollock, tend to get all the attention, there’s so much more to love.

You can get a fantastic meal of shrimp, catfish, oysters. If you don’t like seafood, there’s always the chicken fingers, wings, or hot dogs.
