Other things are burgers and pasta (not just macaroni!). Not a fancy burger, just a plain, regular well-cooked, juicy burger. You can keep the shrooms, bacon, special sauces, etc. Best for the price is Cane Garden. Sadly, I've found Burger King to be better than some around here.

Cane Garden has a lobster pizza that looks really good. Wish I could try it out (allergies suck!).

Little Joe's (I think that's the name) on 441 has decent Italian food.

Still haven't found any ribs that I think are worth eating. Guess I'm stuck making them at home. I think part of my problem is that I don't like sweet bbq sauce. I want a Tony Roma's. Good sauce, decent meat.

Coming from San Francisco, I really, really miss good Chinese, especially Hunan. If I don't have beads of sweat on my forehead while eating, there's something wrong.

Oops, forgot to mention I LOVE the breakfast buffet at Katie Belle's. Great bread pudding and I like being able to order an omelette to my taste.


Belleview Pizza is our favorite for Italian

Had ribs at Takis and thought they were pretty good

Someone on this board said that the Chinese place on 42 near Mulberry was worth a try. Will report back.

I suppose asking for a decent Japanese place is asking too much.

I tried the sliders at Krystal near the Paddock Mall in Ocala, not even close to White Castle. Done That!

The iced coffee with carmel at McDonalds is nearly half the price of Starbucks and not bad.
