Where did you eat this week that was really good?

[Ragman]

Instead of bad , let's try a running thread on the good experiences. Nothing older than one week.

To start four of us ate at Bonifay Saturday night and although it was busy the service was very good after being seated and the food (3 tilapia specials and 1 fish and chips were all hot and tasty).

I'd rather hear a place to go than one to avoid.

Keep in mind all restaurants drop the ball occasionally, but this might tell people good things to order.

If your waitperson is great give them a shout too.

Sonny's at LSL! Great ribs with great sides of BBQ beans and corn on the cob. Yum!

[raynan]

Oak Wood on 441. June special....full rack of ribs with 2 sides for $10.99...Sundays thru Wednesdays. Yummy!

[travelguy]

China Gourmet III at the Colony Plaza. Consistently good quality, hot and fresh, priced ridiculously low, and prepared so quickly. Where can 2 adults eat for less than $15.00 & usually less than $10.00?

[delima2000]

Mom and dads in lady lake. Great pasta and love the broccoli soup. Service was great.

[geri317]

First Watch off of 441, near the hospital. Went for lunch. Excellent service with a smile and the food was super!

I second the "yummy"! We had the rib special tonight and it was great as usual.

[DandyGirl]

The Lighthouse today. Boston Harbor Buffalo Chicken salad is fabulous every time!

[keithwand]

The Noggin Room at the Perry Hotel!

[gomoho]

The Mexican restaurant in Colony Plaza - name escapes me - great chicken chimichanga, chips and salsa and cold beer. Prices and service outstanding.

Rita's Oyster Bar and Grill - Cute little restaurant on 301 in the "save alot" shopping center. (take 466A to RT301 take a left and shopping center is on your left)

Open for lunch and dinner!

I had an ice cold beer and the raw oysters - Fresh CLEAN and tasty! They have Maine Lobsters on Friday and Sat nites 4PM and on... the Lobsters are about 1/14 lb, steamed and comes with potato and veg (just ok - French fries need to be crispier, so order them that way). Sweetbay charges $14.99 a lb for a lobster so at $15.99 for the dinner this is a good deal!

Fried oysters, Fried shrimp - peel and eat shrimp - fried or broiled fish - steamed clams - crab legs - WINGS - chicken, steak, and/or shrimp kabobs, frog legs, grilled chicken and ....GATOR!

If you get a chance, give it a try - Not 5 star restaurant, but clean, pretty good food and priced well.
There is a restaurant next door (Athena?? i think?) looks like a greek place,but I would give that a shot too....

[Skip2MySue]

Longhorn, dinner......Good service, good food
Too Jays, dinner........Good service, good food
Too Jays, breakfast.....Great service, very good food

Wife and I woke up this morning and said we didn't feel like cooking breakfast and doing dishes so we jumped on the motorcycle and rode to Bushnell to Jenny's, formally Herb and Pegs. My wife likes the down home places where people come in and the staff knows everyone. We had a great breakfast for a total of $11.00. Had a beautiful ride home around Lake Panosoffee.
It doesn't get any better than that ! Round trip to Bushnell about an hour.

I had lunch on Saturday at Katie Bells... Chicken Jerk salad was great.. Entertainment was awesome....

[villages07]

We had company, so more dining out than normal...

RJ Gators...we all had dinner salads..all good and tasty ....we were saving room for the Gator Tail dessert that our guest has been craving for two years. Food and service were good. We were surprised that gator tail is all vanilla ice cream rather than praline. It still got consumed....almost all of it.

Outback...always tasty including the bloomin onion.

Oasis Grill at Lopez...sweet burger salad...yumm.

Back to small rations and home cooking....

Shrimp Roll at Panera. Lots of shrimp and big chunks of avocado.

[bkcunningham1]

Sunday night we went to Peachwave Frozen Yogurt on Colony Blvd. I was pleasantly surprised by the prices. Very, very reasonable prices and good yogurt. We plan on giving them more of our business.

[Happinow]

Outback....their wood fired salmon is wonderful and the creamy onion soup is better than it sounds!!

[Bill32]

Longhorn ............very good steak for the money, excellent service..........

[Sage327]

Carrabba's. Love the small portion option and food is very good.

[Bonny]

City Fire ! You can't beat the new Sunset Menu. I had the crusted chicken with boursin cheese mashed potatoes and snow pea pods. Delish. Hubby had the chicken vesuvio. It's similar to alfedo. Yum !!

[jackz]

Sunday afternoon in the off hours sitting at the bar.

Had Ceasar Salads, 1 order of Bang Bang Shrimp with sauce on the side and split a burger.

All food and drinks excellent, well priced and great service by bartender Dawn.

[Mudder]

Lunch Sunday at Koyame......excellent as usual !

[rayschic]

Sunday brunch at Glenview. Never had a Monte Cristo before. It was delicious. Hubby had eggs benedict. That was also good. Glass of champagne included. Love the view from that restaurant.

Just did a big review on Burke's BBQ on 466a - Delicious Southern Cooking and Ribs to die for.. the smoked chicken looked great too. Far superior to anything Oakwood or Sonny's can produce... and a lovely, local family...

[Villageshooter]

Oshucks,,, is great not some roach filled country club,, just good eating with cold beer good wings,, at a very FAIR price,,, hard working guy tryiing feed his family ,,

[Happinow]

I know this sounds silly, but when hubby and I were running some errands today we got hungry. Didn't want to waste a lot of time so we decided to stop at McDonald's. We are not fast food people and haven't had McDonalds in years. Hubby had a fish filet and I wanted something light so I tried their new wraps. I had a grilled chicken wrap with a bit of ranch dressing. It had grilled chicken, cucumbers, lettuce, tomato and a bit of cheese. It was also huge! I was expecting a small wrap but when this one came out I thought I would never finish it. Guess what? I did! It was worth the 3.79 price for this wrap. Now, I wouldn't make this a weekly choice, but in a pinch I would order the same wrap again. I posted this because I was surprised at how good it was and was healthier than a Burger.

[Carla B]

Sunday brunch at Harbor Hills Country Club. Not the very fanciest or high-priced of brunches, but good food and a beautiful view overlooking Lake Griffin. The piano player plays soft music in the background and the mimosas/champagne are $4, including refills. I had the made-to-order crepes flamb� with fresh peaches. Yum!

[Newbeginnings]

The mussels at Red sauce, dilish..

[l2ridehd]

I was traveling this week and was in Colorado Springs. Went up the Ute pass to a very small town, Green Mountain Falls and ate at the Black Bear Restaurant. I will go back. You order by the number of courses you want only. 5, 7, 9, or 12. I did the 7. No idea what the chef will serve. This little log cabin place in the middle of no where has won 4 and 5 stars every year for 9 years.

I had a 1. watermelon and lime soup with agave cream, 2. a walnut and goat cheese salad with spinach and a poached egg cooked 8 hours at 140 degrees, 3. creamed grits with alligator bratwurst, 4. Cajan style shrimp and dirty rice, 5. pasta with fresh vegetables and a 5 cheese sauce 6. a very small strip steak over garlic potatoes with a lamb meatloaf, 7. passion fruit panna cotta with fresh berries and a chocolate tart with hazel nut sauce.

Everything was outstanding and cooked perfectly. For $5 a course you can add a wine pairing. If your ever in this area, go out of your way to find this treasure of a dining experience.

[zcaveman]

Beef O'Brady's in Mulberry for breakfast on Sunday. Great omelets.

[al & jane]

Takis in Lady Lake. Great grilled chicken pita and Greek salad.

[Mudder]

What and where is Chi's please? I would love some awesome fries.

[Ragman]

Chi's grill is between Belk and Winn-Dixie in La Grand shopping center on 441.

Pretty good cheese steak and huge banana splits also.

Thanks for the response to the thread; I am enjoying it and finding some new places.

It's hard to find good Lobster Bisque but I did at Arnold Palmers.

[Markam]

Ate again yesterday at my favorite breakfast place, Lil Bits Cafe. Excellent 'home cookin', fair price, and very friendly staff. 11962 County Road 101 - in the strip mall across 101 from Crispers.

[ssmith]

Bump...enjoying the posts

[mountaineergirl]

Chi's fries are the absolute best!

I like Chi's and I haven't eaten anything that wasn't delicious at Taki's. I love their pizzas. Mmmm

It is a really nice thread. Thank you for starting it and thanks to everyone for posting.

The Lighthouse and Evans Prairie. I've also never had a bad meal at Bonifay, and I see some others agree..

[Susan G]

Had our monthly Montbrook ladies luncheon at Cotillion Southern Cafe' today with 14 in attendance. Our 11:00 a.m. reservation was handled perfectly! If you haven't eaten there, everything is served ASAP (As Southern As Possible) and dessert is a "must" with mile high homemade cakes and pies. Located at 101 Main Street - Wildwood. Reservations suggested: 352-748-1223.

[dtiger38]

Sonrise Breakfast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Always a great job.

Lighthouse for lunch always the best food and Service. Please don't change a thing.

I gained ten pounds just reading your post. I love The Cotillion. And yes. Dessert is a must. mmmmm

The Mission Inn's (located in Howey-in-the Hills) Saturday night buffet is out of this world good. All you can eat sushi, crab legs and prime rib buffet.

[travelguy]

We had a group of 12 at Havana this evening. Our server was Holly. She did a great job, food was very good. Also listened to Danny and Johnny.

[Bonny]

No, not related. We have been going there since it opened as Urban Flats. We have known Alan, the bartender for 12 years. The staff is amazing. The owners of City Fire are 2 of the most awesome people we know. They run a great business & really care about the customers and the employees. They are a class act !!!

I like Havana. I think they have good food. They have been working really hard to take care of everything they need to do.

[SALYBOW]

We have eaten several times lately at Arnold Palmer. The food was good and our server, Ryan, was very, very good. He made us feel like we were at a very expensive restaurant.
Will definitely ask for him every time.

[Duvalboomer]

Cody's and Evans Prairie

New York style egg sandwiiches with a REAL Kaiser roll....AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!

[Shimpy]

HOME. I got an answer to an E-mail from my cousin in Pittsburgh requesting a receipt for "City Chicken" which I haven't had for 60 years living in Fla.
It turned out delicious.

[LittleDog]

Today after golf I had a reuben sandwich at Havana. It was kind of messy what with the sauerkraut getting the bread wet. However what was really good about this sandwich was they had sliced corn beef on the sandwich which was really good. Usually you don't find "real" corned beef on a reuben sandwich. Very tasty.

[Golf View]

I second the fine service and great dinner at Bonifay. We were early so it was quiet, the service unhurried and it was still Happy Hour until 5pm. Our dinners were nicely presented and had excellent flavors. I'll be back to try a different entree soon.
