Harvest or Evans Prairie for us.

Bonifay and Scooples are good but not as good as the two above.

Bluefin has a really good brunch but we haven't had dinner there.

Chop House is probably really good but steak houses aren't for us.

I will, however, step in to defend good people and business owners who have brought nothing but their heart and soul to make the villages a better place. But they will always be bashed, second guessed, and slandered by those who wish to destroy good people here.

Let me get this straight. You bashing, second guessing, and slandering people on this forum, people you have never met, is okay. And, you reading posts with an emotion that may or may not be there, is also okay. All this you do "to defend good people and business owners." Sure! I believe that! Pot meet kettle.

They all taste almost the same, they're all priced similarly, and if you want to pay extra you can go to the nicer one and get the same exact steak but with the "aoli" (which is just fancy mayo, I mean c'mon) or your sauteed mushrooms with less pepper in the seasoning than the other ones have.

Sysco has a market share of 17% so I would not call that a near-monopoly. They are the largest food distributor granted but US Foods and GFS have significant presence.

Dont you just love people who believe their bashing is appropriate and needed. But, whenever others do it, they are "pearl clutching antagonists who have nothing better to do with their life." The post is extremely inappropriate since the poster believes most people who bash or complain are women. Never saw a man clutching his pearls! I am glad shut the front door doesn't post often. I understand why you responded this way, Margaret.

Nothing fancy, but good food at a good price.

Oh, and no annoyingly loud live "entertainment".

Aren't you describing a Panera? Which happens to be down the street?

So is Indian.

Another gold mine for this company and a welcome addition to this town square.

Wow, I haven’t been to Spanish Springs since I ate dinner at Cattleman’s Club. Many many years ago.

If FMK food was so boring and service so bad, they wouldn’t be expanding, because no one would eat there.

Villagers talk with their wallet.

Ditto!
