OMG I am so glad we went! #1 who cares if you have to read through "cute" names for food, makes it less mundane to me and doesn't take much longer at all! Place was busy but we got in immediately as 2 tables had just freed up. Took awhile to get our food but OMG I would wait forever for this food. Tasted like made in my own kitchen only better! Food was to die for. Eggs cooked perfect, biscuits awesome, I love corned beef hash and have yet since moving from Illinois found any truly homemade. It was incredible. Hubby had one of the freshest big omelette's he's ever had ham in it was so fresh really fresh green pepper too, Ok there home potatoes were so delicious! I have rarely ever been to a place that crisps up the corned beef hash without asking. This cook was right on perfect browning of it. LOL Ok can you tell I am beyond pleased! This will be our go to breakfast place from now on, heads above any place around here! Worth the drive and wait!
What a great review for a restaurant, we're going to try it!

Can't say enough good Rae Rae's, but I don't have to. rdhdleo did it for me! Good job on the write up and the food and service is really that good!

Because of this thread, hubby and I enjoyed a delicious breakfast at Rae Rae's this AM. Besides the good food, it's also a cute, CLEAN restaurant with a friendly atmosphere. We'll be returning.

Thanks to the OP for bringing it to our attention.

Wolfy's has been there for over 20 years. They burned down about three years ago and rebuilt to serve their staff and the community.

RaeRae's is South on Hwy 441/27 Almost into Fruitland Park on the West Side of the Road. Small Area with lots of businesses in the center. Just North of the Fruiltand Park Flea Market but on the others side of the road.

I have been up and down 441 and I haven't seen Rae Rae's Restaurant. Could someone give me an idea, of where it is loacted on 441 with a cross street?

I would like to try it. Sounds delicious. :icon_hungry:

See, that's the problem with the construction - they are so easy to miss. We're not in TV right now, so I can't give you exact directions, but look for the little white cottages on the southbound side of 441, between 466 and 466a. Its a strip mall looks like several little white cottages, and there is a spa company and a tax business as neighbors, so you can look for those signs. Rae Rae's is on the south end of the building. With the construction, it is very difficult to see the driveway, but you will be rewarded when you find it.

What business or landmark is close by? Something to key off of. These little places are hard to spot, esp. with the road being all torn up.

Thank you so very much. :smiley:

Looks like it is adjacent to the Cuventry Baptist Church. I look for the nex time I go south on 441.

It's tough to look for something, and keep your eyes on the stores, on the road at the same time. :smiley:

Left off 466A. Restaurant is on left in a little strip of white "cottage like" shops.

Based on these reviews DH and I went to lunch at Rae Rae's last week hoping to find some "home cooking" like collards and cornbread but, alas, all we found was very good sandwiches. I had a Reuben with home cooked brisket and real, honest to goodness, ala Five Guys, French fries! I suspect their breakfasts are very good but we'll have to continue going to Cracker Barrel for our beans-n-greens and cornbread!

Thanks guys, I have a much better idea of exactly where it is.

I also Googled it myself, DUH!!!!!

I will go there afer my next blood check for diabetes, as I probably won't be able to resist pancakes, etc. :smiley:

Wow ! They are letting the road acclimate???? Did the North bound side have to acclimate as well? What engineering formula is used to determine the acclimation time ? It is not like New England's freeze and thaw. HANG IN THERE RAY RAY!

It became so simple, too bad it took so long to have those little BLUE signs put up to ID the businesses there. Now Southbound drivers can tell who is where.

STILL need our help!
 
If you haven't been to Rae Rae's in Fruitland Park for breakfast or lunch, now's the time to try it! As our winter residents leave, we full-timers need to fill the void left by frequenting the local retaurants NOT in TV.

Construction along 27/441 is mostly complete. Rae Rae's opens at 7am daily (closed Mondays) and you won't find nicer folks than Tim, Cris and Brandon anywhere. Great eggs, pancakes, waffles and the most wonderful and creative sandwich offerings around.

Give it a try! You won't be sorry!

[QUOTE=BarryRX;745257]Some of you may have read the unanimous good reviews of Rae Rae's restaurant in Fruitland Park. As you can see by the hyperlink, this is a small family restaurant that opened some months ago. They were told that the construction on 441 would be complete by the summer, but due to some engineering setbacks, it will go on much longer. The construction is really hurting business. These folks are so very nice and could use our support. If you like great breakfasts and lunches, please just give them a try. Great service and great food and reasonable prices! .
