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! I don't think the hyperlink is working, but you can copy it and paste it to your browser.

Always looking for a new place to eat. I'll have to check Google Earth since I'm not sure where it is. Thanks.

Love that place. go as many times as can. Great service and the food is really good.

I concur. I just saw a segment on Fox News about the negative impact the construction is having on the businesses in Fruitland Park. The owner of Rae Rae's said if business doesn't pick up they probably won't be able to stay in business until January. I can assure everyone the place as great food and tremendous breakfast. They are open for breakfast and lunch only. Give them a try and see for yourself. Let's help them as best we can.
Thank you.

I was there today 9:30 - 10:30, yes 1 hour. It was so busy that the cook could not keep up with the crowd. Not her fault. Kitchen is too small! Can only fit 1 person in there safely. I think the breakfast menu is too confusing. No need for NAMES. Offer pancakes, eggs as you like them, meat, potato, grits, coffee, toast, or biscuit & gravey. By offering different combinations of meat & veggies and then naming them, wow is that confusing to the cook. Nice restaurant, plesant enviornment, friendly folks, however it takes considerable time to order and be served. Will try again.

I'm glad to hear they were that busy. We've been there a couple times for breakfast and wasn't busy and we were 100% satisfied. The owner told me he inquired why the construction was taking longer than promised and was told they are letting the road acclimate. Something doesn't sound on the up and up to me from the county.

Seemed to always be a crowd in a small place, so we went up the road to "Wolfys"... comfort food place...great service -seems like it has been there for a looooong time.

Getting back to the purpose of this thread, don't forget that you have the option of enjoying their "great food" as well as helping them out on weekdays by ordering through Village Dining Delivery and avoiding the construction situation, and you can also use the service if you only have a golf cart to get around.

This place has great food, friendly staff and it would be a darn shame they would have to close due to the construction that has taken so long to complete. We had breakfast this morning and went home with full bellies and a smile!

[rdhdleo]

OMG we went to Rae Raes for the first time this morning! We were going to Wolfys (which we love) but it had a huge line extending outside and we didn't have a lot of time this morning so I said lets try Rae Raes as I had heard great reviews here! 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!
