Trish,

Hellas Restaurant Tarpon Springs is a combination full service Bakery and full restaurant on the main street across from the Sponge Boats.

Outstanding authentic Greek Food at reasonable prices. Having been to Pappas and Hellas, I can assure you that Hellas is far superior. Give it a try next time you take a trip to Tarpon Springs.

The Freezer in Homasassa. Fantastic Shrimp.

When I go "off the reservation" I like Little Joeys just North of the Villages in Summerfield on 441 (on the left). Great Italian food, large portions and home made!

Harry's in Ocala, located downtown on the square. Try the chocolate bread pudding -- it's to die for!

I agree.

Good responses but to add my comments:

Gator Joe's is bar food for the most part - but good.

Goblin Market in Mt Dora is very good but very pricey.

Tapon Springs is a long drive as is Homasassa. If you go that far
you may as well drive to Gaylord Palms in Kisseemee for their buffet.
Just to walk their 4 acre atrium is worth the drive.

Alfie's Restaurant (352) 288-9771 11677 E Highway 25, Ocklawaha, FL
is noted for their Prime Rib but I have been disappointed. However they offer an extensive menu with many good items. People rave about the rib so maybe it's just me.

Thought of another - The Embers on 441 in Lessburg.

Somewhat pricey but not too bad.

Ruby St. Grille in Tavares....very casual, fun atmosphere. Check to see which type of live music is playing on website, according to your own taste. We have fun everytime we go.

We love Harry's in Ocala.

Tarpon springs is worth the ride if you like authentic Greek food. We like Mykonos which is on the left as you start down the street.

Ipanema in Ocala. Very special.
