What a wonderful find. This is truly a must-see place. Not only do they serve delicious food but they offer 3 amazing stores. Plus, they have a small garden store to buy things as well. You have the opportunity to sit inside in two different areas or out on their back porch to have your lunch. We sat out back and had a friend visit us LOL for lunch. The wonderful Florida gator.

This place is so adorable. We got there early. I didn't get his name might have been the owner. He was so kind and friendly, he gave us a tour of the restaurant Mahalo (Thank you). So we went to the gift shop, and other stores there. It was still early so we got some drinks. Me & my daughter got the Dubai ice coffee so ono (delicious) and it was so reasonably priced. Everything was reasonably priced. My granddaughter got a soda free refills. Machine was down but they brought her can soda and you could get more if needed. 1. You get your menu put your name on sticky note & # of your table. 2. You fill your basket up with soup, sides salad, sandwich dessert Or sandwich + 1 side Or sandwich + 2 sides 3. Take your menu to the counter to pay. The service was excellent. The owner walked around

This place is an absolute Hidden Gem it must be protected at all costs keep it secret keep it safe the Ambiance atmosphere Elegance elaboration of this venue is astronomical. The food is divine and getting to meet Drew and his family and hear the story of their lineage was truly special and wish to share it with the world. This is a must visit location for a unique old school very affordable family food experience that has been lost to time most everywhere else.

My wife found this place ink Instagram and suggested we check it out. The restaurant is nestled in an antiques and crafts shop. It has plenty of seating, both inside and outside. The menu is basic, but very good. You're not going to spend a lot, but you'll not go home hungry either. The food is brought to you in little picnic boxes, which was different but cute. We'll definitely be back as we lived the ambiance and the peacefulness of the setting.

I’ve been eyeballing this place since I saw a video about it online. On my recent trip to Florida, this was a must do. Let me tell you, it was so worth it! Everything from the staff to the food and down to the pricing was nothing short of perfection. Everyone was kind, welcoming and talked to you as if you’d been friends for years. The food was delicious, home made, and fresh. The restaurant itself is on the most gorgeous property, and you can sit overlooking a little lake. I hope to visit again on my next trip. Until then, I’ll be jealous of those who are close by and able to frequent this lovely restaurant.
