50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Fruitland Park

“Out of town visitors, noticing a parking lot full of cars was a calling for us to stop. We were not disappointed the restaurant was full of charm and wonderful aroma. We were lucky enough to sit at the bar with locals and have the best female bartender! Forgot to mention…the pizza was amazingly good!“

“We dined there this evening. Wonderful food and very friendly people. They smoke their own meats with Black Jack wood and it is outstanding. Their sides are wonderful, just like mama meant them to be. There are other menu items besides BBQ, but that is their mainstay. The atmosphere is like home, very comfortable, and very positive signs in the restaurant dining area. These are very down-home people who know how to make your tummy happy. Super good place. Best BBQ anywhere around. We are from Texas originally where BBQ is king. This is better.“

“We have been going to Los Reyes for taco Tuesday for past few weeks. The hard shells are not ordinary corn shell. They are just great. My husband loves enchiladas; he says these are done if the best he has tasted!! Give the new Fruitland Park location a try.“

“Tatiana was our waitress and she was awesome. Super helpful made great recommendations. Gave service with a smile. Also enjoyed lady at front desk nice greeting a smile as we came I and as we were leaving. Error in food was not that bad. A+ on the spinach crab dip loved it so much. We got some to go to have tomorrow at home. One in our group said the chicken sandwich is smaller than what she’s had there in the past but still was delicious. Shrimp was good after we got our original order the guest said delicious in fact. Muffalatta sandwich bun was cold. The inside of the sandwich was so cold. It was cold in the middle. with thin thin slice of ice in the middle of the sandwich coming from Louisiana that one disappointed Me. It had all of the right taste in the sandwich.“

“Server was Tiana. Great service. Breakfast was the worst. They don't offer hashbrowns. Home ? our small frozen dehydrated potatoes, then fried. Biscuit and gravy, the worst ever. Pancakes great. At 940am 10 tables ONE (1) server. Really bad.“

“The Polish deli here in Leesburg is awesome. The ladies that sell the products are very nice and the food is delicious. Love this place...“

“food poisoning? I ate the fishermans platter on October 10th and got very sick. Has anyone else experience this?“

“Qs a widow I tend to do take-out far more often than going into a restaurant for a meal. I LOVE Outback for take-out because it is easy, quick and the food is just as good as it is sitting in the restaurant. I don't always order the same menu item so I've had MANY of the offerings and have NOT been disappointed!“

“Such a delightful small town diner. Food was delicious and staff was very accommodating.“

“We were surprised at how good this restaurant was! Large selection of food choices,and the Shepherds Pie was delicious! The fried shrimp were huge butterfly shrimp with a light tasty batter. The homemade cakes and pies were amazing.“

“Love this place. Highly recommend!“

“HIGHLY recommend Valerie for coordinating & catering weddings. She came through BIG TIME for our wedding. She had to drive an hour to get water goblets the day of our wedding bc I told her I wanted them. She did what it took to make the most beautiful wedding. Food was amazing and she took my vision and brought it to life. Exceeded my expectations!!!!!“

“The ice cream mixture is sooo good!“

“This a great place for extra healthy food and it's thumbs up yummy!.“

“Beer was good. Service was spectacular.“

“Although I do like Toojays, I was quite surprised to eat there the other day with a new menu. I always go and get the stuffed cabbage which was so yummy. It has been taken off the menu. I went there yesterday specifically for them. Not sure how often I will go back now. Very disappointed!! Please bring them back!!“

“Precisely how I feel when I discover there actually is a phenomenal plant based food and drink establishment in The Villages!!!! 🙌🏼 Had another fabulous meal and some lovely Peppermint Lavender kombucha. We also met some great folks from the Plant based club here in TV as well. Mele Kalikimaka form Leahi Health The Villages! May you end this year with love and gratitude in your heart and usher 2026 in with good friends and good health! 🏝️ ❤️“

“Best bakery in the area! Incredible pastries… just melt in your mouth & baguettes are fantastic too“

“Me and my wife had an awesome experience last night ! The food was great we both had the fish and chips and the baklava was to die for ! Our waitress name was Jessica she delivered excellent service . We had a wonderful time we will definitely be back !“

“Always excellent Service, Food and Price.\nHad the eggs and hash with potatoes and whole wheat toast along with a hit cup of tea.\nDon't know where these reviewers with the negative reviews go for their breakfasts because I, along with hundreds of others, enjoy the fantastic breakfasts at Billy's Cafe“

“We went to the Fiests Grande restaurant today (2-1-25). Somebody told the manager that my husband was stealing a cup that was on another table. My husband saw the cup and was showing me how cool it was (we are seniors and if my husband liked a cup that he saw he would have asked our server if the restaurant sold them, we do not have to steal. Nor were we dressed poorly.) So, the manager came over to us, and demanded to look in my husband's bag. I felt so bad for my husband! The look on his face! He was mortified! She did not find a cup, because my husband did not take anything. She embarrassed my husband and me in front of everyone. I approched the manager and told her she was out of line and she told me she had to protect her customers...well, my husband and I were also her customers, she didn't protect us from public humiliation! She also told me " I am Mexican, I know how it feels. I don't know what she meant by that. We will never visit that restaurant again, and probably won't go to Mt. Dora again either! Needless to say, our beautiful day was ruined.“

“Great place to meet friends for lunch, dinner or drinks. Fridays fish dinner is the best in town. Everything on the menu is wonderful.“

“Great lunch spot. Good. But not overwhelming selection. Some great sides to choose from. All homemade. I had cranberry jello salad and my friend had the potato salad with chicken and tuna sandwiches. Next time im just going to order the sides.....maybe they should add a veggie/side plate.“

“Met friends there for lunch. Do not waste your time and money...my opinion....some thought it was ok.... crowded, disorganized, no place to sit, food ordered at the register, no staff, slow operation very slow food "handed out." So called garden area dirty with critters dropping from trees. Reuben lunch in the garbage.“

“food & drinks are fantastic, great outdoor atmosphere, prices are great too, enjoy 😉“

“Love this place! Excellent drinks, the staff is super friendly and the food is wonderful. We try to order something different every time we come here. I have never had a bad meal at this place. And it makes me want to come back for more! The Texas burrito is only $23 and it is enormous and could feed you for 2 to 3 days.“

“5+ stars to the City Fire restaurant and the amazing HOPE for a fantastic experience and great food. Our 14 year old Akita Wishy was warmly greeted and invited to join us at one of the outdoor patio tables. Hope was SO great with Wishy -- lots of water refills -- and finding out Hope loves dogs and that City Fire is so dog friendly just made our visit that much better. Oh and the French Dip and Burger we ordered were great -- and the Bourbon Sour -- perfect! We'll bring Wishy back for more fun soon -- and we'll be requesting one of Hope's tables for sure!“

“This is my absolute favorite sushi place. The service is always wonderful and the food is phenomenal. I couldn’t recommend it enough!“

“I'm picky about my fried shrimp and it was excellent. The slaw, potato salad, and half and half tea were good also. Beautiful day to sit outside and have some lunch for a reasonable price. Christine waited on me and she was the best.“

“this place is so yummy, best tacos ever“

“I know, I know, no one expects good food at a food court. I’m a huge lover of gyros. We were in the mall and I had a chance to get one so of course I did.
The gyro meat was more flavorful than most. Very nice crispy edges. I literally saw the pita come out of a pack and onto the grill, and I don’t expect hand made breads at the mall. But whatever brand or source it was from was terrific. The texture was spot on, not too heavy, with perfect browning from the grill.

I’ve been to full on sit-down gyro restaurants that weren’t this satisfying to eat.

The gentleman was upbeat, helpful and engaging. A very nice encounter.

I’d absolutely eat there again next time I’m near by.“

“This was my first time at this establishment. It's a very upscale restaurant. The service was exceptional. There was always someone coming by our table to check that everything was all right. I had the grouper with crabmeat & it was delicious. I would recommend making reservations to prevent having to wait 30-40 minutes for a table. If you're in the area, please give ot a try. You won't be disappointed.“

“This was my family's first time at Takis. The food was excellent and our server name Christine was really awesome we will be back.“

“Always excellent food ,great atmosphere , timely and friendly service“

“Tonight the back of house has made our day by their dancing and singing put smiles on lots of faces, It was so awesome to see these hard workers having a good time with the guest. Great job kitchen!“

“This comment is regarding Mark at Store 8546. My wife and I have been going to this location for the last 4 years. It is the only pizza place that we go to. The service from Mark is professional but also very friendly and welcoming. He walks to our table to check on us to see how we are enjoying our order. He shares his humor with interesting and fun stories. Mark is a great manager.“

“Never had a meal there that I did not thoroughly enjoy!!! Jen is a jewel!“

“buen cervicio delicioso la comida gracias“

“Darrell's Diner is a good spot for a quick meal if you are in a bit of a rush. You are greeted with a smile from the very moment that you enter the door and seated like a gentle warm summer breeze. My waitress Ali catered to my every need and was very attentive to helping out a lost soul such as mine around the menu. My experience by far enjoyable and stress free. This is my recommended for great service and wonderful staff“

“Outstanding meals and tremendous service delivered by the best server, Maykala, on Monday evening. We will return! Burgers were amazing.“

“Great food and two for one cocktails, also great entertainment!!“

“Love it here! Grits are amazing!!!“

“Great pizza.“
