Restaurants near Howey-in-the-Hills

“Great food and views of the lake”

“Took my Mom to a ladies luncheon at Nicker’s. Understand this was a cold, windy, wet day. The setting is beautiful with tall windows to watch the golfers (who were staying in to keep warm). The group was served quickly. The Mahi sandwich looked delicious. Mom had the quesadilla and was quite happy. I had more plans later, so got just the chicken tenders. We heard the Bang Bang Shrimp was enough for lunch and looked yummy.
The atmosphere would be more pleasant on a beautiful day, but was well worth it on a dreary Florida day.
I recommend putting the location in maps. My Mom tried to take me in lots of directions after the gates.😂”

“Great views, excellent service and food. Best Brussels sprouts I've ever had. Filet and sides were delicious. Ordered the Quilt cab, outstanding. Grand Marnier crème broulet was a wonderful ending.”

“Come visit! Fun place to hang out with family and friends!”

“Visited for the first time last night and really enjoyed ourselves. Somewhat limited menu for entrees, but an extensive lineup of proper Southern sides that made it hard to decide on just a few. Our solution for that was to pick a few for diinner, then get takeouts of several more. 🙂 Everything was delicious, with a special shoutout to the cook for the fried chicken. This is not fast food because they're cooking it up fresh and hot. Soooo good! The place is kind of small with not too many tables, but they also do takeout. From what we saw last night, they do quite a bit of takeout and so best to call ahead. The employees are very friendly, the food is great, and we'll be back!”

“Just had one of the best meals of my life . Christopher K . Was out waiter . Excellent service, amazing food , drinks mixed to perfection ! Great dining experience !!!”

“These cookies are ridiculously delicious!”

“The most wonderful food and staff !!!! Everything was excellent”

“excellent lunch today, the wifey had the salmon Caesar and I had the seared teriyaki salmon, we both had the Bueller sangria. Absolutely scrumptious”

“We had a Cob Salad with chicken, served in a large bowl, all of the fixings that go with a cob salad where on the bottom of the lettuce. My husband who ordered the same salad didn't get any bacon. , both salads had very tuff chicken. Very dissapointed for a meal that cost us $72.00 for salads. We did have chicken wings too, they where over cooked. We where with another couple and they said their meals where okay. All os us have been there before and the meals are always okay, but not great. We'll keep trying...”

“Such delicious homemade ice cream with unique flavors for adults and kiddos!!! Love the new location in Mount Dora FL. The gal that works there Gina was super kind, helpful and hospitable! Would 100% recommend”

“Our first time here last night for Jimmy Buffett day hosted by Rob Nicholas. Highly recommend this place. The food was amazing and our server was the best we have ever had. The owners Courtney and Steve treated us fantastic. They gave us special gifts for coming and were always around talking to everybody. They made us feel so welcome. Plus you can rent boats here and there is an Inn if u want to spend the night. We will definitely be back. Very worth the drive. Beautiful evening view as well to end the evening.”

“You gotta try them! Delicious!”

“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.”

“Nice assorted items.Lots of choices in jars too.”

“Excellent. Cuban sandwich was the best ever.”

“We've been going to Mary's semi-regularly for breakfast, for about 6 months now. It can't be topped. We finally went in the other day for a lunch..and got the burgers. Not gonna lie, that was the best burger I've had in 8 years of living in Florida! Mine, my wife's, and my son's were all perfection. My other son got the chicken tenders...he said they were fantastic. MUST TRY!!!”

“If you want authentic Vietnamese this is the real thing. Wonderful family run operation. Good for sit in and for take out.”

“10/10 I ordered the strawberry with the Dubai chocolate and OMG how delicious strawberries were fresh, they were super nice! Definitely will be coming back!”

“I live by the Orlando airport & this place is definitely worth the drive over!!”

“We were very impressed! We don’t have any photos because we devoured it all.
Everything was fresh and hot. Highly recommend the garlic Parmesan wings.
Everything was great; service, food, cleanliness.
Highly recommend for your wing night!”

“Best Birria tacos I have ever had! Great service and prices! Definitely one our new favorite spots!”

“The best cheesecake and cookies I have found since leaving Atlanta! I am not sure what kind of magical deliciousness they put in their cheesecake but, their Oreo cheesecake is 10/10. I will be back!

(Side note- it is bigger than pictured, I may have eaten some on the way home.)”

“It was so nice to be able to go to a restaurant and sit down and have a "normal" meal without being terrified of getting sick. It's really sad that there aren't more 100% gluten free restaurants around. This place did not disappoint! I will definitely make the 1+ hour drive again sometime. Thank you for existing!!”

“Willie's BBQ in Monteverde is the real deal.
Got the two-meat combo, ribs and chicken. The ribs? Phenomenal! Tender, full of flavor. Chicken was solid too, scrumptious! People are awesome, like eating at at relatives. Portions are generous, prices are fair, and you definitely won’t leave hungry. If you're in town and craving BBQ, Willie’s is a no-brainer. 😋🔥”

“My husband and I had dinner and had the sliders which were awesome. Amanda was our server and she was fantastic. Very knowledgeable about the menu and alcohol. We had an awesome time and will definitely be back.”

“Great shop! Bagels are delish!”

“Doug was the best tour guide around! Lakeridge has the best wine and staff. We enjoy going there for their great wine. Thank you.”

“Ordered a Sicilian Pizza and it was FANTASTIC! Definitely coming here again!”
