14 Best Southern Restaurants near Lake Mary

“Food is wonderful. I ordered online and picked up my order and it was great. However they lost my friend’s order and had to redo it all over making us wait and lose time. They need to work on accuracy but otherwise place was clean and well lit.“

“Tired of cooking? Can't cook? Then give Kookin' with Kim a try. You will be glad that you did! Reasonably priced. Hefty sized portions.“

“loved this cute little southern spot in sanford, beautiful scenery, restaurant is very cozy and nice, the service was amazing and the food was very affordable and big servings!! amazing spot definitely come here if you’re visiting the area.“

“I would recommend this place to anyone. I am looking forward to going back.“

“I love that this is a place where you just order at the counter and can dine in or take out. Our group dined in. This isn't a place that offers ambiance, but we knew that going into it. It's inside set up is analogous to many fast food restaurants. The wait to order was short and the food was prepared quickly. I got the Maple Bacon Chicken Biscuit and it was the perfect blend of sweet and savory with the chicken offering a nice kick of heat. The food tasted fresh and the maple syrup was real. Others in the group were satisfied with their meals, but remarked, nothing special. My only complaint is with regard to the mimosa I ordered. I'm wishing now I had taken a picture of it because it was a neon lemon color. In my life, I've never seen a bright neon yellow mimosa, and more importantly, it did not taste good. That aside the food was quite good, the service fast and the price reasonable. Nice Saturday morning breakfast!“

“The service from the front desk to the wait staff to the cashier and store personnel is always top notch! Our food is always hot and delicious and they are more than willing to accommodate any changes. Brad was our server Friday evening and he was fantastic! Always ready with a refill and checking on us. It's one of our favorite places to go!“

“once again food was great and Taylor took care of us like family. Thank you again and keep up the outstanding customer service and reason why I will continue to cone back whenever I'm in Florida“

“My group of friends meet every Wednesday at noon. The food portions can't be topped For a small business the menu is tremendous. Pam and Kathy are the Best.“

“Well the kitchen staff were not at the best Saturday night!!! I ordered the 8 fried shrimp with coleslaw and baked potato with only butter.. I got 7 shrimp, loaded potato and steamed broccoli. My husband had the same and only got 7 shrimp.. so count your shrimp if u order the shrimp dinner!!! Felt bad for our waitress..she did her best. The culinary manager came out later with our 2 shrimp..he looked irritated..!!
1/20/25
I got the 1/2 ribs and chicken tenders with baked potatoe. Really wasn't impressed..as they say their ribs are "fall off the bone" they were NOT..good sauce but very tuff!!! And the potatoe tasted OLD like it had been baked 2 days old..
The tenders were good..thank God for that..will never get the ribs again that's for sure!!!“

“We absolutely loved this restaurant! Friendly staff, great lighting, delicious and unique menu options and cocktails. Can’t wait to be back!“

“😍we had another great meal at Cracker Barrel Old Country Store The meat loaf is always a dependable choice which everyone enjoyed but I tried the pot roast and it was delicious. of course the biscuits were awesome and we ate too many but, oh so yummy.“

“So much fun! I can’t wait to come back again! Jay was a great guide“

“Food is great! But please tell me how do you expect patrons to throw their trash away? This is such a huge flaw in your dinning room.“
