Restaurants in Okeechobee

“Ate at this food truck last time we were here at Christmas & enjoyed it so much we sought it out while here on our Spring Break. Had taco dinners, 1 pork, 1 steak, & both were great. Also enjoyed my pineapple agua fresca drink. A lot of interesting menu items, very authentic, great service. Worth the shortish wait for fresh prepared food. Fresh tortillas were delicious. Inexpensive for what you get. Go and try!”

“First time going here, and they have been in town for 2 years! I can't believe we didn't know about it before! The food was fresh and healthy, and they had generous portions. My new go-to in town!”

“Love this place! Great food, family atmosphere, always busy on the weekends but the wait is never too long. Highly recommend you give it a try.Parking: Can be iffy because it's always busy, but it's a plaza so park further away and you'll figure it out.”

“We drive to/from St Pete to Palm Beach often, grabbed a to go pulled pork sandwich just a bit ago to eat in the car…some of the best bbq we’ve ever had, delish, and loved the. Cole slaw!!! We’ll be back and refer family/friends, great service as well!!!!”

“Great food, Great Service, and the Prices are very Reasonable! Will definitely be going back soon!Kid-friendliness: Kids can look at airplanes and watch them take off!”

“Amazing place, must try. Typical southern side of the road fish house, food is fresh and delicious. The gator was probably caught from the lake the day we ate it! Definitely worth the drive and even with the hours worth waiting until they are open to go.”

“Loved this place! I went when I was younger, like 10 years ago and it is nothing like it used to be, which is a great thing! Its a cute little place to stop in and get the best bite to eat with the family. The waitresses are amazing! And you can try anything on the menu and it will make you leave with a smile!”

“Cute mom & pop with awesome food. I had the special: pulled pork sandwich combo with Hans cut fries & unsweetened tea. Hubby had philly cheesesteak. Both were hot & excellent.”

“Non-chain, small cafe with excellent food. Portions aren't outrageously large, but we still had leftovers. Good, southern style soul food. Fried chicken was tender & juicy with a crispy skin. Save room for dessert or get it to go.”

“First time stopping here for lunch. It's kind of a dark, dingy dive place for lunch, but it would probably be a fun place for a night out. The service was fast and the waitress was very polite with an excellent suggestion for the French dip special. Frys are fantastic. Could have had just them alone!Parking: Almost no lunch crowd, so we were able to park right out front.”

“When in Okeechobee showing homes, Lightsey's is the perfect lunch/dinner spot to bring your friends. Fried gator was tender and delicious. Hush puppies are the best I've ever had. Cobia is always fresh. Service was impeccable. This is Florida's finest right here. They definitely got the FOODS! I've been to the new location in Jensen Beach as well and it is just as good.”

“This was our first time eating here. The cafe is absolutely adorable and the ladies working were super friendly. The food was very good and fresh. We were served in a very timely manner. There is a little corner of the place with refurbished furniture for sale. Every item was beautifully done. I would definitely recommend trying this place.”
