“Had been a while, maybe a couple of years, since I'd been, but I definitely won't make that mistake again. Every single thing ordered was on point. Sleepy little gem in Sanford serving elevated takes on Southern favorites. Came for a late dinner (9 p.m.) and ordered our way through small plates tapas style. Every single thing was lovingly and expertly prepared. One incredible standout was the Tomato Mac. When it was brought to the table, I thought it looked like it would be a little bland and watery, but OMG, the flavors and texture in this dish were incredible - a sweet and savory delight. Another standout was the chicken liver mousse. Chef's kiss! Also worked our way through hoecakes and the sticky ribs - the meat of which just fell off the bone. They were expertly trimmed and the Asian inspired glaze was to die for. Also sampled the cheddar jalapeno biscuits and the mushroom angolotti - all delicious. For dessert (all made in house), the cornmeal pie was to die for. Also had the smoked salted caramel ice cream, which was quite unique and inventive, as were the biscuits and chocolate "gravy."Even though the staff and kitchen were surely ready to wind down close to closing, we received excellent and gracious service and everything continued to be executed with great care and skill.I will definitely be sure to visit much more often! Compliments to the owners and staff!“

“KATIE WAS AMAZING!!! We have been to Cracker Barrel before and it’s always been good. This time we had the opportunity of having Katie as our server and she was the most amazing, bubble, nice , waitress we could have asked for. She provided recommendations, kept our drinks full, and most importantly always smiled! Thank you Katie for making our day.“

“We had the beet salad and the pork belly appetizers followed by the espresso crème brûlée. Everything was outstanding. Our server Dylan was very attentive and knowledgeable about the food and wine we ordered. We came at 5 and were sorry we hadn't requested a table in the bar area, bc we were in the front room with four tables and we were the only ones for 45 minutes. We enjoy quiet, but we enjoy being with other diners. We will be back! Lots of things we'd like to try on the menu.“

“Very few items were non dairy. The green beans had been delicious on a previous visit but this time they were so hard no one ate them.Dietary restrictions: A dairy free menu would be helpful, especially for the poor waitress who had to run to the chef with our questions.“

“We recently went to the Cracker Barrel in Altamonte Springs. It didn’t disappoint. We had a roast beef dinner with Peach Cobbler and a Chocolate cake for dessert. Great food! The waiter was very friendly and came to us often asking if we wanted anything else or if he could do anything for us. It was a great experience and will do it again soon.“

“We recently visited The Townhouse Restaurant in Oviedo and were really impressed. It's a great spot with a clean and comfortable vibe, perfect for a relaxed meal, be it breakfast, lunch or dinner. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating, and they can accommodate fairly large groups.The service was excellent. Our server, Rihanna, was super attentive and friendly, making sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. Refills on the sodas were free.The food was delicious! While they offer a wide variety of Greek dishes, including my fantastic Traditional Greek Gyro (the meat was juicy and not dry at all!), there are also many other alternatives on the menu. My wife loved her Greek Village Omelette, but they also have plenty of non-Greek options to choose from. Plus, the fries were on point – crispy and fresh-tasting, not greasy.Overall, The Townhouse Restaurant is a solid choice for casual dining in Oviedo. The food is good, the service is friendly, and the atmosphere is relaxed. Plus, it seems like it could accommodate larger groups with its spacious seating options. No matter your taste, they likely have something for you! I'd definitely recommend checking it out!Parking: Plenty of free parking.“

“This is one of my favorite places. Everything I've tried is always good. Last time I went it was during lunch on a weekday, I placed a mobile order and came when it said it was going to be ready and still had to wait an additional 10 minutes. So just plan ahead if you are un a rush because they were PACKED.“
