Our server was attentive and on top of everything. We tried the pork ribs and the fried chicken. The chicken breast was juicy and so delicious. The ribs were perfectly tender and spiced just right. Oh and we both had the mac and cheese which I could eat every single day. But the most amazing stand out of the afternoon was the pork belly. We started with it as an appetizer and loved every morsel. So impressed with the diversity and choices that we have right here in Safety Harbor.

We're very careful with food allergies. The fried chicken was absolutely fabulous. Juicy on the inside and crunchy and tasty on the outside amazing. The mashed potatoes were homemade real potatoes, smooth and creamy, and the gravy was just delicious. The coleslaw was like a vinegar coleslaw, but it wasn't overly bitter. It was really really good. The carrots were roasted golden and delicious.. I wanted to try a dessert but I couldn't because I was soo full. Price was fair and adorable. It is a neighborhood favorite apparently and I can see why. I will be back because it was that Good! ( also I loved that it was served and beautiful plates.... It felt very homey and relaxing.

This place was an amazing spot to eat at in Disney Springs and had some of the best food I ate…read moreduring my trip in Florida. 4.5/5 We came pretty late to the establishment after a long day at the theme parks. We were staying at a Holiday Inn near Disney Springs so we decided to come here for a late dinner. One of the best decisions made here. We did a late night walk through the shopping center and landed here around 9:50 pm. It was pretty late and we worried there would be no seats but we were seated promptly. The establishment was very ambient, cozy, and well furnished. I liked the warm, glowing atmosphere of the restaurant. The server was extremely polite and took our order quite soon. We were starving after a long day but the food came out in around 20ish minutes which wasn't too bad. The serving sizes were quite huge. We didn't expect this much food for two portions. For $34 per plate, the dishes were large and came with a large helping of sides. The fried chicken was extremely crispy and juicy. They originally wanted to serve the food quickly/more fresh so they served a chicken thigh to me after on a second plate. They also forgot my substitution of Mac n cheese for mash potatoes so I got a free helping of mash which was sweet. The pickled cucumber was light and fresh which tasted great with the heavier chicken. The potatoes were a little heavy and I wish came with gravy, but still delicious. I really loved the Mac n cheese and finished that up. The chicken steak was also delicious with the grits but a little too salty. Wish they added the grits to the side for me to dip as it became a little too much at times. It was better to eat it with a side of potatoes to balance the flavor. The broccolini was sautéed perfectly and delicious, could eat a whole plate of those alone. The biscuits weren't bad but tasted better eaten with the potatoes. The food was a little heavy but so so good. We had to take half of the food to our hotel and ate it the next day for dinner as it was way too much food for one meal. Even after microwaving it, the food was just as delicious and flavorful. We spent about $80 but had so much food leftover. An expensive dinner, but everything tasted amazing. Would definitely come back if I had the chance.

I enjoy their country cooking but, the chicken had a funny taste and was the dryest I have ever had. The catfish was extremely good. The buffet was full of veggies, their signature dishes. Some looked over cooked, considering it was only 12:30 p.m. When I got to the car I asked my husband much the bill was. It came to $56.00 tip included with one drink. The charge was $22.99 a dinner not including drink. I was in shock. It was around $15.99 the last time we ate there. I can have a steak dinner at a nice restaurant for $24. It will the last time we eat there.

Actually our very first time here we couldn't get a seat because it it that popular. I love their chicken and dumpling soup. This is THE definition of comfort for to me. It tastes like a quality chicken pot pie with actual goodies, none of this whole farmland of potatoes, carrot, and peas plus some broth and butter and a shred of chicken tail and calling it a "chicken soup." This was a hearty soup with chunks of white meat chicken and soft dumplings. Basically chicken dumpling soup as they say, vs potatoes cube soup. It is a must have. I really did myself a disservice and only got a cup.... on my own vacation after working throughout the entire pandemic on-site. The gulf shrimp platter (I got blackened) absolutely delicious. I love the Bourbon Sriracha sauce and used it as a dipping sauce for my fries. You can also never go wrong with hearty mashed potatoes and their gravy. My fiance got some brisket pork combo (in the entrees section) plus mac and cheese side... so good!! This is a must go to place, and the staff are super pleasant. Zero complaints from me!

I couldn't resist the offer of lightly battered fried chicken livers AND a two piece fried chicken platter w two sides. The livers were very good- right out of the fryer and not heavily battered. I don't know why but it was served with a side of mild buffalo sauce. You could also dab it in some of their homemade BBQ sauces. The dark meat fried chicken was also very good- lightly battered and right out of the fryer. I chose collards and mashed potatoes w gravy. The greens were tender and very tasty. The mashed potatoes were also good. The sides and a square of sweet cornbread rounded out the southern comfort food platter. Beer and wine is served along with sweet teas and soda. The servers were friendly but were slammed going table to table. I thought about a slice of the frozen peanut butter pie to go but bailed on it. My meal was very good. This is the spot where the locals eat.

It's a small spot with only four tables and three seats at a little bar, but don't let the size fool you--the food is delicious! You get an entrée with your choice of mashed potatoes or rice, plus two sides. I had the fried pork chops with mashed potatoes, okra and tomatoes, and a vegetable medley. Everything was delicious and did not disappoint! My husband had the fried chicken with rice, mac & cheese, and corn, and he said it was excellent. And the sweet tea? Five stars! If you're in the Dunnellon area and looking for some good, down-home food, I highly recommend giving Southern Palate a try. Definitely worth checking out!
