I always pass this place on my way to work and decided to Stop in here for a quick lunch. I ordered…read morethe chicken Parm sandwich and some garlic knots. The sandwich tasted very fresh and I loved the bread. They had a texture of a baguette and focaccia bread. The chicken was a nice size inside with tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese. The chicken would have been even better if it was crispy on the outside. It was really soft. I noticed that they have lunch specials and to follow them on Facebook for dinner specials too! They sell pizza and other cold and hot sandwiches. I ordered my sandwich over the phone and it was ready within 15 minutes! The inside is very basic with a few tables to eat they even have an outside area too. But overall nice place for a quick lunch.

As we started on our RV trip to the Carolinas and Tennessee we had a massive water leak in the…read morekitchen area. So we had no water at all! It was getting late and we were really hungry and with the RV and Freckles we needed a safe place to stop and get dinner. So I saw Cracker Barrel from 1-75 in Lake City. It was late and we were warmly greeted by all the staff. They have special RV parking too. Sherry was our waitress and the twins (Dave and I ) ordered the Campfire Chicken. One half of a chicken, little potatoes, carrots, and cherry tomatoes in a natural delicious gravy. It was wrapped in heavy aluminum foil. We also got two cornbread rolls and two biscuits with butter. What a deal for $15.99 each! We demolished mostly everything but I saved the carrots for Freckles. She was pretty upset today with all the thunderstorms and us traveling. Sherry brought me a to go coffee too! How sweet is that! So if you are in the area stop in for some good southern cooking!

I waited about 6 minutes just to be greeted…read moreand seated, despite there being only 6 patrons in the restaurant, so it clearly wasn't an issue of being overwhelmed with customers. Unfortunately, the service didn't improve much from there. The food that was served was incorrect, and the overall cleanliness could use attention as well--the windows were noticeably dirty. There's definitely room for improvement in the areas of customer service, order accuracy, and cleanliness. Hopefully this was just an off day, but based on my experience, I expected better.

I was driving family for their annual Florida winter bird trip, when we decided to stop for a…read morebreak. I loved Bob Evans' meals from when I was a kid, and I had a hankering for breakfast food while making a pit stop. We initially were greeted by Jay at the front, seated and the team helped with drink orders since we were hectic and couldn't decide on anything before everyone got a chance to "freshen up". Mary Jo was our server, patient and friendly, took her time with us since she could tell we were not locals. My parents are usually predictable but this place was kind of new to them. I ordered a breakfast omelette with loaded hash browns and pancakes. My elderly parents (both over 80) used the specials menu, it was like going 40 years back in time, when meals were $9.99! mother got the hamburger steak, my father the fish and chips. Both were very happy with the amount of food, along with the sides. Mary Jo brought out biscuits which are my absolute favorite but I specifically didn't get sausage gravy because we still had a long way to drive and I needed to be alert. Man, just perfect execution on it all. The cooks nailed our humble order, everything coming out piping hot, all timed together, everyone dug in and we almost finished it all. Took a couple biscuits with butter that Mary Jo gave us, and I packed my pancakes without syrup since I'm a Type 2 diabetic. Didn't matter bc the pancakes were so light and fluffy. As I paid the bill up front, you still are there back in time, seeing candy for sale that hasn't been prominently around for years, NECCO wafers, Giant Tootsie Rolls, Chunky candy bars. Brought back a flood of childhood memories when things were simpler. Bob Evans is like a beacon, giving you good food when you need it, great service all the way, and Jay who rang me up at the end was very kind- listening to my ramblings about how NECCO used to be in Boston but was bought by Spangler in Ohio. Mary Jo provided my father and I our drinks to go, his an unsweetened tea and me a Coke Zero. Really nice touch since I needed that boost to finish the 500 mile drive. A blast from the past but exactly what we needed at the moment. The memories I had while there eating were real, and I'm happy we chose to stop here. On the way back you can bet I'm gonna try to stop again! Thanks to the team for keeping us fed, awake, and caffeinated for our drive.

Mary Jo did a great job serving me…read more I've never been to a Bob Evans before and when I open the menu, I was very afraid of not finding anything healthy to eat. I saw a list of salads and I had the strawberry pecan salad with chicken and it was really good.

Skipped morning coffee for annual lab work. Found Canal Coffee right up the road, GREAT FIND!…read moreI am not a coffee connoisseur, I like smooth coffee not the burnt beans you get most places. I had a hot Salted Carmel latte, egg bites & slice of lemon pound cake. Everything was delicious! Much better than the "others" and the pricing was fair $16. My sister agreed, we will be back! The egg bites (2) were better than what I make at home, lemon pound cake was fresh as well. Definitely worth the stop!

Thank you YELP! yet again for helping me find a fantastic joint…read more Went in on a Tuesday night. Parked right across the street in a public lot. Short walk to Halpatter's. Not many tables in the bar area so... we sat right at the bar. The bartender had all kinds of attitude... in the BEST way possible. It was awesome. We started with 12 wings tossed in their buffalo sauce. They were excellent - and this coming from a wing snob. The blue cheese was very good - thick and chunky. For the main course, I got the fish and chips with an extra piece of fish. The fish was great. Fries were above average. They had music bingo (maybe a Tuesday thing?) - that was a bit much but c'est la vie. There was one dude shouting out every song and singer. My guy, get a hobby! lol Highly Recommend! If I lived in that area, I would be a regular!

Especially, the abundance of free parking in downtown Lake City. The Friday night I was there, there was music bingo and a live band. They have live music every Friday and Saturday at the outside stage. Monday is game night. Tuesday is Trivia. Wednesday they have line dancing, including classes for like $5. Thursday is Karaoke!!!! They have a "Culture of Generosity" where you can buy a beer forward. I actually got to be the recipient of one of those free beers. And of course, I paid it forward. The BEER: Seymour-Finnegan's Irish Red Ale 5.7%... smooth slightly sweet great tasting all day crushable goodness Hop Culture IPA 6.5% ABV... looks like a hazy, tastes like a west coast, definitely high in IBUs, has fruity pine nose, good if you love your IPAs extra piney, so very hop forward Pickle Sour 4.5% ABV... oh he11 yummm, I absolutely love this pickle sour. Soooo very good! Rum soaked oak barrel aged Big Hal 7% ABV... there was something I really liked about this. It is a brown ale with a whole bunch of personality Don't have the words though. Big Hal brown ale 6 8% ABV... now I know what I liked about the Rum Soaked Barrel Aged Big Hal this is an all day drinkable brown ale. LOVED IT! I can honestly say I found some fantastic Beer in Lake City, FL. What a wonderful way to spend a Friday evening.
