    Awesome place to set and eat breakfast and enjoy the water front. Breakfast they serve is over the top with there homemade biscuits, Gravy Eggs, County ham and sausage. Decorated really nice with a gift shop right attached to the restaurant. If you want good pizza just across the driveway is the Monkey Bar with the pizza of your liking!

    Chicken Sandwich

    Came here for lunch with a friend.. parking is a little strange, no parking close to the Restaurant, you have to park behind on gravel..very welcoming when you come inside, there is a little gift shop with branded merchandise and more...this place is Cash only too...it is very homey feeling and a comfortable atmosphere inside. Very nice server, ordered drinks and she gave us time to look over menu..no straws with drinks since they are by the water...ordered lunch, my friend ordered a Breakfast Burrito and liked it, I ordered a Shrimp Basket and it tasted like someone dumped the whole container of salt in the batter, I had my friend try one in case I was mistaken and she agreed...no way...let the waitress know and she gladly replaced it for me, ordered. a Chicken sandwich instead, it was o.k. service was prompt and friendly, food was o.k. would make this a regular place to visit? Probably not but they have a nice variety of Breakfast items for you to choose from for a hot meal if you are in the area...

    The Florida Cracker Kitchen is our go to breakfast place when vacationing in Homosassa, Florida. We've had just about everything on the breakfast menu and honestly you can't go wrong with any dish. Their French toast, skillet potatoes and sausage are really good. The portions are huge so if you go away hungry, it's your own fault. The wait staff are always friendly and fast. The atmosphere is Old Homosassa fishing. I love it here.

    On a recent girls trip, we ended up stopping in to Florida Cracker Kitchen for breakfast. We were seated quickly and our waitress was promptly available to obtain our drink orders. She (waitress) was great. Seeing that we were on a birthday girls trip, I inquired about "adult beverages". She informed us that their liquor license was coming soon but not in place yet (this was in May of 2022). She suggested we walk across the street to the bar and purchase drinks to bring back. Needless to say, that's exactly what we did while the kitchen was preparing our breakfast. While I personally was on a liquid diet, everyone else enjoyed their meals. I will absolutely be back! Great food and friendly service. There is also a gift shop adjacent to the restaurant and has tons of t-shirts, sunscreen, sunglasses, and Florida souvenir's.

    Review by My Out n About - Robert and Sheila Henley FB - https://www.facebook.com/groups/myoutnabout Bar 1609 of 1800 different bars Name: Florida Cracker Kitchen Location: Homosassa, FL Date: 03/28/24 Overall Rating (1-10) 4 Description: Very popular complex, with a hotel, bar, kitchen, marina, etc. The kitchen side has Bloody Mary's, beer, etc. CASH ONLY We went for breakfast. When we entered the restaurant, we should have known how it was going to be. The music was very load for 7:00 in the morning. The waitress started to seat us under one of the speakers so I asked to be seated somewhere else. Even moving as far away as possible, it was hard talking with each other. Sheila had the cinnamon roll they brag about on their menu. I had their FCK French Toast. The Cinnamon Roll was about the worst there is. It was hard and dry. However, It was large as advertised, but I strongly do not recommend it. The French toast was almost equally as bad. All I could taste was cinnamon. It was also very dry, I'm not sure there was any egg applied. Also, not recommended. R&S Rating Scale (1-10) 5 meets expectations Atmosphere - 5 Food Price - Cinnamon Roll $4.75, French Toast $9.99 Food Quality- 1 Liquor - yes - Bloody Mary, Mimosa, etc. Beer - yes Wine - yes Drink Price - Bloody Mary $8.00 Drink Quality- 5 Music - Canned and VERY load for breakfast. I love R&R but not at 7:00AM and load. Cleanliness- 8 Fun - 2 Staff - 7 Good Service Purse Hangers- NA Non Smoking Restrooms - 8

    10,000 Island Shrimp and Grits!! Unique and delicious!!
    Cheryl P.

    I have been wanting to go to Florida Cracker Kitchen for such a long time but rarely was in Brooksville to go so imagine my surprise and delight when I heard they opened a Florida Cracker Kitchen in Old Homosassa!! Located in the Resort Complex called Florida Cracker Riverside Resort near the Monkey Bar - aptly named because of a little island where monkeys live and you can eat and have some drinks watching their antics! Florida Cracker Kitchen is right across the parking lot with a little souvenir store in front with Florida Cracker Kitchen clothing and products you can buy. Enter through the gift shop's back door into the restaurant. The restaurant has old country decor with booths on the sides and tables dispersed throughout. Small but cozy and very busy when we were there. Our waitress was a sweet young lady who took care of us very well, brought our drinks right away. Unsweetened Ice tea was good with a few slices of lemon. My husband and brother ordered the same plate Country Fried Steak with gravy, two eggs over easy, home fries with toast. They both said that Florida Cracker Kitchen's sausage gravy was the BEST gravy they've ever had and believe me when I said they have eaten their weight in sausage gravy! I opted for something unique on their menu that tweaked my interest. I ordered their version of Shrimp and Grits called 10,000 Island Shrimp and Grits. Generous portion of fresh shrimp served with their tomato gravy and bacon served over a fried Grits cake. I've never seen or tasted a dish like this anywhere else. The overall flavor of the shrimp and gravy was delicious. It reminded me of a stewed tomato dish with extra flavors especially with chopped up bacon mixed throughout. The grit cake was a triangle shaped fried cake of Grits. It was good and paired well with the gravy. The portion was nice sized but I'm a Grits girl especially with lots of butter and cheese. While the dish was very good it didn't give me my Grits "fix". It's great for those wanting something different and may just convert those who don't like Grits to loving them. Next time I want to try their 10,000 Island Shrimp with regular Grits which my waitress said is also an option!! So happy!! A very solid restaurant for good Florida Cracker homestyle cooking and a very welcome addition to our town. We definitely will be repeat customers and will stop and watch the monkeys from time to time!!

    Homemade cinnamon rolls

    Great little spot right on the river. Very friendly staff. Delicious reasonably priced breakfast foods. The restaurant and the whole resort area are immaculately clean.

    Chicken and Waffle, Chicken Fried Steak, and Ponte Verda salad.
    Lorena C.

    Wow! What a gem! The food and the service were above and beyond our expectations! Our group ordered the Chicken Fried Steak, Chicken and Waffle and Ponte Verda Salad. All three were delicious. Looking forward to our return.

    Grilled breakfast sandwich
    Erica P.

    Service was friendly. Cash only. Manager was also friendly. Our breakfast was just ok, if you are staying at the resort it's a convenient spot. I had the grilled breakfast sandwich with potatoes. The inside is nice and clean, booth seating.

    Menu of lunch
    Nicole H.

    It might be a smaller menu but everything on it that we have tried is really good... The Ponte Vedra salad is one of my favorites but today I tried their catfish... Very good catfish and the collard greens were so good. Did you know that you could buy their fresh baked loaves of bread to go? A lot of people don't know that. Anyway you won't be disappointed they have the best breakfast as well!!!

    Corned Beef Hash!  The Best!
    Sandman C.

    This place is the best! I can't wait to get back there. Staff is amazing, very welcoming and friendly. The food is amazing. The best corned beef and hash that I have ever had in my lifetime...so good that I purchased 3 side orders to bring home and freeze for another time. The brisket sandwich was great too! Fair prices, and large portions...almost to much! A must try if you are in the area! I wish they did dinner as well however, it is a breakfast and lunch place.

    We went to Kim's for breakfast when my brother came to visit and said he was starving…read more Kim's Cafe is still in the same strip plaza since we moved here in 2005 and maybe longer. Outside remains the same with limited seating but we prefer eating inside. Even though it was busy we found a table right away. Our waitress came over and took our drink orders and left us to look over their menu per our request. The guys were very interested in one of their breakfast specials and ended up ordering it. Called a Tot Bowl the dish had tater tots, sausage, bacon,tomatoes, mushrooms, peppers and onion and American Cheese with Sausage Gravy and two eggs. Two pieces of toast of your choice is included - both chose Rye toast which they loved. Only difference between the two plates were how their eggs were cooked. My Hubby loves over easy eggs while my brother prefers scrambled. They both stated that they loved their breakfast with my brother commenting next time he visits he would love to go to Kim's again. I of course chose something different. I had a bowl of their Stone Ground Grits with two scrambled eggs and ham on rye toast. Both the grits and the breakfast sandwich were delicious and filled me up. The guys are hoping next time we go the Tot Bowl special will be available. A great, friendly, affordable, cozy breakfast diner!

    Got the skillet it was absolutely atrocious. The eggs were probably the only thing that turned out…read moredecent the green peppers I believe were either rotten or extremely old as they tasted very very weird. The bacon was overcooked. The gravy may have come from a can. I am unaware as I was not in the kitchen cooking, but it was just not a good meal at all. I'm sorry I spent the money to build my own skillet for disappointment.

    Amazing. Spectacular. We've been talking about this place the entire weekend…read more We stumbled across Biscuit barn as hungry tourist. We were immediately greeted with a warm "hello" by a lovely waitress who put us on a 15 minute waitlist. About 10ish minutes goes by and my name was called, the place was very busy and the staff appear very attentive like they were pros at handling a little chaos. My boyfriend ordered the chicken co-op and I ordered the country eggs Benedict. These were some of the best biscuits we've ever had. This is a no frills kinda place but delicious. For 2 extremely full breakfast, a side of corn beef hash and 2 iced coffees (they even put ice on the side for us) with tip the meal was $43 and we took home half of our plates.

The grits and biscuits were delicious. The biscuits were golden brown, soft on the inside, and perfectly paired with the sausage gravy. The grits were also very well made, and perfect in the bowl! Three complaints: (1) parking was limited but definitely of size for the seats available in the restaurant; (2) the coffee was WAY too strong, bitter, and lacking normal coffee notes; and (3) they added a restaurant fee on the ticket. Still, we'd go again!

Our waitress was very attentive and made sure that we had what we needed; she even made us to-go drinks for the road! I had the taco salad which was Huge in a big taco shell - you could also have it served as a traditional salad if you prefer. I asked what the protein was and I was told ground beef, but she could see if they could make it as a chicken taco salad instead. I asked her to surprise me, and she brought out one made with chunks of seasoned chicken, lettuce, tomato, cheese, sour cream chopped inions and salsa which was very tasty. My friend had a tuna melt, which is her favorite meal for lunch and a side of onion rings. The sandwich came out nicely toasted with melted cheese and a thick layer of tuna salad. The onion rings were beautifully fried with real onion rings inside a crispy brown coating; she usually shares the onion rings with me but she must have been so hungry and they were so tasty, that she ate them all by herself! We then had to decide from a long list of desserts, including, pies, muffins and cakes. We split a slice of coconut meringue pie, which was quite heavenly! We come through this area quite a bit, so we will definitely return.
