This place is small, cozy, and absolutely adorable. I really loved the building's façade and the whole atmosphere. I came in with my family, and we all loved everything we ordered. The food was amazing, the service was excellent, and the entire experience was fantastic. Everything was so good that we now have to make room to come back and try the other things on the menu! We'll definitely be back on our next visit. Highly recommend this place! You won't be disappointed. read more

Green Door On 8th - Fassade - New American Near Me - Dade City, Florida

WHERE food is the experience... and the rest is dessert. Sunset smoldering into the distant sea Waning light meanders through the trees on 8th Our subtly shifting window view Shapes to shadows. Greens to grays. Day into night. This brushstroke masterpiece. Describing my most recent Green Door on 8th adventure in fond food-centric prose. Lucky enough to dine with a dear friend. Perfection was to follow. In choice of seating, by the window. In service, by way of Tristan. In cuisine, by way of the culinary magic transcribed from menu bits to savory tasty gourmet bites. Ah, that kitchen magic. I've come to love this little tuckaway gem on the 'other' side of the tourist trail. A hole in the wall with a slice of history and a slice of... Fried Green Tomatoes. or Smoked Gouda or Key Lime Pie, if you will. THE most recent thing I've discovered that I love about Green Door, is sharing Green Door. With family. And friends. I've managed to convince more than a few it's worth the drive. From Lutz. South Tampa. And beyond. My tag line is 'You want to try something different, I have the place'. My goal is to sample all that Green Door has to offer. And delicious describes everything that I've had! Steaks, chicken, burgers, salads, Cajun, classics and more. And to share with all who accept my invite. No feast is complete without that loving grace. And Green Door on 8th is the place. read more

Green Door On 8th - Fish and grits - New American Near Me - Dade City, Florida

We drove out to Dade City to look around and decided to have dinner while we were there. The good: we were greeted and sat quickly. Server was friendly and offered suggestions on appetizers and entrees. There were plenty of staff. The menu is interesting with different versions of dishes. The bad: service very quickly went downhill. Our server who only had 3 tables and one right next to ours would go over to that table and never look or even check our drinks or anything else. He left the restaurant at one point after we had been out of our drinks for quite some time, so we had to flag another employee down to get refills on our iced tea. There were 5 staff on duty, yet they were frequently cleaning glasses or meandering behind the bar versus ensuring optimal dining experiences for their customers. The food was decent, but for the price and horrible service, we won't be back. read more

My first time here and the food was absolutely delicious. We got the bleu cheese chips, green fried tomatoes, and the gouda fried cheese. Entree spinach artichoke stuffed chicken w/ mac and cheese and asparagus. I can't complain about one single thing, probably the best restaurant I have been to in a while. read more

Green Door On 8th - New American Near Me - Dade City, Florida

Cute little restaurant in Dade City. This is our second time visiting, and we've enjoyed it both times. They have an interesting menu, along with a daily special that offers additional options. The food is very good, flavorful, well prepared, and consistently enjoyable. On the other hand, the service can be inconsistent. Some of the servers have displayed less-than-welcoming body language or facial expressions, which can affect the overall experience. The ambiance is nice and inviting, although it can get a bit loud at times. When paying with a credit card, remember that a 3% fee is charged without notice. Overall, I recommend this restaurant because the food is excellent. If you're fortunate enough to visit on a day when the service is also great, you'll have a wonderful dining experience. read more

Absolutely fantastic seasoned fries, wonderful service, disgusting food. Will not be going back. Ordered the reserve burger, knowing it had blue cheese, but they simply smothered the damn thing to the point where you couldn't taste the meat or bread. Not worth revisiting just for fries. read more

Stopped by the green door on my lunch break from work and ended up staying here until the start of dinner. This recommendation from a friend who was local to the area was right on time. It was a warm welcome from the door to my table. Logan was right there to accompany me with water and a bright smile. Ended up having a great conversation with the table next to me and it reminded me to live in the moment. Great way to slow down my day and this food brought me the energy I needed to finish strong. The burger was delicious and I tasted the love in it. Even down to the fries and ranch. Always have a second stomach for desert and especially cause the whole atmosphere felt so homey. Would come back again with friends. I am a fan. Also ask Logan to sing something for you he might just bring out his guitar read more

Boy, I wanted to like this place that was recommended to us by a local shop owner, but...... Service was spotty. I actually got up from the table to hunt down some salt, pepper and hot sauce. Food wasn't all that great. The flatbread pizza is like a cold cracker crust. The toppings are minimal, so it was more like eating a large dry cracker with a dab of goat cheese or mushroom here and there and dry arugula thrown on top. The fried green tomatoes had an old taste to them. The jambalaya and red beans were ok but, by far, not one of the best we've had. The restaurant was full of locals. If you go, skip these dishes and pick another option. read more

I had the Meridian Shrimp and the crawfish étouffée. Excellent!!! Etouffee spicy but not hot and the aioli sauce on the shrimp was so good. I also had a crown and Coke which was just right!! Definitely recommended. I hear their shrimp and grits are also great. read more

I got this recommendation off Tik Tok not knowing it was only a mile away from my home. They raved about the spinach dip and how good it was so I wanted to try it. When I got there I was seated rather quickly since it was a weekday and I was alone. It was a nice family oriented environment. Already knowing what I wanted the food came out pretty quickly. The spinach dip was probably the best I'd ever had honestly and it was a pretty big serving I had to take some home. My only complaint about the gumbo was the rice was barely cooked so I didn't eat that but the soup itself made up for it. Same with the shrimp and grits the grits wasn't cooked the best but the flavors were there for sure. There are plenty other things I want to try on the menu so I'll be back but totally a place you should visit if you're in the area. The waiter was nice so I'm sure if I said something it would have been rectified, I was just in a rush as I was on lunch. read more

This place is amazing. The grilled chicken was very well seasoned and put together. Their home made chips are amazing, a must get. The service was good no complaints. The atmosphere is so cool, place is very nice feels like you dining in time. Made dinner cool. read more

Good I recieved as left over was great. I wish to have fresh. But my family says very accommodating.

We had our first visit during the downtown Christmas festival and had hour and a half wait when told it would be approximately 15 minutes. We both ordered the rice and beans and jambalaya but had to wait another hour to receive them once we finally got a table. We decided to try again two weeks later and called to make reservations. We all enjoyed the Cajun specialty meals again and highly recommend them! Also...try their Mac and cheese...amazing! Nice small town restaurant with helpful wait staff. We will definitely be back. read more

I called more than an hour ahead to confirm that they could accommodate a party of 18. I specifically explained that we did not need to all sit at one long table. In fact, I mentioned that a single long table often makes it difficult to socialize because people on opposite ends are essentially sitting across the restaurant from each other. I suggested that several tables grouped near one another would work perfectly, and I was assured that could be accommodated. Part of our party arrived first while the rest were finding parking. While we were waiting, a party of eight was seated in the middle of the restaurant, and before them, a party of two was also seated in the middle of the restaurant. When I arrived, I discovered that our group had been split between opposite ends of the restaurant. Part of our party was seated in one corner, while the rest were placed in the opposite corner, with multiple tables separating us. I asked if we could use some of the smaller tables around us so that our group could at least be seated closer together, as I had originally requested. I was told no because it would be too difficult for the server, especially since another large party had just been seated. After calling ahead and clearly explaining that I did not want our group spread across the restaurant, the solution they chose was to literally seat us across the restaurant from each other. At that point, it felt as though they simply did not want to accommodate our party. Unfortunately, I cannot comment on the food because we chose to leave rather than stay under those circumstances. read more

Always loved the green door in Dade city so when they opened closer to me I had to try it . The decor is very homey in a modern way . We were seated quickly and greeted by a great server . Beer and wine only but when they didn't have my favorite the server said we have one very similar and she was right I loved it . We came for a late lunch and hubby's burger was perfect in every way served with homemade potato chips. I had this wonderful turkey sandwich on ciabatta bread with bacon and avocado. Hostess came over to see if everything was to our liking our server was seating a table of 8-10 . Everything was perfect and the other big test was the restroom was immaculate. Great place with this comfortable yet modern vibe , great service and great food . Can't wait to go and see what dinner has to offer read more

Green Door On 8th - Mac n cheese and chicken sandwich - New American Near Me - Dade City, Florida

This is my last attempt at this place. My friend and I went for lunch today. She got a chef salad that I had a tablespoon of cheese and one cherry tomato and the rest was filler with the meat. I got the macaroni and cheese and a ridiculously small salad that had 1 cherry tomato in it. The macaroni and cheese was mushy and had very little flavor. What a huge disappointment as I had to pay almost $30 to include the tip. I just don't see how anybody would like this restaurant. I will never be back and neither will my friend. On a positive note, the waitress was very good. read more

Starting to nudge down...last two times have been rough. First off, service here used to be exceptional...now it is hit or miss. The food is usually good. However, last time my blackened chicken salad tasted was very salty and lettuce was wilted. The time before that, my chick play sandwich was dried out. I hope opening a second location didn't lead to this one going down hill. read more

We booked here for my sister's rehearsal dinner and the food, service, and ambiance was fantastic. Open bar, extremely accommodating staff for guests with food restrictions (I saw a Ribeye steak dinner come out for a gentleman) and the food was very tasty as well. If I had to choose I would 100% go for the stuffed chicken and the stuffed jalapeño meatloaf. The evening was beautiful and I would definitely come back. read more

We recently moved to the area and have been looking for new places to try. After reading the reviews and looking over the menu, decided to give Green Door a try. Overall, we were quite pleased with the restaurant. The have two different rooms for dining- the main area and then an overflow room. We were sat in the overflow room.....this room could definitely use some TLC. Our waitress was great! Checked on us often and made some good suggestions as well. I was a fan of their food as well. I had their Crema pasta dish- yum! We also ordered dessert, which I highly recommend. Their prices are a little high, but it's worth it based on the quality. Would return in the future! read more

We've eaten here many times over the years, took a hiatus for no particular reason went back last week and realized I how delicious their food is and that we need to put it on a regular rotation.

Well - went into this place with high expectations based on reviews. Interior was cool and restaurant was bustling. I ordered the orange martini and asked if it was sweet - server said no... it came a couple mins later not full and extremely sweet. I asked her to pls fill the martini glass and use vodka to cut the sweet. Came back as palatable, albeit still sweet. Lunch came and the gumbo was excellent! Wife's shrimp po boy was on a bun, not a roll as expected, and was meh... lacked flavor. Still acceptable and came with an order of fries that was great. When the bill came I noticed the martini (14$) was on the bill as expected, but also had an addl 8$ for an extra shot. I asked what this was for and she said she added more Tito's, so I was charged. So now we have one full Tito's martini (still over sweet) for 22$. Wish I would have just returned the shitty drink and ordered a beer. When no bartender at place and servers need to make drinks this shit happens. Dumb move as we'll not ever go back. Lesson learned. Food is good, but stick with beer in this place. read more

This was a cute little find in Dade City. Such great ambiance and really pleasant service will definitely have us returning. The rack of lamb was probably some of the best I've eaten. Small tweaks such as having the tables set with silverware and napkins before seating the guests, and making sure the drinks arrive before the apps were about my only complaints. Delish!!! read more

I visited Green Door on 8th for the 1st time & had a wonderful experience. We arrived around 7:30 PM & it was perfect weather to sit outside. The inside of the restaurant is quite small but good vibes especially for a date night. We started out with the Meridian Shrimp for an appetizer which was gulf shrimp sautéed in a seasoned butter sauce with banana & peppadew peppers, finished with a signature aioli ($13). It reminded me a lot of the bang bang shrimp from Bonefish Grill. They were quite large & absolutely delicious. For the main entree I chose the Filet Mignon ($41) a hand-cut 8 oz steak with potatoes & Mac N cheese. It typically comes with vegetables, but I sub it out for the mac & cheese. The steak was cooked to perfection, the mashed potatoes were buttery and delicious and the mac & cheese was mouth watering. For dessert I got the bread pudding and it was a hands-down one of the best I've ever had. I have absolutely no complaints about the food and the service was just as great. Our Server was very attentive and met all of our needs. I will definitely be back! read more

Absolutely fantastic. After being turned away from another restaurant, our group of 7 made our way to the Green Door. We were seated immediately with a smile. Our server, Logan, was exceptional. We were celebrating a birthday, and met here as some were coming from Orlando and some from Tampa. Perfect spot. Ample parking in the back. Great menu. The drinks were superb. Started with the fried green tomatoes and the spinach dip. They were wonderful. Then, we tried the shrimp and grits, the jambalaya, a salmon salad, a burger and a roast beef sandwich. Something for everyone. And everyone was pleased with their selections. No one hurried us. No rush. It was wonderful. And we all got a dessert to go, from cookies, cake, bread pudding and key lime pie. Again, something for everyone and everyone pleased with their selections. The Green Door helped us all create another memory. Hopefully, we will be able to make more at this wonderful restaurant. Kudos to the management and staff. read more

Our second time here for Sunday brunch -- yum! We always sit outside on the patio. It is facing a parking lot but still lovely, especially on a nice weather day. The servers are very professional. The interior is a cute, a wonderful re-use of an old space. It is small inside, so it might get loud at times. We love the brunch menu, there are so many amazing choices, and the prices are good too. I got the biscuits and gravy, and I think they were the best I ever had! I also got a cup of the jambalaya, it is spicy and just as good as the jambalaya I've had in the French Quarter in New Orleans. The dinner menu looks a little pricey, might be a good choice for a special night out. The lunch menu looks really good too and good prices, we will be back for that! read more
