We saved McDavid's Café for our last day, and I'm so glad we did. I had been hearing great things about their donuts, and they absolutely lived up to the reviews. The donut was excellent--definitely homemade, served warm, and so good. They don't offer a big variety, just a glazed donut and donut holes, but what they do make, they do very well. For breakfast, I had my usual: three eggs over medium, grits, bacon, and a biscuit. Everything was very good, and the biscuit was especially outstanding--one of the best biscuits I've had in a long time. The owner even came out to check on us and make sure everything was good, which made the experience even better. I would highly recommend this place. I only wish we had eaten here a few more times during our trip. We will definitely be back when we're in the area. read more

This place was awesome all around if I could it would be a 10+, that's how good it was. The service was very good, Anne Marie got us our drinks and kept them filled, also this is a family owned place. We had the pleasure of Ashley, whose husband is owner waiting on us and you can tell this is a great place as it was very busy. All the staff were great and helpful. The food was very delicious and Ashley got us a free donut hole to try. Oh my gosh was it good.. I had biscuits and gravy, with hash browns and scrambled eggs, excellent.. this is such a cute place I had to take pics. The ambiance of this place is wonderful, this place is a real gem, if you are ever up in Steinhatchee, Florida you have to go there. It is a must. They are closed Tuesday and Wednesday, but rest of time open from 6 am to 2 pm read more

Solid place to eat in steinhatchy fl read more

Make sure to get the donuts they are so good and one of the best donuts i have ever had

Great atmosphere and food. It's a small area but we were able to get a table very quickly. We had to have those donuts so they were our appetizer before the main course. Delicious!! Soft and covered in glaze. My husband ordered the biscuits and gravy and I ordered a bacon egg and cheese biscuit. The food was spot on. The servers were all very pleasant. Highly recommend. read more

Perfect breakfast place. Amazing food and service in a quaint setting. Don't miss the donuts.

Your attitude sucks. If you tell someone it's going to be a 20 minute wait and 40 minutes go by and you're asked again that is not being rude that's an inquiry. No need to cuss in front of a restaurant full of people with children present. read more

Located in what looks like an old house, had a homie feel too. Service was great. They had two people checking on me constantly filling my drinks. The food was delicious! I would definitely eat there again. read more

Very friendly service. I ordered the Cuban sandwich with some sauerkraut on it , with fries. And a large coffee. The coffee came out as black as night, which is my favorite. The Cuban sandwich was absolutely tender and mouthwatering delicious. One bite from it and you know it was made with love. The fries were perfectly cooked. I added my own pepper and garlic powder and some hot sauce. read more

Super nice owners. Donuts !!!! So good. Had the brisket hash and the best and biggest biscuits. Don't pass it up for breakfast.

Best doughnuts I have ever eaten! So light, soooooo GOOD. I only wish we bought more.

After Manatee Springs I was craving some southern comfort food and was not disappointed. I got the biscuits and gravy and my boyfriend got the patty melt with fried okra. The service was great and I'm a big fan of supporting local businesses like this. I definitely recommend the fresh donuts and will come back when we try scalloping!! read more

I visited this local Southern cuisine while I was working in town with the law firm helping homeowners with the recent hurricane that hit , upon arrival, I was greeted by a local customer ( sitting in lobby ) which I thought was cute because you don't see that in bigger cities. I loved the energy in here . I have to admit, I was a bit skeptical walking over to this restaurant as a minority woman. I was greeted with a warm smile from Ashley and that just made my day , the food was delicious, I got chicken wrap and I ate every bit of it . Overall , I highly recommend this local hidden gem ! P.S It was not busy at all but I can see this place can get busy depending on what's going on in town that's just common sense ‍ PET Friendly!!! read more

Cute little spot. Definitely larger inside than it appears from the parking area. What a wonderful breakfast! We had the best server and meal. The meals come out fast, so be ready. The biscuits, grits and hot donuts are amazing. My hubby had the Captain Richard and raved about the corn beef hash (it's actually shredded corn beef on top!). Great stop. read more

McDavid's Cafe - Donuts to go, before I could get a picture with family had already ate most of the donut holes and a donut! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Steinhatchee, Florida

This review is for their lunch. I believe their breakfasts are much better than lunch. The stop serving breakfast at 11:00 and you must order from the lunch menu. The food - husband ordered loaded fries and I ordered Philly cheesesteak. Both were ordinary. We bought 2, $3 donuts to go. Absolutely not worth it. Again very ordinary, Dunkin is better. The service - it was chaotic. No idea which person was our server. Several different people took the order, brought the drinks, food, bill, cleaned up. Didn't feel "taken care of", I felt like a number not a person. The ambiance is very nice with local art and pictures on the walls. read more

We didn't find this gem till day 4/5 of our trip, so we ate here day 4 AND 5! Everything in this town feels like home and McDavid's was no different. We sat ourselves and had their coconut iced coffee delivered in what felt like seconds. We had two waitresses helping us and had what we needed before we could even think to need it. I'm not a donut person, in fact, it's the ONE dessert I can easily say no to, but we figured they were famous for their donuts so we ordered them. And then ordered more. And then took a box to go. Holy moly. They were incredible. Everyone here went the extra mile to make sure our experience was great, and my goodness it was! Don't pass McDavids! It's a must do if you're in Steinhatchee! **we saw someone try to open the door and leave because it wouldn't open..It's NOT locked! You just have to twist it! Do NOT miss this place. Bang on that door if you have to! read more

Busy place. Small. Good donuts. Good biscuits. Yummy breakfast. Very nice staff. Tried to get sandwiches from them the next day to go on the boat but they are so busy, we couldn't get thru on the phone and when we stopped by they were slammed. So go before you are starved and be patient. It's worth the wait. read more

Enjoyed a nice breakfast. There aren't many options in town but Mcdavids's is a good one. There is indoor and outdoor seating and the small town vibe. The country fried steak was very good and the biscuits are big and tasty. Make sure you pick up some fresh donuts as well. read more

Doughnuts are better than Krispy Kreme! Country Fried Steak on Texas toast was delicious too. You can't go wrong with the yummy homemade food at McDavids! It's a smaller restaurant so to skip the wait we get it to go before heading out on the boat. read more

McDavid's Cafe - 8 Doughnuts for $10.00 - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Steinhatchee, Florida

I wish I could give this place 10 stars. The food and the service were beyond amazing. We had a group of 15 people. The good thing is there is an enclosed outdoor seating area which was able to accommodate all of us They didn't flinch. Food came out in a timely order. The corned beef hash was the best I have ever had. Homemade biscuits were amazing as well. The donuts are to die for and they come out still warm. The place is a 4 1/2 hour drive from where I live, but if I am ever even remotely close to this place again I will go out of my way to have breakfast there read more

All the other reviews were right... this place is super busy!! Based upon the reviews from everyone else I of course tried the donut holes as well as the pancakes. We ordered our food to go and while it was mid morning and a super busy time it took about 45 minutes for our order to be prepared. The restaurant was a small quaint place. The Staff was very friendly when I went in to pick it up. While I don't think any of the food we had was bad I also don't think it was anything special either. read more

warm welcome, good coffee, hot biscuits and homemade donuts. Friendly cat! Perfect service, local knickknacks. unbeatable price for food.

Best donuts and corn-beef hash ever!! Friendly staff and great service!! Highly recommend.

Passed by this place on the way to go out scalloping and was asked by our party to stop in and grab donuts. I didn't know what to expect because I've never been to this area before. Walked in and ordered them from the front counter, the lady turned around and pulled them directly out of the oven. Had to try one while it was warm when I got in the car and let me tell you these things were phenomenal. The texture was perfect, Not as fluffy as the chain donut store, but Just the right thickness to be extremely moist. The only flavor they have is glazed and it was literally the perfect balance of sweetness. Still sweet enough to be a glazed doughnut but you could also taste the saltiness and bread flavor of the dough. I have to be honest, I'm glad I don't live too close to this place because these donuts and probably become an addiction. read more

Service is great, food is great. Best donuts in town. Prices are very reasonable. Give them a try for sure.
