A hometown favorite of the locals I felt welcomed and like one of the regulars! A cute storefront shop greets you at the entrance with local items for sale. Breakfast was hearty, hot and delicious. The whole ambiance is homey and sweet. The bathroom felt like being a guest in my own home. read more

3.5 stars. My friend and I stopped in after visiting Cedar Lakes Woods. There are not many options in this neck of the woods. We were there at lunch time, and sat right away at a table for 10, even though there were just 2 of us. Service was veerrrry slow, if friendly. They have a good sized menu, and I went with the BLT sandwich with a fried green tomato. My friend went with the chicken salad on salad, and I had order-envy. Hers looked way better than mine. Mine was fine, but didn't have very much flavor. My favorite part was the side of tater tots. We also split a peach cobbler for dessert. Lots of peaches, but the cobbler part itself wasn't very flavorful. Long story short - lunch was fine, if nothing special. read more

Sister's Place - Southern Near Me - Williston, Florida

Williston is not really a town you come through on purpose or drive by, but if you're ever in the area you HAVE to stop at Sister's Place! Sometimes there's nothing better than a cozy, homey family restaurant and that's exactly what's Sister's is (yes, the name is literal). It's a very southern family restaurant, so of course I had to try the fried catfish and it far exceeded expectations. It was crisp but cooked perfectly, with a slight seasoning and a little lemon juice, just delicious. We also tried peach cobbler for dessert, and I do think it's hard to find cobbler that's actually good and this is a rare one that makes the list. Melt in your mouth goodness! What a lovely little family restaurant way off the beaten path! read more

The fried green tomatoe blt & peanut butter pie were both really good. Server was very nice - as was hostess.

We went for breakfast and were absolutely blown away at how good EVERYTHING the three of us ordered was. The French Toast was incredible and the thick cut bacon was perfect. Fried green tomato with eggs, crispy hash browns and a cat head biscuit was only made better by ordering a side of gravy. It was amazing. The omelette was stuffed and big. Grits were perfectly thick and creamy. You better come with an appetite!! read more

After a day at Devil's Den and the gardens we were starving and Sister's Place was one of the first restaurants that popped up in our search. I had some mixed feelings about the food but over all it was really good. We started with the deviled eggs and fried green tomatoes.The deviled eggs were not the southernn kind that I am used too but the fried green tomatoes might be the best I have ever had! And the dipping sauce which is their zingy ranch was awesome. They were truly the highlight of the experience. I would stop in just for those anytime I am in the area. I also got their buffalo chicken salad grilled and it was really solid. Nice portion. I stole a few bites of my friends lunch and can report the the tater tots are super crispy and crunchy and the fried zucchini is good and the pieces of zucchini are thick. The atmosphere was cute if you are into the southern charm thing. The service was good. If you are in the area I think it is worth a stop. read more

The reason is, I ordered the avocado toast, and unfortunately, there was more toast than really anything else very thick bread hard to type and there was no real flavor of the avocado. My wife had another as she said one thing that we didn't notice when we arrived, we were at the gift shop and the coffee shop that looked like something we would want to buy until we saw the price of $45.99 per single coffee cup the service was gone. It is a local and I'm sure that we will revisit it in the future. read more

First time customer! This location is very new. They had just opened when we visited. Going from a very small restaurant to a large seating capacity comes with a learning curve. They were slow getting the food out to some but working through it to learn how to adapt. The staff are friendly and trying very hard to make your dining experience enjoyable. The menu had a great selection. All the food was fresh and delicious! We tried the chicken salad sandwich. The chicken salad was so flavorful and fresh. The broccoli casserole was so good! Potato salad was yummy too! I am sure anything you get will be amazing! read more

This is our second visit and we love it. You are greeted promptly in the entrance which has many cute tops and T shirts, teas and other comfy country vibes. The restaurant is open and seating is very nice with choice of tables and booths. There will soon be improved outdoor dining. There are daily specials and an event room. Our first visit was brunch and did not disappoint. This visit was at lunch. My husband's mushroom burger was cooked perfectly and my fried green tomato BLT was also very nice. Thick slices of the bacon and tomatoes. The best was the homemade fried okra. Hot and crispy but so flavorful. The price was good for a home cooked meal. Morgan took good care of us. Looking forward to our next visit. read more

I came here after visiting Devils Den, and I was so happy I did! We started out with the deviled eggs and the Fried Green tomatoes. I typically like a bit of spice to my deviled eggs so these were not what I was used to. The Fried Green tomatoes were freaking amazing! They were served with a zesty ranch and the flavor of the batter with the sauce were a perfect matchup. The tomatoes were also a perfect texture and thickness. They are definitely in the top 10 best I have ever had! I got the Turkey Bacon Wrap with a side of fried zucchini and tater tots. The Wrap was a good balance to all of the fried food as I feel like I got at least two whole zucchini's as my side. The fried batter is so good so I liked the zucchini as well. The tomatoes were the highlight! We also had an amazing server to compliment the southern vibes! read more

Daughter, grandmother and brother came here. waitress was cold and did not greet with a Hi, Hello or Welcome to Sister's place . she was very friendly and chatty with other customers. salad was just okay. cheese was missing and the waitress seemed bothered when my daughter asked for it. the ranch dressing was good. the waitress was happy to see us go and finally gave a little smile with our check. grandma asked for pie and that smile quickly disappeared, lol. i understand small town people can be weary of outsiders. so we will give this place another try. read more

FIRST time ever coming to this place.. we waited an hour to be seated after we got told that it would be a 20-25 min wait.. as we began to grow more irritated we walked in to see what was happening.. we got told it would be another 15 min wait.. FINALLY after waiting we got seated.. welp.. her we sat another 10 mins before anybody came to our table to wait on us, when suddenly the HOST came and took our drink orders.. mind you this place wasn't that busy.. ANOTHER 10 mins went by before we got our drinks.. well. Our waitress finally came by after waiting another 15 mins.. we all placed our orders and then we waited almost another hour to get our food.. my friends got the Salisbury steak special and theirs was out before my chicken tenders and my gfs cheeseburger.. that took another 30 mins to get. I was VERY irritated.. when I got my chicken tenders, I got 4 small ditsy mediocre chicken tenders that costed $14 for something that was literally no bigger than my finger.. they were good, but not $14 worth. When I brought it up to the waitress she told me they weigh them and they are hand battered and that's why they are so expensive.. regardless the experience was HORRIBLE.. and we will never be back. Luckily we don't live on that side of town and we were just going through.. but management definitely needs to run that place better. read more

A true small town, home-y place with 5 star southern food and hospitality!! The tables and booths were spaced just right, with several window seating booths. The tables looked beautifully made and reminded me of Amish craftsmanship. The decor was southern charm antiques with a darling little store at the entrance. The menu had quite a selection for every type of southern cuisine, plus some traditional entrees. They have a special for everyday of the week, with the suggestion to get there early as they run out at times. My pecan crusted salmon was done perfectly, as was my husband's fried large portion catfish fillets. A great selection of home made southern style sides accompanied our delicious fish. Dessert for both of us was apple crisp and blueberry crisp served warm with vanilla ice cream. So yummy!! Service was casual, warm, friendly, and attentive. read more

Sister's Place is a great stop for some local home cooking in Williston. My wife and I stopped here for lunch during our trip to Cedar Woods Botanical Gardens. After we finished up at the gardens, we knew we wanted to check out a local spot to eat at. We initially were gonna try another place but when we parked, we realized they were closed because of kitchen fire. Luckily, Sister's Place was not far! We drove on over and parked on the side of what looks like a small wooden house. The bungalow style building was split in two. One side was a women's hair salon and the other the restaurant. We opened the door and the place was packed and bustling. A kind woman came up and asked how many. It was just me, my wife and my daughter. She told us she had some tables finishing up and we would be seated shortly. A little wait in the foyer area and we were seated! All the staff was super friendly even though they were busy. Our server was around quickly and got us taken care of. She offered a package of crackers for our daughter who is 13 months and tends to have a hard time sitting still and being content. The crackers (thankfully) occupied her until our food came out. They have a board of daily specials, some already sold out by the time we got there. I went with their cheeseburger and side of onion rings. My wife got a Cuban sandwich and fries. We got a side of peaches for our daughter. The burger was really good. Fresh meat that came from a local cattle farm. Fresh toppings on it. Cooked just as I ordered it. The onion rings were large and crispy with a thin breading and well seasoned. My wife enjoyed her traditional Cuban sandwich that had ample meat and was pressed with a crispy fresh bread. The fries on the side were not her favorite as they were soft and greasy. She prefers a crispy fry. All in all, Sister's Place is an excellent choice for breakfast or lunch in Williston. This small town has charm and it's places like this, family run for 30 years, that dedicate their efforts to treating customers like friends and family while serving up food that is simple, fresh and tasty. read more

Always looking to change things up, we tried a new (to us) place in Williston, Sister's Place, for breakfast. It's not big, maybe 30 people tops in the dining room. But the staff was friendly and we were seated immediately and our drink orders taken. What a great breakfast!! The food was perfectly cooked. The hashbrown casserole was amazing and the home fries pretty unique. The biscuit was huge and the toast slices were extra thick. It's a small place, so plan on getting there early or with time to kill. It was nearly empty when we walked in and filled up instantly. Don't be discouraged - the food is worth it if you have to wait. read more

It is a cute place and was very clean. We were seated within 15 minutes and server came within 5-10. She brought our drinks and took our order. That's it! We ordered an appetizer and it took 45 minutes. She never came around to let us know anything!!!! We had to ask another server to check on our server. We were walking out and our server finally comes by with our appetizer but we just left. It was too bad because we read some good reviews read more

Waited an hour for food , they forgot to make it the first time then forgot to let us know they were out of a specific item but still got charged for it and after waiting they still missed two sides . After seeing the food it was definitely not worth $ 50 read more

Was in the area visiting a unique site nearby. We needed to stop for lunch. My wife, son, and I waited for about 45 minutes for a table around 1:30pm. When we finally got seated we waited for our food far longer than anyone should be expected to at reputable establishment and not mention this is a smaller spot in a small town. I understand being busy but there's a limit to making people wait and how much they're expected to just understand. In a time where businesses are struggling I think addressing your customers concerns should be priority one. This review was written while waiting for our food. Will post about the food after. Edited my review now to update for the food. Food was subpar at best. Mostly things I could make at home. They definitely have room for improvement because I can see potential for this pace. read more

Food is consistently good and service is always top notch. Nice to have a go to spot so close to home.

I keep coming here because the food is good and I like to support local places. But! Their processes of seating people and getting their order needs serious revamping. The wait is terrible with staff walking back and forth continuously saying "they will be with you in just a minute". One man's behind me told another guy, "this is a restaurant of patience." Two parties behind me left this morning. This would be a great place if they could just figure out how to manage the front end. read more

Food and service were both quick and good. Very clean with great atmosphere. My wife chose the special which were dumplings. I chose scallops on top of grits. Both were great. read more

Food was good, service is normally very good but can get busy at times, clean and nicely decorated with a at home atmosphere.

Visited Sisters place before going to Devils Den - it is a smaller spot with limited seating. The place was hopping and an obvious favorite local spot. The reviews drew us in! I got The chicken salad sandwich with sweet potato fries. The sandwich was really good and I would get it again! I did think something was missing - I needed tart and crunchy - pickle, celery or something but the flavor was really buttery and good. If it came with a pickle or something on the side would have really made the flavors pop! Would return! Also the price and value is really good as well. read more

Lunch was delicious, Cuban sandwich and fried green tomatoes. The bacon cheeseburger looked amazing. I will return.

Service is not the best. The wait staff varies from excellent to horrible. I wish someone would train them!

Wonderful country restaurant with home cooked food! Restaurant is precious and the service is excellent! Definitely recommend!!

I think they are cooking all of the food on a single hot plate in the kitchen. I've been there twice, once for breakfast and once for lunch. Both times the wait time was horrible. I received food for breakfast after a long wait and the food was fine (pancakes, eggs and sausage), but I left after 90 minutes without receiving any food when I took my family there for lunch. My visits were a month or so apart so I was really disappointed that they did not improve. I still hope they can get their act together as it is a cute restaurant in a town that needs exactly what they offer. read more

Sister's Place is a small cafe in Williston, Florida. Williston is small community about 30 miles SW of Gainesville and can be quite the place to visit. There is a grotto in the area that you can go diving in. There is a nice city park, and it is on the way to Cedar Key. Williston is worth a visit. Anyway... Sister's Place. Sister's Place is the de-facto place for breakfast in Williston. It is within walking distance of Williston RV Resort and a popular place among the locals. It is a small cafe. Maybe 6 tables in total, if my memory serves me, so it fills up quickly. My advice is to get there the moment they open and grab that table. I have eaten there a couple of times now, when I go down to visit family. This time I went with my dad and we walked from the RV resort. We made it there right as they were opening after taking a couple of detours because of the route we took... hey, it happens to the best of us! I wasn't all that hungry that morning. Well, I was hungry, but for certain reasons I feel full after a couple of bites. This particular morning, I ordered a half order of biscuits and gravy with a fried egg on top. The biscuits were soft and fluffy. You could tell there were homemade. Sausage gravy is a condiment in the south and the gravy at Sister's Place doesn't disappoint. The fried egg was the jewel on top. I had my fill, boxed up my leftovers and ate them the next morning. The menu isn't huge but it is all homemade. If you happen to be in the Gainesville area, Williston is a quick 30 minute drive and Sister's Place is worth the effort! read more

This evening was our second visit to this restaurant. The staff was attentive and friendly. The wait time was long after ordering. The food came and my loaded sweet potato was about half cooked.

We probably won't go there again. read more
