We went here off the reviews we read. And what a WONDERFUL SURPRISE! The Yearling met snd exceeded our expectations. Besides the atmosphere being unique, and relaxed, the staff were all super nice , but the food was absolutely terrific! And if you can ask for Katie!!!! We started with the side salad with their locally made orange mango dressing. They make it their with locale oranges. We asked for extra for our hush puppies, fish and shrimp to dip. (Yes it’s that good). We had the platter plate w/ red fish and the grouper. And you definitely have to try the sour orange cream cheese cake. We will DEFINITELY be returning. Thank You Katie!

We visited Hawthorne and this restaurant came highly recommended. We stopped in for a late lunch and it was so worth it. Real southern homemade dishes. Lots of variety from seafood to burgers and sandwiches. Everything is prepared that day and served piping hot. You must order dessert it is the best! The shrimp and grits were some of the best I have ever tasted and I’m from the south! Really cool place to walk around and look at all the books and decor.

Great place for true Florida Cracker cuisine! Best grilled Grouper! The Creamy Mango salad dressing was really tasty. Real Key Lime Pie, not dyed green, and really good Peanut Butter Pie. Service was excellent!

This restaurant was really cool! I loved the atmosphere and the location. The vibes are really historic Florida, wild and swampy. The food was all right, not bad but not great. I don’t feel it’s worth its price. The service was okay, too, it seemed like they were short staffed and we had to ask for things that we ordered a few times to ensure that we got them. I definitely recommend coming here at least once for the experience!

Absolutely the best food I have ever had. The onion rings were cooked perfectly and very delicious. We got fried catfish and hush puppies that was delicious as ever. My husband got the blackened grouper and cheese grits which was phenomenal along with the collard greens. It was a wonderful atmosphere polite and friendly staff. Definitely a go too when we are passing through town
