The Yearling Restaurant

A trip back in time to old Florida. They have a Florida Fish Camp vibe. The fried clams were delicious (these are the only types of restaurants I ever order them because you know they do it well!). Definitely worth a visit!

We stayed at the cabins for one night, and immediately went to eat here. Zoey was our server. She indicated it was her first night serving, and she did a good job. Incredibly sweet! I knew I was going to have those fried green tomatoes, and OMG, they are the best I have ever eaten. The breading was perfect. Not greasy. Even though an order of hush puppies isn't listedon the menu, we were able to order some. Again, not greasy and awesome batter. Husband had the shrimp and grits and "very southern" sides. I had the small order of fried shrimp. Everything tasted delicious. I don't eat fried food very often, and it didn't bother me afterwards, either. Incredible to wander around the restaurant perusing the books and memorabilia. Last pic is the cabin we stayed in that night. Very comfortable. Would do this again.

One of my top favorite restaurants in the entire state of Florida for its “old Florida “ charm, friendly staff, antique/vintage decor, local history and books for sale, stage for live music, and of course, the food. I got the steak burger, and man was that burger GOOD. So much flavor and one of the best burgers I’ve ever had.

We happened upon this restaurant after visiting the nearby state park, so we weren't sure what to expect, but we were pleasantly surprised. The food was good, portion size was perfect and the staff was friendly and attentive. I will definitely stop in here again.

Great hole-in-the wall restaurant that's got a rustic flair. Everything I've had has been hot and fresh. Service is always great. They've got neat antique books for sale and cool stuffed animals in the back.

I wasn't sure what to expect.But boy, am, I glad I decided to come here.The food was outstanding from start to finish the appetizers.All the way to the luncan't wait to go back

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.
