An All-You-Can-Eat Seafood Spread Draws Crowds To This Buffet In Florida

Endless crab legs come with every dinner buffet here. Not as a pricey add-on you have to argue yourself into, but right there in the deal. I admit that detail alone would get me in the car. Then you add fried oysters, deviled crab, boiled shrimp, and grilled fish, and the plan gets serious.

Filipino Street Food Brings Big Manila Flavor To This Little Family-Run Florida Grill

A Filipino food truck that makes its own crab rangoons, and they sell out faster than the kitchen can roll them. That’s the kind of problem I like hearing about. The menu leans on lumpia, chicken on a stick, pancit, and adobo. Then a smash burger shows up and quietly steals attention from the classics.
