Half-Pound Burgers And Smoked Brisket Keep Hungry Drivers Coming Back To This Lakeland BBQ Dive

A half-pound beef patty topped with smoked brisket sounds like a dare. At one small roadside spot in Florida, it’s simply lunch. The kitchen opens at 7 AM, and breakfast runs all day. That means a brisket omelette is fair game at noon, and a smoked meat burger is fair game at sunrise. I like a menu that refuses to watch the clock.

Crispy Fried Chicken And Catfish Make This Hidden Orlando Soul Food Spot A Florida Local Favorite

This Glamorous Florida Steakhouse Feels Like a Million-Dollar Night Out

On Friday and Saturday nights, the ladies’ restroom at this steakhouse has a hairstylist on hand for touch-ups. Yes, really. A dinner spot with a mid-meal blowout station is clearly playing a different game. The stage has a dance floor that raises and lowers. A live band plays during...

11 Florida Restaurants Where Dessert Comes With a Serious Warning to Save Room

One Tampa steakhouse sends you upstairs to a separate dessert room with private booths and live piano music. Dessert gets its own floor there. I love that kind of commitment. That’s just one stop on this list. Another spot serves cake from a room glowing with bubble lights and electric trains. Another tops key lime pie with meringue tall enough to need its own zip code.

The steak here arrives on an actual stake. The servers play vampire familiars, and the chandeliers are built from stakes and skulls. That alone got my attention. Then I learned the dining hall sits in a village ruled by a vampire, with a candlelit crypt room and gothic paintings covering the stone walls.

Forget Fancy Burgers, This Little Florida Joint Keeps Locals Coming Back for the Classics

The fries here get cut fresh and cooked in beef tallow. That one detail tells you a lot about how this little burger counter thinks. The burgers hit an open flame, not a flat griddle. The milkshakes get hand dipped. The menu stays short on purpose, built around burgers and Vienna Beef hot dogs.
