    Chicken wrap and corn nuggets
    Emily T.

    Was in High Springs for the Alachua County Cup and wanted to grab food before watching the soccer match. Found this cute spot just off the main road. Great menu with some southern specialties like frog legs. We got the chicken sandwich, wrap, corn nuggets, lemonade and fried Oreos for dessert. Service was quick and friendly.

    Ordered from the Chompers in Fanning Springs. Its a cute little establishment that always seems to be busy. I had to try it and my only problem was I ordered the Philly Cheesesteak potachos and got the pulled pork potachos instead. The gator po boy was good.

    Bett's Big T - Fried shrimp platter with a side of fries  Smoked ribs meal with collard greens, mac n cheese, and peach cobbler

    I've always kinda liked Bett's Big T but also used to have reservations about it. Back circa 2015,…read moreit was pretty run down, looked pretty grim honestly. I guess it began as a truck stop decades ago and then became solely a restaurant. Anyways, they have had a cosmetic refresh, painting the building, adding cute signage including some features explaining Bett's long history, and just made the dining rooms a down-home but clean and inviting place now. This goes a long way: I am all for hole-in-the-wall restaurants but you don't want a place to look dirty, either. Bett's no longer does. It looks comfortable and plain-spoken, honest, and home town now. The food has always been good. You get a menu dinner or daily special--things like chicken fried steak or liver and onions or fried mullet--and a choice of three sides. The sides range from mac-n-cheese and collards to normally a couple homemade desserts: the peach cobbler and strawberry cake both are not to be missed. Portions are generous. Their Friday and Saturday all-you-can-eat seafood dinner is also a real deal and good food. Red velvet cake, caramel cake, and lemon cake are hits too but less frequent in their menu appearances. Ford hook limas sometimes show up too, slowly cooked with bacon or ham and are awesome. The painting and general interior and exterior refresh really went a long ways with me to have greater confidence in Bett's. It's now easily a place I rank with some of the region's best country/Southern cooking restaurants.

The food selection is very diverse and plentiful. The prices are between $12 and $20'ish per person. The fried chicken comes with 2 or 3 sides and or a desert. Service is fast and friendly and they are very attentive to the customers needs. They recently remodeled parts and the place is even better.

By the time we reached, it was pouring rain and we were happy to escape into what the restaurant self-describes as a "folksy spot for BBQ and southern sides," The waitress tended to us immediately, and we were seated in a comfortable wooden booth and brought our menus. Being hungry, we ordered an appetizer (or a "Bubbatizer" in this restaurant) -- Fried Green 'Maters, served with ranch dressing. ($9.99). As per our usual, we planned to split our lunch, and were happy to find combo dinners on the menu. Pick 2 (for $21.99) or pick 3 (for $25.99). Either is served with two sides and a slice of Bubba Bread. We chose a "pick two" meal to share, selecting pulled pork and smoked turkey, with fried okra and mac-and-cheese. Other entree possibilities include Texas brisket, BBQ chicken (1/2), shrimp, Texas sausage, chicken tenders, 3 St. Louis ribs, 6 wings, or 3 sticky bones. There were many additional, enticing side dish possibilities as well. While we waited for our food, we enjoyed looking around the decor of the restaurant. Another reviewer referred to it as having "a cute but overdone redneck theme." This seems appropriate. The theme even extended to the restrooms. Our main combo meal was served quite quickly, even before our appetizer. The portions were good, and the food was tasty. We both preferred the pulled pork (5/5) to the smoked turkey (3/5), and enjoyed both of the sides. There was a selection of BBQ sauces at the table; we tried many! Given that we were splitting a meal, we should have also ordered an additional slice of bread. One drawback. We had already eaten half of our main meal when we asked the waitress about the status of our fried green tomatoes. They ended up being our dessert instead of appetizer. That said, they were hot and tasty, even given that we were already full. We hadn't realized while we were there that BubbaQue's is a franchise, with many locations in Florida, one in Louisiana. We will return when next in the south. We recommend the restaurant.

    A slightly run-down restaurant with a decidedly older customer base and food as good and as…read moredown-home as you'd hope to possibly find. When you see the daily specials on their menu, you know it's the real deal. Not only is there fried chicken and chicken n dumplings, but the vegetable sides include such grandma favorites as Jello with fruit and often several kinds of peas . . . and rutabagas, any time you actually can find rutabagas on a restaurant menu you know they're not playing around in the kitchen and they're catering to old timers who themselves know how to cook. I had chicken n dumplings with fried eggplant and cucumbers and onions salad as my sides and cornbread came along with the plate as well. Everything was delicious. The cucumbers tasted fresh from someone's garden--like they had that just-picked taste you don't normally encounter in restaurants at all. Service was fine, an older waitress who checked on me and kept the iced tea coming. The interior is comfy, old license plates on the wall, regulars greeting each other and coming over to each other's tables. But the food is what stands out: not at all fancy, indeed, it doesn't taste like restaurant food but literally like eating at a Southern friend's grandma's house and I don't believe there could be a higher recommendation than that.

Needless to say this the Metro diner truly surpassed my expectations. We walked in and were greeted immediately and asked if we would like to sit outside which is a covered area or indoors. We chose inside given it being a hot humid day and wanting that extra comfort. The vibe felt amazing with all the smiles and yes even though busy all the wait staff was hopping doing their business! We were seated and told about the specials and given the menu. I was unsure what I wanted because I think I could have eaten a little bit of everything! I did ask the waitress a couple of suggestions and one of them was the pancakes I had chosen. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner all day! How cool is that and rare. They had a chicken and waffle special that was actually half a chicken ( pieces ) fried with Belgium waffles, powdered sugar and sweet strawberry butter served with their signature sweet and spicy sauce. I'll be honest when I had seen someone else get their plate I was surprised. It looked absolutely incredible and well tremendous. On their specials they had banana pudding pancakes or waffles, this also sounded amazing. It had walnuts, butter and powdered sugar and definitely banana. I am most certainly glad that I chose this as it was incredibly. Super fluffy, flavorful and the banana was not overwhelming there was a perfect balance of flavors. There was a sauce on them that I assume was the banana pudding. It was light and just enough to not overpower the pancake itself. We had also ordered croissant French toast and my son absolutely loved them. They were crispy on the outside yet fluffy and flavorful with a fantastic texture topped with some powdered sugar. Some ordered hash browns, these were also delicious and homemade with a great texture and the portion like all the other dishes pretty large. We had all tried the biscuits and gravy. These too were delicious with such a nice balance of flavors. The biscuits indeed homemade. We were all very pleased with everything. Some eggs over easy and bacon cooked perfectly. The coffee honestly the best I've had in years. I'm a coffee drinker and I cannot figure this coffee was outstanding! I had four cups and wish for more ha ha. Best of all I must compliment the service. I have not been to a restaurant of any sort with such attentive service, quality service as we received here in years. The waitress kept refilling my coffee and water, brought my son more soda ( even a container to take his home ) asked everyone if they needed anything at appropriate times and was extremely kind and considerate. I will be back and I highly recommend the Metro Diner for a great meal, quality service and relaxed environment that you will enjoy.
