It is extremely unlikely that Bowling Green is your ultimate destination. Why, with a population of…read more2500 folks, it is the very definition of a small town. Most folks are just passing through on Route 17. They are famous because "small town" jokes were invented here. When you pass the "Entering Bowling Green" sign, you can see the back of the "Leaving" sign!" I have more mismatched sox than this town has families! However, it has Gloria's, and I was there for breakfast. Arriving- What a surprise, it's on Route 17! The parking lot is big enough, so I swung my car into a slot and walked right in. Ambience- It's one big box that feels bright and airy because of the high ceiling. A few booths but mostly well-spaced four-tops. A little bit of Western décor but not much. Pro Tip- No Wi-Fi and no hot spots around so you'll be stuck with sloooow 5G! Customer Service- I had some good coffee and a menu in front of me in about three minutes. I perused my menu of standard American fare and as soon as I set it down my server popped over for my order. She was friendly and efficient and so no problems with the service. Food- I ordered a Spinach & Swiss Omelet, Corned Beef Hash, and a Biscuit. It was out in about five minutes and the pre-tip tab including bottomless coffee was $16 and change. Everything was well-cooked and the biscuit was actually steaming when I broke it open. I thought the portions were a little small for the price and the omelet filling was a little stingy. However, everything was tasty. There's not much around this tiny town but they got the job done with three stars. Wauchula is about eight miles away with more choices if you are heading that way.

We like to stop at Paul's Kitchen when we travel through Wauchula. It's got lots of fried food but…read morealso a few grilled items, too. Not a fancy place, in fact a little on the old Florida funky side but for those of you who like a little of that you might want to try it. Today they had lots of specials at reasonable cost especially given the portion sizes. I ordered grilled chicken and shrimp, yellow rice and green beans. All good, but they really believe in butter. Not necessarily a bad thing, just be forewarned. My husband had chicken parmigiana on a bed (king size bed!) Of spaghetti and got enough to feed 3 people. He said it was very good. Note, the chicken was not typical; it was crispy fried chicken cutlet, but tasty. And on another trip I ordered sweet potato fries. They had some kind of flour coating on them. So I've learned to ask questions before I assume things here. The best part is enjoying the feel of a local non-chain restaurant where most of the guests seem to know each other. Oh, and for you sweet tea drinkers, they have the real thing.

This restaurant is highly recommended when you come to Solomon's Castle. Every time I've been the…read morefood has been very comforting and nicely made. Lots of options for a place you wouldn't expect this much to choose from. You can tell owner and long-time manager Alane really cares about this place being successful. Alane is the daughter of Howard Solomon, the creator of the neighboring castle. Many of Howard's family work at the restaurant. The food is good. And the setting is excellent. Inside seating is a large ship built by Howard. There is additional inside seating below the lighthouse that has an artistic tree in the middle. Alane decorates the tree depending on the season. Salads are large with a number of ingredients. The Reuben is tasty and comes with your choice of one side. Crackers brought with the meal are Ritz. Did I say the service is good. Make sure you walk around the restaurant area as there are many decorations, including the risque 'netted' mermaid in the ship.

This is a small restaurant with booth and table seating. As we walked in, we were greeted by a friendly server who instructed us to sit wherever we like. The menu covers everything from breakfast to dinner. My wife and I shared the ultimate skillet, which was one of the specials offered on a Saturday. It was stacked with homefries, vegetables, meats, gravy, and cheese. It was a great value at $15. The flavor was outstanding. I will mention one negative. The parking situation is not good. I did not see many spots available. I just happened to get a spot right in front of the restaurant but I feel like we will struggle to find parking if it's busy. We were provided exceptional service the entire time. I will absolutely return to A&G to try more of the menu.

Many of the tables are unused I believe due to the Covid environment...but if that was a concern perhaps the worn carpet in the restaurant should be replaced too. Skip the interesting take on greek salad (pictured here) and the French onion soup and go for the entree and dessert instead. We ordered two filets, one medium and one medium well and both came out very rare so we sent them back. The asparagus did not look appetizing as it appeared to be over cooked and the red wine sauce looked and tasted like brown gravy. I guess for a $48 steak we expected a little bit more from this wonderful resort. The staff was soo very friendly, apologized and offered to correct. I think next time we will stick to the Italian restaurant for cleanliness and food options.

My friend was getting her drink from the fountain and a fly fell out of the drink dispenser. Both trash cans are overflowing. She asked for another drink cup and we waited another 5 minutes on top of the 20 minutes we waited for our food. When I got my burger it was flat, dry, and had one single pickle slice in the middle.
