Closed Sundays and close at 3pm on Mondays
Pat J.

Excellent sweet tea. Catfish fingers and waffle fries were the standouts. Tartar and cocktail sauce were also very nice. Didn't see the Tater Tots until too late, but probably will try them next time. Closed Sundays and only open until 3pm on Mondays. Yelp didn't "know" about the 3pm Monday closing so we arrived starving about 5:30 pm after looking forward to it all day. Bummer.

I ate dinner with my family here tonight. My inlaws have eaten here many times, but it was my first time here and it did NOT disappoint. The restaurant is small with country decor, but the food and service are great. The restaurant was busy but our waitress got everyone's order correct, drinks never ran dry, and everything was out fresh and hot. They have wings, BBQ, catfish, and more. I got the chicken tender and shrimp meal with baked beans and onion rings with ranch. My fiance got the shrimp combo with bacon cheese grits and a side salad with blue cheese dressing. As a daughter of a shrimper I'm picky about my shrimp, but this place had perfectly fried fresh shrimp. The chicken tenders were crispy and juicy. The ranch tasted homemade and it was a nice consistency. The baked beans and onion rings were delicious. The side salad had cheese, tomatoes, and egg as well as homemade blue cheese dressing with big chunks of fresh cheese. I would definitely eat here again. Rating from A+++ to F I give it an A+++!

Catfish sandwich and buttered grits with cheese

After taking a trip to Publix to stock up our fridge in the cabin we are staying in, we stopped here for lunch. This is pretty much the only restaurant in the little town of White Springs. We were able to quickly seat ourselves and were greeted by our server shortly thereafter. She was attentive and friendly the entire time. I don't remember her name unfortunately. The decor is eclectic and the place has a definite local, country vibe. I decided to try the catfish sandwich with a side of buttered grits with cheese. After a short wait, the food came out nice and hot. The grits were tasty and had a generous amount of shredded cheese on the top. I enjoyed my sandwich as well. It had two large pieces of fried catfish. The batter was tasty and it wasn't overly greasy. I could only finish half because it was a big sandwich. The menu is pretty simple, but there's still a good selection so you should be able to find something to try. I'd recommend stopping in for a good meal and good hospitality if you're in the area.

Cheeseburger to go!!

I come here every time I'm in Lake City, servers are friendly and very efficient! The food is as good a reason as any to visit White Springs. I can't pick my favorite, i haven't had anything that doesn't make my mouth water when I think about it LOL

Got the fat belly bigger with cheese. It was good but not the best burger. I'm not sure if it was just dry or not enough seasoning, so I put some bbq sauce to help with it. The waffle fries were delicious, especially with the seasoning. Cannot beat a beer for $1.89.

So I can't confirm it, but Halpatter Brewing Co. seems to be at the heart of all the happenings in…read moreLake City FL. There are so many great things going on here. Especially, the abundance of free parking in downtown Lake City. The Friday night I was there, there was music bingo and a live band. They have live music every Friday and Saturday at the outside stage. Monday is game night. Tuesday is Trivia. Wednesday they have line dancing, including classes for like $5. Thursday is Karaoke!!!! They have a "Culture of Generosity" where you can buy a beer forward. I actually got to be the recipient of one of those free beers. And of course, I paid it forward. The BEER: Seymour-Finnegan's Irish Red Ale 5.7%... smooth slightly sweet great tasting all day crushable goodness Hop Culture IPA 6.5% ABV... looks like a hazy, tastes like a west coast, definitely high in IBUs, has fruity pine nose, good if you love your IPAs extra piney, so very hop forward Pickle Sour 4.5% ABV... oh he11 yummm, I absolutely love this pickle sour. Soooo very good! Rum soaked oak barrel aged Big Hal 7% ABV... there was something I really liked about this. It is a brown ale with a whole bunch of personality Don't have the words though. Big Hal brown ale 6 8% ABV... now I know what I liked about the Rum Soaked Barrel Aged Big Hal this is an all day drinkable brown ale. LOVED IT! I can honestly say I found some fantastic Beer in Lake City, FL. What a wonderful way to spend a Friday evening.

Brewery #390 Cool…read moreold, repurposed government building of some sort. Post office maybe? IDK. Anyway. Halpatter's is a brewery, but they only had 6 of their own beers. They had several guest beers and a couple of vodka sodas on tap. I got my standard flight and wanted to try their beers, so I got a red ale, a wit bier, a pumpkin style and a hazy IPA. Nothing was bad but nothing stood out either. Everything was solid. We didn't eat here but the menu looked solid. They had a Mississippi pot roast (Similiar to an Italian beef) wrap that sounded great. If I were a local, I'd definitely come back to try out the food.

I was out for a ride on the motorcycle and I found myself in Lake City around lunch time, and…read morefigured that there must be something around that would be decent to eat. Looking around for the Mexican restaurant that I used to go to, I found that it had been turned into Two Fat Guys over the years. Alright, I'll give that a go instead! Inside there are a couple of tall tables to eat at, and then a side area for normal table seating to eat at. The ordering system is counter service, and after I went through the menu I went with a standard cheeseburger and some fries along with a drink. The wait wasn't long, and I got my food and sat down. First, the fries... They were limp and not that great. Also, I asked for some hot sauce, only to find out they did not have any. Ketchup, mustard, salt, pepper... That's it for condiments, as I found out from the completely disinterested staff. The burger was alright... not outstanding, but also not bad. My recommendation? If you are hungry for a burger, sure, go for it... get it to go, because the ambiance and staff are certainly not going to be a positive light on your day. Skip the fries, they aren't worth it. Sadly, given this experience I fully expect to see a completely different place here within a couple of years, unless something changes drastically.
