This little place is deceiving. When driving by, it is easy to think to yourself, "Gee, probably not much interesting in this little town," and while it might be reasonable to think such a thing, this little cafe is worth the stop. The beet salad is quite good. The pizza is solid. The desserts are tasty. There are always lots of specials to go along with the regular menu fare. It honestly reminds me of a New Jersey-style diner doing its thing in rural Florida. The friendly service is top-notch, no long wait for drinks, refills, etc. read more

Flatwoods Cafe - Specials March 27, '26. I had the corned beef and cabbage. The beef was fork-tender, although I like my cabbage with a bit more texture. - Italian Near Me - Lamont, Florida

We were driving up Hwy 19 towards I10 on our way home and decided to stop and grab a bite to eat before we hit Tallahassee. We were not disappointed. This small cafe had a welcoming atmosphere with friendly staff that engaged you and asked about your travels. The food is Americans/Italian. We were not disappointed in anything we ordered. I strongly recommend the bacon wrapped dates as an appetizer. They have a nice variety with daily specials. If we ever pass by this way again, we will be stopping here again. read more

The garlic cheese bread appetizer was delicious and the marinara sauce wonderful! The cheese-bread was an entire cheese pizza! This visit, I ordered the eggplant appetizer and was given a choice of sauces. The marinara sauce won. For lunch I ordered the lasagna with meatballs. My dining companion ordered colossal burger with onion rings. OMG. I want to move in here. The sauce is homemade, the lasagna homemade and the crust on the garlic bread made in house. The colossal burger was perfectly cooked according to request, but the meat was very well flavored with good, crispy bacon. My eggplant appetizer was crispy and perfectly fried served with that great sauce for dipping. The lasagna- so good. Perfectly balanced with noodles and contents. The meatball was delicious with a hint of sweetness to it. The dessert list was long and looked fantastic. All were made in house. The service was top notch and the chef delightful. Make your way here but don't pass it! read more

We love this place!!! An awesome option if you are wanting a great meal on your next road trip. The service is phenomenal. Our kids are treated so well and love the coloring pages/toys. The food is really incredible, their pizza is some of the best we've ever had. Highly recommend this restaurant, it's quickly becoming our new favorite place to stop at! read more

Wow stopped to have a beer and ended up grabbing 3 Togo meals for tonight and lunch tomorrow. Really nice folks. As far as decor it's really nice. The wait staff are friendly too. The food was great. I ordered the pork chops, Santa Fe salmon for the missus and for my lunch "dinner" a Cuban sandwich and onion rings. Very good folks and food. read more

Yum! Amazing homemade food! The sweet potato fries with the dipping sauce were delicious as was the mahi mahi.

Flatwoods Cafe was an excellent find. Truly homemade food. Bacon wrapped dates for the appetizer was delicious. Wife had manicotti and best pasta we've had since Italy trip. I did the sirloin steak which was delicious and perfectly cooked. Homemade bread pudding for dessert was a great finish. It was absolutely worth the drive. We will be back soon. Service was excellent too and inside is well decorated. read more

Super cute hole in the wall. We had mozzarella sticks as an appetizer and a pepperoni pizza. I am a pizza snob and the dough and sauce were fantastic! If you're in the area don't miss this delicious but super cute and friendly place! read more

Food and service were both great. Ambiance was a little funky, but that is the point of this repurposed building. It's a bit of a drive for me, but worth it. read more

Who would have guessed that in the middle of nowhere there is a gem of a restaurant. While traveling the back roads of Florida I found this place here on yelp. I think it was listed as an Italian restaurant but that doesn't really do it justice. Pizza is probably the star of the show here and we had a white pizza with spinach and feta. As good as it gets! We had side salads and tried the fried green tomatoes too. All were delicious. The menu had dinners ranging from broiled salmon to liver and onions. Burgers, wings and sandwiches too. And don't let the run down exterior chase you away. When I got there the parking lot was full. Otherwise I might have not gone in. Glad I did! Great service. Clean restroom. Plenty of parking. Give it a try if you're within 50 miles. read more

The epitome of "hidden gem". Wish they were open more days of the week. Some of us don't have traditional weekends, but I also understand the demand probably just isn't there to justify it. Whatever you gotta do to stay open, I'll take it! read more

My husband and I decided to try this place after seeing a review on it. It was a bit of a drive for us from Tallahasse but it was well worth it. The place was cute and inviting inside. We tried fried eggplant, liver and onions, a burger with fries and a piece of cheesecake. Everything was good. We talked with the owners for a bit also. The only downside is you could easily pass it and miss it as the bldg is turned sideways so the front is somewhat hidden. There is a sign with tree branches saying its name and there is a small sign on the ground saying pizza. Maybe some advertising or more signs before approaching would be helpful. We do plan to return. read more

We stopped here for lunch after nothing sounded good in Perry. We had the pick 5 veggie pizza and it was delicious. The waitresses were constantly making sure we had been waited on and our pizza came out pretty quick once we ordered. We would definitely eat here again. read more

It really was pretty darn good pizza. We shared a salad and an appetizer of fried green tomatoes. Loved those tomatoes. Service was prompt and the room was 'old timey'. We would come again read more

Outstanding find driving from Tallahassee to Tampa. Dog friendly, amazing service, delicious food, and great value. We'll certainly be back!

I can't give any less than 5 because this place is incredible. The food is awesome! Leave room for those homemade desserts! This is the type of place that makes you feel like family. Feeds you super well and makes you want to come back. I ate: Fried Green tomatoes (never tried them before and omg so good) - Chicken Parm with Angel hair pasta - Turtle Cheesecake (blew me away). Girlfriend had: Grilled Cheese w/ fries (really cheesy and grilled nicely) - 4x boneless chicken wings - Bread pudding in a rum sauce (GF was blown away... Said she hasn't had one like that since was a little girl growing up in Puerto Rico). read more

My husband had Flatwoods Burger served with fries. Burger was tastey and big, cooked perfectly, the fries are fresh, and crisp but not over cooked. I had the Black and Blue strak salad, nice size salad, steak cooked to perfection, tasty salad but didn't come with tomatoes. Service is fast and friendly. A family style setting with local flare. Owner stopped by to ask how everything was, which is a super nice touch that you don't get anywhere now of days. read more

We were on the interstate, passing through, and were lucky enough to stop here for dinner. It was about a ten minute detour, but well worth it. Delicious homemade food, excellent service and very clean restroom. The owners were very friendly and came by our table to check that everything was good and to wish us a Merry Christmas. They also recommended the dessert menu which is all homemade. Wish we saved room! read more

Great supreme pizza! I'd say it's up in my top 5! Super friendly peeps and was such a nice spot to take a break on our way home after evacuating for Milton! Will definitely seek this place out on our next road trip through the area!! Thank you for hosting us! read more

Passing through the area, we were looking for a good place to eat. We didn't want to eat at any of the chain restaurants, but rather hoping to find one of those local hole in the wall type places offering great food. We found it at Flatwoods Cafe. The staff are all friendly and all the food homemade. The food was delicious and the portions were large. This is definitely a place worth visiting and eating at. I know we'll go there again when traveling through the area. read more

The food was amazing and everything here was super cool. They had a fire wood furnace to cook pizza and the service was really nice. We got our food right away and it was super good. The whole restaurant was good and they make custom desserts and everything which is all amazing. I personally think that you should go here to eat if you are in Lamont. read more

Great food. Great service. Great ambiance. Terrible signage! Apparently, my wife and I have driven past this place once or twice a year for about 10 years and have never seen it! read more

The cutest little place which you would never know from the outside, we were in a rush and they got us out so fast with a delicious pizza. When we go by again we'll stop and actually enjoy the experience! If you're near here definitely stop in! read more

Great pizza! I always stop by when I e are inn town! Great friendly service. The Owner always says hi to us as well. They have these pizza bite things I don't recall what they are called but they are delicious. The beet salad is yummy. read more

This restaurant doesn't look like much from the outside but inside is where the charm lies. Rhonda greeted us right away and we got to choose our seat. There's a menu board with daily specials or you can go off the menu for your selection. I got the black and blue salad and my husband picked the cheeseburger with French fries. Everything was cooked perfectly and the meats were tender. Worth coming back. read more

Omgoodness best food ever!!!! The atmosphere was pretty cool too. Will be back as often as possible. Service was great as well.

Based on the ratings we decided to give it a try and we weren't disappointed. Just like they said it was fantastic- we had the cheese sticks for an appetizer and the sauce was the delicious. Not too sweet, thick and seasoned perfectly. For the main course we tried the calzones- pulled pork and pepperoni, sausage and mushrooms. They were huge, each was enough for two easily. Just means leftovers for both of us, yum. The service was friendly and the owner/operator was very attentive to us and the locals that were there. Nice to see. You can tell he has a lot of pride in his restaurant. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone local or just passing through, but bring an appetite:0) read more

I ordered the chicken Alfredo today and it was great, just the right amount of sauce. My only small complaint is there was to much black pepper in it. I'm not a fan of pepper. But other than that, delicious! read more

We pulled off I10 roughly half way through a 7 hour trip. Decided we wanted something different from regular fast food we could get at home and decided to check Google. They were only about 10 minutes down the road and the food looked good so we thought we'd at least check it out and have an adventure. It was FANTASTIC!! It was very busy when we first got there, but even though everyone was obviously multi tasking, the service was still better then many places I've been to recently, with very friendly people all helping each other to make sure we were taken care of and very willing to answer questions. My daughter ordered the fried pork chop meal with 2 sides and I went with the margarita pizza, since I've always wanted to try one with the added bonus it was being cooked in the wood burning oven. The pork chop was perfect. Crispy flavourful crust with juicy tender pork. My pizza was all I thought it would be and more from all the times I've seen it on cooking shows. Before we left we were already trying to plot when we might be able to go back. The interior was so clean and neat, you would have thought they had just opened for the day, instead of just starting to finish an overflowing parking lot of Sunday lunches. It has a very welcoming, warm feeling, that is only increase by the staffs attention and obvious pride in the place. I can guarantee that if we find ourself in the Tallahassee area, we will try to find an opening to return there. Our meals, with drinks, was less then $40 and we both left full, happy and with leftovers. read more

My husband is staying at a campground close by while he works and we were visiting him... we wanted pizza and this was the closest place. DON'T BLINK or you will pass right by it, and I promise you don't want to miss this place. It took a minute for anyone to realize we sat down but that was the only hiccup. The beers were ice cold, the service was good and very welcoming, and the pizza was AMAZING!! Great great crust with the perfect chew. I'm sure it we come to visit again at the campground before we buy a house we will be back! read more

Heading home to Tampa from Tallahassee and we wanted to get out of Tallahassee before eating. Went to Yelp to find a place to eat and there aren't many options once you leave Tallahassee. Luckily, we found Flatwoods café. They were very welcoming from the moment we opened the door. The food was excellent and the service was just as good. There were three of us and we ordered a pizza, spaghetti, and the chicken Parm. All were great. I always prefer to support small businesses when we are able and this place is definitely worth stopping. An extra bonus is that it was very easy access to I 10. read more
