My wife and I heard about this place and had to venture out?! WOW, the food was delicious and the owners a delight! Two wonderful people all the way from Chicago. We had Manicotti on our last trip and chocolate peanut butter icing cake! Yea I know lots of calories!! Lol WELL WORTH THE SACRIFICE that night. Yes I guess you figured it out we ve been more than once and are on our way AGAIN this weekend! It's a little hike to Lamont but you won't be sorry, trust me! read more

My husband and I stopped into Flatwoods Cafe while traveling through to Dunedin. Tired of fast food and wanting a true meal. This spot delivered. The first thing I saw was the beautiful wood fired oven. I LOVE pizza. In fact, I'm a pizza snob. Been to Naples Italy, the birthplace of the best pizza. The owner created a magnificent pizza for us, beautifully made. We were so impressed with this little gem that we might make a trek back just for the pizza. A special place, please stop in. Thank you! read more

They have the best food here. You can go wrong by stopping by. There Ribeye is fabulous. Country cooking is awesome.

Excellent food. My wife had a salmon platter, which she said was excellent. I had grilled fish that was tasty as well. Good portions. Friendly prompt service. Will definitely do again. read more

Ended up here with a coworker on our way from Tallahassee to Perry. What a hidden gem!!!! They had a variety of food options. I enjoyed my buffalo chicken sandwich. My coworker had the pork chop dinner. The portions sizes were great and at a good price. The waitress was lovely and attentive to our table. From the outside I would have never expected for the food and serves to be good. Best way to describe this place is "Don't judge the book by the cover". I will be back. read more

A little out of the house way but a nice place. The pizza was suburb. The staff and crowd was very friendly.

No idea where the few bad reviews came from, especially the one about the "crazy old lady" and "tweakers" working the kitchen. I can honestly say as a local that frequents this place regularly they definitely had a change in kitchen staff and I'm assuming that review was around the time that things were being changed. The food is delicious, i know most of the kitchen staff personally and can say they're are definitely NO "meth tweakers" working there. The crazy old lady, whom is the owner's mother btw works her ass off and was probably just having a bad day, especially if she was having kitchen staff issues, and if the staff was being treated like garbage it's highly unlikely they'd even be working there. The food is delicious, fresh and homemade on premises, the pizza is the only good pizza around (I'm from NY so i know good pizza) and I've tried about 20 pizza places in the surrounding areas. The desserts are always fresh and also homemade. All i can say is don't let one or 2 crappy reviews sway u from trying them out, they truly are a family owned and worked business and the staff is treated like family. And also the service is excellent and the bathroom is spotless at all times. Try them put u wontbe disappointed, and be sure to try one of Angie's (the crazy old lady) desserts they are delicious!! Sorry but i had to write a rebuttle to that crappy review since I'm a local i have probably eaten here o er 100 times and never had those issues,everyone's entitled to a bad day and unfortunately this guy must have stopped in on a "bad day". But believe me it is ot a reflection of the whole restaurant in general...check them out! Get the pizza u will never be disappointed!! read more

What a hidden gem! Stopped by on the way home from our family vacation. Took a chance and wow! We all had burgers that were great. Inside decor looks awesome. They have a real wood fired pizza oven, which we will be trying out during next visit. read more

Was just passing through and decided to stop for lunch! So glad we did! Great staff and customer service!

On the main street through Lamont, Don't let the exterior throw you off. The fried eggplant was delicious. We had the crawfish ettoufee and chicken spinach crepes off the blackboard menu. The white bean chicken chili was to die for. Something for everyone, pizza, burgers, wings, to crepes and fried pork chops with so much in between. The desserts are home made. Definitely worth the 6 mile detour off of I-10. Don't pass it by!! read more

Don't let the exterior scare you off. Inside, its very nice. More, the food is excellent. I went with a pizza. Outstanding!

Stopped in for lunch and thoroughly enjoyed the meal. The Italian roast beef sandwich was delicious . My husband was pleased with his hamburger and wings. The calzone on the adjacent table was the size of a throw rug, and my fellow diner deemed it excellent. Not surprising, as a glance into the kitchen revealed a wood-fired pizza oven. Good food and nice people at this little junction in the Florida flatwoods. We will be back and would recommend to those weary travelers who are also weary of chain restaurants and fast food. read more

Great place and food! Really enjoyed my pizza. Love the rustic furniture and bar! Make a point to stop here! You won't be disappointed. This was a highlight of the road trip my husband and I took from Palm Harbor, FL to Pensacola, FL. read more

I'm sure you have heard don't judge a book by its cover. That couldn't be more true with this place . When I first walked in it was nice and inviting a very good feel , after getting our drinks that's when the cover started to melt away like a bad trip and the gates of hell opened up it started with this crazy old lady treating the wait staff like absolute garbage and got no better from there some quit one was fired for no reason I could tell other then this lady was a nut job. Now let's move on to the head cook or who I assume was the head cook probably the old ladies younger lover he was arguing with her and his kitchen staff which seemed to be tweakers if your not sure what that is it's people that use meth all sorts or weird movements arms just flailing about I thought it had to be a dream right but no way this was a nightmare After all said and done there was no staff left in this place just the crazy lady and her boy toy yelling at each other so we just got up and walked out nobody was even worried about us not paying . I will never return and I'm sorry for the ones who do they must be the worst if a nice little town called Lamont these people need some help I mean mentally but prob staff as well so if you decide to visit bring your own popcorn and enjoy the show italian on ice , crystal meth that is . Oh the food was sub par I guess it's hard to remember after all that. read more

Hot fresh honest food. We just bought some land here in Lamont and found everything closed on Sundays. Flatwoods was open for lunch so we gave it a try. Great patty melt and Rubin. You would drive right by if you you didn't know how good it is. read more

The food was exceptional and the service was outstanding and this place is worth visiting off the beaten path. We stop there on our way to New Orleans. We will be back, thefood is very very good and the owner and chef is very nice read more

The pictures looked great, so we took a chance while driving through town. We were not disappointed. The pizzas were delicious - crisp and piping hot! The Cuban was good, collards just right and fries crispy and fresh from the fryer. Our server and the chef worked together to accommodate our daughters food allergies, and she enjoyed her hamburger and green beans thoroughly. We can't wait to enjoy the homemade dessert we brought with us tonight! Overall - a clean, friendly, fantastic find. So glad we stopped! read more

So impressed with Flatwoods. Food was cooked to perfection and a good variety. The black and blue salad was well presented with tender flat iron steak. Best fried green tomatoes and patty melt with grilled onions I have ever eaten. Friendly helpful service. Well done, Flatwoods. We'll be back! read more

Great service, great food, wood fired pizza oven is the bomb. Worth the drive to avoid the virus scared masses and protesters in Tallahassee! read more

Great place to stop for lunch or dinner. We got a pizza, which they will let you customize. The vegetables taste fresh and the crust was a nice thickness. The interior is very nice, service is fast and friendly, and prices are reasonable. read more

If I could 0 stars I would. We waited for over an hour and a half for food for a party of 5. The food came and 3 of the spaghetti and meatballs hardly had sauce and we had to ask for me and they admitted to not having enough made. We also ordered a chicken Alfredo and it came out cold. The waitress said they probably didn't heat it up in the microwave all the way. The burger was burnt and you could tell it was a frozen patty. Will not come back. Completely disappointed. read more

Great food and service. Enjoyed a pizza and Philly cheese steak. Highly recommend a stop here.
