    This restaurant embodies the word "Florida cracker". I pleasantly enjoyed my experience. The food was fantastic. I ordered the chipped pork with green beans and coleslaw, and you can't forget the sweet tea. Cherish, one of the employees, was so kind and thoughtful during our visit. The homemade sauces along the wall were great. They also have an outside area where they hold events, along with a gift shop. 10/10!

    Quick stop in Brooksville to check out Florida Cracker. Full disclosure, I'm not an eat spicy anything kinda woman. Germany just doesn't have spicy in their culture, maybe curry wurst? I regress. The kids wanted fish, none at this location. Then they wanted cheeseburgers, again not at this location. So they settled for chicken tenders and a side of fries. Two out of three enjoyed the tenders and fries. The third did not, "tastes like pickles," but did enjoy the fries. I originally was going to try the chicken sandwich but I could only eat it unbreaded (as the breading is spicy), so I opted to pass (I don't want a plain piece of chicken either). I then decided on Mac n Cheese Boat and it was delicious, perfect southern Mac! We enjoyed the lemonades and free refills and the kids played happily outdoors on the nice playground. Service was friendly and brought the food out to us. The outside is well maintained and I enjoyed the little cook shack mercantile. Seeing other customers around us and they all appeared happy with their food. Sorry I couldn't provide more details on the Southern food, like I said, spice ain't my thang.

    Not gonna lie, the name Florida Cracker Cook Shack threw me off and I almost left. But glad I stayed and learned a "cracker" is an early white settler to the area mainly farmers and ranchers. This place is casual with big picnic tables inside and out, so you can stay or take food to go. Fans outside to cool off while eating. There are even alcohol options. Outside area is large and spacious with fenced areas for kids to run around. Food was good. Kinda bland, but nothing some salt or hot sauce can't fix. I enjoyed the fried pickles best. Batter not too thick, different spice levels (for a price), and a larger serving. I note my price did not match what was listed on the advertisement board. Overall, I enjoyed the food. Good portions, affordable, and cooked well. Service was quick and people were friendly. I would definitely go again if in the area. They close early so note the time.

    We had a great meal! Chopped Pork and Brisket platters were great! We shared sides French fries, baked beans, potato salad Mac n cheese and we got an extra side of Cole slaw. Everything was great! Staff were friendly and helped pick a few of the best sides. I've never had potato salad that look like that but it was probably one of the best I've had. Can't wait to come back and bring the grandkids to play!

    Food is delicious! We got take out. Brisket, bacon Mac and cheese, dirty beans, fried green tomatoes, and slaw.

    We don't typically eat a lot of fried chicken tenders, but we are glad we made an exception for a quick bite here. These were truly the best chicken tenders we ever had. Very tasty and we loved the sauce selection. The Garden Patch salad with turkey and the smoked turkey plate were very good as well. The awesome service was icing on the cake. Definitely worth returning for.

    Florida Cracker Cook Shack is the truth. Hot chicken sandwich was amazing. Not overly breaded. Juicy tender meat, the coleslaw is fantastic and nice crisp pickle. The brisket was a solid 8/10, and the Cesar was fresh and delicious. Well balanced meal hahah, will be back to try other items and dine in. The sauces were incredible. Wait staff was friendly and inviting, restaurant was clean. Outdoor space is beautiful.

    It's hot dogs, what else is there to say. The service is always good and very attentive. Seating in air conditioning is limited.

    My family and I showed up during Brooksville's Tangerine Festival. I heard Green Door had a…read moreTangerine cake(while supplies last) just for this occasion. When finally seated the last slices of cake had gone. The owner assured me there was one more cake being delivered in about 15 minutes, so I sat with my family and we ordered a light lunch. I ordered the Smoked Gouda Cheese Wedges...where has this been all my life?!?! Creamy rich with orange blossom honey, and applewood smoked bacon just a killer combination! The caked showed, and it did not disappoint decadent and sweet, yet balanced by the tangerine citrus. The reason I came didn't disappoint and my family loved it as well. It was truly an awesome cake, so thank you so much! The service was great as well, very attentive on such a busy day, Chantel made it seem we were a priority. The feeling at the Green Door is inviting, while offering sense of exclusive indulgence without being over the top. Thank you everyone who made our first experience one to remember. We will be back!

    My wife and I spent a quiet New Year's Eve at Green Door on Broad in Brooksville, and it was the…read moreperfect way preparing to ring in 2026. As frequenters of their Dade City location Green Door on 8th, we were excited to see how this spot compared. I am happy to report that it maintains the same high standard while offering a unique charm of its own. The ambiance was cozy, providing an intimate and welcoming atmosphere that felt special for the holiday. Our server, Delaney, was outstanding. She was attentive, personable, and ensured that her timing was perfect throughout our dining experience. We started our evening with the smoked gouda, one of our favorite appetizers, and a round of their red sangria. The gouda was rich and flavorful, and the sangria was perfectly balanced--a great start to the meal. For our main courses, my wife ordered the shrimp and grits, which was prepared beautifully. My wife reported there was a definite spicy kick to the sauce. I opted for the evening's special, a bison ribeye served with "cowboy butter" and creamy mashed potatoes and smoked brussel sprouts as sides. The bison was cooked to perfection (medium rare), and the smokiness of the sprouts added a fantastic depth to the dish. We were too full to eat dessert at the table, so we took a slice of chocolate cake to-go. Whether you are a regular from Dade City or a Brooksville local, this location is a must-visit.
