    Going through some menu changes and a new name. Was always good in the past. Nice place.read more

    This pleasant casual pub is in the clubhouse at the Spring Lake Golf Resort and open to the public!…read more Atmosphere- It's a bright and quite large space with lots of golf kitsch on the walls which is no surprise. There is a bar that seats about a dozen. Pro Tip- If you park as directed by the signs you will be confronted by a formidable set of stairs. If that is a challenge for anyone in your party, swing around to the left of the clubhouse and you'll spot a small parking lot which much easier access. Adult Libations- Full bar. I spotted about ten taps with several popular craft brews and there are a few wines. Customer Service- My excellent bartender/server claimed to have worked there for 14 years. If that's true, they hired her at about age 6 or 7! When I told her that she said she loved me! Food- One-page American pub style menu. You've seen it all before. Fried food, sandwiches, burgers and salads. The lunch special was a pulled pork sandwich topped with slaw with fries & baked beans as sides for about $8 so I went with it. As you can see from my picture it was nicely plated. The bun was buttered and toasted very nicely. The fries were crispy and hot, and the baked beans had bits of pork and onion and were very tasty. Now for the sandwich. As soon as I picked it up, I knew I was in trouble. There was a massive amount of tasty pulled pork and I thought there was no way the bun could handle it. I was right and after eating about 1/3 I finished the remainder with a fork. Note to Chef- If you switch to a toasted Kaiser roll that can handle the load, you've got yourself a 5-star sandwich! Despite the misstep with the incredibly messy sandwich, all the food was very good, and I had a nice time. This Golf Resort is off the beaten path but if you are out that way it's a solid choice for a casual lunch or dinner.

    I always love it when a new restaurant opens in my Highlands County and this place debuted in…read moreNovember. It's a little off the beaten path for me and I'm a lazy ass so it took me until this weekend to get there! Arriving- It's in the clubhouse of the North Golf Course in the Highland's Ridge Community. Follow the signs for that clubhouse or let your GPS do the work. If you are familiar with the area, it was formally The Tavern. Ambience- So this is what a lot of folks would call a Country Club restaurant. As I had patronized the old tenants, I was curious how they were going to transform it into an Irish Pub. The answer is they didn't! It looks nothing like and Irish Pub. It's a large space with lots of natural light and traditional furniture. It has lots of outside seating that's covered with ceiling fans and many seats have a nice view! There is a very small bar that seats about six. In short, it looks like a Country Club restaurant. So much for pub ambience! Customer Service- Awesome, maybe seven stars! I had substantial interactions with the manager, bartender, and a server. All were exceptional. Adult Libations- Definitely not a pub style bar. It's a full bar with just a few taps but nothing special. Food- Like the ambience, it's an American menu with a couple of Irish dishes. There's Bangers & Mash and Shepard's Pie. Other than that, they throw in a couple of Irish terms to deceive you but it's really an American menu. There're enough choices to satisfy most folks. See their website. I ordered Irish Brisket Flatbread- Brisket, bacon, caramelized onions, diced tomatoes, BBQ sauce, mozzarella cheese @ $13. It was out in good time and plated very nicely. Plenty of food for the price so good value. The flatbread was nicely crisp. I love caramelized onions and that's the base here. Everything was very fresh. Plenty of brisket. Unfortunately, the onions overpowered the other ingredients, so the flavors were not balanced. It was tasty but needed a little work to be a winner. Conclusion- If you're looking for an Irish Pub, you're in the wrong place. If you're looking for an American menu that has some potential with a great staff and beautiful outside seating, give it a try. As they are new and the staff is awesome combined with the outside seating, I'm going to be a little charitable and say four stars!

    Stopped by twice and both times were told they only had bar food avail. Waste of time to drive…read morethere for fried food.

The service stands out with friendly, attentive staff who handle orders quickly and provide generous refills, ensuring a smooth and welcoming experience from start to finish. The atmosphere captures that cozy small-town Florida charm, complete with plenty of TVs for catching games, striking a great balance for families or sports enthusiasts without feeling overwhelming. Food highlights include the rich, hearty chili that was so good I ordered a second bowl which was perfect for post-race recovery. The wings were impressive with their crispy texture and delicious barbecue or hot sauces for dipping, while the burger arrived cooked perfectly medium--juicy and satisfying, hitting the spot just right. Non-alcoholic Blue Moon options provided a spot-on beer taste without the alcohol, perfect for athletes or designated drivers, and the sweet potato fries delivered crispy, flavorful perfection that kept the meal on point from beginning to end. Every dish came out hot, fresh, and exactly as ordered, turning this visit into a new tradition--definitely planning to return next year for the unbeatable combo of vibe, service, and food.

There is a small stage inside and larger outside on yet another covered dining area. Staff is pleasant. I had a lunch special chicken sandwich. It was on a regular nice bun. The breast was too thick and for the first time I had to cut uo my sandwich. I will not order that again, maybe flattened then grilled more would have been great. The chips were cold and for being they just opened, tasted day old and stahl. Not best food experience this time. Guest said half the lettuce was limp, not fresh either. Great bartender/ Waitress.

My husband had the burger which he loved. But would have like to see some seasoning on the chips. My daughter got the 8 wing appetizer for her meal with a mix of parmesan and spicy which she devoured. For dessert we got the orange cake and the chocolate. Both were HUGE and so strong I need some milk with those. Overall it was amazing food and they were so nice. The cost those wow keep an eye on that. The service was so much better than the other place. Super nice. And the ambiance was so fun with the license plates and the karaoke. We had a great time and will be back.
