Happen to stumbled into this charming little diner last weekend…read more From the moment you walk through the door, the warm, friendly greeting makes you feel genuinely welcome. The staff was super friendly, great has small-town hospitality vibe. Since we stopped for breakfast let's start with the coffee, absolutely fantastic. Rich, fresh, and hot - and they never let your cup get below half full. I swear the waitress had a sixth sense for it because my mug was topped off with a smile before I even realized it was getting low. You don't see that here in Miami. The portions are wonderfully generous without being ridiculous. My vegetable omelette was loaded with fluffy eggs & veges, crispy bacon, and perfectly golden hash browns - and the biscuit! Love me a good southern style biscuit! Everything tasted homemade like someone's grandma was back in the kitchen looking out for you. Best of all? The prices are incredibly reasonable, especially for the quality and quantity you get. I left feeling so FULL that my next meal was dinner. If you're looking for a cozy spot with great food, excellent coffee, and people who actually care about making your visit special, stop by this little diner.

I also ordered the sirloin dinner with fries and the sirloin was so tough. You couldn't chew it. A lot of the food didn't have seasoning. It was very bland, not even salt and pepper. We sat near the window and the windowsill was extremely healthy They had a fly problem with flies flying all around, but it was a diner so what do you Our server was the most lovely southern woman I've met since living in Florida. She was extremely kind and tried her best to fix all of our complaints. She offered us a discount on the food that we didn't eat, and she kept our drink drinks, full, very attentive the service was a 10 out of 10.

This place was absolutely beautiful. I attended an event during their bottomless brunch and the…read morespace alone had me in awe. The ambiance was inviting, stylish, and felt like the perfect setting for a weekend experience with friends. The food overall was good. The shrimp and grits were definitely the highlight for me full of flavor and well done. The steak, however, wasn't my favorite and didn't quite hit the mark. The fruit bowl was exactly that fruit in a bowl nothing special but fresh. The banana pudding was delicious and a sweet way to end the meal. The service was a bit inconsistent, which I believe was due to the waitress being very busy. There were a few moments where we waited longer than expected for menus, straws, or even water. While noticeable, it didn't completely take away from the experience and felt more like a staffing issue than a lack of care. Overall, I would absolutely return for brunch with friends. The atmosphere alone makes it worth another visit, and with the right company, it's a great spot to enjoy a relaxed and beautiful brunch experience.

We visited The Table in DeLand with a group of ten and had an overall good experience, with a few…read moremixed moments. For appetizers, we tried the coconut shrimp, Table tots, spinach dip, and charcuterie. Everything was fantastic except the shrimp, which were a bit overcooked. The rest of the starters were flavorful and well prepared. Most of our group ordered the NY strip since they were out of the filet, while others chose the meatloaf, mushroom pasta, and a few other dishes. Portions were generous and the food was tasty. While the strip wasn't the best I've had, it was cooked perfectly. Dessert was a bit hit or miss. We tried all the pies -- most were decent and nicely presented, though nothing stood out. The salted caramel cheesecake had a grainy texture rather than being smooth. Service was friendly, but a little rushed. Courses came out too quickly, making it hard to enjoy each one before the next arrived. The table became crowded with plates, and the pace felt chaotic at times. The server was kind and seemed possibly overwhelmed. Overall, a good meal with solid food, but pacing and a few execution details could use some attention.

You can't go wrong with the Potato Patch restaurant for breakfast, which is a cozy, family-friendly…read morediner in DeLand, Florida. The menu includes hearty American comfort food and homestyle breakfasts. My dining companion and I arrived on a weekday morning, and the place was bustling with activity. It seems this place is mostly frequently by locals, but the staff were completely friendly and welcoming to us travelers. My darling and companion, and I ordered scrambled eggs, hashbrowns, and we each picked a different style of sausage. The food was good, filling, and deliciously fresh. This restaurant has clearly been around for a long time and by the looks of the happy patrons it should be open four years to come!

I had a taste for some fried chicken and had heard good things about Taste of Soul, so I decided to…read moregive them a try. The restaurant was spacious, clean, and had plenty of seating. It was very warm inside during my visit, and there was a large fan near the front circulating air, so I'm not sure if the A/C was having an issue that day. Since it was uncomfortable inside, I decided to take my meal to go instead. I ordered the 2-piece fried chicken special with white meat, mac and cheese, green beans, and a drink. I also added a piece of cornbread. I'm used to cornbread or a roll being included with a soul food meal, but here the cornbread is considered one of the side options, so I purchased it separately. The service was quick, and the meal was reasonably priced. As for the food, everything was just okay. Nothing was necessarily bad, but there wasn't anything that made me excited about the meal either. The portions were also smaller than what I've received at other soul food restaurants, especially when it came to the sides. I was hoping this might become another option when I'm in the mood for fried chicken and soul food, but based on this first visit, I'm not sure I'd go out of my way to return.

While, it seems that many either strongly love or strongly dislike this local, legendary, vintage…read morerestaurant, I'm going to go ahead and give it four stars! Once you understand that this is a restaurant founded in 1959, housed in a former two story home originally built in 1951, you may come to appreciate the history and understand the vibe. It is truly amazing that this historic restaurant has survived in 2026. I happen to like the uniqueness and honestylye-feel, as if you're at someone's grandma's house. There is plenty of parking directly behind the restaurant and a small lot in ftont of the restaurant. There's parking along the side too. I enjoy the beautiful plants and flowers surrounding the restaurant. Honestly, they can make for a nice photo on a good day. Upon entering, if it's busy, like on Sunday afternoons, you'll find that you'll receive a little card with a number on it. After waiting and listening for your number to be called, you'll be seated. Check the website before you go... You'll be prepared for the hybrid meal service. Some things are served to you at the table and are not unlimited, like soups and desserts. Some things are self-serve and unlimited, like the old-fashioned salad bar and hot vegetables. A server will hand-carve your choice of meat for you. Just "know-before-you-go" by taking a quick glance at the website. Is it five star food? No. Is it just homey country style cooking? Yes. They serve lunch and dinner. They are supported by generations of locals. Lots of people like to celebrate their birthday here. If you bring at least 3 friends to help you celebrate, you'll dine for free. Contrary to many reviews, I've never experienced or seen rudeness. In fact, I've seen staff taking the time to be friendly to guests. When coming here, you can't be super picky about the food - it's not a five star restaurant. Yes, the green beans may be from a can. It's okay, you'll survive! Enjoy the unique experience!

I had the Alice in Wonderland burger, which tasted like a yummy burger and French onion soup had a baby. It was an unexpected combination that was absolutely delicious. Already thinking about how I can make this at home. My friend had the California chicken sandwich, which she enjoyed as well. We both had the seasonal watermelon feta side.... Yum! The space is cute and rustic. The walk up window for the host was pretty great so the staff isn't outside in the Fl heat. I made it a four star review instead of five because our server disappeared during the meal and never returned. Another server did eventually come by to cash us out but no offer of drink refills. Otherwise, a really nice spot for a meal while in town.

While there we noticed a bartender Juan making drinks. I couldn't help but notice the time he took to make sure the presentation of every drink he made was perfect. I got to talking with the young man and asked if he knew how to make a caipirinha ( I am of Brazilian descent and it's like a Brazilian mojito) not only did Juan know EXACTLY what it was but he made it to perfection. Fast forward and we get called to our table only to find out Juan was taken off bar duty and he was our server. He took the best care of the party I brought to Chicas that night. Juan, hopefully you see this. Keep up the good work and continue to care about the work you do as you will go far in life.

It's in a lovely old building which apparently also houses a hotel - gorgeous wooden floors and a warm, inviting interior. Parking lot next to restaurant was full but there is free parking downtown just a block away. It was crowded at lunchtime and they had some big groups, so we had to wait about 10 minutes to be seated. Our server (Maria?) was wonderful. I started with a caipirinha - not often on cocktail menus and it's one of my favorites - it was delicious!). Hubs and I both had the chicken soup and it was amazing - I would come back just for that. Hubs had the pollo à la plancha - the chicken was ok but the black beans were definitely the star! The tostones as a side were stone cold and very tough to chew - it was sadly our least favorite thing (and I LOVE tostones!). I had a beef empanada and a chicken empanada - they were ok.
