What an amazing surprise tucked away, honestly with not much else around. We were out in…read moreBrooksville and the family got hungry and I found this place on Yelp. We rolled up and didn't know what to expect but soooooo glad we came here. Our kids, who are booghie as hell all said this was the best food we had in a long time and we eat out often. The owner was our server and he was the nicest guy. Told us how it's a small family owned spot which makes it that much more special. We got a lot of food and I can honestly say everything was fantastic. Blackened gator tail was cooked to perfection. Swap soup is outstanding and so is the jambalaya. We each had a different burger and they were all fantastic. I got the one with the shrimp on it and that creole sauce kicked butt. That debris gravy tho . We also had the beignets and kings cake for dessert. Soooooooo much flavor and cooked perfectly. We will be back with the rest of the family to enjoy the cuisine again. This place is a hidden gem.

First i must say the employees here are awesome and so darn friendly! We went for brunch on Sunday there was a wait of about 15 minutes but that's expected during this day and time. Now the food. We could not choose so we did breakfast and dinner and it was so good. True homemade tasty food. The Cajun chicken was so good. The pancakes taste like grandma's homemade recipe. Sausage was awesome and flavorful. Finally the beignets, we're just amazing!!! Please make sure to stop by for some great service and amazing food! Until next review Kisses

Super cute establishment with Florida vibes. All the food I saw guests eating looked scrumptious…read more Walked right in and sat at the bar. Staff was super kind. Opted for the peanut brittle drink which mixed cold brew with peanut brittle whiskey and cream. Saw some cool deviled eggs on instagram which hooked me in here to begin with. However the ones I got were the basic ones from the menu where as the photo I got fished on was for a seasonal version. However they were still good but I was excited to try something a bit different.

We selected Homecomin' primarily because of the variety offered on the brunch menu, so learning…read morethat Chef Art Smith's award-winning chicken was also featured felt like a bonus. What I appreciated most was the flexibility of the menu. There were both sweet and savory brunch options, while the lunch menu was also available. With children, that made a huge difference because no one had to "skip" a meal or feel forced into having breakfast simply because we were dining during brunch hours. The food was a bit of a mixed experience for me personally. The braised greens/kale had an interesting sweet and fermented flavor combination that I'm still deciding how I feel about. The sweet potato mash, topped with a layer of marshmallows, was tasty and definitely a great choice for someone who enjoys sweeter sides. The brined fried chicken was cooked well, but I was a little disappointed that the dark meat was boneless. That is simply a personal preference, as I tend to associate boneless fried chicken more with a chicken tender experience. Overall, the chicken was good, although it wasn't the standout of the meal for me. The kids really enjoyed their selections, including the French toast, Grand-Daddy Plate, and chicken and waffles. My 12-year-old initially ordered a sandwich that didn't quite meet his palate expectations. Within just a few minutes of all of our entrées arriving, a manager came by the table to check on us. Because of her attentiveness and due diligence, we were able to explain the issue and have his meal replaced with chicken and waffles without making the situation feel uncomfortable or difficult. That level of service was greatly appreciated. Jill was also wonderful throughout our visit. She was attentive, patient, personable, and exuded an overall great personality. We chose outdoor seating after the rain had passed, and it ended up being perfect. We were able to enjoy the fresh air, relax, people-watch, and take in the Disney Springs atmosphere while dining. Overall, the variety, flexibility, and service were the highlights of our experience. Even though not every dish was necessarily a personal favorite, the team made the experience enjoyable, accommodating, and memorable for our family.

It's a small spot with only four tables and three seats at a little bar, but don't let the size fool you--the food is delicious! You get an entrée with your choice of mashed potatoes or rice, plus two sides. I had the fried pork chops with mashed potatoes, okra and tomatoes, and a vegetable medley. Everything was delicious and did not disappoint! My husband had the fried chicken with rice, mac & cheese, and corn, and he said it was excellent. And the sweet tea? Five stars! If you're in the Dunnellon area and looking for some good, down-home food, I highly recommend giving Southern Palate a try. Definitely worth checking out!

I decided to do my last magical dining for 2026 here. I made a reservation through OpenTable. I…read moredecided to sit at the bar since it was open, and tried the Capari cocktail for 15 dollars. It was literally bitter sweet, with the sweetness coming from the fruits, and the bitterness most likely from the liquor. It was still a good and refreshing drink. For the appetizer, I had to try their unique and popular pork belly s'mores. It looked like a dessert, but a sweet and savory dish. The pork belly was braised nicely and tender, with the marshmallow adding the sweetness. The homemade crackers were very nice, and the jalapeno added a nice kick. The main dish was the bourbon chicken. It was nicely tender and had a hint of sweetness from the bourbon. The rice went well with the chicken, and the broccolini was perfectly grilled. For dessert, the bread pudding with ice cream was a perfect end. Moist and delicious. It was getting full, so I was able to save some and enjoy at home too. The service was attentive with my bartender checking up with me occasionally. They were quite busy, but still friendly. The dining area looked dark and a bit more formal than last time I visited. But still social and relaxing. I didn't get to see the outdoor patio, but it looked nice from the inside. I parked at the UCF/Valencia garage, which was 3 dollars per hour. Sadly, they don't validate parking. I am so happy I ate at the Monroe for my last magical dining. It's been a while since I eaten there, but the food and drinks are still great. I must say the food was definitely high in calories, sugar, and fat, but it was well worth it. It's just that good in a very nice environment. Definitely will come again when I need southern comfort food! Overall: A
