Hash browns & Pancake w/ eggs & grits

This best breakfast I have in a good minute. It was good to taste some country cooked breakfast. The service was here wasn't bad at all. Order was put in and food was brought out in a timely manner. The restaurant is off of highway 90 so it can't be missed. The place is nice gave a very southern feel of the restaurant.

I didn't get the breakfast which is served all day, I ordered off the Wednesday lunch special menu. I love liver and onions but they had lots of other choices too like pork chops, fried chicken and other southern faves. The flavor of my liver was delicious! The liver itself was on the thin side but the flavor made up for less thickness. The yams were on point, not overlay sweet and the same goes for the cornbread! I'm not sure how the cornbread was made but I know it's not jiffy, Shirley's recipe is much better. I'm use to my mom's collards so though they were ok they weren't special. The service was great, I determine service base on my server asking if I need anything and they were on point. I had coffee and was asked at least twice if I needed a refill. I was in Lake City for an appointment, arrived early since I've never been to the area and decided to try lunch. I asked the receptionist for a recommendation and Shirley's was the first name out of her mouth. The restaurant was full of locals too, that's the real sign.

License plates

Good food and service with the largest collection of license plates that I have ever seen

Great spot for breakfast and lunch. We had an order of French toast eggs and bacon and country fried pork chops with tater salad. We were definitely satisfied. Neat lil local spot with friendly service and great prices. Give Shirley's a try!

So I can't confirm it, but Halpatter Brewing Co. seems to be at the heart of all the happenings in…read moreLake City FL. There are so many great things going on here. Especially, the abundance of free parking in downtown Lake City. The Friday night I was there, there was music bingo and a live band. They have live music every Friday and Saturday at the outside stage. Monday is game night. Tuesday is Trivia. Wednesday they have line dancing, including classes for like $5. Thursday is Karaoke!!!! They have a "Culture of Generosity" where you can buy a beer forward. I actually got to be the recipient of one of those free beers. And of course, I paid it forward. The BEER: Seymour-Finnegan's Irish Red Ale 5.7%... smooth slightly sweet great tasting all day crushable goodness Hop Culture IPA 6.5% ABV... looks like a hazy, tastes like a west coast, definitely high in IBUs, has fruity pine nose, good if you love your IPAs extra piney, so very hop forward Pickle Sour 4.5% ABV... oh he11 yummm, I absolutely love this pickle sour. Soooo very good! Rum soaked oak barrel aged Big Hal 7% ABV... there was something I really liked about this. It is a brown ale with a whole bunch of personality Don't have the words though. Big Hal brown ale 6 8% ABV... now I know what I liked about the Rum Soaked Barrel Aged Big Hal this is an all day drinkable brown ale. LOVED IT! I can honestly say I found some fantastic Beer in Lake City, FL. What a wonderful way to spend a Friday evening.

Brewery #390 Cool…read moreold, repurposed government building of some sort. Post office maybe? IDK. Anyway. Halpatter's is a brewery, but they only had 6 of their own beers. They had several guest beers and a couple of vodka sodas on tap. I got my standard flight and wanted to try their beers, so I got a red ale, a wit bier, a pumpkin style and a hazy IPA. Nothing was bad but nothing stood out either. Everything was solid. We didn't eat here but the menu looked solid. They had a Mississippi pot roast (Similiar to an Italian beef) wrap that sounded great. If I were a local, I'd definitely come back to try out the food.

When I went, it had two types of fried chicken, meatloaf, and a number of sides. Everything was REALLY good. I'm not a big fried chicken connoisseur. But, if I'm having it, this would be a contender for top recipe. If you are on a road trip or find yourself in Lake City, this unassuming little spot is worth a try. My family enjoyed the food and still comments about what a find this is. Overall: Highly recommended.

It's a typical little neighborhood Cafe with a breakfast buffet and menu ordering. I had the two-egg breakfast with bacon, toast with tater tots (out of hash browns). I requested eggs to be cooked over medium and they were absolutely perfect!!! I was thrilled because this is not a typically happens when I order this type of egg. That tater tots Tasted like they were cooked in fresh oil and the bacon was amazing. A friend ordered the same except with home fries and a hot cake. She was a little bummed at the home fries as they were just sliced & just not what she expected. Her eggs and bacon were also amazing and her hot cake was wonderful. Coffee was nice and strong with good flavor. I visited the restroom and although the building is obviously old it was very clean. Crystal was our server and she was warm and engaging. 10/10. I will definitely visit again when I'm in the area!!

Was traveling to Orlando from Atlanta for the holidays and decided to stop at Maggie's for lunch…read morewhen we got to Lake City. It was maybe 10/15 mins off the highway, so if you're traveling down as well and have some time to stop over I would recommend it. My wife and I got a plate of chicken breast with rice, black beans, plantains, and empanadas. The lady who owns the restaurant was so nice and walked us through the menu and told us a bit about how long they've been in the area. She shared that many of the restaurants nearby have been closing down, so they appreciated us coming in to support their business. Overall, we thought the food was good and everything was cooked to perfection but unfortunately we couldn't finish it because it was entirely too salty. I know seasoning preferences can vary based on the person, so I would still recommend you stop in and try them for yourself, but for me, it was just too much salt to finish the meal.

The food here is excellent. I completely enjoyed the Cuban Stew…read more The Black Beans were fully cooked and delicious. The Rice was cooked perfectly and flavorful. The beef brisket used for the stew was so tender. Maggie, the owner, also the server was wonderful. Such a nice and talkative person. Overall the place was great. I ate outside and it was quite peaceful. The prices are quite high for the amount of food you receive, but the flavor is great.
