Was passing through from Gainesville to Jacksonville and Yelp helped me find this little jewel…read more Street parking which was surprisingly easy to find. Was able to park right out front. Don't judge the place by its exterior. Walked in and is a very relaxed, roomy restaurant with table like many of us eat at in yesteryear at home. Country table I think they call it. Big black board on wall with specials. Very detailed menu also. Cell service is not existent inside but I did see and use the guest WiFi. Several ladies serving or taking orders so service was great. Menu is pretty extensive but I finally settled on the Reuben and went with the soup as a side. The Reuben was delicious. Not overloaded like some try to do it but also not lacking. Delicious!. Now I know soup when it is 80 outside but she sold it well. She also did not oversell it as it was as good as she said. Loaded potato with bacon and cheese and broccoli. Wow. Cleaned it all up and washed it down with some truly awesome sweet tea.

Oh wow! We were looking for something different and decided to give Southern Palate a try based on…read morethe other Yelp reviews, and I'm so glad we did! This place is definitely a hidden gem. 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 never "got" how people could rave about fried chicken. To me it was chicken, usually too greasy…read moreand covered in way too much spicy breading to make up for its overall lack of taste...and then I tried Shut Em Down. I have never had such a revelation and change of heart about a single food. This chicken will change your life! I have to drive about 30 minutes or more and 20 miles to get it and I happily do so when I get the "Shut Em Down Cravings" Each piece is individually cooked when you order it so you ALWAYS get hot (sometimes too hot to eat right away despite how much your mouth is watering) pieces of chicken. The sides are also good, though truthfully not nearly as good as the chicken, and you get two with your meal. Oh, and their home made baked good are delicious as well. The staff are friendly and quick to point out the best deal on what you are ordering (there are specials almost every day). Plus the atmosphere is VERY relaxed, sort of a diner meets Cracker Barrel (without all the junk on the wall). It is an overall bargain because it is hard to spend more than about $15 for lunch (including a drink) and you always have some to take home. There are other good fried chicken spots in JAX of course, but this is a GREAT fried chicken spot. Heck, now I've got the darn "Shut Em Down Cravings", guess it is a trip across the river for me soon.

Located in old area of Wildwood and in a bldg that was a bank. Decorated old school and takes you…read moreback a little in time. Limited parking right outside bldg due to area and old part of town. But has a lot of grass parking behind along rail road and also more across street at wildwood city hall. Plenty of choices in menu and I decided to try the Voodoo Mac and cheese and so glad I did. It was really good has brisket in it and fried onions great flavor combo. 3 in our group today. We ordered 2 voodoo Mac and cheese $25 ea and a turkey and bacon sandwich on a croissant roll $18. sweet tea in huge mason jars $4 ea and a homemade lemonade $5.50. Just know going in that the prices are a little high but well worth it as the portions are huge. I ate half of my Mac and cheese and took the rest to go... Highly recommend this place staff was welcoming and friendly and service was really good.

Tiny place that serves breakfast and lunch. Today I ordered the fish basket (cod) with onion rings…read more I was hoping for grandma onion rings in a place like this but they were frozen from a bag. My dining companion had the 1/3 with cheese and bacon and fries. The tea was delicious and I mixed it half and half. They use simply syrup and Martin's liquid tea packages. So old fashioned and good. They carry Pepsi products. My fish were good and the onion rings hot out of the fryer. My friend's burger was very good. If you think about what this diner is, it is simple food done well and inexpensive served in a friendly atmosphere. The oil was new and everything was done well.

I've been coming to Sweet Mama's for a couple of years every time my husband and I visit…read moreJacksonville, so I was a little disappointed with this visit. The pork chop looked good, but it didn't seem seasoned, and there wasn't enough gravy on it to really be considered smothered. My husband's soda also had a strange aftertaste, which wasn't pleasant. On a positive note, the sides were absolutely delicious. The sweet potatoes, butter beans, rice, and cornbread were all flavorful and enjoyable. That's honestly what saved the meal for me. I know every restaurant can have an off day, and because we've had great experiences here in the past, we'll definitely give them another chance. This visit just wasn't up to the standard we've come to expect from Sweet Mama's.

The Monday we stopped in July they had a salad bar, fried chicken, green beans, black eyed peas, broccoli, mash potatoes, limas, bread and a few other dishes in the food bar.

The exterior is clean and simple. When you walk in, it's clean, simple, and a bit Chip and Joanna-esque, which I love. I was quickly greeted and told I could sit anywhere. I was given a menu and their drink menu. After being off coffee for a week, I saw that they make their own coffee syrups, so I got an iced decaf almond milk latte with their salted caramel syrup. While I waited, I looked over the menu. I really wanted to try the french toast or the waffle, but opted for the bacon, egg, and cheese on a croissant and cup of their cheese grits. The latte came out quickly and tasted exquisite. Sometimes you get decaf and it tastes watery, but not this latte. My friend ordered a salad with grilled chicken on top. Everythign came out quickly. The first thing I noticed were the cheese grits. They were delicious. Rich, creamy, and flavorful. Get them. The bacon egg and cheese on a croissant was also really good. They sell coffee at their shop to bring home.
