We drive 20+ minutes to go there when there is a place 3 minutes away. I always get the rum raisin ice cream. Brings back memories of living in Germany and by far the best rum raisin ice cream wd have had in the US. We try to visit once a week or biweekly - we need to do all we can to support places like Larue's to keep them in our community. These mom and pop places are what makes this area so desireable.

Yum! This great little Ice cream place is perfect!…read moreLocate in the Historic District of Dunnellon, It is just what our little town needs. We asked for mix in ice cream blizzards, and got exactly what we were looking for, with a smile to go with it. They are within walking distance of our home, and they will be a frequent destination for us from now on. They are open just late enough too.

first off, the food is fantastic. my favorite is the tomato pie paired with tomato basil soup…read more That combination alone keeps me coming back. Their teas are tasty, some are more to my taste than others. our favorite is the apricot. Each person gets a delicate china teacup and a ceramic pot full of tea, making drinking it a unique experience in this day of ceramic mugs or paper cups. Next, the atmosphere is cozy. Individual, unique tables paired with different chairs, so a guest wanting a hard chair can have one while another might like a more cushioned chair. Antique collars and purses hang from the ceiling. China teapots and cups decorate the shelves along the walls. Lace curtains hang in the windows. no canned music. Do you need a unique gift? There are various tissue holders - some shaped like birdhouses, others like a teapot for sale. or cushions, or soaps. As you wait for your food, wandering around or just looking around is a feast for the eyes. Hat racks full of hats and costumes adorn nooks and are for wearing to the afternoon teas. We have not done that yet, still enjoying the lunch visits. I would recommend making a reservation though. the tea room is not spacious, and we have seen walk ins turned away for lack of room. but for us, the highlight is the interaction with the owner. NOT for the snooty or stuffy customer. If you get offended when the owner jokes with you as he takes your order, PLEASE don't come here. Your attitude embarrasses us all. His demeanor is like that gruff old man who accepts that he has to repeat the specials, but who can't resist chiding you about it. All the staff is wonderful, but he stands out with his banter. For a lunch, or just tea and a scone, definitely try Sweeties.

My Wife got the classic Roast beef dinner and I got a Hot Turkey sandwich with mashed potatoes. 16 and 13respectively.

At the cash register was a big sign that states: "Cash only". There is an ATM machine right by the cashier. Hence, the 4 stars. We ordered our food : beef empanadas, masitas, fish sandwich, Cuban sandwich, steak sandwich and ropa viejo. For drinks, we had iced teas and sodas. They came in huge, heavy glasses - like a tankard! I would say that the portions were large in general. Everyone loved their food. I enjoyed the ropa Viejo -it was very flavorful. The beef was tender and tasted very good. Our servers were friendly and efficient. They refilled our glasses constantly Will definitely come back here if we are back in the area. Just have to remember to bring cash!!

Not sure I have ever seen an adult working, but these "kids" know what they are doing and provide great service. The food is good. I have had burgers, hot dogs, grilled cheese, fries, onion rings and tots. I have to say that I am not a fan of the root beer. I like root beer and don't claim to be a connoisseur, but know that in-house recipes can sometimes be a bit different than the traditional canned sodas. Also, the onion rings are good, but I am a value seeker and can get a hamburger or other entree with meat for $2-$3 less. Paige's has now become one of our Dunnellon stops when in the area.

For the past four months I've passed by so many times and say next time. Today was next time…read more I wanted to love it. But I can't. I ordered a single cheeseburger, small fry and a root beer. Wish they offered a combo of some sort as it was $13. The root beer was my pull to come here (obviously!) and I had such high hopes. Unfortunately it was flat and tasted watered down. It came straight out the tap and my mouth was watering waiting for it. Just didn't taste good, maybe my expectations were too high. The cheeseburger was the size of a McDonald's cheeseburger. It wasn't horrible but I was expecting something to sink my teeth into. It was just simply "ok". The French fries were the highlight. Hit, crispy, yummy. That's the best part of the meal. The atmosphere is like a diner and I was met with a very nice young man who greeted me and pleasant. The service was quick. They had Christmas music playing and I was about to read a book while enjoying my meal as I as the only one there but shortly after I sat down a guy came in and chatted away on his cellphone which was on speaker (no etiquette dude!). I don't feel the price tag matches the meal I ate. But kudos to the hospitality!
