Some places just hit you right in the heart, and today The Mason Jar did exactly that…read more The first time I ate here was about 12 years ago. It quickly became my mom's favorite restaurant after she moved to the area, and whenever I came to visit, she couldn't wait to bring me here. I still remember how good the fried chicken was back then. My mom passed away 8 years ago, and I hadn't been back since... until today. Friends of ours moved from Ohio to Florida and live not too far from The Mason Jar. They kept talking about this amazing comfort-food spot they couldn't wait to take us to. As you've probably guessed by now -- it was The Mason Jar. The moment it clicked, I had a smile on my face and a tear in my eye. Everything felt just like I remembered: great food, friendly staff, and that warm, welcoming atmosphere. The only thing missing was my mom. In her honor, I ordered the fried chicken again. It came with three sides, and I chose coleslaw, fried okra, and mashed potatoes. It was absolutely delicious -- comforting, flavorful, and exactly how I remembered it. If you're looking for a place that's more than just a meal, somewhere that helps create memories, this is that kind of place. Thank you, Mason Jar, for the memory. It meant more than you know.

Nothing hugely remarkable, the same decor I'm assuming they've had forever, but the roast beef was very good. The sides were gigantic. No complaints and well worth the stop if you're in the area.

I was out with family visiting the Mount Dora area and we wanted something quick and simple to eat…read more Believe it or not, I have not eaten at a Chick-fil- A since before the pandemic. I just prefer not to eat fast food if I can help it, but I wasn't always like that. When I was in high school I remember eating these huge, and absolutely delicious chicken sandwiches from Chick-fil-A Friday's after school. The sandwiches were so huge that I could barely finish it. Fast forward to now as I looked at this sandwich that came out of the bag and Immediately started laughing at the sheer tiny size of it. My family looked at me like I had lost my mind. So now in 2026 you're looking at paying close to $11 for a childs size chicken sandwich, fries, and a drink. It's like they want to persuade you to not eat Fast Food by shrinking the size of it and charging so much more. What I enjoyed most however was the rice dream soft serve. Great price, very delicious. I also have to say, the kids working here were so polite and courteous; I was really impressed.

Today is Friday - and that calls for a cheeseburger. Not just any cheeseburger, but a single patty…read moreButterburger from Culver's and let's make it a value meal! I like this nearby location in Mount Dora because a) I have the app where I can score points for Rewards (value meal today scored me 99 points!), b) it's easily accessible with a drive-thru and lots of parking, and c) the staff are always friendly. I also appreciate that whenever I visit a Culver's someone is walking around cleaning up. Finally, these days I feel a value meal should land somewhere around the $10 mark - like my meal today did. My cheeseburger was delicious and came with lettuce, tomato, (raw) onion, ketchup, and mayo. Although the cheese was barely melted on the patty, the bun was a touch cold, and the sweet tea was pretty weak, I am still grateful that my food was good, the bun was not stale, and I didn't experience any "rumble tummy" afterwards. There are many fast food options out there - I still see Culver's as a solid choice. And don't even get me started on the sinfully delicious custards - YUM!

I had a single mushroom Swiss burger and fries combo and it was delicious.

The dining room is slightly smaller than other Zaxby's, but there is still plenty of seating, both booths and tables. As usual it's freezing cold in there, so bring a jacket. Server was friendly and knew what she was doing (including applying my reward from the app). They give you a number for a stand on the table, instead of calling your name. Big disappointment that they don't have a free-style Coke machine- but they have about 10 soda options, including Coke Zero. My food was delivered quickly and it was as tasty as always.

If Hallmark made a brunch movie, it would be filmed at BTW in Tavares--especially at Christmas. We…read morewent for Sunday brunch during the holidays, and this place was decked out floor to ceiling like Santa personally said, "Needs more décor." The food? Absolute holiday magic. The eggnog French toast tasted like Christmas morning in carb form, the banana foster waffle with candied pecans was indulgent in all the right ways, and the French toast with blueberry compote and lemon curd was the perfect sweet-tangy mic drop. Every bite was better than the last. The staff was friendly, attentive, and moved with the cheerful efficiency of elves who've had just the right amount of coffee. Fair warning: it's a small spot and they don't take reservations, so we showed up about 30 minutes before they opened at noon--and it was 100% worth it. Come hungry, come early, and come ready to leave very full and very happy. BTW has officially earned a spot on our "must-return" list--Santa approved.
