    Morriston, FL? I can't be the only one who had never heard of it. To add emphasis to my ignorance I should mention I had lived two towns away for 2 1/2 years before discovering it. It's the true definition of the middle of nowhere. That being said, my expectations weren't high for Willard's. I assumed minute steak and fish out of a Gorton's Fish Sticks box. I'm happy to report I couldn't be more wrong! Willard's is out in the middle of horse country and it truly is a beautiful drive from my home about 20 miles away. It doesn't look like much from the outside but the inside is a lot more cozy. We were there early evening on a Saturday night and there were only five people at the bar and one table with a dining family. Right away we were greeted by our very friendly server and shown to a booth with some kind of horse implements on the wall (we know nothing about horses but determined it wasn't reins or a bridle... ). We ordered fried pickles and Wisconsin cheese curds for appetizers. Both were great. We loved the breading on the pickles and loved that they were actual spears as opposed to pickle chips. My husband got homemade coleslaw. I'm not a big fan of coleslaw but I must say, it was pretty darn good. They came with crackers as well. I got a salad which was the typical iceberg lettuce salad which was okay. For dinner I ordered the sirloin and my husband ordered the Delmonico steak. Both were delicious and we ended up cutting the steaks in half and sharing. These were the best steaks I've found in Florida thus far. Willard's is worth venturing into God's country.

    Great burgers and southern fried chicken. Skip the prime rib. It doesn't look like much from the outside but it's nice & clean inside.

    As someone who loves to sing but does get some stage fright in front of a crowd, private room…read morekaraoke always seemed so fun and I'm glad we have a place in Gainesville. Prices are pretty reasonable at $6 an hour during the week or $8 an hour weekends (per person). I've been with a large group and just one friend and the rooms have all been well sized for the different party sizes. We just use the iPad/YouTube to bring up songs rather than the machine. It works well and gets to a good volume. The rooms always feel clean and have lots of seating and movable furniture if you get a little more carried away during your performances. The reason I knock off a star is I find the drinks to be sooo weak, which honestly might be by design...The 6 shot sampler of soju seems like a great value at $10. But my friend and I had 6 shots EACH within less than 2 hours and it barely did anything at all. My friend VERY much a lightweight (like a 4-5/10 off of one shot) so that's how I know they're weak. They seem like soju diluted with lots of juice, which is refreshing but it's not like buying soju at the store and taking shots of it. I will say the bottles/cans are a great value at $4, but if you're looking to be tipsy/drunk while performing I would definitely recommend doing a little pre-gaming before you come. I understand they don't have a liquor license but it would be nice to have some stronger drink options available. The staff here is always super friendly and gives you a lot of privacy. This is a really chill experience and I've always had a really fun time. I just wish the drinks were stronger!

    This was my second time coming here for celebrating a friends birthday. It's been great everytime…read more Clean, nice staff, and I loved the themed rooms. They also sanitized the mics. I didn't drink but they do have a bar on site. I'm not sure about food but it's near butler plaza with many food choices available after singing your heart out!
