Cypress Inn Restaurant

This is great old florida cracker experience. Fried chicken was excellent just like mom used to make. Collards peas carrots and corn on side. Great cornbread too. Nice freindly staff and lots of locals. The building is old and a bit rundown which added to the experience for me. Counter service for chewing the fat with neighbors.

If your up around Cross City,Fl you need to stop at the long standing Cypress Inn Restaurant, est. 1928. The outside doesn't look like much but don't let that deter you from going in. The staff are friendly and attentive and the atmosphere is welcoming. You can eat at the counter or in the dining area that reminds you of a hunting lodge. I went with their buffet they had 2 types of fried fish, chicken, vegetables, salad and dessert. The fish had a light coating and delicious. The green beans were seasoned with bacon, yum. The different salads, coleslaw, broccoli salad and crab salad were wonderful. Hubby went with the club sandwich and fries. They also have a seafood buffet and also Fire grilled steaks on Friday night. So stop in and enjoy a nice delicious meal at this wonderful unique pl

Fabulous! What a great surprise! The food was top notch. The servers were very attentive. Amazing buffet too!

We stopped for lunch because I read a review that said "best fried chicken." The restaurant was very busy but there were two empty tables. My friends ordered from the menu and I got the buffet. It was fantastic and amazingly quick! I would happily eat here daily if I lived in the area. Will definitely be a destination point when in that area!!

Gotta support these old timey mom and pop businesses, they are disappearing across the nation. Had the buffet on a Saturday afternoon. Food was good, service was good. Rustic atmosphere. Lots of deer mounts on the walls. 🦌 Definitely worth a stop if your in the area.
