Cute creative atmosphere. Beans had alot of flavor. Potato salad had a odd flavor. Meat definitely needed a sauce for my liking . Mac & cheese & cornbread just ok. But everybody is different in what they find worth a 5 star rating. The udders made it easy to get sauce which is way better than a bottle. Great sauce selection.

I Definitely recommend stopping by here. Great food in the quaint little town of brooksville. The ribs were fall off the bone delicious and paired well with the baked beans which were fantastic. Best I've had in a long time. The resturant has that real old florida feel.

Hey there! I stumbled upon this hidden gem and I’m thrilled to share it with you. It’s an absolute must-visit if you ever find yourself in west central Florida.

They had an incredible spread of food, including all sorts of delicious sauces and sides.

I did go on Tuesday or Wednesday, I couldn’t resist th

Great food, husband said he’d move here just for this one restaurant! Although Amanda wasn’t our waitress, she took the time to explain a few things to us and made a big impression with her kindness! This will be a destination place when we come back to Florida. Our bucket list now consists of eating at all the Florida Cracker restaurants.

Best chicken sandwich I've had. My entire family loved their meals and ate every bite. The portions were a great size and quality was simply southern. If you and the family are looking for a relaxed, wholesome and great overall food experience stop in . 📍🌴
