Southern Palate

Loved this place. The decor inside was warm and friendly. Service was a little slow but it was busy. Food was great, very flavorful. 4 only because I didnt like the fried chicken. Way to many spices.

Bobby and I were doing our daily “where are we eating today?” search when we stumbled on a true gem, Southern Palate in Dunnellon. We were craving a home-cooked comfort meal and they did not disappoint. The fried chicken? Golden, crispy perfection. The mac-n-cheese? Cheesy, creamy heaven. Add rice & gravy, collards, and green beans, and we were in full-on Southern food bliss. Because one round wasn’t enough, we grabbed a to-go plate of meatloaf, rice & gravy, green beans, and yams for today’s lunch goals. They’re only open Thursday through Saturday, so plan ahead. The service was top notch!

I had the oxtail with rice, okra with tomatoes and macand cheese. Got a piece of meatloaf for spouse and sweet potato pie and a punch. Bill was over 50 bucks. I hadnt seen prices. Oxtail, mac and cheese and the pie was amazing. Only in area short time but honestly high priced to me. Loved the food. Would go out for seafood if wanted to spend that much again. Just being honest.

The best meal I’ve had in a long time. Angie was an absolute sweetheart her warmth and hospitality instantly reminded me of home back in Alabama. She brought true Southern charm to match the rich, flavorful Southern cuisine. I can’t recommend this place enough. I’d gladly go out of my way just to come back. If you’re anywhere nearby or even considering making the trip, do it!!! It’ll be one of the best decisions you ever make!

Authentic Southern cooking. Every dish we had was seasoned tastefully. Carrot cake was moist and delicious, peach cobbler tasted homemade as did the cake. Comfortable atmosphere, convenient parking. Must experience. Outdoor seating for the good days!
