Places to Dine

Places to dine may be the best part of a vacation, we will search our and report back on some of the cool, funky, fascinating and downright good places to stop for a meal.

We had read about Bob's Train. It is a restaurant in a railway car, tucked away in a Sarasota industrial park. I must admit, it was no small feat to find the place. We had been cautioned some GPS might not be able to find it - ours was one of them. Those...
If you like great food in a fun atmosphere Ford's Garage is a wonderful choice. We first found a location in Brandon back in September of 2017 while searching TripAdvisor. It was the outside that initially intrigued us. Old Ford cars and trucks were parked about the building as exterior decor. My favorite part was...
Recently while at the Sebring Regional Airport, we decided to catch breakfast at the Runway Cafe. Yes, we have heard the stories of airport food. Obviously, those folks have never stopped at this quaint little place. The Sebring Regional Airport might not be the largest in the Sunshine State, but certainly it is one of...
Deep in the heart of Hardee County lies Solomon's Castle. The complex of buildings is the dream of one man - Howard Sanford Solomon. There have been lots of blogs about this place. Some call it "odd" or "weird." However, we are here to tell you that those words do not begin to do justice to the...
Those who follow us know we like new dining experiences. When we saw the Flashback Diner in Boca Raton, we expected to find the standard white-tile-and-chrome burger joint with 1950's music grinding away in the background. Boy, were we wrong. Walking up to the place was our first clue. There was stylish...
We had seen on several occasions that the city of Stuart was known as the "Sailfish Capital of the World." So on a recent trip to the Treasure Coast we decided to check it out. In fact, we found sailfish represented just about everywhere. The most prominent is a giant sailfish fountain. It is centered in...
So we were traveling the Treasure Coast and looking for a place to have dinner. That's when we found Taste in Hobe Sound while perusing TripAdvisor. They list themselves as casual dining, but they are so much more. It took us a while to find the place at the intersection of Bridge Road and A1A...
When we vacation we go to a lot of places that have funky and fun themes, but the food does not live up to the atmosphere. However, the Island Cow on Sanibel Island is an absolute exception. Sanibel is one of the Gulf coast communities that is just chocked full of great places. On...
In Fort Myers, The Love Boat is a quick way of taking a cruise back in time to an old fashioned ice cream shop. We had seen this place on TripAdvisor and had wanted to stop during several visits to the area. However, we just did not have the opportunity. For a while, The Love...
When visiting Anna Maria Island there are certain places you need to visit. Of course there's shopping on Pine Avenue, a meal at Ginny & Jane E's and the iconic Rod & Reel Pier. We found it highly recommended by locals and reviewers on TripAdvisor alike. It is the essence of AMI - that...
