What follows are recommendations and suggestions for restaurants and dining in Florida. Many are places I have visited and enjoyed, or of which I have personal knowledge, and others have been recommended by visitors to Getting Away. The listings are in alphabetical order so, just scroll down to the city or area in which you are interested. And, if you have a personal favorite you would like to recommend, just let me know. mailto:jimbruner@gettingaway.com
I suggest you purchase the book Hidden Florida before visiting Florida. Everyone visiting Florida (or living there) should have this book in their travel bookcase. Another interesting book is Florida Off The Beaten Path. Another good book is Hidden Florida Keys and The Everglades. A must if you plan to visit the Keys.

Florida.
Daytona and Daytona Beach Area
For some great seafood drive to Port Orange and visit Aunt Catfish's.
Flagler Beach
Martin's has been recommended by Getting Away visitor Lisa from Douglasville, Georgia. "Best prime rib for the least amount of money." states Lisa. Thanks Lisa.
Inverness
| Taking its name from the
Stumpknocker, a fish that has loon been a part of Southern fishing lore,
Stumpknockers on the River in Inverness is one of those great places in
Florida for seafood. I'll admit that from the outside it doesn't seem to be
much, but the food served is great. You can find everything from Gator
Nuggets for an appetizer to fresh baked pies for desert. In between there is
everything from catfish to shellfish to great ocean and freshwater seafood.
And, if you are not into seafood, you can enjoy steaks, including their
famous "Gator Steak." Stumpknockers is located on west Main Street in
Inverness, and at their river location on SW State Road 200 at the Withiacoochee River Bridge between Inverness and Ocala. Call 352.726.2212 or Inverness and 352.854.2288 for the river location. Jim |

Jacksonville Beach
Try a BBQ sandwich at the LTD. Great barbecue served on garlic toast.
I never drive by without stopping in for a sandwich!
The Homestead is one of my favorite places for fried chicken. And, if you like chicken livers and gizzards, try their special "Lizards," chicken livers and gizzards with rice.

There are several restaurants in Church Street Station. My favorite is Lili Marlene's Aviator Pub.
For you meat lovers out there, try the Cattle Ranch for thick steaks cooked over an orangewood fire.
St. Augustine
Try to have at least one meal at the Raintree Restaurant.
Walt Disney World
Try the fish and chips at the Rose and Crown in EPCOT.
The food at the Marakesh at EPCOT is also very good.
