A perfect place for a picnic meal...was a wonderful day!

Terri Biebuyck

So glad we found this gem! Fun picnic basket lunch! Food was delicious! Helpful staff. We sat out on the deck, near the water. But the inside is beautiful also. The owner gave my kids food to feed the fish. We saw a small alligator too. We got there about an hour before they closed, so only a few other people there. I'm sure it can get very busy at peak times. On site garden shop and antique shop, but we didn't have time to check those out. Would love to go back some day to spend more time.

Such an enjoyable experience. Food was good & reasonably priced, though it took a little bit to figure out the menu & ordering process on this first visit. The back seating area "porch" is on a lake with lots of trees. We enjoyed nature while we enjoyed our meal. The owner stopped by our table to chat & make sure we were enjoying ourselves. I would return without hesitataton.

Back Porch was the perfect light lunch. Food and drinks were all creative and delicious, service was fast and friendly, and the view of the gators in the lake was the cherry on top of our first Florida meal for the weekend.

This review reflects the food. The atomosphere is charming sitting outside on the patio watching alligators in the pond. Great variety of interesting flavors of hot tea, you have to ask for hot water. The fresh iced tea was good. The Greek salad was plain and small. The potato salad was good. The tiny cherry dessert bar was not so good, it was mostly crust with a crust like topping. The store and greenhouse next door are great.
