In the mid 1700s pioneers came from other colonies to Florida while it was still an unsettled land handed off to Great Britain by Spain. These people were woodsman, cow herders and frontiersmen from Virginia and Maryland; they could live off the land by hunting and fishing. The term ‘Florida Cracker” is believed to come from the sound that their whips made as they cracked them while riding horses to herd the cattle. Still, others say it comes from the crackling sound of dried corn as it was ground to make cornmeal which was a staple of their diet. Florida Crackers are the original Cracker Cowboys. The term still remains to differentiate the pride of Floridians who were born and raised here for generations.

The soup is pretty spicy, if you like that. The new England clam chowder is medium thick but taste good. The shrimp wrap is filled with simp and veggies but the dill dressing really doesn’t go well. It makes it bland. Excellent service. Great fries!!
The staff is always very welcoming and nice and the atmosphere is amazing.
Highly recommended!
Enjoyed dining here. Casual fun atmosphere. Staff is friendly, efficient and treats you like family. The camaraderie shows and is fun to watch.
Started with delicious Conch Fritters and wine. My partner enjoyed her fried fish sandwich. My grilled Mahi sandwich was the best fish sandwich I’ve ever had. It was cooked perfectly.
Went 7PM on a Friday night and enjoyed sipping our wine and beer and food while listening to a live singer. Very pleasurable as we could still enjoy conversation while the singer played in the background. We sat inside but there’s outside tables under a tiki style roof closer to the singer. Outdoors is pet friendly and one couple even brought their well behaved dog. Next door is a homemade candy shop- threw in a photo of that also.
Overall, this was a warm, friendly fun experience with delicious food. I will be back!
