Miccosukee Restaurant

Miccosukee Restaurant Review

For breakfast or lunch (or dinner until 9 pm, November-April), this roadside cafeteria a quarter mile from the Miccosukee Indian Village provides the best menu variety along Tamiami Trail in Everglades territory. Atmosphere comes from the view overlooking the River of Grass, servers wearing traditional Miccosukee patchwork vests, and a mural depicting American Indian women cooking while men powwow. Catfish and frogs' legs are breaded and deep-fried. Besides Indian fry bread and pumpkin bread, you'll also find burgers, salads, and south-of-the-border dishes. The Miccosukee Platter ($24.95) offers a sampling of local favorites, including gator bites.
