2003 Spring Training-Fla
 

Will be in Fla. Mar6-10 for spring training games in Tampa, Winter Haven, Kissimmee (Orlando), and Daytona Beach. Looking for good resturants for &quot;home cooking&quot;, or something local, but not necessarily fancy.<BR>We just &quot;good ole' boys&quot; out for some baseball.

This might not be the best place for your restaurant search. Try Chowhound. My favortie line at a restaurant was &quot;If you want home cooking&quot; eat at home. <BR><BR>On the other hand, there are lots of Cracker Barrels all over Florida. Might be what you are looking for. LMF

who in there right mind would recommend a cracker barrel to eat other than driving along rt 95,with very little others to choose from.. hey fellas,talk to the folks at the game,iam sure they will point u to where the players hoist a few,and the burgers are fat,greese,and good..see u at the park

Hey JMax, I personally would never eat at a Cracker Barrel, just the entry kind of makes me sick... but these guys seemed to be looking for plain &quot;home cooking&quot; for good ole boys. <BR><BR>Certainly not Fodors patch but the guy was just looking for some help I suggested they go to a website where people routinely ask for good &quot;eats&quot;.

Circa, there's a restaurant off of I-4 midway between Orlando and Tampa that you might enjoy. It's called the Branch Ranch (you'll see a billboard or two). They have family style Southern food, ham and fried chicken with biscuits veggies and dessert. Not my cup of tea but they have a great reputation, might be just what you're looking for.<BR><BR>In Tampa, try Le Teresita for authentic Cuban food. Try a cuban sandwich and a bowl of yellow rice with black beans and chopped onions over top, mmm!!!
