“I was at this restaurant. The sign said ‘Breakfast Anytime.’ So I ordered French Toast in the Renaissance.”
Steven Wright
On
our way back to our week home in Ormond Beach, Florida, we found
ourselves a little peckish from our fun at Alexander Springs that
day. We had seen this quaint restaurant on the way to the spring
and had planned on stopping there on the way home. We looked them up
on Trip Advisor and saw they were a five star restaurant.
We
pulled into the parking lot which had a bunch of Florida tagged cars
and walked up to this restaurant attractively painted in barn red
paint with a white trim. When we entered the restaurant, it was not
crowded and everyone was social distancing. We were greeted by a
nice hostess who lead us back to our table. This was a quaint
family run restaurant with beautiful teal bench seats and tables
along the front windows and set up diner style. There was also
multiple tables in the dining area. The tables were adorned with
advertisements from local companies. We ordered our drinks and
looked over the menu.
They
had a great menu and by the time the nice waitress came back, we had
chosen what we wanted to eat. Joe picked the gyro plate and I
picked the patty melt. We ordered and enjoyed the conversations
between the different patrons in the restaurant. Many knew all the
waitresses and you could tell they were regulars. Many were working
at Lake George as boat repairmen, propeller repair, or working in the
construction business and were getting out for lunch during their
busy day. Lake George was only a short 11.6 km from the restaurant
so it was an easy drive for them.
Many
conversed table to table asking technical questions or questions
about their different professions. These all were some big men
dwarfing Joe and I by a lot. I looked at Joe and said, “They sure
do grow them big in Florida.” It was like the land of the giants.
We were amazed. Everyone was super friendly and enjoyed joking
with the waitresses as well as each other.
Our
food came out and it was delicious. We had a great meal and
thoroughly enjoyed everything. They definitely deserved their five
star rating. As we went to check out, we noticed they proudly
displayed the American Flag about the register. They also have
outside seating at the back of the restaurant that is in a screened
in area.
This
restaurant is open Tuesday – Sunday from 7 to 3. They serve
breakfast and lunch and their breakfast menu looked yummy also with
skillets, omelets, pancakes, and more. The food and service was
great and we would highly recommend this restaurant. We always love
going to eat where the locals are and this surely was the place.
It is located at 1455 W. State Road 40, Astor, Georgia.
Till next time. Bye for now.
