Stuff A Belly Diner

I had breakfast there this morning. The only reason I am giving 3 stars is because the staff is VERY friendly. I feel bad giving them such a low rating, but I really was not impressed with the food.
The corned beef hash was from a can, everything tasted like it was artificial from boxes, frozen and from cans. I cook fresh food and shop at farmers markets and the butcher. I even drive 60 miles to my favorite local farmer. I care about what I put in my body.
I like my food Local and Fresh, not frozen, not canned, blah. They also bring out the toast with something already on it. I don’t touch plastic margarine, I hope it was butter. The hash browns were not browned, very mediocre. I am sorry to the people who seem to like it. It’s just my personal reference :/​If they would switch to fresh local food I would give it another chance.
But for now, I am sorry. I will try Johny’s next. I just don’t like spending $ 20 on breakfast and eating «just OK» food. I’d rather spend a little more for something really delicious.

Ok. Very cheesey. Food all-​round not so awesome, I would not eat here again

Is now North Port Family Restaurant. A great find. The chopped steak was great!

We were craving good home cooked food and were pleasantly surprised by this little place on our way to the Warm Mineral Springs. The staff was friendly and knew their regulars by name (a good sign). The place was clean and the food was really good. Very fresh and tasted like whoever was in the kitchen cared. We both had the chicken fried steak breakfast. The gravy was good and the steak was cooked perfect. And the grits were the best we have had. The prices were reasonable, our meals were $ 6.95. We were really surprised to see the sign for free wi-​fi
