    Default New Place to eat in Live Oak

    Big Daddy's is in Live Oak, right across from Lowe's (314 W 72nd Trace).

    We ate there on Friday, and it was excellent. The food (quality, portions, and variety) and the service were outstanding. I watched them seat and serve a group of 16 across from us flawlessly (including split checks).

    The Buffalo wings are the real deal, and the prime rib is yummy. The "side salad" was impressive.

    Anybody can be calm and centered with a few candles, some incense, quiet peaceful surroundings...the trick in life is to clear your head and find that calm spot in a *poo*storm...to filter out distractions in a beehive world and focus on simple, true things. - Bob Bates

    They had just opened when we were last in Live Oak - we planned to try them, but the parking lot was jammed every time we went by. Glad to hear a good report - another place to add to our list of cave country gourmet delights!

    Ate there in March when we were there. It's a little loud inside, but otherwise no complaints!

    We ate there and at the seafood joint north east of the Brown Lantern. I'd have to say the seafood was better food but the sauce at Big Daddy's was VERY good.

    What is this seafood joint you speak of? Guess we must have missed that one thus far - do you have a name or directions?

    Thanks,

    PS: Speaking of new places to eat in Live Oak, last night we ate at Pepe's Mexican restaurant for the first time. It's on Route 90, a few blocks west of the center of Live Oak, on the south side of 90. It's a store as well as a restaurant - you go through the store to get to the restaurant. Excellent food and very reasonably priced. Jeano took us there. I'm hungry again just thinking about it!

    It was bought out, but is open again under a new name, in the same location. Still pretty good food.

    Go east of the Brown lantern to the next light, turn left and go into a residential area a couple hundred yards, it's right there on the left. Slow service but great food. I forget the name.

    Thanks! New cave country restaurants are almost as much fun as new caves!

    Well, maybe not quite - I've never driven 1500 miles to try a new restaurant...

    btw - what are the traditional places to eat in Live Oak? We realized that it is closer for the big groceries than Alachua Food Lion when staying in Luraville but we don't know any eateries in that end?
