The Best Small-Town Restaurants

Florida

The Yearling Restaurant   Address and Info

Hawthorne

Population: 1,525

Visitors to Florida understandably spend most of their time on the beach, preferably at a bar overlooking the water. Hawthorne is smack in the center of Florida's shaft, surrounded by wetlands. It doesn't exactly scream "spring break." That said, those surrounding wetlands are a repository for old-school Florida cuisine, and getting it within the walls of The Yearling is an experience unto itself. Named after author Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings' most famous book and located a short walk from her home, the place has been serving up its Florida cuisine under the glow of a brick fireplace and amid the endless taxidermy since 1952. Where else in Florida can you get a taste of frog legs, gator tail, and cooter (the turtle, pervert), or just some damn fine prime rib and sour orange pie? If you're lucky, slide guitar-slinging bluesman Willie Green will be in the house too. It's quirky. It's wonderful. And it's maybe the best place to eat turtle in the middle of Florida. -- AK
