February Restaurant Update Citrus County

We returned to several restaurants this last month, and had very good experiences at Texas Roadhouse, Stumpknockers on the River , Bangkok Thai, and Culver’s. We tried one new place for us… Five Guys.

For lunch: Five Guys (Lecanto) We tried the patty melt and little cheeseburger. Their French fries are excellent. The burgers were very good. If you are going to eat in …you might want to bring a paper plate with you unless you don’t mind eating off the wrapping paper that the hamburger comes in.

During the Lenten season, we continue to have walleye at Culver’s (Lecanto and Inverness) whenever we can. They will run out before the six weeks of Lent, so if you want to try it , get over there! It is fried. Art and I found that we just order a three-piece walleye dinner. He eats two pieces. I ate one and we split a large order of fries. Order an extra coleslaw and that is enough for us. It also comes with a roll. DoorDash does deliver.

You can’t beat Texas Roadhouse especially when you use “Call Ahead” which is done online not the phone. We were there on the Friday before Valentine’s Day, and we were seated within 10 minutes of our call ahead seating. The service is good and the food is delicious . Their house salad is great. The Caesar salad is good too. Art had his “roadkill” that he likes to order there. I had a Dallas filet with shrimp. Just the right size, very tasty, and cooked right. They did have to bring me a fully cooked baked potato… but they were checking on our food right after it was delivered. We had the Granny Apple classic dessert. Apple pie with ice cream was yummy!

12 of us descended on Bangkok Thai. we did make a reservation, and they took very good care of us. The service was good. The food all came out at the same time ; everybody’s order was right and everybody loved what they ordered. We have not been there in quite a while, and it’s still as good as ever.

Stumpknockers on the River …Karen had the grouper. I had the trio which was catfish, shrimp, and a crab cake. Mike had scallops and Art had stuffed flounder. We had a good service and it’s good food. Hush puppies are good. Coleslaw is good.
