Grampys Back Porch - Mount Plymouth

My family did a girls trip out here to eat and shop. I had never been here before and I was not disappointed! Starting with the drive up everything outside is adorable and was decorated for fall and Christmas. There was lots of parking available and it was busy but not overcrowded on a Saturday morning. To order here you grab a menu and fill it out at your table where they have pencils set out for you. Write your table number on top and then mark what items you want to eat and then bring it up to a cashier. The service was quick and everyone was so friendly. They have a great deal for $10.99 and it comes with a sandwich, a soup, salad and dessert. Lunches are served in the cutest little basket to your table and there is quite a variety to choose from. I had the beef sandwich that was made with a horsey sauce and French dressing and it was so so good! The tomato soup was delicious and the pasta salad was yummy too. I loved the carrot cake as it was moist and had a great flavor. It was the perfect amount of food and I loved being able to taste so much of the menu. Shopping is available in the restaurant but also at the other 3-4 stores on property. The only downfall of this place is I was hoping for some local made Christmas decor.

This place is sooo cozy and friendly. Food is simple and hits the spot! The staff is so wonderful.

Delightful. Everything was perfect. Service outstanding, food was fresh and tasty, atmosphere was everything. We considered going to Cracker Barrel for lunch and I'm so glad we drove the extra minutes to support this family run restaurant instead. We will be regulars from now on!!

Recommend for a quick lunch. The location is where CR-557 557A split, the entry is tricky, across double yellow to access parking, watch for merging traffic from northbound 557. You 'll be looking for a group of older red-painted barns shops; the Back Porch is off to the left at the south end of the propertyWe were seated quickly indoors and got our orders in promptly. There is a nice deck out back with fans and an appealing sitting area. There is an outdoor bar as well. Beer wine available, possibly cocktails, didn 't see bottles to know for sure.Drinks are self-serve with flavored iced teas (quite good, punchy) or soda fountain. Picnic menu. I don 't want to base the review on what I had, but I would not get the veggie burger again, it was packaged and meh. Salad was tiny, but good, nice dressing, might be better to get one of the larger salad plates offered. Other sandwiches looked much more appealing. I ordered wrongly. Dessert was a nice size lemon drop cake, good flavor, a bit small. Vegetable soup was good, I 'd get that again.Service was good, smooth.

Heading home from a weekend in Orlando, we needed a nice home cooked meal. This restaurant was highly rated on Yelp and we were glad that we got off the beaten path. Everything from the unique way of ordering your lunch (which is delivered in a wooden picnic basket) while sitting under the tin roof next to the lake enveloped in Cyprus trees to the spiced sweet tea, this was a wonderful way to end our vacation. The servers were welcoming and kind as well. Oh, don't forget to say hi to the alligator off the deck.
