"I got the best popcorn shrimp I've ever eaten. The coleslaw is amazing. The biggest draw for me was the black beans and yellow rice and it did NOT disappoint 😋"
"Pattie melt was so good I forgot to take a picture. I should have split the sandwich with by buddy but finished it anyway. That hurt. Tater tots were cooked to perfection with just a hint of crispy crunch. Server was attentive but not obnoxiously so. Perfect. I’ll be back! 🤤"
"I recently visited the Brown Lantern Restaurant at 417 E Howard St, in Live Oak, FL. This was a recommended place and it certainly was a good experience. Not only the staff, but the interior decor and of course the wings that I ordered. When in the area, get a beer and place your order and enjoy it."
