Yellow Dog Eats

Yellow Dog Eats – Gotha FL

in Florida Locales by

A favorite find is a restaurant that is a local creation, has a unique personality and great food. These places don’t need to be a part of the hottest retail strip or an overwhelming marketing push. There is a “feel” to the place from the moment you walk through the door or step on the patio. Chains try to mimic the homegrown vibe, but it’s an experience hard to replicate.

I believe the personality of the creator (Fish) is part of the ambiance at Yellow Dog Eats (make sure to read Jayme’s profile too). I knew it was going to be an experience to our liking as we approached the newly restored VW bus walking in from the parking lot, saw the irreverent signs, chalk art, and cool 70’s like flashing lights on the patio.

Those who were fortunate enough to be present at the creation (thanks Dean Acheson) of Yellow Dog Eats witnessed something special, fortunately they passed their good fortune and good find on to other family and friends who visit and pass the good experiences and good vibes down the line. Which brings us to a big Thank You to our neighbors who were so kind to invite us to share lunch and introduce us to Yellow Dog Eats!

Words are not enough. I will let the food photos speak with their obvious tasty goodness.

1/2 Rack of Ribs with “Gold” Sauce. $9.95

This was my choice for lunch.  Fish’s Gold Sauce is a perfect compliment to the tender ribs. A large side of the “Gold” Sauce is served with the ribs. I didn’t make use of the extra sauce as not to drown the ribs. (Not that there is anything wrong with that). The ribs can stand alone if you so desire… which I desired.

A refurbished VW Bus. It’s open, but it looks too nice to eat inside. A closer look is in store next trip.
