List 14 Budget-Friendly Restaurants Near You in Tavares, Florida (Part 2)

Jessica M Absolutely love this little gem! The owner is the sweetest, and as a book nerd, I love the book theme of the entire place plus they have an exchange! Everything is made fresh and with love. The meal replacement shakes are so filling but surprisingly low in calories. The “Seriously Cinderella is so annoying” was like a healthy, protein packed coquito shake. I love to support local businesses and I wish I had known about this much sooner. Please go check them out!! Huge variety of flavors so there is something for everyone!

David Matthew If you haven’t been to Munchies Live BBQ yet, stop what you’re doing and go, the chopped chicken is INSANELY good. Like, shockingly good. Perfectly smoked, juicy, and full of flavor on its own, but when you hit it with any of their sauces, it’s next level. Every single sauce is a win, but that jerk vinegar sauce is straight-up addictive, tangy, spicy, and just the right amount of kick. It ties everything together and makes you wonder why every BBQ joint doesn’t serve it. Friendly crew, great portions, and food that tastes like someone actually cares about what’s coming off the pit. Hands down one of the best BBQ spots in Central Florida.

Tiffany Shinkle Great little pizza spot. The dough had a great consistency and the menu was not too big so it made it easy to pick. 100% I recommend the meatballs, they come with amazing garlic knots as well. The parking is small next to the building but there is a bigger parking lot for the restaurant right by it so we had no problem getting parking. We will definitely be back.

jenna hunt Always such a good experience when we come here. Everything was fresh, hot, delicious, and reasonably priced. Food came out pretty fast as well. I would definitely recommend Taco Time to everyone. So delicious!

Wendy Hille This restaurant and bar was the perfect lunch spot for us. We wanted casual with an eclectic seafood menu. The food was fresh and served quickly. The view was beautiful. We will definitely be back!

Sylvia Meyer Love this place! Food is always fresh and good. Hush puppies to start, cedar neck clams over the linguini, and the mahi blackened with veggies + another side! Good prices for the amount of food you get. Option of sitting inside and outside on the deck which overlooks the water. Clean and friendly staff!

Kayla Thornton We were so happy to find this gem on our way to Mt Dora. With its key west biker vibe right on the water. We had wings and noches that were amazing. Our waitress Lisa was perfect. We will definitely be back!!!!

Melisa B. This was our first time at Ironworks. We recently moved to the area a year ago and never knew this hidden gem was sitting right in the heart of Tavares on Lake Dora. Michael is an AMAZING bartender and makes some pretty “dangerous” cocktails!!! Kate took exceptional care of us and was super personable and attentive. This will be one of our regular Go-To’s from now on and we were so pleased with everything all around. We had the ribeye, it was perfectly seasoned, and highly recommend it. Didn’t take foodie pics of our entree because we wanted to dive right in but took other photos from our dining experience tonight. Thank you Ironworks and especially to Michael & Kate. We will see you again soon!!!

Matt Lemus Restaurant with awesome lake views! Enjoy lunch while watching Seaplanes take off. We enjoyed our bar food and drinks - definitely recommend if you are in Tavares!

Jack Yasgar Stopped in for a late dinner and had the Mamas Fried Chicken dinner. Server suggested some honey mustard to go to it, which was great. Fries are always great here. Mamas chicken was great. They have so many different things on the menu, its a great place to go if youre not sure what you feel like eating.
