A local fave, we came for the monthly lunch with my tennis buddies. It’s on the Tampa Bay, looking west to St. Petersburg and south to Tampa. Aside from sunbathers (at this time of the year, very few did venture out into the water), other diners, we also got seagulls, abundantly.

Casual atmosphere, good service. Food is good but mostly are fried. I ordered calamari steak and it’s fried. They served wine in a glass and beers in plastic.

They became headline news in 2015 when a 30-foot boat crashed into their deck. Here is ABC Action News report. Two photos of the crash are on the wall.

Goodson Farms


12405 Co Rd 672
Wimauma, FL 33598

Will return.

I’ve been hearing about its strawberries for sometime and finally got to visit it.

They’re a simple farm that sell produces and jams, with sit down tables outside. There are strawberry fields and packing houses. Today’s strawberries are on the hard side and rather sour. The Georgia vidalia hot sauce is too sweet for my taste – although I know onion hot sauce could be sweet.

 

The farm got bad press when got into a dispute with their neighbors. Some are boycotting them.

As we’re driving back to civilization – a.k.a. Route 301, there is a mild traffic, which is rather common nowadays. Hope the farm lands stay for a long while.
