L to R: Nicole, cook Robert, and Libby in front of the salad bar with the Antique store in background
During our travels this winter in Florida we have been blessed to know a couple of couples who we met last year in Ohio during festivals. We have been in contact with them at some of the flea markets we have attended. They told us about a small local cafe near our next event.
The Orange Box Cafe is a favorite of the local residents, and our friends have been here before. The cafe is not only a restaurant, but also a produce store and antique store as well. There is live music on Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturday nights.
All six of us had supper there last night. The salad bar is small, but has fresh ingredients including marvelous home made cole slaw. The soup of the day was potato and it was delicious.
Sher and our friends ready to enjoy supper
Sher enjoyed the soup and salad bar and I had the same plus the evening special: meatloaf and mashed potatoes. The serving of meatloaf was huge and very tasty. The slice was about 2 inches thick and covered half of the plate, smothered in gravy. One of our party made a special request on the preparation of a Reuben sandwich. No problem with that, the cook will prepare about anything you want.
The service was excellent and we had fun talking with the waitresses. We enjoyed the meal and the company. In addition, this place has a large parking lot for truckers, and they also had six sites suitable for RV’s. So we stayed there overnight and were able to plug into the electric service at the picnic shelter for no charge. This is one of those interesting places you find when you are on the road.
Nice parking spot at the Orange Box Cafe. No charge but be courteous and patronize the cafe.

Hi!
Nice article and find. I love local businesses and try to give them my business when possible. I am at Flamingo in the Everglades, but have made myself a note to be sure to stop in if/when I get close..
Thanks,

Hello Serenity,
We stayed a second night (Tuesaday) at the Orange Box Cafe and ate supper again, and then we stayed for the music. Buddy was a good performer and we all had a good time. We are probably going back this Friday for more music.
Thanks for the comment and the visit.
