A True Southern Meal

While on spring break i went to an amazing restaurant in Florida called Snook Haven. It was heaven! The locals call it old Florida. It is seated right next to a river that is filled with alligators! It features local entertainment such as various banjo players. And as far as the food, it might be the best thing i have ever tasted. Even just starting with the drinks. I ordered a sweet tea assuming it would be nestea or some name brand, but no, it was freshly brewed true sweet tea. I couldn't stop drinking it! I think i must have gone trough a whole pitcher; it must have been the best thing i have ever drank. Now onto the food, i ordered the shrimp and chips, which came with another side dish so i also got baked mac and cheese. I did not have a single complain about anything, and the portions where so generous i couldn't complain. The chips where so delicious, they where home made and the perfect crispiness and thickness. And they had all these homemade hot sauces you could use! I tried a little of each on a chip till i found my favorite (which was the sweetest one they had). Then after i devoured most of the chips i moved onto the shrimp them self. Words cant even describe how perfect the batter on the shrimp was. It had so a deep flavor yet, it was so light and not greasy at all, and it had the perfect crispiness. Just the sight of the shrimp itself was mouth watering. And lastly was the mac and cheese. It had such a great combo of gooey cheesiness balanced with backed crispiness. Ad surprisingly, it just harmonized with everything else on the plate. Over all i would definitely eat there again and i will most definitely start eat more southern comfort foods. -Bailey S
