***** Orange Octopus Ice Cream Co, 1220 Old Stickney Point Road, Sarasota, Florida 34232, (941) 346-0202.

Got a terrific ice-cream joint for you guys to checkout, Orange Octopus Ice Cream Co in Sarasota.

Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats discovered this joint a couple of weeks ago- and all I can tell you guys- its ice cream is off the chart delicious!

Now this is purely a subjective call, both Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats rate Orange Octopus’ ice cream as some of the best we’ve eaten down here in Sunny Florida,! Trust me when I tell you, we’ve eaten our fair share of ice cream cones/cups – so I’m kinda thinking that you guys shouldn’t take our “call” here too-lightly!

Orange Octopus Ice Cream store “setup” is pretty standard- order/pickup counter, good handful of inside tables, loads of toppings, different types of cones- what makes this joint a winner is that all of its 24 ice creams are made in house! Let me repeat that- All Of ITS ICE CREAM IS MADE IN HOUSE! Now your tastebuds may- taste differently that Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats- taste…all I can tell you is -that the 9 flavors we tasted absolutely killed!

Let me wrap Orange Octopus Ice Cream Co up for you guys by saying, this joint is an absolute must try, it’s open 7 days a week 11am-10pm and you can check menu/ prices/ info at orangeoctopusicecream.com

***** Village Tavern, 1880 North Congress Avenue, Boynton Beach, Florida 33426 (561) 853-0281.

Last night I gave Village Tavern an “American Style” joint located in Boynton Beach a shot…there is also a Village Tavern in Pembroke Pines—when you check the joint’s website www.villagetavern.com for menu/prices you will find that there are a handful more in several other states.

Village Tavern seats something close to 300. There is a dining room and separate bar area.

The best way to describe Village Tavern’s decor—think Cheesecake Factory, Houston’s, J. Alexander’s and you got the picture.

Last night, this joint was jammed. I will tell you, that an 8pm reservation for 4–was honored.

Now let’s talk food…the menu is loaded with appetizers, salads, pastas, sandwiches, burgers, pizzas, meat-seafood-chicken entrees. This evening I “did” bbq pulled pork sliders (3-with french fries $8.50), bacon cheeseburger ($9.95), grilled talapia ($16.95), grilled chicken & penne ($14.50), shrimp scampi ($15.95)…I enjoyed all of the food, except the french fries which were on the “limp” side.

Village Tavern is a WINNER. Nice sized portions. Very reasonable prices. Pleasant and competent waitstaff.

Village Tavern is open Monday-Thursday 11am-10pm, Friday-Saturday 11am-11am, Sunday 10am-11pm

***** Main Bar Sandwich Shop, 1944 Main Street, Sarasota, Florida 34236, (941) 955-8733.

Got a real good. sandwich shop for you guys to checkout- Main Bar Sandwich Shop in Sarasota.

First things first, the Main Bar Sandwich Shop has been around since 1958- so Jeff Eats is kinda thinking that the folks that own this joint- just might know what they are doing!

Simple concept at work here…menu loaded with all kinds of hot and cold sandwiches/ handful of appetizers-sides-soups-wraps-desserts, booth-table-counter seating, dynamite food, reasonable prices, super pleasant wait-staff, open Monday-Saturday 10am-4pm/ closed Sunday.

Last week, Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats found- Main Bar Sandwich Shop and I gotta tell you, we absolutely loved the joint- the combo of terrific food and 1950’s decor/vibe was just what the doctor ordered!

You guys can check menu/prices/info at themainbar.com.

Real simple concept here- pizzas/salads/wings/beers, table/booth/counter seating, delicious food, loads of craft beers, reasonable prices, pleasant service, open Sunday-Thursday 11am-1am/Friday-Saturday 11am-2am.

Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats recently did dinner at Origin Craft Beer & Pizza Cafe- and I gotta tell you the joint’s food was right on the money! Just between you guys and Jeff Eats, Mrs. Jeff Eats and I are suckers for salad/ wings/ pizza/ beer “outings”-so…Origin Craft Beer & Pizza Cafe’s menu/ delicious food kinda hit it out of the park for us!

Let me wrap Origin Craft Beer & Pizza Cafe up for you guys by saying, Origin Craft Beer & Pizza Cafe is a real good joint to know about- if it was even remotely “near” our Boca Raton abode- we’d be real steady customers!

Debbie Taylor and a full seven-piece backing band bring the smooth pop songs of The Carpenters to vibrant life at Boca Black Box, while going behind-the-music to share stories of the brother-sister duo’s rise to fame.
