While in Ocala we stopped into Aunt Fannie’s for breakfast. It is a diner with tables as well as a traditional diner-style counter. We sat at the counter.
Of course, on a Saturday morning, the place was busy. The servers were very friendly and the service was fast.
Chris ordered the Sampler Platter, eggs, sausage, bacon and hash browns with cheese. The eggs were nicely cooked and the dish was good. The cheese on the hash browns was just a slice of American slightly melted over the top.
I veered away from my Keto plan and ordered the Lil Belly Buster, a smaller order of biscuits & gravy with two over-medium eggs. While the eggs were wonderful and the gravy was tasty, the biscuits were very dry. Even sopping them with gravy did not take away from the dryness.
We did have one major issue. Aunt Fannie’s is obviously a place with a lot of regulars. While it was nice to see that the staff knew most of the customers by name and already knew what their orders were, it was not pleasant to feel like we were being overrun by the regulars. They had no respect for our personal space and made us feel very crowded and in the way at the counter. Maybe it would have been different if we had sat at one of the tables instead.
Cost for one coffee, one juice and two entrees $20.05
