Eve’s was really busy, even though we came at 1:00 PM. But we were seated right away and ordered teas. We glanced at menus but of course we all ordered the Corned Beef and Cabbage meal, with salad salads. Our salads and fresh rolls came quickly. Salads were fresh, chilly and delicious. Since they were so busy we had ample time to talk while enjoying our salads.
About the time we were finishing our salads our Huge plates of food came. Oh boy! Why do we have to wait a whole year to enjoy this? The corned beef was super and sooo tender I didn’t need the knife to cut it. Potatoes were soft and perfect. Cabbage was just a bit Al Dente? Not quite as tender as I would have liked but I was able to saw through it in small pieces. Still crunchy, it too was delicious. And a side of horseradish, fairly mild, was a good partner for the beef.
Then disaster struck!!! As I reached for a roll from the basket I bumped my tea glass and a full glass of tea went all over my side of the table, partly in my plate but mostly in my lap! I used all the napkins on our table and Debbie, our excellent server, brought more. Managed to clean up the table mostly but my pants looked like a too-late run for the bathroom!
Thankfully it was a slow meal so by the time we left my pants didn’t show as being soaked. Oh my. I don’t think I have spilled a drink in years! Maybe I was too excited going after the yummy rolls. No pics of my wet pants and also no pic of the Coconut Cream Pie we shared.

Stopped by with an Army Veteran friend that had never visited here. He was very impressed with the food, service and ambiance. He ordered a Steak Sub. I ordered Zucchini Straws to share and the Chicken Liver Plate with Onion Rings.
Our Zucchini Straws came quickly and were absolutely delicious! Hot, crisp and seasoned perfectly. And a huge pile! We had to push them away to have room for our lunch.
After a bit our meals came. He really enjoyed his Cheesesteak Sub. My Chicken Livers were out of this world. Best I have ever had. Onion Rings were perfect also. I recall that I’ve never had a bad meal of hundreds eaten here. My guest, although it was my treat, he insisted on paying the tip. The waitress, Luli Eve’s granddaughter and baker, and I were surprised. He left a 50% tip! I guess he liked it too!

When we moved to this small Florida town 33 years ago, Eve’s was just a donut shop. ThThen later served breakfast, again later added lunch and finally dinner. I’ve never had a bad meal there in all this time. And their cakes and pies are absolutely the best around. Great food, great service and fair prices make it a must visit.
