home cooking at its Texas best. the bar b que ribs are always tender and meaty. If you can get there on a day that they happen to have chicken and dumplings you have struck county gold.

Their ribs are really good. Their portions are very large. Chicken Fried steak is very large for the price. Could have used some more seasoning but otherwise very good. Their specials are always good. Burgers are large and moist.

Ate there once, tried to eat several other times but never seemed to be open. Friendly service, good catfish and ribs that are a bit overrated in my opinion.

Florida's Kitchen is just plain good. All of their BBQ is well done and I personally LOVE their fried catfish. In fact, I think the tartar sauce is so good it can be eaten as a side dish. Florida's salad is great: it is a huge bed of greens & avocado, etc and topped with sliced beef, link and a... More

The items on the fried seafood platter were not fresh, and they had not been freshly fried. It fair to say that every item on the platter was either overcooked or undercooked. The items that we tried were stale and ill-tasting. We substituted baked potato for fries. With no exaggeration, it is fair to say that the potato was undercooked... More

Have eaten here often, the food and service is excellent. And a word to reviewers, if you cannot spell, do not waste your time writing a review.

I read an online review of Florida's and had to stop and try it for myself. The food here is terrific. I had catfish and oysters and I am usually wary of oysters when not right on the coast, but these were coated in cornmeal and flour and fried just right. The catfish was tender and not greasy at all... More

My wife, daughter, and I had traveled to Houston from our town of Lufkin (about 100 miles one way) to purchase a wedding dress for my daughter. On the way home we stopped in at Florida's for lunch. Livingston is not a very big place and neither is Florida's. You drive past a beautiful high school campus on FM 350... More

I'm in Livingston for a couple weeks and still exploring for places to return to for dinner, as I will be eating out every night. Florida's Kitchen has made the "repeat list" . I had the large rib plate with baked beans and potato salad. The ribs were fantastic and the sides were very good too. I found myself poking... More
