Rustic Ranch, Inverness

From a wall made of weather-beaten wood, a steer head keeps watch over the day-the-day operations inside Rustic Ranch. Make no mistake about it: the operations here are taken one day at a time. Every day, the restaurant brings in fresh-caught grouper, and every day, its chefs hand-cut steaks, roast turkeys, and cook prime rib. All that hard work pays off in the form of a menu stuffed with home-cooked Southern classics–including French toast stuffed with fresh fruit, and handcrafted burgers stuffed with cheese. Homemade sides complete visits, such as sweet potato fries with fresh apple butter.
