Like attaching a fake mustache to a Halloween mask or cleverly changing your name from Obi-Wan Kenobi to Ben Kenobi, adding a new ingredient to something familiar can render it delightfully unrecognizable. Enjoy inventive eats with today's Groupon: for $20, you get $40 worth of American fare and drinks at J.C. Craver's Bar & Grill in Palm Harbor.
Named after Palm Harbor settler J.C. Craver, this welcoming restaurant fills empty breadbaskets with a menu brimming with seafaring dishes and carnivorous cuisine. Quickly quiet talkative tummies with an appetizing appetizer such as mussels sautéed in garlic butter, white wine, and fresh tomatoes ($8.99). The signature Cajun Man sandwich, sporting blackened prime rib topped with swiss cheese and spicy mayo ($9.99), separates the real taste buds from baby buds. Havers of heartier appetites can dine on a 16-ounce pan-seared rib-eye steak ($18.99), cast-iron grilled to be as tender as a love note from a lonely cupid. Sea-sourced bites such as the Sutherland garlic shrimp ($14.99) zestily satisfy even the most landlocked of palates. Parched pouts can be quenched with a martini, glass of wine ($6–$7.50 per glass), or cocktail, perfect for pairing with bites or clinking with forks.
