Loyd Have Mercy has earned high praise for its original southern cuisine from several outlets, including Metromix and FloridaToday.com, and was ranked as one of the 10 Best restaurant in the state of Florida by National Elite in 2018. That's because the family-owned eatery's cooks whip up dishes from their delicious family recipes. The menu teems with southern favorites such as barbecue ribs, creamy grits, and chitterlings, plus seafood baskets, oxtails, and smothered chicken. The end result is satiated customers who reap all the benefits of home cooking without the tiresome tasks of prepping and cooking the meal and throwing the dirty dishes out the window when it's over.
