While I mourn the loss of the Suwannee River Diner in White Springs, I’m pleased to report that the Stormant family is still cooking up the same great country vittles we know and love down at Fat Belly’s, their restaurant on the south side of White Springs near the blinker to Big Shoals.
Barbecue is the mainstay here but they open early for breakfast – 5 AM – for folks headed out early to enjoy the outdoors, and make great pancakes, eggs, and grits. Stop by and fill yourself up!
From Joe Moraca:
It is sad to see the Suwannee Diner gone. But things change even in a small town. I am up there pretty regular.
From Tom Makin:
We are here at Stephen Foster FCC and out of the last five days here we have eaten at Fat Bellys 4 of them. Their food is very good, their portions are unbelievable, and the prices are very, very reasonable. I recommend them to anyone who even gets close to White Springs.
From Donna and Ed Collins:
On our visit to Florida this past winter, we went to the Stephen
Foster Museum for a side trip, and needed to find a place to eat lunch.
Someone recommended Fat Belly’s, and believe me, was that a find!!!!!
Since it was a Friday during Lent, we were not going to eat meat, and,
Boy !!!!, did those ribs look good, but we chose the breaded shrimp, and
we split the order as there were 20 in the basket!!
Oh My!!, I can’t tell you how delicious those shrimp were. The
breading was so fine, you immediately sank your teeth into the most
delectible, sweet shrimp we had ever eaten.
We will surely stop and eat at Fat Belly’s on our next trip next
winter.
