Great lunches and dinners await you at Mean Deans Local Kitchen
How fantastic! They will have more seating, private
event space (perfect for recep- tions, business meals, birthday
parties, etc.) The craft cocktails will be as good as the food people
have come to expect from Mean Deans. Also here is their Big Sip and Lite Bites special which features $7 appe-
tizers, two house wines for $7 and $1 off beers served in the bar only from 3 to 5PM. A great deal! They offer the eclectic wine culture people love, including their popular prix fixe Wine Dinners (one is May 11). Make plans to reserve for Easter, Mother’s and Father’s Day here.
Also to be enjoyed is their Sunday Brunch (try the Salmon Benedict) and what would brunch be without mimosas? Michele’s favorite is the Hibiscus and Lavender. “It has a lovely floral aroma and tastes amazing,” she says. I also like their cozy lounge area for desserts and drinks and small gatherings. A gold glitter bar also adds to the funky ambience at Mean Deans Local Kitchen.
Not many restaurants can say that they have been in busi- ness for 50 years like the folks have been at Duffy’s Tavern at 5808 Marina Drive, Holmes Beach (941-778-2501). That’s a lot of burgers and beer! In 1971, Pat "Miss Duffy" Geyer purchased the business from Claude “Duffy” Whiteman. There have been a succession of the Geyer girls working behind the bar and grill since Miss Duffy took over in June of 1971. To this day, all five, Patti, Pam, Peggi, Polli and Penni (now in North Carolina), are still “employed” by Miss Duffy–who keeps a watchful eye from heaven above – as to how the coldest beers and best burgers are served.
A must are the all-the-way burgers, made with fresh ground meat on an old seasoned grill. Choose an ice-cold beer from a wide assortment of bottles, or have a frozen mug of fresh beer served from the tap. A selection of sodas, juice and iced tea are also available to go with your burger, hot dog, grilled cheese, garden burger, chili or navy bean soup. During this virus situation they are doing a brisk take-out
