Mr Pit BBQBest of IgoUgo

Restaurant

We went on another recommendation through RCI Community and we just had to write about it also. This place is well known to the locals in the area and is highly recommended. We had a great lunch there! Even the kids loved it! Lunch was $3.95 - $6.95 and you can order extra sides for $1.50 each. For sides they had collard greens, beans, potato salad, hush puppies, grean beans, etc.

Three of our four ordered a barbecue pork sandwich and we couldn't believe how great it was. The sandwich came with no sauce on it but the meat was so tender and tasty it didn't need sauce. They had sauces you could add yourself on the table. My husband loves barbeque and has had it many times at several different restaurants but he agrees with the rest of us that this was the best barbeque we have ever had.

Anywhere else we go we will always be comparing it to Mr. Pit's. This was a place we will definitely go back to again and again...and again.

Melting PotBest of IgoUgo

Restaurant | "The Melting Pot"

We had 15 people go to this place and every one of them loved the food and had a great time, but thought it was a bit confusing and pricey. For two people you can order fondue for $69 which includes an appetizer, main course, and dessert. Where it gets confusing is the different types of styles of cooking and different dips. Be careful because sometimes they charge you more for different styles. The best advice I can give is to ask a lot of questions!! As for the food we had a great appetizer of bread and fruit with a cheese sauce that was out of this world! Dinner came with a plate of uncooked meat that you get to cook yourself, right at your table! Dessert was the best with a choice of white chocolate, chocolate, or flavored chocolate sauce to dip your fruit or cake in! I definitely would like to go back again because the food was great!

Waccatee ZooBest of IgoUgo

Attraction

Since our kids are 7 and 8, we have been to many zoos and weren't really looking forward to going to ANOTHER one. Once we got there, we were pleasantly surprised and spent much more time than we anticipated because we were having so much fun! When you first arrive, the low cost to enter is nice. They ask you if you want to buy food to feed the animals for $3, plus you get to keep the commemorative cup. "Feed the animals? Which ones?" They answered, "Any animal that walks up to the fence, except the big cats (lions, tigers, etc.) and the alligators." We were surprised at the wide variety of animals and we fed most of them, including the goats in the petting area. There was even a quiet walk through the woods and lots of shade. We fed bears, camels, monkeys, goats, pigs and more. There are even more animals to see, but you will have to go yourself to find out what you are missing.
