Other Restaurants in Florida – Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives

Other Restaurants in Florida

Beyond the well-known hotspots, Guy Fieri has uncovered some truly exceptional hidden gems throughout the Sunshine State. With 14 restaurants featured across Florida from 2008 to 2025, these diverse eateries showcase the state’s incredible culinary range—from coastal seafood shacks to innovative fusion kitchens. The numbers tell a compelling story: an impressive average rating of 4.4 stars, with standout performers like Leon’s at Lake Ella in Tallahassee, Irie Island Eats in Marathon, and Krakatoa in Hollywood each earning stellar 4.8-star ratings from devoted customers.

Miami Beach leads the pack with three featured restaurants, followed by Miami with two, reflecting South Florida’s vibrant food scene. However, the show has also ventured to smaller communities like New Smyrna Beach and the Florida Keys, proving that Flavortown knows no boundaries. While half of these 14 establishments have since closed—a reminder of the restaurant industry’s challenges—the seven that remain continue serving up the bold, crave-worthy dishes that earned Guy’s stamp of approval. Each surviving spot represents a piece of Florida’s diverse culinary tapestry.
