Grub Crawl - Mount Dora: Lake House and Mermaid Juice

I went to these spots on North Highland St (the one where you make the first right off of 46 to get to downtown) about a week ago.

Mermaid Juice - I was told that they brew. They don't. A shack with bric a brac that serves craft beer. It has been open for six years. No need to make a special trip for. I'm sure you have one of these near by. Parking is limited.

Lake House Bar and Grill - Not much more than the unremarkable mediocre eats place I suspected them to be. I think they have been open under this name for three years. I grabbed a half rack of ribs (with waffle fries and a salad) to go for $13. They said they were ready to go. They weren't. Took a half hour to get them. Ribs (6) weren't bad. Sweet sauce. Way too much sauce. Is Mt Dora the "over sauce" capitol of the nation? Waffle fries had a coating. Salad was a lame "fresh out da bag" supermarket special. It's like a Duffy's. Not as polished and the food is a little worse. They tried to play up the food provenance, but, I wouldn't expect anything to be special. Try the place on the corner for that. I forget the name. It's in an old gas station.
