With its rustic wood exterior and orange grove-themed mural – plus the must-have blend of sweet tea and moonshine that’s even available from a takeout window – Art Smith’s Homecoming Florida Kitchen is a refreshing relief from glitzier nearby options. The namesake chef, a sixth-generation Floridian, used state-grown ingredients and his mother’s recipes as inspiration for the restaurant’s simple, wholesome fare. Fried chicken is brined in buttermilk, pimento cheese is made in-house and a slice of the old-fashioned pineapple-banana Hummingbird Cake transports tasters back in time.
