KARLING'S INN – German
A German dining room on US-17 in De Leon Springs, open only a couple of nights a week and taking reservations because it has to. The kitchen runs two lines at once: schnitzel in several guises, sauerbraten and duck on one side, Florida water on the other — black grouper, Chilean sea bass, Dover sole stuffed with crab and shrimp. Potato pancakes, spaetzle or German red cabbage alongside, and prime rib for the table's holdout. Diners drive real distances for it and say the owners make the trip feel worth taking. Old-country cooking, deliberately out of the way.
