18 Main Street And Grill - Avon Park

Our neighborhood favorite! It’s a place where everyone knows our names. The warm, old brick interior brings to mind a Boston cellar tavern. Dave, the owner and chef, along with his friendly staff, makes you feel like family. The restaurant has a fully stocked bar with surprisingly good and affordable wines. We’ve tried everything on the menu and haven’t found a single disappointment. We particularly love the flash-fried tuna and the fish bites as appetizers. Dave imports his grass-fed beef from the Midwest, and it's honestly some of the best I've ever tasted. The hot dog and salmon are excellent, as are the flatbread pizzas. And you simply can’t miss dessert—a huge apple dumpling served with cinnamon ice cream is the perfect way to end a wonderful meal.

We recently dined here for our 18th wedding anniversary celebration, and it was a wonderful experience. I had the filet, which was cooked to perfection, and the Gouda cheese and naan chips appetizer was fantastic. We also enjoyed a delicious cinnamon and apple ice cream dessert. The owner was very friendly, and the staff was attentive throughout our meal. We will definitely be back—this was a great place to celebrate our special day!

I had the pleasure of performing some jazz there on Wednesday night. What a fantastic venue! The food was excellent, the staff was wonderful, and the crowd was fantastic. I can't wait to return!

Pork Tenderloin Sandwich is brilliant and huge with hand-ground frits. Crab Corn Chowder was delicious. Personalized contact of owner and cook. Great place to stop, very welcoming.

18 East is my 2nd most missed thing since moving to TN, with my family being #1! I’ve been up here for almost 3 years now, eaten at 100’s of restaurants and still haven’t found anything that compares to the prime rib wrap definitely no place that feels like home the way Dave always makes 18 East feel! I can’t wait to come back visit soon.
