Perfect vibe for one of Speckled Hen's craft beers and eclectic food.  I have been here numerous times and have never been disappointed with the fare.  Menu changes seasonally, so make sure if you haven't primed your palate here in a while to hit up Speckled Hen and taste some of the newest menu items.

I l.o.v.e. the food here!

Camping at Ginnie Springs, Fl

Some beautiful shots from my camping trip this weekend...

Simply S.E.R.E.N.E.......

There is nothing more beautiful than being able to see directly to the bottom of a spring.

Ginnie Springs is a scuba enthusiasts paradise.

This log on the campfire resembled a beautifully gnarled face.

Hmmnnn... I can't pronounce these food names with dignity, but who really cares...these dishes were D.E.L.I.S.H! Service (by the lovely Dana) was both speedy and done with a smile plus all items on the authentic German menu are house-made.

GSH Interior

Warm brick and dark woods give this awesome eatery a casual 'kicked back' feel.  Prices for lunch average between $6.99 - $10.99 and the average dinner menu item runs $16.99.

There is a separate menu for wood-fired brick oven pizza's but I am not going to enable GSH's food identity crisis by crossing over the German-inspired-beautiful-bites-border!

Definitely a new chomping spot for me!
