What makes a restaurant “homestyle” to you? To me, it’s finding a restaurant that offers food the way your family used to make – or even still does! Delicious, home-cooked meals that you could’ve sworn were served to you on a Sunday night by your favorite aunt or grandmother. While it’s true that Florida has a ton of homestyle restaurants within state lines, we have one that absolutely deserves a visit – especially if you love down-home, good country eating. Head on over to The Mason Jar, a delicious homestyle restaurant in Florida with a seriously scrumptious menu.

The Mason Jar in Umatilla (pronounced you-ma-tilla), Florida, is a delicious local restaurant that specializes in homestyle cooking.

Located just off of 19, you’ll notice immediately upon walking up to the restaurant that it has the words “Homestyle Cooking” emblazoned on the front. Any restaurant with a claim that big likely knows what they’re doing in the kitchen.
