Big V Restaurant

We came for a good breakfast, we be hungry. We seated ourselves, and the waitress came over and bused our table right away, and took our drink order. The place is packed, however we were not ignored. Our food was great and I loved the potatoe chip style home fries. The waitress Randy was great.

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and portion of food. The décor was very simple but homey, appropriate for the small town Its located in. The waitress Randi was very attentive and made us feel welcome. The food was very ample and tasty! The breakfast home fries and thin sliced potatoes, very good!

When I saw the outside of Big V I thought to myself ugh oh no, when I saw the inside of Big V I thought to myself ugh oh no. After our first initial interaction with the waitress I forgot about the looks and moved on.
I had biscuits and gravy, the biscuits were soft and gravy tasted authentically homemade. The gravy was thick and loaded with sausage the full order is huge, I could have easily made due with the half order. I also had a side of home fries. I have never had home fries done quite like this, basically they were sliced potatoes. I thought they were a little bland but my wife loved them. She had pancakes and I was surprised at how fluffy and good they were.
Over all the breakfast was good, while the décor and atmosphere lack I have to take into account the location, this is a small town and not very many other options.

The Big V is this underrated hole in the wall in LaBelle, FL. Attached to a sketchy motel, this place gets crowded with a parking lot full of trucks and remnant sounds of nextel two– ways. Apparently, you need to get there early to get in on their famous biscuits and gravy. Now, this was my first exposure to this southern staple, and this breakfast delight is definitely not for the faint of heart. A half order will give you enough gasoline to hold you over for the day. The biscuits are light and cakey and they’re surrounded and covered with a molten lava-​like, piping hot gravy. The gravy is homemade and far from the sterile canned stuff you pay an arm and a leg for. There are real pieces of sausage in every bite.
The food distracts you from the «ambience» of the place. Don’t expect first class dining. You have booths straight out of the 70s that you barely fit in, wood paneled walls, and the waitstaff is a little rough around the edges. Don’t let that detract you from having a great made-​to-​order breakfast with quick turnaround. That place is a well-​oiled machine, and your empty stomach will thank you.
