You are so right. Clermont is going to get big, but it’s such a nice, classic downtown area with some great mom & pop places. We hope Clermont maintains its small town charm as it grows.
you have the best selection of bourbons I've ever seen, including some very expensive places in big cities. looks like you've added a ton since this video.
We would love your suggestions! Clermont is one of our favorite Florida towns and we go there often. Our daughter Ioves desserts (and who are we kidding cuz we do, too). We really appreciate you watching and sharing the recommendations!
We love your hometown! We live fairly close to the area and venture to Clermont often. It’s such a beautiful part of Orlando with a great mix of small-town charm and things to do. We really appreciate you watching! And if you have any Clermont recommendations for us please let us know!
7:00 Tiki.. oh!! Keep that hidden lol... that's an amazing place! we did some bday celebrations there on the picnic tables... cheap beer... what can go wrong there!!!
Fully agreed on the Savannah and Atlanta food scenes. We love those cities! Augusta and Macon have come a long way, too, and have some hidden gems for sure
We saw Chad’s Clermont video this morning! He is such a great ambassador for Florida and always has some great finds and informative videos. He actually has professional equipment and editing so we are honored to even be compared to Chad’s channel. The really cool part of UA-cam is connecting with fellow travelers, foodies, and overall positive people. We can’t thank you enough for watching our videos, leaving such nice comments, and for being an overall nice human. Thank you for supporting our channel and we are so thankful to have your support!
We didn’t know anything about Clermont! It’s such a beautiful area! London wants to really try the BBQ! All the burgers look great too! Fun video!! Thanks for all of the recommendations
Now that you have all been to Lake Louisa you just have to keep exploring the area 😀. Clermont is our favorite spot in the greater Orlando area because it gives us small town, lakeside vibes but still has so much to eat and do. We hope you have a great time when you go! And can’t wait to hear what London thinks of Donut King 😉
The food is legit good in Clermont! And I agree with you about Michelle (this is Caleb 😉). Michelle says thank you! We don’t get date nights often so we go all out when we get them. Thanks so much for watching and have a great Sunday!
These are the most fun and delicious videos on the internet. Man that juicy Lucy looks great! And a cold beer would go so well with that. Next time we are in orlando we have to try one of your stops in Claremont, winter park or lake norman. Now I am hungry geez! Yum guys! Tiki bar? Sign me up for a tiki drink. Burger looks legit there as well. Root and branch is totally our speed! Love a good cocktail. Oh the mess of a burger hahah. You killed it in this one. ☝️😎🫠
Thank you so much-this means a lot. We love showcasing all the great foods and drinks in our local area and Clermont truly is a gem. We didn’t intend on doing a burger tour of the area but it kinda just happened that way 😀. You won’t go wrong with any of these burgers! Thanks for the support! We truly appreciate it!
That’s where we learned of the tiki bar! Chad just made another clermont video and it’s great. He is such a good ambassador for all the cool places to eat and see in Florida. Thanks for watching!
Salt Shack is overpriced, nice location. I am a Clermont Resident. Clermont comes a long way, yet way to go. I know I will draw a lot of critique but when it comes to food , as a Californian, Florida still needs to go a way . However, Kudos to Clermont . Roasted spirits is awesome. I hope more Tampa style restaurants will make their way here. It's all just a matter of time, Chef here.
Salt Shack is expensive, that being said we have had consistent great service and tasty food so we keep coming back! Clermont really has come such a long way since we moved to the area nearly 2 decades ago. And it’s kept its small town charm. Thanks so much for watching, Chef!
We just saw Grace O’Maliey’s last week! An authentic British pub is such a nice addition to downtown Clermont. We haven’t tried the food yet but we had a really nice beer and enjoyed the atmosphere. And agreed on the crab leg situation at Salt Shack! Thanks so much for watching!
This is great timing on this recommendation because we were just scoping out Smoke Made Meats and adding it to our list. We are huge fans of central texas style BBQ and then we heard that this place has lines out the door. We will 100 percent check it out-thank you for sharing! Another good BBQ spot is Bo’s Boys BBQ in winter garden. It’s essentially a pop-up BBQ spot on Saturdays and their food is excellent. Thanks for watching!
@@micalebgoeswest that’s how smoke made started before they got their brick and mortar! I’ll check them out in winter garden. Smoke made is to die for! And I grab a beer from rockpit brewery right after or before
Hi! My wife found it for me for Christmas last year on Etsy. Here is the link. Thanks for watching! www.etsy.com/listing/1108960516/girldad-leather-patch-trucker-hat?gpla=1&gao=1&&Cj0KCQiAx9q6BhCDARIsACwUxu7H3rvRGMEWKa-a1CB_mvwrifL-ifyMvH8LwSYpea-sy2MS_ZHttEwaAjMFEALw_wcB_k_&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADtcfRJES-SOnUnMjyMjKu_5tOHgJ&gclid=Cj0KCQiAx9q6BhCDARIsACwUxu7H3rvRGMEWKa-a1CB_mvwrifL-ifyMvH8LwSYpea-sy2MS_ZHttEwaAjMFEALw_wcB
Pork belly is one of our favorite dishes! This one was particularly delicious because of that house made peach jam. I can’t even think about it without getting hungry 😬
Hi there! We live very close by, as well, and those comments were obviously meant to be humorous. Clermont is a wonderful community and we are very proud of it, and it’s growing rapidly as you can probably see. This was all meant to be to be a fun tribute to one of our favorite small towns. Thanks for watching!
Clermont isn’t the same anymore. Used to go there in the 90’s back when it was all orange groves and small farms. Used to see nothing but trees. Now it’s all pavement. Massive highways with the same shopping centers you’d see anywhere in America. Hardly any ma and pop places around. The downtown is almost obsolete because people live far out and just go to Walmart and Applebees. Clermont is hardly the most beautiful city in central Florida 😅 with that being said, I appreciate your reviews and will still check out some of these places even tho I think Clermont has gone to shit
Hi! This is a really interesting perspective since you have been visiting Clermont for so long. We have lived in the central Florida for almost 20 years, but we have only been visiting Clermont for that last 10. But even in those 10 years we have seen HUGE changes to the area. There is always the good and bad with growth. We fully agree that the shopping centers have built up with the same old stores as anywhere else, and the orange groves and green fields are rapidly disappearing. That is sad to see. That being said, we have noticed that downtown clermont has gotten more popular and is far more visited that it used to be. We have seen a revival of the small downtown area as a community hang out and Clermont is a good example. Though we do find it too crowded at times, the downtown area has so much character, local charm, and a mixture of “mom & pop” shops and restaurants that make it worth the visit (definitely worth visiting over the Wal-Mart 😉). We truly appreciate you watching and if you go to any of these spots we hope you get a great meal and a good time to go with it. Thanks!
@@micalebgoeswest I’ll definitely have to check out the downtown area. I remember it wasn’t very hoppin last time I was there but looking at your video it seems it’s thriving more. Hopefully it becomes similar to what they did to downtown Sanford. When I was in high school, the downtown was all boarded up and no one went there. Now it’s totally revived.
Moved in 2022... it sucks... nobody likes anything in here... PLEASE DON'T COME!! STAY AWAY!!!! lol.... we are in love with the city... growing way too fast but it's part of the game...
Ha yes, you can see we are torn 😄. We absolutely LOVE Clermont and really enjoy all the new restaurants and activities that come with a growing city. But….sometimes we do miss the small town nature that seems to be going away a bit. But as long as it is attracting nice people then it’s all okay with us! Thanks for watching and we will see you in Clermont!
Central Florida has gotten WAY too expensive. We’ve lived here for nearly 20 years and have watched the cost of living skyrocket, particularly for housing. If we hadn’t already locked in a home we wouldn’t be able to afford living here so we completely understand your point. It’s just getting so busy and expensive. Wishing you all the best
Oh we completely understand, and to be honest with you most of our Florida friends feel the same way. We have always loved this place but it’s getting too big and expensive for us, too. We understand it’s not a lot of consolation but know that many of us are having similar thoughts about the Orlando area.
I love Clermont! It’s a beautiful lakeside community. It’s growing quick!
You are so right. Clermont is going to get big, but it’s such a nice, classic downtown area with some great mom & pop places. We hope Clermont maintains its small town charm as it grows.
5:20 is our place! Live music and good vibes! amazing!!!
Fully agreed! This is one of our favorite places!

Great video!!! Next time in Clermont do a video on the best desserts in Clermont. I have a few suggestions!
We would love your suggestions! Clermont is one of our favorite Florida towns and we go there often. Our daughter Ioves desserts (and who are we kidding cuz we do, too). We really appreciate you watching and sharing the recommendations!
@@micalebgoeswest Dulce Cups, Sweet_vs_sinful to name a couple
@AskAdrielThat thank you!!!! We have them on the list. We really appreciate it
Will try UliUli... didnt know that.. thanks for sharing! 😀
Uli Uli will not disappoint! We can’t go to Clermont without getting some Hawaiian shave ice 🍧
Hey, that’s where I live. Awesome video!
We love your hometown! We live fairly close to the area and venture to Clermont often. It’s such a beautiful part of Orlando with a great mix of small-town charm and things to do. We really appreciate you watching! And if you have any Clermont recommendations for us please let us know!
1:57 - AGREE!!! lol ....but Salt Shak... hmmmm..... the food was disapointing... I'll try again...
We have only had drinks at the Salt Shack but we are going for dinner next week. Hope the food is good! We do love that atmosphere
@@micalebgoeswest Atmosphere is great! Highly recommended for a beer/booze sunset!
😀
We are definitely staying for the sunset. Thanks for sharing!
7:00 Tiki.. oh!! Keep that hidden lol... that's an amazing place! we did some bday celebrations there on the picnic tables... cheap beer... what can go wrong there!!!
Yea, we may should have kept that place to ourselves 😉. It’s too good to share with the masses!
Georgia boy- you have fantastic food in Savannah and Augusta and of course Atlanta
Fully agreed on the Savannah and Atlanta food scenes. We love those cities! Augusta and Macon have come a long way, too, and have some hidden gems for sure

Try out smoke made meats in Orlando. That’s real bbq right there, I was disappointed in black bear
