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.
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 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!
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!
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!
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!
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 😉
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!
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!
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
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.
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.
Chad who I learned about through you guys recently did another Claremont video made me want to watch your video again. You make good videos

Chad Gallivanter also told to go there. Thanks guys !

Great video!!! Next time in Clermont do a video on the best desserts in Clermont. I have a few suggestions!

@@micalebgoeswest Dulce Cups, Sweet_vs_sinful to name a couple
@AskAdrielThat thank you!!!! We have them on the list. We really appreciate it
Elevated dining experience lol 😂
Approachable elevated dining-Not fully elevated 😉

@@micalebgoeswest We'll be back in the area in August! Looking forward to it!
If y’all need any recommendations please let us know! We would be happy to help. Looking forward to seeing your adventures!
Grace o'malieys is new as well, it's where the old graffiti junction use to be, salt shack is good but no crab legs... I was sad to hear that

Your daughter’s talking! Nice video.
She is talking up a storm 😀. It’s such a fun stage. Thanks so much for watching! We are proud of our local clermont area
Food looks so good, and you looked so pretty on date night

@@micalebgoeswest ya'll do the same😊
Try out smoke made meats in Orlando. That’s real bbq right there, I was disappointed in black bear

A beer at a local brewery followed by dang good BBQ? I think you just planned our next weekend for us 😉. Thanks so much for the recommendations!
I like pork belly too

Kind of hypocritical making a video promoting Clermont yet saying don't come. Signed- A Clermont Resident

@@karal902 we hope you enjoy it! Downtown Sanford is awesome and there are definitely some similarities. We hope you are pleasantly surprised 😀
