Bob is reporting live from the fabulous Davenport Diner.  As a duck who knows something about comfort and coziness, I decided to waddle over and test this diner.  Spoiler alert: I was not disappointed!

First off, let’s talk about the decor.  The moment I waddled through the door, I was greeted by a warm, welcoming atmosphere that felt like a big hug.

The walls are adorned with heartfelt tributes to the military, showcasing photos and memorabilia that genuinely honour those who have served.  It’s a unique touch, adding a sense of respect and patriotism that warms even my rubbery heart.  The diner perfectly balances nostalgia and comfort, making it a great place to relax and enjoy a meal.

Now, let’s talk about the service.  I was fortunate to be served by the fabulous Angie, whose friendly demeanour and quick service made my dining experience even more special.  She knows how to make a rubber duck feel at home, and her exceptional service is a testament to the diner’s commitment to customer satisfaction.

I started with the biscuits, gravy, eggs, and sausage links.  Oh boy!  The biscuits were fluffy and light, almost like floating on a gentle wave.  The gravy was rich and savoury, with just enough seasoning to make my taste buds quack with joy.  The eggs were cooked perfectly—sunny-side up, how I like them!  And the sausage links?  Juicy and flavorful, they complemented the dish beautifully.  I could hardly contain my excitement as I dove into this delicious spread!

Next up was the French toast with hash browns.  The French toast was golden-brown, thick, fluffy, and sweet enough to make my rubbery self swoon.  A drizzle of syrup made it even more delightful.  The hash browns were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside—just the way I like them!  Together, these dishes made for a breakfast that left me feeling as buoyant as ever.

A special shout-out goes to Betsy, the lovely lady who recommended this gem of a diner to me.  Thanks to her, I had a delightful dining experience that I won’t soon forget.  I’m genuinely grateful for her recommendation.

In conclusion, Davenport Diner is a must-visit for anyone in the area.  This diner has earned my rubber duck approval with its charming decor, delicious dishes, and top-notch service from Angie.  So, if you find yourself nearby, don’t hesitate to stop and enjoy a meal that will leave you quacking with delight!  By the way, this diner was so great we returned the next day and learned a lesson.  Everyone else knows how great it is, so the lineup was out the door.  Next time we will go earlier.

Quack, quack, my fellow food adventurers!  Today, I waddled my way to The Hungry Crab in sunny Davenport, Florida, and let me tell you, it was an ocean of joy just waiting to be splashed into!  This quirky little seafood spot is like a treasure chest for all crustacean lovers, and I was ready to dive right in.

As soon as I flapped my wings through the door, I was met with a buzz of energy that felt like a tidal wave of happiness.  The décor was a whimsical nod to all things nautical—think vibrant blues and sunshine yellows that made my rubber heart swell with delight.  It had all the charm of a beachside shack, perfect for families, friends, and curious quackers like me looking to feast on sea-inspired delights!

Let’s dive into the real star of the feast: the seafood boil!  Oh boy, where to start?  Three mouthwatering boils circled onto our table, making my little ducky heart flutter with excitement!  We dove into the dazzling Snow Crab Legs Boil, Special Combo One, and Special Combo Two.  Just imagine this: succulent Snow Crab legs bursting with flavour, ready to be devoured, teamed up with Combo One’s plump black mussels and shrimp that practically leaped off the plate in jubilation.  And Combo Two?  Oh, it cranked the flavour dial up to eleven with spicy sausages that had my taste buds doing the cha-cha!  One quirky addition had my humans clapping their wings in delight – a couple of hard-boiled chicken eggs.  But sorry, there’s not even a chance I could try those!

One of the most thrilling features at The Hungry Crab is the opportunity to adjust your spice level!  Being no ordinary ducky, I chose the ‘spicy’ option, and let me tell you, it was a burst of excitement!  Each bite was a whirlwind of flavours that made me quack with joy.  The spices blended perfectly with the fresh seafood, creating a harmony that was nothing short of a culinary symphony.

But wait, there’s more!  The sides were to die for, my friends.  I couldn’t resist the garlic butter corn on the cob.  Sweet, juicy, and oh-so-tender, it was the perfect complement to the bold and briny flavours of the boil.  And let’s not skip over the potatoes—soft, buttery morsels soaked in that delectable broth, nibbled on like little clouds of joy.  I could have feasted on those all day long!

Now, let’s talk about the service.  The staff at The Hungry Crab treated me like a special little ducky!  They were not only friendly, but they fluttered around, ensuring I had everything I needed.  I received some fantastic recommendations for dipping sauces, and who could resist trying their homemade garlic butter?  Let me tell you, it was a game-changer—like sprinkling magic on my meal!

In conclusion, The Hungry Crab is an absolute must-visit for anyone in the Davenport area craving a seafood adventure that’s as fun as it is flavorful.  Whether you’re a seasoned seafood enthusiast or a brave little quacker like me, I guarantee you’ll leave with a happy tummy and a joyful heart.  Until next time, keep those taste buds ready for more delicious escapades!
