JAXSON’S 3.75
443 Lake June Rd., Lake Placid / (863) 465-4674
If you want to get the true flavor of Lake Placid,
visit Jaxson’s. Numerous reviews say not to judge
a book by its cover, including this one:
“ This place has absolutely no curb appeal
because the curb and parking lot are at the
back of the restaurant! This makes perfect
sense when you discover that the front is a
beautiful patio facing a lake !”
— Steven B. of Orlando / Yelp reviewer
Jaxson’s, on its face, is very unassuming—If you didn’t
know it was a restaurant, you might drive right by it.
Don’t be fooled though. Inside, guests are stunned to
find sunny a patio and an open view of the lake. The food
also gets great reviews including the prime rib and the
blackened gator tails.
