For a taste of local culture at a reasonable price, this restaurant at the Miccosukee Indian Village overlooking the River of Grass provides the best variety of food along Tamiami Trail in Everglades territory. A mural depicting Native American women cooking and men engaged in a powwow is the only nod toward atmosphere in this roadside cafeteria setting. Favorites are catfish and frogs' legs breaded and deep-fried, Indian fry bread, pumpkin bread, and Indian burgers and tacos, but you'll also find more common fare, such as burgers, fish, and Hispanic dishes. Try the Miccosukee Platter ($22.95) for a sampling of local favorites, including gator bites. Breakfast and lunch are served daily.
