The Trough — Restaurant in Florida

The Trough is a food stand inside Starkey Market, offering a variety of delicious options in a laid-back atmosphere. We decided to stop by for lunch and enjoy the food while soaking in the market's lively surroundings.

From the menu, we ordered: Chicken Wings with Garlic Parmesan, Nachos,Smothered BBQ Chicken Sandwich, Bruschetta, Fried Green Tomatoes.

We started our meal with the Chicken Wings and Nachos. The wings were perfectly cooked, flavorful, and coated in a rich Garlic Parmesan sauce. The nachos were crispy, well-seasoned, and paired nicely with the wings.

The highlight of our meal was the Smothered BBQ Chicken Sandwich--a juicy, tender chicken patty topped with fresh salad.

Ultimately, I’ve started going to the actual market side and eating there when the family wants to make a trip to Starkey Market/The Trough.

I do Love the...

This is the more-recently-added food stand that is part of Starkey Market. It’s an order and pickup window style food stand with a decent amount of picnic tables under covered seating. We ordered the grown up grilled cheese, chicken wings and chicken salad sandwich. All of the food we had was very good overall.

Took off a star partly because the fries were very salty for my taste, but mainly because the order took just over 20 minutes (with only one order ahead of ours). On the plus side you at least know the food is made fresh, but for a place with a fast food setup, you would expect the orders to come out quicker. Overall we enjoyed, just be...
