Where to eat in Apopka
Apopka's dining has shifted toward its revived downtown, around Main Street and Fifth Street just off US-441. Hall's On 5th sits in the restored Hall's Feed Store building, and Don Patron is a short walk away on Main Street, so you can eat at the food hall and have a drink after. The Friday market and music bingo at Hall's draw a crowd, so expect busier evenings then.
Away from downtown, most restaurants line US-441 and the roads toward Ocoee. Takami is on Ocoee Apopka Road near Forest Lake Golf Club, a handy stop for the west side. Wekiwa Springs State Park is a short drive from downtown, so a downtown lunch fits well with a morning swim.
To choose, go by your group. Hall's On 5th is the best bet when everyone wants something different, including vegans, who can head straight to Soulicious. Don Patron fits a date or a night with friends, especially on weekends when DJs play. Takami is the pick for sushi or a quieter dinner on the west side, with online ordering when you want to eat at home.
