Local, Fresh and Tasty. The Crooked Bass may be new to the Bella Verde Team but it is certainly not new to Babson Park, Florida. The Restaurant was established early in 2016 and is the fulfillment of a lifelong dream for Tim and Tammy Bracewell, residents of Babson Park. Tim loves to cook, and Tammy loves to entertain. Combine both these qualities with tons of experience in the hospitality biz, and the Crooked Bass was born.
Far from fancy, in fact had we not had the recommendation of a trusted friend, we would never have stopped our car here. No reason to dress up, put on a pair of jeans or shorts and a tee shirt, grab your car keys and head to Route 27 South. Babson Park is about 40 minutes away, an easy drive. Although we live in Florida, finding fresh fish can sometimes be a challenge, but not at the Crooked Bass. They run daily specials, and have a nice menu that includes a large selection of burgers, salads, fish, beef, pork and chicken. Insider tip if you ask for the pizza menu you can order a pizza too. We were a group of six, and each of us had something different to eat, including the pizza. Every dish was good, the salads were fresh and crisp, and the blue cheese dressing was homemade. The fish was perfectly prepared, and the ribeye came to the table at the perfect temperature. No one in our group had dessert, but we did order coffee and our waitress brewed a fresh pot for us and that made a perfect ending to a good meal. Crooked Bass has a full bar and lots of beer on tap. Looking for a new place to dine, a great place for lunch or dinner, this restaurant is Worth the drive and worth the try.
