John Teixeira and his business partner, Devon Tillman, own Outpost Neighborhood Tavern. They described the menu as American with a Southern-inspired twist.
“Our community has really been screaming for new restaurants and new safe spaces,” said Teixeira. “I’m really hopeful that this restaurant will add a lot to the Lake Eola and Thorton Park neighborhoods.”
The restaurant, located on the corner of East Robinson Street and North Eola Drive, will have a phased opening.
The program was originally created by the Community Redevelopment Agency, called the CRA Retail Stimulus Program. In 2023, the program was split in two — one for restaurants and one for retail.
