“Excellent!!!! Unexpected. Very happy to find this restaurant. Delicious food, served beautifully, seasoned to perfection, and our server, Linda, added to the great experience. Go!”
“we are having a 'staycation' of sorts to visit Anna Maria Island Beach, and I have to stay, after walking to 5(!) restaurants and being turned away, this amazing restaurant allowed me and my family of 5 to stay. Not only did they welcome us, Doug, our server, laughed with my kiddos, treated us like we were royalty and made our little staycation dinner- well...amazing. This is the kind of place that makes a city it resides in..PROUD. The food was nothing short of amazing, I am celiac and struggle on vacations, knowing where to eat. Thankful to God, that this chef is gluten intolerant - so I could eat just about everything on the menu. Do not be discouraged..they might not have a kids menu, but that did not stop Chateau 13 from editing any dish they were interested in to make them smile. I thought they were going to make me order another side of 'frites' to go!”
“Outstanding food and staff. The menu is great. The cuisine was expertly prepared. It was beyond my expectations!”
“The dining experience at Carrabba's, particularly at the Cortez Road location in Bradenton, consistently offers excellent food. The wine dinners are particularly enjoyable, providing both delicious cuisine and beverages at a remarkable value. While the restaurant's decor appears somewhat dated and there was a minor ceiling leak, suggesting a need for renovation, these aspects do not detract from the high quality of the food or the attentive service. Patience and Cole, along with the other waitstaff, were exceptionally considerate. I had a truly delightful evening.”
“In reference to our dinner last evening April 18, 2026. The seating for our table of 7, was very tight seating. The Mrs. and I had the Bolognese, hers was gluten free, both of us had a terrible night sleeping with many bathroom issues. Additionally, I was surprise to see on top of the $200. cash tip I provided, there was an additional tip of over $100.00 added to the check. The waitress that was extremely nice, did not make me aware that there was a tip already added to the check, resulting in a tip of over $300. which in my opinion is a little overboard.”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“I made reservations for my friend's birthday and 2 other guests were joining us. Unfortunately the reservation went to another Tiramisu in another city. Therefore, no reservations showed when our party arrived. The host was icey, lacked empathy or understanding. He was extremely demeaning and haughty. Finally sat us at a table next to the kitchen which was appreciated. Our waiter was stellar and made everything feel friendly again. The food was outstanding......every course. Im a local for 48 years but the host made me feel like an idiot. Never smiled (not to anyone else arriving later). Maybe not the best first impression to offer your patrons.”
“An absolute culinary delight. We have been here six years and now we have finally found a Lakewood Ranch sushi house that delivers flavor, presentation, and explosions of taste. The decor is absolutely on point for Main Street. Well done, Daniel.”

“We were out on a walk and O Bricks was recommended to us for a great dinner spot and it did NOT disappoint. The food was absolutely amazing, quick, fresh and delicious. Our service from Manny and Monique was even better!! Highly recommend, and we will definitely come back next time we are in the area.”

“On 08-03-2025 I ate at the Sonny's restaurant at 631 67th St Cir E in Bradenton, FL. This is a family-style BBQ restaurant with a very comfortable and welcoming ambiance. I arrived for dinner and was promptly seated. I had their Big Deal Turkey on a bun with fries, a side order of baked beans, and an unsweet tea. My food arrived in a timely manner and was cooked properly. It came exactly as I ordered it and was very tasty. A variety of sauces were available, and I selected the Sweet sauce. My server during my visit was Danielle. She was very efficient, kept my tea glass filled, and responded to any and all requests I had. I have had Danielle for a server several times before, and I consistently receive superior service from her. She is always friendly and courteous and takes a genuine interest in her customers, making sure that they have a positive dining experience. She is a credit and an asset to the business. I recommend this restaurant and will be returning there again to eat.”

“Took me & my kids out for lunch here, and the food was amazing, my girls had sushi, me & my son had thee hibachi dinner that comes with soup & salad. They serve you fresh good water with lemon with your meal. ( NO TAP WATER). Their smoothies are very good as well and you can add boba. We will be back to eat there. My kids favorite spot right now. Our waiter was amazing.”
“I had a health concern happen while I was entertaining myself and the locals with some guitar music, good conversation and lots of pool games. I got dehydrated and the paranoia set in hard. Luckily these folks are good people and all my belongings were kept, safely. When I got well and was able to retrieve them. I was well cared for and never made to feel unwelcome though I’m afraid I might have made a fool of myself. Maybe again some day without the dehydration? I hope so!”
“From Roger’s energetic greeting, to Tara’s enthusiastic attention to detail and service, it was a great experience! This place is immaculate (thank Anthony who scrubs booths and tables like an operating room) and happy. Great food and generous portions which equals a good value. The pancakes are a meal by themselves! We eat out every day and this is a wonderful place for breakfast/lunch. Check it out!”
“Island living. Most welcoming people and great spot out of the fray. Cold beer and wine and excellent grouper bites.”
“So much fun! A great date night idea. Randy was super helpful for first-timers. Beautiful atmosphere!”
“Anna Maria Oyster Bar - Ellenton, FL After spending the day at the Florida State Fair in Tampa, my fiancé and I decided to stop by Anna Maria Oyster Bar in Ellenton—and we’re so glad we did! We ordered fried oysters, French fries, and cheese grits, and everything was absolutely delicious. The oysters were fried to perfection, crispy on the outside yet tender and flavorful inside. The cheese grits were just the way I like them—nice and thick—and the fries were a great complement to the meal. Even better, our food arrived quickly and fresh. Our waitress, Lilly, was fantastic, providing friendly and attentive service. We also appreciated how the rest of the staff greeted us warmly as we walked through the restaurant. It’s little details like that that make a place feel extra welcoming. The restaurant itself was clean and well-kept, including the bathrooms, which is always a big plus. Anna Maria Oyster Bar now has four locations, and after this experience, I’d definitely visit again. If you’re in the Ellenton area and craving fresh seafood with great service, this spot is a must-try!”

“Last night we enjoyed dinner and came to see Jason Ricci and the Bad Kind band. Outstanding! Our food was creative and enjoyable and the scene was electric. Dave has done such an amazing job transforming a small backyard into a soulful, comforting courtyard. The band exceeded expectations too!”

“Absolutely love these burgers. My daughter and I went there 3/26/25 This was the first time I had a “smashed” burger and I figured it would be dry. Yes I was skeptical to say the least. I was in for a big surprise!!! Great burgers, It’s a good truck but the service was great. Today will be the 2nd time we will be going back… Did i mention great burgers? I had the Oklahoma burger, and I’m getting it again.”
“the food was amazing! we got 2 pizzas, wings, and buffalo chicken dip. everything was delicious. service was horrible. waited a long time for someone to even come over there. after our food arrived shortly and we finished we waited FORVER on the bill. we could had walked out. ridiculous! overall we were sat outside on a beautiful evening and there was a gorgeous sunset. and the sun was in my husbands eyes and we asked nicely to but the umbrella up. that was short lived. we were informed that the umbrella was broke. and had to sit with the sun in his eyes. the money they receive should be plenty enough to buy a new umbrella.”

“My son and I are visiting my aunt here in Bradenton and she asked us what we wanted to eat for dinner. Since my husband typically doesn’t like when I cook or eat fish, I told her I’d like to find a good fish restaurant. :) She took us to seasons 52 and it did not disappoint. I had the trout and it was amazing!!!! The seasoning on the fish, potatoes and asparagus was top notch, and the portions were so filling. We ate until we were stuffed. Matthew was our server and he was so knowledgeable and took great care of us. The room was a little dark for my taste, but I understand it was the ambience for probably more of a date night vibe rather than family dinner. In all, I would highly recommend seasons 52. If I lived closer, I would definitely make this a regular stop.”
“Absolutely our favorite restaurant! The owners, staff all make you feel at home. The service, food, wine, music and atmosphere is perfect. Scarpino’s is definitely are GO To Spot, whether by ourselves or hosting company. Be sure to check it out! Ciao, Ciao!”
“My son took me to Little To Jo for my birthday. It was one of the most pleasant meals out i have had in a long time. The food was exceptional and the plates were over flowing. The wait staff were courteous, smiling and trying to please. The decor was calm and you could talk to your dinner companions. I had a wonderful conversation with the table next to us. I will definitely go there again. It is one of the best restaurants in my area.”

“Ayissa provided us with top tier service! Kind, friendly and such an amazing soul!!! Tyrell The Chef… his food was the best we have ever had at this location!!!! He knows his stuff in the kitchen!!! GIVE THEM NOTHING A RAISE, They deserve it!!! What a great team they are, don’t loose them!!!”
“They rightly closed on Sunday no one told me we seen appointment was sun my company im with. Lucked out got there new guard um polite but new didn't check me in properly and if shift Foreman had not happen to see me I would be not unloaded . They unloaded after they called their boss. Load special load for project in Florida soon between this company and another. So product was needed. My 2nd time this place in a few years time inside dock i went either time tight but as they was closed Sunday was much easier.”
“You know that Mickey D craving that hits every now & then and you try & ignore because a lot of times when you give in, the experience doesn’t go well? Then your pocketbook, extremely pinched from the current administration’s blatant lack of awareness or connectedness to the common American tells you to go the cheapest route if you can’t cook for yourself tonight? ( Seriously, 14-20$ for a burger now?!)
Well, I caved and went for a Qtr #er w/bacon meal and actually did the dine in experience at this location. What an amazing experience! This McD’s was spotless, no off odors, empty trash bins, clean counters, unbelievably helpful servers. Bring the meal to the table, polite, engaged, HAPPY!! Burger was excellent!
Parking lot clean, swept, all the good feels.
So thankful for a great experience! The owners should be very, very proud.”
“I've been to all of the McDonalds locations in bradenton and this one consistently has fresh food. The fries are always piping hot and crispy and this time I got the 2 cheeseburger meal and I have never had a fresher bun from a fast food restaurant...like ever. Definitely recommend eating at this location if you are in the area and you're hungry.”
“It's my 1st time @ an Indian restaurant like this 1. The service is great and friendly. Also, the food is so delicious. Especially the Alu Samosa and the Mango Lassi because they're officially my favorite stuff.”

“We have always liked coming to Cracker Barrell. Food is always what you expect, good and comforting! Our server Casey went above and beyond today. She was a delight! She was very attentive without being overbearing. She made nice small talk without holding us up or dragging anything out.”
“Hands down the BEST pies around!!! Mermaid Pies was recommended to us by some friends while visiting Bradenton… fast forward a few years later (and many slices later) we had Shawna cater pies for our Wedding. It was the highlight of the night, every single guest raved about how fantastic the pies were. I HIGHLY recommend the key lime coconut cream - you will not be disappointed! Shawna the owner is also the sweetest, we love supporting her and her business and can’t wait to visit again soon!”
“Loved our service , meal and admired the beautiful decor. Great dining experience! I will be back soon !”
“Most amazing German food that I’ve ever had. Servers were very friendly & knowledgeable about the dishes that the chef creates. Add in authentic German beer and this place is a must visit. Definitely worth the drive if you are anywhere nearby. I could eat here every meal as there are many options and everything tastes wonderful. Sehr gutt und wundebar!”

“Thai Bistro was our first stop on vacation and wow were we surprised! Not only was the food amazing, the customer service and hospitality were incredible! We told the owner that we had never been here before and she explained her favorite recipes with enthusiasm and incredible detail. The owner is passionate about making the food / each plate/ delicious and fresh. Impressive hearing about where she finds the very best ingredients and we loved hearing about the legacy of some of these recipes. When she brought out our food, she also brought a plate of spices, all homemade. Highly recommend! (Pictured below: pineapple fried rice in a grilled pineapple)”
“Best Thai in Bradenton! Fast and friendly service and the most relaxing and well decorated atmosphere. Food was fantastic, portions were amazing. Highly recommend, I’ll 100% be back when I visit the area next year❤️”
“We've been coming to first watch once a week for 3 years and last week we had the pleasure of having Alyssa as our server. everyone is always great and friendly but Alyssa was hands down the best server we've ever had. The food came out fast and she anticipated all sorts of things for my one year old that made the experience so much better. the food is great and better at this location than any other and the servers are all fantastic.”

“I normally don’t leave reviews for good or bad service and food BUT this place deserves a review for literally the best garlic knots, pinwheels, rolls, anything that is made out of their fresh dough. I had zero expectations and they have exceeded them millions of times with great service and amazing food. Unfortunately I don’t live close by but maybe that is a good thing. Hats off to this amazing kept secret.”
“The popusa was good, the quesadilla too but the tacos weren’t good. The meat didn’t look good and didn’t taste good. My husband try one. He tried but couldn’t eat it all. We told one waitress and she didn’t say anything, she sat down to eat. We told the cashier at the moment she gave us a dirty look and proceeded to charge us for the one taco he ate, ok but she didn’t have to give us an attitude. Won’t be coming back that’s for sure.”
“Came in for dinner a while back for their special Osso Bucco ,this was a limited special,but the special was already sold out. Ordered their chicken alfredo. My wife and I have been back several times. Best keep secret in town. You will be more than pleased.”

“Between the hospitality and the warm environment, our experience at KeKe’s Breakfast on Cortez Rd was nothing short of amazing. The delicious food, the wonderful customer service made this experience truly memorable. We will be back again soon. Thanks to Cookie and Karen for a fun and enjoyable breakfast experience.”
“Best hot corned beef on rye this side of town. Keep saying I'll try something else but the corned beef usually wins out, just can't help myself. Light mustard and a side potato salad. Perfect. Thank you for todays lunch, ladies. Maybe next time I'll order something new...”
“Attardi's is the best pizza place in Sarasota, and I'm Italian and am picky. And, for you West Virginia's who miss your state's famous "pepperoni rolls" - Attardi's has them, and they're as good or better than any you can get in the Mountaineer state. George the owner/chef has amazing attention to detail, cooks everything perfectly with the finest ingredients. He's a perfectionist (you can tell by watching him). This place is a gem. Just Fyi.”
“What a wonderful restaurant! I’ve been coming here for years and have never once been disappointed. Every visit feels like walking into a friend’s home—warm, welcoming, and full of AMAZING FOOD. Everything is always fresh and absolutely DELICIOUS! 👏👏 The authentic Italian dishes are incredible, and I’m so thankful that they always accommodate my dietary restrictions. It truly makes me feel genuinely cared for—they already know my needs and always have a plan in place. It means SO MUCH to feel that kind of attention and thoughtfulness. Thank you for making every experience so special. I truly LOVE this place! 💜💜”
“Delicious authentic Jamaican cuisine. Friendly staff. You feel like you are in Jamaica when you enter Rodneys!”

“My son and dil asked me where I wanted to eat for a belated Mother's Day dinner(my choice}. I wanted to have hibachi since I haven't had it for a long time. After reviewing what was somewhat close by and reviews, I chose Izumi. So happy I did. The food was wonderful as well as the staff, drinks, and entertainment. Told them first time there and will be back!”
“Wow - Ortygia has moved forward to a fun and interactive cooking classes, specialty parties, wine dinners and more . Without the restaurant anymore there is so much happening - for low this page and make a reservation- you won’t be sorry. I have been 3 times for series 1,2,and 3 cooking classes - enjoying wonderful filling vegetarian dinners that everyone will love - and you take the recipes home. Wine flows freely, delicious food and great conversation abounds and then you eat - enjoying the Italian scents and savoring the goodness of fresh ingredients. A definite go to on my list and looking forward to making many delicious meals.”
“I’m so happy to have found Post! Went for the first time tonight to celebrate me and my husbands anniversary and we had a wonderful experience! When we were seated we were welcomed with a complimentary glass of champagne. They made our night feel extra special and the food was delicious! To top if off, they even gave us a complimentary slice of mouthwatering cheesecake! Thank you, Post! We can’t wait to come back! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“I’ve been here one other time. Tonight I remembered to post. LJ is a BADASS bartender. Waits on the entire bar AND the tables. If you come here once, and drink a cocktail, you’ll never go anywhere else again!”
“Juan was our waiter and he was great! The food was hot, served timely; he anticipated refills; we didn't have to track him down to ask for something. It was a totally wonderful dining experience and we will ask for him again!”
“We had an amazing brunch yesterday! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was rustic and inviting. Our waitress, Beth, was absolutely wonderful—so attentive and cheerful, she really made our experience special! Now, let’s talk about the food! I ordered the fried green tomatoes BLT, and it was fantastic! The combination was delightfully crunchy and packed with flavor. My friends tried a variety of dishes: the BBQ pork baked potato was a hit, truly hearty and satisfying. The shrimp basket was crispy and perfectly cooked, while the BBQ sliders were a delightful burst of flavor in every bite. One of our friends had the fried grouper, which looked delicious and was perfectly seasoned. Oh, and we can’t forget about the Bloody Marys! They were the perfect complement to our meal, refreshing and robust with just the right kick! All in all, this brunch experience was a blast! Great food, awesome service, and a cozy vibe. I can’t wait to go back! 🍽️🥂✨ #BrunchGoals #RoadKillIYKYK #AmazingEats #ThankYouBeth”

“First place we stopped on our trip was a gem! Amazing food, wonderful service! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“We alas finally got the chance to visit this "brilliant" place on 7.24.2024!!! We sat outsyde since indeed we brought our companion- Hamish, our Border Collie. We were immediately accomodated by the hostess with a fan pointed out way (oppresively hot!) and water for Hamish and a view of what was to come! Only the beginnings of great service and outstanding food: Camille P. our hostess came out immediately with smiles, suggestions and patience. We ordered our drinks (starting with 2-Conch Republic Key Lime Wheat beers) and our brilliant appetizer all brought with no rush nor bad tyming! We then ordered our appetizer which was both unique and most tasty- The Caprese Guac! Two more drinks of choice- the Honey Thyme Smoke Olde Fasioned & a Citrus Cannon- again spot on and magical! For our main my wife and I split the Bee Sting Pizza and the Crispy Chicken Cobb Salad both enough for a split of 4 people with a taste and presentation like none other! Our relaxing and "take a breath" meal/day was finished off with a Pinapple Upside Down Cake (had to try it) to go! Needless to go on and on but we couldn't have been more impressed. We have lived in this area for 2+ years and treat ourselves weekly but never has the treat been so outstanding what with Camille P's humor, efficiency and shared knowledge but unique and abundant food we will be equally back for tyme and again... cheers to ownership (always reflected in the professionalism and great atmosphere of staff, thus planning and providing a place second to none! Steve & Shannon H”
“My wife and I came for dinner. The New Age Flatbread was AWESOME. Crust was amazing.. Shrimp Cocktail Great! and Osso Bucco was to die for! The meat fell off the bone and melted in you mouth. Kirby was our server and was just terrific.. She was friendly and very attentive.”
“I gotta say, Alicia at Paddywagon is awesome! She’s super friendly and makes you feel right at home as soon as you walk in. Even when the place is packed, she never lets you wait too long for a drink. Alicia knows her stuff when it comes to making drinks. She’s quick, and her cocktails are always spot on. Plus, she’s really good at remembering what you like if you’re a regular. She’s always got a smile on her face and is up for a chat, which makes hanging out at Paddywagon even better. The bar’s always clean and she handles everything like a pro, even when things get a little crazy. If you’re looking for a good time and great service, Alicia’s your girl. Go check her out at Paddywagon – you won’t be disappointed!”
“We had a fantastic experience at Compass Bar & Chill -- thanks to our wonderful server, Cindy. She was incredibly friendly and hospitable, making us feel right at home from the moment we sat down at the pool area. Cindy promptly took our drink orders and brought them with a smile, then followed up to take our food order. Everything—from the delicious fish tacos to the perfectly cooked quesadillas—was spot on. She checked in to make sure everything was to our liking, and her attentive service truly stood out. Five stars all the way!”
“My total dinning experience was amazing. The only thing they should change is the music, it's an Italian Reztsurant it should be Italian music”
“I absolutely love their Penne Al Vodka with Chicken, Greek salad, and of course pizza! Fast friendly service. We order at least once a week! A must try in Bayshore”
“I went yesterday and sat in RILEY’s section. Mind you I think she might have been the sweetest, kindest most helpful server I have ever had. She answered our questions with easy. And made sure my drink was always filled. I will be coming back to sit in her section. Thank you for being such a delight when the world is filled with ugly rude people.”
“We've had Angie as our bartender a few times now, and we absolutely love her! Always come back in hopes of seeing her. Love the vibes of this establishment and cannot wait to be served by her more!”
“Love the amazing friendly atmosphere. Great food, great music and especially our bartender Trever. He always makes sure you have exactly what you need and what you want. Pay attention to detail.!”

“The overall service use to be amazing at this Olive Garden. We have come here several times over the years and this is the worst front staff I’ve ever experienced. I checked in and was told it would be a 15 minute wait and told them that I had people coming but instead of seating us after 25 minutes passed I came up to ask the pregnant hostess if they were waiting for my party or something because we’ve been waiting and she was like oh yeah yeah we are without so much as looking at me or apologizing for the wait. There were several of them up there that were just laughing and joking around unprofessionally and the pregnant hostess was eating up there talking with the other ladies at the podium while they ignored us. She disappeared completely for several minutes and after 30 minutes I asked a girl who showed up if we were going to be seated because my party was waiting. She said she would check because she just got there. She went to find the pregnant hostess and told her we were waiting 30 minutes and my daughter overheard her denying it. I’m just not used to that at any restaurant. If you tell me 15 minutes and it’s not busy in there then we have better be seated whether we are waiting for people to arrive or not. It put me in such a terrible mood that I wanted to leave but thankfully our waiter came right away and was amazing. He was very attentive and kind and I felt he deserved a good tip. What made me write this review was when we left there were a gaggle of women at the front with the pregnant hostess and we all noticed that they just stared at us and didn’t say the usual thank you have a good night. No one bothered to politely open the door like they have always done for us in the past. You just knew that they we’re talking bad about you. If this is what this Olive Garden restaurant is turning into then I have to stop coming. I don’t know what’s up with those women but this is their place of work not a place to gossip and bullshit about their life or talk shit about their paying customers who are there to be treated with some measure of respect and kindness when they are out with their family for dinner. I hope a manager sees this review and addresses this issue of plain rudeness. We are also not white and so obviously white people were being treated better and seated immediately. By the way, our pregnant hostess was black but for some reason thinks it’s ok to be rude to us. If this ever happens to us again, a complaint will definitely be filed to your corporate management or the BBB. I will not tolerate this behavior in front of my family.”
“We had not only a lovely dinner, but our server Lauren was a delight. We have been here a million times, and the last time we were here, our server was a snotty b***** I hope she is no longer here. Again, Lauren is fantastic! And a real sweetheart.”
“Delicious food friendly attentive service ! Big menu many mouth watering choices!”
“The wings place is in Chili's, but it's great wings for an awesome price!! The Apple BBQ sauce is surprisingly Apple-y, but in the best way possible. The garlic parmesan is a good garlic parm wing and not greasy. And the Honey Chipotle is sort of a sweet glaze with just a hint of the Chipotle.The Apple BBQ is our favorite, but the ones we've tried are really good! Definitely recommend if you're in the mood for wings!”
“A very pleasant surprise that we stumbled upon. We decided to drive back into IMG at the 53rd Street entrance. We found the Legacy hotel. That’s where we found the cozy Icon grill. It happened to be happy hour an appetizers were half off along with drink specials. The food was excellent and we have shared this special place with many friends. The atmosphere was a bit loud since it sits almost in the hotel lobby. The outside is quiet and beautiful, sitting on a small lagoon.”
“Decent food. Had a quesadilla. Camecwith fries. But nothing had a price that's the only issue I had. Had two quesadillas and my son had a burrito it was three of us total with three drinks it was 45.00”
“I am fairly new to DW & have had 5 experiences with the Lake House. All of them top-notch. From what I have heard this resturant was troubled in the past (I cannot speak to this). The staff, manager, food, drinks & service have all been quite good. It is a relaxing establishment, relaxing atmosphere so best advice... RELAX. Enjoy, don't be rushed, sit back & chill.”
“The manager KATE is AMAZING! She is the best hands on, team orientated, hospitality centered manager I have ever seen. We love chili’s and coming to this location was a real treat all because of her. <3 The food and service was excellent as always.”
“good food. Tiffany. our waitress was great. She made a good meal excellent.”
“Just returned from a great short trip to Bradenton Fl. Had a chance to visit here briefly. Wasn't sure what to expect due to some negative reviews. As a veteran server myself, I was very impressed with the food quality and service as well as the view. Started out with Cajun shrimp. Yum! Onto Pasta Primavera. Cooked perfectly. I always say all diners should have to do this job double shift just for one day. I totally recommend this restaurant while in the area.”
“The people working there are awesome! The food is great! Will definitely stop there again next time we go to Costco.”
“Wonderful and kind people serving us with very delicious food 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼”
“DELICIOUS, super crispy wings & fries! husband and i think its better than the restaurant itself! everyone here is also super nice and friendly! will definitely be coming back!”
“Great food and delicious drinks. The waitress was very good and friendly”
“Alcohol, bartenders and servers were very attentive and did a great job. Unfortunately the food truck was not available for us that afternoon, so although the staff tried to call a food order into Wilders, it didn't turn out well. The wait on the food was so much and much more than their staff told us and most of the party left before it came. My suggestion is just go there to drink. If you are looking for food and the food truck isn't available then go somewhere else.”
“Joslyn is my favorite server! She serves with heart, compassion, and she doesn’t miss a beat on providing outstanding service.
Definitely request to be seated in Joslyn’s section. She is the best!!”
“Delicious! Heavily recommend this place ❤ their kimchi fried rice is to die for! Dumplings taste great and aren't soggy at all. Was very impressed. 👍”

“We have always liked coming to Cracker Barrell. Food is always what you expect, good and comforting! Our server Casey went above and beyond today. She was a delight! She was very attentive without being overbearing. She made nice small talk without holding us up or dragging anything out.”
“My son and dil asked me where I wanted to eat for a belated Mother's Day dinner(my choice}. I wanted to have hibachi since I haven't had it for a long time. After reviewing what was somewhat close by and reviews, I chose Izumi. So happy I did. The food was wonderful as well as the staff, drinks, and entertainment. Told them first time there and will be back!”
“I made reservations for my friend's birthday and 2 other guests were joining us. Unfortunately the reservation went to another Tiramisu in another city. Therefore, no reservations showed when our party arrived. The host was icey, lacked empathy or understanding. He was extremely demeaning and haughty. Finally sat us at a table next to the kitchen which was appreciated. Our waiter was stellar and made everything feel friendly again. The food was outstanding......every course. Im a local for 48 years but the host made me feel like an idiot. Never smiled (not to anyone else arriving later). Maybe not the best first impression to offer your patrons.”
“We had a fantastic experience at Compass Bar & Chill -- thanks to our wonderful server, Cindy. She was incredibly friendly and hospitable, making us feel right at home from the moment we sat down at the pool area. Cindy promptly took our drink orders and brought them with a smile, then followed up to take our food order. Everything—from the delicious fish tacos to the perfectly cooked quesadillas—was spot on. She checked in to make sure everything was to our liking, and her attentive service truly stood out. Five stars all the way!”
“I use our local store on Cortez here in Bradenton Florida. Atleast once a week we get one of full boxes, the kids love these sandwiches. They never fail! I have them catered, they are here on time everytime, and quality is GREAT! I recommend them! They have a great selection and they wont let you down”
“We go there both Tue and Wed happy hours and have the specials on the menu.. The food is normally good and inexpensive but this last Wed the wings were over cooked to a point you couldn'eat them. I complained to the bartender who was new (no uniform) who didn't seem interested. But that being said, Ed's is a great place although crowded at times.”
“Absolutely love these burgers. My daughter and I went there 3/26/25 This was the first time I had a “smashed” burger and I figured it would be dry. Yes I was skeptical to say the least. I was in for a big surprise!!! Great burgers, It’s a good truck but the service was great. Today will be the 2nd time we will be going back… Did i mention great burgers? I had the Oklahoma burger, and I’m getting it again.”
“In reference to our dinner last evening April 18, 2026. The seating for our table of 7, was very tight seating. The Mrs. and I had the Bolognese, hers was gluten free, both of us had a terrible night sleeping with many bathroom issues. Additionally, I was surprise to see on top of the $200. cash tip I provided, there was an additional tip of over $100.00 added to the check. The waitress that was extremely nice, did not make me aware that there was a tip already added to the check, resulting in a tip of over $300. which in my opinion is a little overboard.”

“On 08-03-2025 I ate at the Sonny's restaurant at 631 67th St Cir E in Bradenton, FL. This is a family-style BBQ restaurant with a very comfortable and welcoming ambiance. I arrived for dinner and was promptly seated. I had their Big Deal Turkey on a bun with fries, a side order of baked beans, and an unsweet tea. My food arrived in a timely manner and was cooked properly. It came exactly as I ordered it and was very tasty. A variety of sauces were available, and I selected the Sweet sauce. My server during my visit was Danielle. She was very efficient, kept my tea glass filled, and responded to any and all requests I had. I have had Danielle for a server several times before, and I consistently receive superior service from her. She is always friendly and courteous and takes a genuine interest in her customers, making sure that they have a positive dining experience. She is a credit and an asset to the business. I recommend this restaurant and will be returning there again to eat.”
“Two years ago I gave Applebee's a great rating. There was a different management then. We have been twice recently. First time the food was a one star. Gave it another try last night. Worse than the first night. The new management and business is horrible. Without going into details, just look at the number of cars in the lot. That is telling. It used to be full most of the time. Enjoy your night out elsewhere!!”
“Excellent all the food, my wife and I visit Golden Corral 2 or 3 times a month, and we do it with great pleasure and because the service of the staff is very good,,,,,but today, we had a meeting of 10 people, and I arrived first to reserve 2 tables, but the manager Jeffrey, told me that I could not do that, and with a very bad attitude, he told me that if I did not like it I should leave, and I did not like this treatment towards me, and I replied that I did not like his attitude, and he told me that if I wanted to fight,,,,I replied no,,, what I wanted him to change his attitude towards the consumer, I hope that they correct the behavior of the manager Jeffrey. THANK YOU.”
“My folks loved to bring me here and when I tell you the staff was great I mean it. They welcomed me every time and loved seeing me come in the door. I was always happy to see them as well and love the choices and options available. My folks loved the chicken tenders but whatever was had was amazing and we loved it. I was always welcomed so friendly.”

“A nice place with nice servers. Food was reasonably priced and very good. My hubby is somewhat picky, so when he likes a place, that's unusual. He mentioned how the oil in which his food was fried had to be fresh. No old oil taste. Each day has a different special, so you may want to check before you go.”
