Restaurants with Delivery
“Always stopped by every time I come in town to see my parents . Nice groups of people, great service, great food and drinks menu selections, and nice outdoor seatings. Highly recommended booking a reservation for a group of 2 or more. They also make the best chocolate martini in town!”

But the server Amanda was there all by her self… cashier, drinks, waitress, food runner and busser!!! For the whole restaurant!!!!!! And was giving excellent service, with a smile!!!!

“Literally my new favorite restaurant. Chicken and rice is my favorite meal, but the sauce/topping has to be flavorful, the rice has to be fluffy, and the chicken has to be quality. This place checks all the boxes amazingly. I spent 6 weeks in Bradenton and enjoyed the boneless wings (sweet chili) and rice 6 times. On a couple occasions I treated myself to a mango smoothie. I love the fact that you can dial down the sugar content if you want.”

“We tried Vernona Gourmet - Authentic Hungarian Restaurant earlier this week and we were very impressed and happy with the whole experience. Definitely in the rotation now. I have a new favorite comfort food now too - chicken paprikash - yum!!”

“Truly divine, I am Venezuelan and I came from Arkansas, they recommended this place to me and they were not wrong!!! The service, the food, the atmosphere all super delicious!! I recommend it 100%, I came with some Cuban friends and they were ”
“Adobe has been my home away from home for years. You may come for the delicious beverages In a chill spot, but you’ll stay for the unique community that this place fosters. 10/10.”
“This place is amazing, I love the coffee so much I been there two days in a row now. Since I'm not from here it was a nice change from the chain coffee shops. Oh and the falafel breakfast sandwich was amazing. I would recommend this to everyone. Also I love supporting small businesses.”

“I went there for lunch today with a friend. Great tasting Fair Food!! The deep fried oreo and chocolate malt were amazingly delicious. The food is reasonably priced. I definitely will be going back!!”
Outdoor Dining
“Best drinks hands down! Max the bar guru is amazing not only does he made the drinks exactly the same every time he remembers my drinks and every single persons drink that we bring in with us days and weeks later.”
“What a nice hidden gem for Bradenton! Since moving out to rural southern Hillsborough County, we have longed for a higher-end restaurant experience. Our daughter turned us on to MJ's and, with high hopes, we set off to find this rather non-descript exterior tucked next to a convenience store just off SR64. Don’t let the exterior fool you. Inside, the food, service and ambiance exceeded our every expectation. Five of us sampled six different menu offerings and all of us were struck by the complex flavors a good kitchen can produce. A clearly well-experienced server, Mattie was knowledgeable about the entire menu, attentive to our needs -- but not to a fault -- and allowed us to proceed at our own pace. Can’t wait to return and try some more dishes!”
“Been here twice and ill be back many more times! The food is so good! So good! The service is amazing! Everything about this place is beyond compare. Freshest pico, actually spicy hot sauce, and the most refreshing agua fresca. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!”
“Cody, our waiter was amazing. I had 2 dozen raw oysters, conch fritters, blue crab stack. Maine live lobster steamed and a margarita. My wife had the blacke chicken breast over salad.”
“Sarasota and Manatee have a serious lack of small venues for local and traveling bands, artists, etc. I am so thrilled to have Oscura exists. They constantly have great shows and events, including those for local residents to perform with open mics and poetry reading. Also, the drink menu is carefully and thoughtfully curated. The coffee is fantastic. The cocktails are fun and delicious. The non-alcoholic options are more extensive than anywhere I’ve been in our area. I absolutely love checking out shows here. In my hometown up north, there was a local or traveling bands playing original music somewhere nearly every night of the week and I’m from a town of 100k. Oscura brings me back to those days and the vibes are immaculate.”
“My family and I visited Bayshore Nutrition for the first time yesterday and were very pleased with the overall service and and experience as a whole. We were greeted upon walking in, she took our orders and made them, quite fast and accurately I might add, and then explained the benefits to each of our drinks, told us how many calories were in the smoothies, which I found really helpful as I am a person that tracks the calories I have each day so I really appreciated that. The smoothies were all REALLY GOOD, HEALTHY & BENEFICIAL. We agreed that we'd definitely be visiting again and soon!”
“My first visit. Off the chain great food! We had the Greek salad, garlic knots, cheese bread, and 2 different pizzas. The best I've ever had NY style pizza. Passed the flop test on the pizza crust with flying colors, very thin and super crispy.The cheese bread was super fresh and epically crispy, cheesy, buttery delicious. I suggest eating in the restaurant if you want to experience the "straight out of the oven" ultimate crispy crusts. They have great taste in the music that was playing as well. A complete 5 star experience across the board for this little restaurant. This place is now definitely my "Only" place in Bradenton to eat pizza, Greek salad, garlic knots, and cheese bread. I'm betting that everything else on their menu is of the same quality. These guys are the real deal.”
“Found through Google. It is everything I expected and more... The food (no condiments needed), the music and the vibe was amazing. My complements to the chef... Thank you for what you do... My Dad and I really enjoyed our lunch experience. Will definitely be back.Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp straight to the front door.”
“Wow!!! Delicious food, great service, SUPER nice people. We all had something different so we could sample more of the menu. Carne guisada (beef stew), Mojo pork, Chuleta Frita (fried pork chop) all were sooo good. We are already planning our next visit to sample appetizers, sandwiches and desserts. People if you have been looking for some very tasty Cuban/Puerto Rican food (which is seriously lacking out east IMO) GO!!!!!!”
“sad to admit it took me so long to find a gem that is so close to my house. my wife and I were taking an evening stroll a week or so back and stumbled into Seabreeze. the shop was closed but one of the owners was there and opened just for us. instant loyalty customers. acai bowls are on point as are the refreshers. waffles are still on the 'to try' list but I expect them to be delicious too. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“I reviewed the "food" meaning the coffee. They don't really have food here. They have a couple of bagels and a pastry or two, but nothing that looked like something I really wanted, today at least.I did what I often do and said, "What's your favorite drink?" And then told them to make it for me. I'm not even sure what it was, but it was good. The coffee was smooth and easy on my tummy. Tasted sweet, but not sugary.The cups are 20 oz cups and most of the prices are between $4-$5. Maybe a little expensive. They do have a loyalty program that apparently works through Cash app (?). You put in your cell number and it tells you to use Cash app to check your points. One point per beverage.There's seating inside and outside. They also have a community board for people to put up business cards. Parking is right there with the parking garage. It's a nice place to meet with friends or to go by yourself, like to study or read. I'm sure I'll be back.Parking: It's in the same building as a parking garage. The main floor is for the hotel, but the upper floors are free parking for the community, including patrons of orange blossom Cafe.”
“Prices are pretty high but it always tastes so good and they only hire good employees. Also got to witness the national anthem at noon and I just about signed up for the Marines I was bleeding red white and blue send me to ”
“I was craving pho and my boyfriend was craving pizza and this was the perfect restaurant for both of us. Food turned out amazing, the pho was very authentic and had a lot of flavor to it. Super friendly staff and clean restaurant.Will definitely be coming back!”
“We were in town for a professional youth soccer tournament. The week was chaotic but Carrabba’s helped us with all of our catering needs. Carletta and Gabby were amazing and easy to work with. Both were super helpful and accommodating. All the boys loved the food and the fresh baked cookies. Overall a fantastic experience and super reliable!”
“This place was fantastic! We are from out of town and we were looking for good coffee and pastries and their medium and dark roast coffee were both amazing! As were their donuts! Freshly baked. Waitress and staff were very friendly and was clear they loved their jobs! Highly recommend!”

“What a gem of a place! Delicious creative Sicilian menu, not your standard spaghetti-and-meatballs fare. We had a cheesy roasted onion, timbale, beef ribs, nice bottle of wine recommended by our server, and chocolate pate and semi-fredo cannoli. All fantastic! Chef has seen Big Night "thousands of times" and his use of ingredients and care mimics that chef. Lovely evening we will long remember! Grazie!”
“Our absolute favorite Indian Restaurant in Sarasota Bradenton. It's delicious, the staff is friendly, and they are willing to make oil-free vegan options. So much flavor. We tried this place the week they opened a couple of years ago and were apprehensive when we saw the exterior and the location. We walked in and the smell was amazing and it was classy looking inside. They staff was so friendly. The food was delicious. We have been going back ever since.”
“My Mom just got out of the hospital and my Dad is her caretaker which typically means they are eating frozen dinners and take out. They also live outside the delivery area for all of the food delivery apps. I live in Atlanta so I was looking for a solution that could feed them healthy food that was palatable for people over 60 and that would not break the bank. I called fitlife and explained my situation and they told me how their service worked. They also did so with empathy and were willing to do whatever it took to help my parents. You have no idea what that means to the consumer to feel like someone cares and wants to help. I often feel helpless up here in Atlanta with my aging parents down in Florida. I was able to view the inventory that they had in the store, pick out their meals for the next few days and when my parents arrived about 45min later they ran out the door with their food. My parents did not even have to get out of the car. After they picked it up I received a phone call from Hailey and Victoria letting me know that they got their food and told me how sweet my mom was. That is epitome of customer service and I will definitely share my experience. Its sad that service like this rare now-a-days. Thank you for taking care of my parents when I could not.”
“Brad Fricke is THE BEST PERSON to make you feel welcome. THE BEST Bartender. Quick, Witty, Informative & EVERYONE LOVES HIM. They are lucky to have the Chicago Kid. PS. I recommend the BLT nachos anytime.”
“Kevin runs a unique restaurant in that it has SO many options and all of them are good. Both Kevin and his wife May work very hard to get to know you, and they will by name after just a few trips! Don’t miss out on an opportunity to eat great food and support an honest business.”
“We highly recommend this restaurant for so many reasons! To begin with we just recently got back from Montego Bay, Jamaica, and couldn’t believe how authentic and tasty the food at this place is!! Today we started with some ice-cold Red Stripe beers followed by the curry goat entrées with amazing sides… my wife had the macaroni and cheese, and the sweet plantains while I had the cabbage and the rice and beans. Everything was beyond delicious and I couldn’t get it in my mouth fast enough. Come here for the food and it will not disappoint.”
“Landed an early dinner yesterday at Post! Open for lunch and dinner beautiful decor, excellent service. The manager, Marlee stopped by several times to make sure everything was just right, nice touch for the evening . Our server Zachary was knowledgeable and provided us a wonderful experience. They are busy but they do take reservations! It was a little chilly on our visit for outdoor seating, but it's a beautiful outdoor option. Looking forward to checking out their happy hour as well beautiful bar area.”
“I like this bar! Friendly atmosphere, have something going every day of the week, and live music on weekends. I love their drinks of Christmas such a fun way to get in the spirit. I don’t smoke cigars, but they have a decent selection. Meagan is great and always so fun!Parking: There is a parking garage available down the street, but limited parking options close by”
“We had the hibachi grill and it was excellent. The chef was great too! As the grill was heating up he entertained us by flipping and twirling spatulas, an egg, and even tossed a piece of food so a diner could catch it in her mouth. He cooked everything to perfection on the grill in front of us. It was a fun evening and we are already talking about returning.”
“Loved the environment it’s really a vibe and if you love Hibachi this is the place you wanna go.Kid-friendliness: If your kids love to eat this is where you’d want to go don’t miss their excellent lunch specials.”
“We go every Monday morning for BreakfastDietary restrictions: Great for people looking for meatless optionsWheelchair accessibility: Lots of handicap spaces in parking lot”
“Went there for New Year's Eve. Everything was exceptional. From the time we arrived around 9, until we closed the place down after midnight. The greeting was friendly. Got a great table. Service by Brodie (sp) was exceptional. She was there when we needed something as if she had a 6th sense. The food was as good as I’ve had in a while. The mussels had the best broth I can remember. The grouper plicata was an unusual and tasty dish. The espresso martini was excellent. The band. Donnie Bostic, was professional, fun and entertaining. We love to dance and they put out a great dance beat. Overall, I cannot recommend this restaurant more highly.”
“I don't leave reviews; the food here is devine, the atmosphere is comfortable and B is a delightful, professional server...from Wisconsin!You will not be disappointed.”
“Had some appetizers and some drinks at the outdoor patio. The bartender was very professional and great service. Would definitely check this place out if your in the area!”
“We recently did our first large order from Piesano’s (we’ve only done orders for our four person family until now). It was an awesome experience and the food was fantastic as always. We did the online pizza party deal for our son’s first birthday - it was an amazing deal and even though we thought we’d have a lot of leftover food, it was all gone by the end of the night! The food was ready at the pick-up time we chose, pizzas hot, and the salad and roll sides were such great accompaniments. Those rolls and their dipping sauce are to die for! We definitely plan to use Piesano’s again both for just ourselves and any other get-togethers we have.”

“The experience at Lava Nutrition was truly exceptional, encompassing every aspect of the store. Amber's amiable demeanor and her guidance in explaining the various beverages and smoothies greatly aided me in making an informed choice. The protein shakes she offers are akin to a heavenly delight for the taste buds. I wholeheartedly recommend giving Lava Nutrition a try!”
“Another neighborhood family-owned hit. Don't hesitate to visit this awesome place. I am a customer and have no problems refunding your money if I send you there and you're not happy. That's how much we enjoyed the entire experience. KUDOS to the owners and their team.”

“Kava Social Club is a great place to hangout! Being open 24Hrs providing a safe space to all kinds of people! The owners are so kind and know how to treat there customers and everyone is treated like a friend. The drinks are amazing! The decor is amazing! The ambiance is so relaxed. The events they hold are so fun! They got an amazing place.”
“Indulge in a delightful breakfast experience at IHOP. From fluffy pancakes to savory omelettes, their diverse menu offers something for everyone. With friendly service and a welcoming ambiance, it's the perfect spot for a satisfying meal any time of day. My favorite breakfast ever!”
“We were visiting Florida and we don't have Waffle House in California.My son really wanted to go here and try it out. He loved it! He thought it saying " waffle house" on the waffles was so cute. The food was yummy and very affordable.”
“Nice experience delivering to this place. The security person signs your bol s allows you in side, you park and the yard truck driver gives you door. Be careful there's many rail tracks. Some door are too narrow.When you are empty just go to the gate. Your bills are already signed at security entrance.”
“This is a normal typical waffle house food is good and the service , however the server shay is above and beyond. She is so nice to talk too and shes very smart aware and understanding human altogether. We need more shays in the world ask for her !”
“Mid 80's and the family is going to Action Park. There's a spot in ever journey that you've traveled before that you know is approaching at some point soon, the anticipation builds - but what is this place? It's many different things to many different people and the symbolism is also different. These trips, I anxiously awaited seeing the WAWA sign in Jersey. I thought it was the Canadian Goose looking logos name, but it wasn't. But inside there were treats of pies and ice cream and no gasoline, so I was surprised to see the pizza and the pumps wayyy down here. Because you know what they say in Florida, other than "go on vacation and leave on probation" is "the further north you go, the more southern it gets" and the opposite is also true here.My buddy wanted to try their pizza, I was lukewarm at best to his proposal but we did it anyway. I have a neighbor that speaks about WAWA, as in everything about it, (the food especially) with such reverence, I do believe it's his favorite restaurant and I'm not sure if I should tell him that it's a convenience store and gas station. He's a peculiar fellow so all of what he says makes complete sense to me because I guess we're all a little crazy around here and be beyond here, the whole worlds gone a bit crazy I'd say He loves his $2.79 a pack of "Miami grown and local" 305 cigarettes and at over two packs a day, mind you that's not included his 305 purple or gold cigar habit and all of the smoke that he's sucked up has turned him a shade of ashen grey, there's a big missing teeth issue too.16" veggie, marinara, mozzarella cheese fill, red onions, green peppers and mushrooms. The crust was that bouncy south of the Mason Dixon Line weird no crumbs kind, nobody gets it right because nobody needs to because nobody knows better and the few that do just go to the beat of this drum and I guess I do it.”
“Service was amazing , food was delicious,The Manager Dan Beller was very helpful and Informative about the menu and he gives a very friendly and welcomeing atmosphere .”
“This was the only one in four Wawa locations that was not out of the seasonal coffee option and did not have a single out operation sign. I guess this is the spot to go if you want a place that keeps up with demand.”
“Based on the location, it comes with its own share of customers... the McDonald's itself follows instructions, makes fresh food quickly, and keeps the inside clean.”
“The attendant at the drive through was amazing. She really went above and beyond to please us. She was very nice. My biscuit was not in the bag. I went back to get it. All there were very nice.”
“My food order came to the table wrong, but the blonde employee with a dermal piercing just below her temple (I wish I remembered her name and not just that she is the only woman that I've ever seen that could pull off that piercing so beautifully). She was so incredibly nice and helpful, which unfortunately is extremely uncommon for the McDonald's chain. However, this particular McDonald's has actually found a great employee and I really hope that the management knows and appreciates her. She is an employee that will keep customers happy and coming back and that is an extremely hard task for McDonald's. I will update this review when I find out this wonderful employee's name.Parking: The drive thru is set up in a way that the parking lot is very difficult for people to enter and exit the spaces. Also, because of the direction of the drive thru, I have seen many, many car accidents occur on one of the busiest streets in West Bradenton. It seems critical for this issue to be fixed. It can very literally can save lives.Kid-friendliness: Not very kid-friendly at all. This location closes down and locks up the PlayPlace at 7pm. So many working parents wouldn't be able to arrive to the restaurant until at least 7pm and now these hard working people are hungry and having to comfort their crying, upset children because they aren't able to play on the McDonald's playground. This is more than ridiculous, it's insane. For the children, their parents and other people in the restaurant who have to witness these kids who are so understandably upset. McDonald's is and has always been advertised as a restaurant to bring children for a wonderful experience and it is the complete opposite at this location.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, it is accessible, as long as the handicap accessible parking spaces aren't blocked by cars waiting in the drive thru.”
“It was great except for I asked the guy and drive-thru for a variety of sauces for our like 40 nugget meal and he's like yeah and all he did was give me more of the same that we asked for while at the drive through speaker.”
“This was for many years my favorite spot and after years of not going it was nice to see that it is excellent. Food was hot. Good execution. The new dipping sauce for nuggets was great. Store clean and staff friendly. But still old sofa machine.”
“A busy Saturday morning, at such a fantastic establishment, you can expect a wait, but it is well worth it. Hands down the best breakfast we've ever had, outside of my own kitchen! The brioche French toast was light and fluffy, the option to get real maple syrup is a perfect pairing. The apple wood smoked bacon is absolutely fantastic. Veggie omelette, was so delicious and full of veggies! The home fried potatoes are seasoned and cooked perfectly. My absolute favorite was the marble rye toast, the most delicious bread I've ever had. And our server Ken was great!”

Thai Palace
“My fiancé and I had dinner here earlier this evening and it was sooo good! We had the basil fried rice with scallops for the entree and vegetable egg rolls for the appetizer. We will definitely be back! Delicious food and great atmosphere!”
“We have been twice. We love this place! Great food, great service and the atmosphere is the best. If you have a larger party, you can get your own private room!Although it's a very casual restaurant, I could see them making this a very upscale place very easily. I hope they leave it exactly the way it is.I had the salmon which was a "special" that night. I hope they put that on their menu!”
Takeout Restaurants
“Wow ! Very unassuming location !! Very beautiful renovation . The food speaks for itself Extreme high-quality for all you could eat ,I typically would be the last person that would go to anything of that nature as I would rather have quality than quantity !It definitely exceeded my expectations !there was a tremendous amount of food as the five of us dined ,as restaurant owners of Zagat rated restaurants through out the Us ,it takes a tremendous amount of talent to inspire us to write a review! Not to mention if the bill was 2 times as much we would have enjoyed it as much great service as well!!!!! Hopefully you have the sever Icha... she was fantastic!!!!! ENJOY !!! It's fantastic!”
“Best coffee shop in LWR. Absolute hidden gem, I come here probably everyday. Great coffee, gluten and dairy free options (amazing for celiac) and incredible place to work or hang.The owner, Gabby is great.”
“This is by far my favorite restaurant. The food is always exceptional and the service is top notch. Lenny is an amazing server and makes our experience great every time.”
“Best Thai food we had during our trip in Florida! All made with LOVE! I felt very good eating this food and I was there a couple of times! If you want to eat Thai food you have to visit Charm Thai! Wish her all the Best! Lovely wishes from Germany!”
“They make some of the best pizza I have ever eaten. The garlic knots and salad are also amazing! They have cool entertainment at night. I'll most definitely be back soon!”
“The soft serve ice cream is thick, rich and creamy. The serving sizes are are generous and the prices are reasonable. When we want a cold confection it’s the only place we go. I highly recommend a visit to Jeremiah’s, you won’t be disappointed.Parking: Ample parking if you want to walk up and place an order or if you use the drive thru and want to sit in your vehicle and enjoy your treat.”
“The minute I walked in the door I was greeted with friendly smiles, and hello. The staff is very friendly and helpful when picking my food/beverage choices. I had the chicken salad sandwich on a multigrain croissant with the salad. It was so so so delicious! I also had an iced coffee. This was amazing. I Carrot cake… Can’t wait to have it tonight on the patio”
“Tried it out yesterday and best donuts we’ve had in a long time! Super fresh and huge! Love that the filling in the jelly and Boston crème was plentiful and a great ratio for the size of the donut. So glad we skipped Dunkin and tried this place out. We also had breakfast sandwiches which were delicious and made fresh. Everything was reasonably priced and affordable! Will definitely return again, they’re already gone and I’m craving more.”
“Moved here 1.5 years ago from LI, NY. We had some of the best pizzas so we are very picky. As a family we have found a few places that were ok for most of us. We have an autistic 19 yr old that is super picky about everything and was not willing to compromise. One day we went for a drive, stopped at a few places in search for a pizza he would actually eat. Thank you D. Americo’s, you’ve made a picky eater very happy. You are now our go to place. On another note, delivery was quick and driver was professional.”
“I had my Husband’s birthday brunch catered by Chicken Salad Chick! His birthday is Christmas Eve, so I wanted something quick and easy, but delicious! Ashley helped me accomplish just that! The sandwiches were a HIT! And I got to enjoy celebrating my husband, while not slaving away in the kitchen right before Christmas!! Can’t wait to come in and try new flavors! Thank you Chicken Salad Chick!!”
“Great hotdogs I'm definitely got too try the New York style Coney wish they had a bigger selection on pop's I'm sure if you had your own drink they would not care.”
“Highly recommended! The restaurant was anime-themed, cozy and relaxing. We ordered the Japanese fried chicken, soft crab buns, and ramen (tonkatsu and duck). The fried chicken appetizer was tender and buns were delicious. The ramen broth was flavorful and balanced with a good serving size. Staff were friendly and provided excellent customer service. Would definitely go here again!”
“Came in to get some snacks and drinks for myself and the children. Great staff and warm reception! (It’s a mom and pop shop) - great menu options, and the food came out very fast. Loved the feeling of the cafe, and the owners are very kind and courteous. Highly recommend!*Update - after picking up wifey from haircut, we stopped by for dinner and grabbed “The Basic” sandwich with turkey, and a cheese flatbread for the kids. Great decision! Sandwich was a hit (huge portion) and the pizza was tasty according to three children ??”
“Not only was the food authentic and delicious but the staff was extremely attentive. We had Sylvia has our server, she was very friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. They also had a nice kids selection which I appreciate when dining with my young children . We very much enjoyed our meal and will be returning soon.”
“Another neighborhood family-owned hit. Don't hesitate to visit this awesome place. I am a customer and have no problems refunding your money if I send you there and you're not happy. That's how much we enjoyed the entire experience. KUDOS to the owners and their team.”

Chef has seen Big Night "thousands of times" and his use of ingredients and care mimics that chef. Lovely evening we will long remember! Grazie!”
“I love this place it's a of my favorite places to go on the weekends. A little costly so bring your money back. Overall the drinks are incredible.Kid-friendliness: The kid's love it as well.”
“Mercedes, our hostess in Bradenton, went out of her way to help with the error I made in our order, and she did it with a smile. All this after she worked the early shift today. She shines!”

“I love this place I work right beside them and i go there to eat on my break and I’ve never had a problem very respectful I’ve never had to make a complaint about my food it was always good a 5 star right here”
“Venezuelan food in its maximum incomparable flavor I highly recommend it but the prices should be considered, I think they are very high, check that please, the place with a good vibe”
“We love ordering from Hungry Howies and order from there about once a week. The staff is always friendly and prompt and food is excellent. Just one slight problem tonight, we ordered a Italian sub and chef salad with Italian dressing, well today we did not get the dressing with our salad. Good thing we have dressing at home, so it’s not really a big deal. I just really enjoy their Italian dressing. We always enjoy their food and will continue to!!!”
“Excellent service during Friday night dinner. Our waitress, Danielle, was friendly and provided fast service. Their sweet tea is THE BEST! We got loaded tots as an appetizer and they were so good! My pulled pork and baby back ribs were awesome, and both my girls enjoyed their kid's meals. Good place for the whole family and inexpensive.”
“I will and do literally drive from Ft Myers just to eat here. Something about the burgers and the fry seasoned shoestring fries..delicious!! P.S they use long sliced pickles which makes the burgers even better!!”
“Moving to this side of town so stopped at Basil's for a late lunch. Service was friendly, Gyros were good, and the menu offers many different items that we'll be trying on our return visits. ?”
“All the staffers are aiming to please. Our food comes to the table hot and inviting. Thrilled they have a gluten free bun that works for me. The staff even brings your order out to your car.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free bun is soft and tastes great. I'm Celiac and this is my go to restaurant.”
“I was jonesing for a Peanut Buster Parfait, so I pulled into this Dairy Queen with eager anticipation. When I walked in the door, I was hit by a wave of nostalgia. I used to go to Dairy Queen all the time when I was a youngun, and just reading the menu took me back... Mr Misty was my go-to treat as a kid. Who could resist a slushy with lots of flavor syrup as they make them? Not this kid! Then, when I grew older and Blizzards were created, I became addicted to them in college and visited The Queen often for an M&M Blizzard with chocolate ice cream ?. Always, though, Peanut Buster Parfait (PBP) made with butterscotch sauce was an option that popped up now and then to end up in my hand instead of Mr. Misty or PBP, but because I didn't like hot fudge as a kid, I always replaced it with butterscotch.Now, here I was staring at a menu from my childhood mixed with the future (ok, technically the present, but my childhood me would have thought it was the future) and I realized I now had a dilemma on my hands regarding what I wanted to order. Peanut Buster Parfait? Blizzard (so many delicious flavor options!)? Mr Misty? My brain was overloaded with joy.WAIT! I came here for a PBP made with butterscotch, loaded with salty peanuts in ice cream, my FAVORITE treat, by golly, that's what I was gonna get.I ordered it and was told they no longer carry butterscotch SAUCE (writing this now, I vaguely remember when they discontinued their butterscotch sauce. Ugh), but instead, their butterscotch is only the hard dip butterscotch, from when you dip your cone. So, I did as the employees suggested and got caramel. Then I asked for a dip of butterscotch on top at the end. It was pure heaven because they gave me an extra thick dip that dropped down and formed a thick ring of solid butterscotch around the top of the ice cream, on top of the last layer of caramel and peanuts that I had to chop through to get to the layers below. Eating that PBP was an experience, and well worth the millions of calories I took in doing so. Next time, though, I'm gonna have to get a Blizzard, because Dairy Queen is where I perfected the M&M with peanut butter sauce Blizzard, so I could pass it on to Sweet Berries. They are the original Blizzard/Concrete”
“every smoothie they make tastes awesome, very healthy and invigorating! you can't go wrong no matter what flavor you pick! I recommend the one down manatee avenue, the staff is great and the environment is inviting.”
“It is the best food. Grew up going here and still drive 13 hours to go at least 2 times in a weekend best flame broiled chicken best pitas. Best gyros 32 years of eating here the families that run this place are like family to me. Planning a trip soon.”
“Talked to 3 different employees here and they were all very nice and friendly. Chicken tenders came out so fresh and hot I had to blow on them or wait until the cooled down to eat them. Cant complain about this experience ??”
“From entering to exiting, the staff was very friendly. Well seasoned and flavorful Mediterranean and seafood dishes. Busch Gardens tries to hide this place with their half-mile wall, but we made the trek anyway! In a sea of burgers and nuggets at the theme park, we wanted something better and this place hit the spot. Happy campers!”
“The original double steak burger is excellent, especially with extra pickles & their signature mustard relish. The service is always friendly and the dining room is clean.”
“Chick-fil-A is a fast-food favorite known for its delicious chicken sandwiches and exceptional customer service. With a menu featuring classic favorites like the Original Chicken Sandwich and Waffle Fries, as well as healthier options like grilled chicken salads, Chick-fil-A offers something for everyone. The welcoming atmosphere and commitment to quality make it a go-to spot for a satisfying meal any day of the week.”
“I wasn't expecting much but I was pleasantly surprised. best waitress we've had dining out in a very long while. The food was kept up. It0was cheaper than other dining out/fast food type places”
“Lunch there was very good. There is an extensive seafood menu with other options as well. I had the cobia tacos and my friend had the cobia sandwich. She has eaten there many times and said the food is always good especially the fish and chips and everyone loves the chowder. Oysters on the half shell looked delicious. I will go back soon.”
“Our absolute favorite Indian Restaurant in Sarasota Bradenton. It's delicious, the staff is friendly, and they are willing to make oil-free vegan options. So much flavor. We tried this place the week they opened a couple of years ago and were apprehensive when we saw the exterior and the location. We walked in and the smell was amazing and it was classy looking inside. They staff was so friendly. The food was delicious. We have been going back ever since.”
“I tried Wheat + Water for the first time, and the food is superb! I added grilled chicken to a pasta dish, and it melted in my mouth. You haven't gone to heaven until you've had the tiramisu for dessert. Next up is the pizza!”

Soon as I walked in was greeted with a smile and good mornings. Told me to sit where I wanted to. It was very clean and nice. I ordered a simple breakfast and it took no time for it to come out. The food was served hot and fresh. I have no complaints at all. Everything was delicious and even the bathroom is fresh and clean. I definitely would recommend this place to anyone to come and enjoy I’ll definitely be coming back to enjoy dinner.”
“very good establishment! My white, caucasian family of 1 and my dog, 约翰塞纳, really enjoyed the scrumptious food, but the chicken was not boiled to my liking and the salt was too spicy. My dog, 约翰塞纳, loved fortune cookie and his fortune read "luck will find you one day". HAHAHA! ”
“These guys just opened up here not too far from my house and I decided to give them a try, and just WOW! These pastries are fantastic! Everything’s made fresh, and tastes amazing. They also offer a selection of beverages including Milk teas, lattes, boba etc. The Winter Melon tea is especially refreshing and delicious. They have a cozy little storefront and all the staff are very friendly, I’ll definitely be a frequent flyer here for sure!”
“Best pies ever. We tried both the key lime and the chocolate cream. They were great. We also had both the cuban and the lobster roll. Terrific. Can'r wait to go back!”

Try the coconut dessert, it is mouthwatering! We were greeted and served by Mei (I hope I spelled it correctly) She made us feel like home. Looking forward to our next dinner there soon!

I wanted to try pupusas and sopes that I have never tried before . I got a steak sope and it was just delicious , so were the pupusas . The food is excellent! The service is great ! The prices are also great for the quality of the food ! Definitely worth every penny ! Can't wait to go back soon !”

“Febuary 17, 2023 We found Robin's Downtown Cafe on our stay in Bradenton this week and it was so good we ate breakfast there four times. The staff is excellent, very friendly and a pleasure to be around. By the second time we were there they even knew we were having a regular and decaf coffee for me and my wife. The food was fantastic, they post awesome daily specials along with a great menu. If you are in Bradenton it is a place you have to find and try. We give it a 5 out of 5. Charlie and Valerie from Ocala, FL.”
“We ordered take out on our way back home from the beach and we were not disappointed ! We had the new york style pepperoni pizza and it was amazing . Best pizza I've had in a long time. We would without a doubt order again if we are ever back in the area.”
“If I could leave 100 stars I would!! My boyfriend and I and my parents absolutely love this place!! We have been multiple times and every time the food is always hot and fresh. Workers are so kind and food is amazing. Reasonable prices and lots of food for your buck. I will always recommend this place when recommending a good Thai restaurant. Glad we found them!”

“I like the sandwiches and hot meals they have but the aged steaks are far better quality than anything you will find at Publix.I’m not sure where the beef comes from but it’s next level. The sausages they offer are really good. (Italian brats hotdogs.) all very good. Great place. Scott I think is the owner and is a really kind gentleman.”
“Had dinner tonight with new friends from Freedom Village. It was a fantastic meal, great service and a relaxed atmosphere. Each of us had something different and agreed each was so tasty. Try it!”
“Landed an early dinner yesterday at Post! Open for lunch and dinner beautiful decor, excellent service. The manager, Marlee stopped by several times to make sure everything was just right, nice touch for the evening . Our server Zachary was knowledgeable and provided us a wonderful experience. They are busy but they do take reservations! It was a little chilly on our visit for outdoor seating, but it's a beautiful outdoor option. Looking forward to checking out their happy hour as well beautiful bar area.”
“What an amazing winery and venue ! :-)We just had my niece's wedding there yesterday. The venue was beautiful and amazing and the staff and owners were over accommodating!”

Little Jo-To
“Great menu, decently priced, lots of options, intimate atmosphere, food was cooked properly and tasted great. Would be a good unassuming/chill date night where time for conversation is desired and given. If you're wanting something quicker, they seemed to have an efficient Togo operation in place and my wife and I saw many carry out customers come and go during our hour and half visit.Update*tried to order takeout this evening and was denied service because they were "too busy". So I guess what appeared to be an efficient Togo operation was not in fact. Still a good date night spot but takeout service is hit or miss at best.”
“We had the hibachi grill and it was excellent. The chef was great too! As the grill was heating up he entertained us by flipping and twirling spatulas, an egg, and even tossed a piece of food so a diner could catch it in her mouth. He cooked everything to perfection on the grill in front of us. It was a fun evening and we are already talking about returning.”
“Husband and I had dinner here for the first time. Got the island hopper burger (thousand island dressing on it) and he got the slawstone sandwich. (Pulled pork, Gouda, and slaw) Both our meals were very good. The fried cheese curds were awesome and we couldn’t stop eating them. Zach the server was just excellent.”
“Went there for New Year's Eve. Everything was exceptional. From the time we arrived around 9, until we closed the place down after midnight. The greeting was friendly. Got a great table. Service by Brodie (sp) was exceptional. She was there when we needed something as if she had a 6th sense. The food was as good as I’ve had in a while. The mussels had the best broth I can remember. The grouper plicata was an unusual and tasty dish. The espresso martini was excellent. The band. Donnie Bostic, was professional, fun and entertaining. We love to dance and they put out a great dance beat. Overall, I cannot recommend this restaurant more highly.”
“I don't leave reviews; the food here is devine, the atmosphere is comfortable and B is a delightful, professional server...from Wisconsin!You will not be disappointed.”
“Absolutely phenomenal service and food. You get a very nice portion for a good price the food is fresh. It is season to perfection, and it is made with love. They are so compassionate about their business and their customers.”

“Had some appetizers and some drinks at the outdoor patio. The bartender was very professional and great service. Would definitely check this place out if your in the area!”
“Absolutely fantastic! Traveling out of state from Michigan and this is the best and tastiest restaurant we have visited so far. Great atmosphere, great menu choices and amazing steaks and drinks!”
“Geckos is always our place to go for a quick, casual meal. The service is terrific and the menu is extensive. The food quality is very very good. I love their burgers and their tuna poke bowl. They have great salads and pasta and tacos and quesadillas. Their fish sandwiches are good too. My husband loves their tuna crunch wrap. It's a big portion and we sometimes share it.The restaurant is always busy but we rarely have to wait for a table more than 10 minutes. Geckos is a sports bar and they have TVs everywhere.Give it a try!”
“We recently did our first large order from Piesano’s (we’ve only done orders for our four person family until now). It was an awesome experience and the food was fantastic as always. We did the online pizza party deal for our son’s first birthday - it was an amazing deal and even though we thought we’d have a lot of leftover food, it was all gone by the end of the night! The food was ready at the pick-up time we chose, pizzas hot, and the salad and roll sides were such great accompaniments. Those rolls and their dipping sauce are to die for! We definitely plan to use Piesano’s again both for just ourselves and any other get-togethers we have.”
“We love this place!…the food and ambience are fantastic!, plus the service is first rate!…In fact we had the same server we had last May when we were here on vacation and she remembered us!, now that we will be living down here, definitely will be eating there a lot more!…If you want great home cooked food, with Vegan, Vegetarian and Gluten Free options, this is the place to go!!!”
“First-time visit and food, service and atmosphere were all fantastic! Could use more parking, but that's the worst thing I can say about this place. Highly recommend visiting!Visit March 22, 2024 - this place is a MUST visit! Can't say enough good about this place!”
“Cottonmouth and Curtis Salgado and his band offered up a fantastic evening of music, food and time with friends on an exquisite evening in the back yard. The place was rockin!If you've never discovered Cottonmouth's Southern Soul Kitchen in Bradenton, you are missing out on a very special experience. We highly recommend it.”

In Cahoots
“In Cahoots has been my go to bar for a few months now. The staff never disappoints and has learned my drink of choice by now. If it’s girls night, date night, or just hanging out with friends, you’ll find me at In Cahoots, shooting pool with a drink in my hand.”
“Should Treat Elderly Better! Worst restaurant experience for a birthday celebration ever! I arrived with my mother to celebrate her birthday with a early dinner celebration at around 4pm. We brought my 91 year old grandmother that can barely walk without the use of walker much less stand for long periods of time. We came early so we could avoid the liability of crowds for my grandmother. When we arrived there was not that many people waiting, and we were told there would be a 10 min wait. We struggled to find any seating for my grandmother while we waited because they were all taken, so we walked back up to the check- in desk and she was able to hold herself up on the ledge of desk. None of the staff seemed concerned that she was not steady. We waited patiently and a text message was sent for us to be seated . We were checking in with this text message at the desk and at this same time the restaurant was suddenly flooded with more people then just the 2 other parties waiting. It was a chaos of people that were not being properly controlled by the several staff members. My grandmother almost fell and I had to lead her to an empty table to sit quickly. Meanwhile your check in staff could not seat us, even with us showing we had been texted to be seated. I felt irritated that this same check in women had seen my grandmother struggle from moment we arrived and was repeatedly looking at her computer and calling several other parties to be seated and ignored our whole situation. I asked for a manager assistance because she could not quickly figure out anything and was told by a man that came up and was helping her look in computer that he was the manager. I then handed him my phone with text message to prove we should not only be seated but before the several other people walking by grandmother while she struggles to stand. He was not able to help and by this time I was frustrated, so we got no where. The only way out of this situation was by another waiter that was so kind to see that my grandmother was in need and got her seated. He had done this while I was unaware and at desk asking for help. None of the staff or manager came over to apologize. I feel bad for any elderly people that have to experience this type of treatment. They need to hire a person at the front desk that has more people skills and knows how to properly take care of crowds to avoid them getting out of control and chaotic. And the entire staff needs to be trained in how to handle our elderly with care and kindness instead of the bitterness we recieved.”
“Not what it used to be when first opened. 4 piece tenets tough, lukewarm (original was made to order and very hot and juicy). Food was ready before I could get my drink. Fries were lukewarm and toast cold. I will not go ”
“EXCELLENT warm buttery Connecticut Lobster Roll toasted to perfection on a delicious fresh Texas toast roll. ??????I will definitely be coming back! I can't wait to try to Lobster Mac n Cheese!?”

Sam Oh Jung
“Great food! Gyoza was nice and crispy; sushi and tempura were great. My uncle had a shellfish/shrimp allergy. We were warned that most things were contaminated. The chef assured us things would be cleaned, and he ordered a stake bento box. He thoroughly enjoyed his meal and had no issues. We well be back!”
“We recently got takeout, after a long hiatus, nothing specific, just were not impressed previously. The food this time (looks like a new owner from years ago?) was excellent, sauces amazing, and portions great. Will definitely return, needed a place like this around these parts.”
“I would like to thank the entire staff at APOLLONIA. I dined outside this afternoon for lunch. I had a wonderful experience, great atmosphere, delicious food and wonderful service. I did however watch other customers treat the servers with disrespect and outlandish demands. Although customers where not kind the servers handled every single customer with grace, kindness, and respect. Also they provided outstanding customer service with a smile. I will be a lifetime customer and will continue to suggest APOLLONIA at Cooper creek to everyone I know. Thank you again to each of you.”

“We had a Birthday celebration there late this afternoon. Everything went very well. We had a party of 21. Everyone food was served at the same time. We had 2 waiters.which was fantastic! Very attentive. The cheddar biscuits always served hot. We was very much so satisfied.”
“The presentation of the food was pretty amazing. Service was great. Didn't have to wait on refills and the server was very tentative. The ONLY reason I gave this place a 4 was because 80% of the sushi rolls has either crab or cucumber. I don't eat either. It was hard for me to find a roll that I could eat because I really like sushi rolls. The sashimi was really good. Everyone that came with me really enjoyed the food. Check it out! It was worth going back a 2nd time.”
“We absolutely love FOOD+BEER SRQ Rosemary District. Dom the manager is absolutely awesome especially leading his staff to success! Kat by far is OUR favorite we specifically go and see her at least 2/3 times a week. Her energy is contagious she is a huge asset to this company 100%. If your looking for great food friendly servers and a fantastic atmosphere support our local friends here at FOOD+BEER! - Sarasota Salvage”
“Great food, great server, I asked Darrion for a cold beer and he placed my beer on ice for few minutes, then bring it to my table, its a simple thing, but makes a big difference when you are served well. 5 star for Darrion.Eddie c.”
“I love this sweet little place, and my nephews do too. The owner and staff is so kind, and the ice cream is rich & incredible. We got a sugar cone with cookies & cream and cake cones with rainbow respectively. It's a great spot to get some AC and old-fashioned, not price-gauging ice cream!! There's a nice drink fridge too. Highly recommend!It's right next door to Orange Blossom Cafe if you're looking to grab coffee & ice cream all at once! One of the best little corners in Bradenton.”
“The Big Top Brewers Collective was a friendly, small brewery with a wonderful craft beer collection. The Mexican Lager was fantastic! They have a wide variety of IPAs, wheat beers and lagers; plus a nice variety of taps available for draft beer including take home options. For the non beer drinkers there was a nice selection of drinks. The tap room itself was spacious with an eclectic mix of seating. There was intimate soft seating, high tops, low tops, picnic tables and bar seating. There was a small outdoor seating area as well. The place is pet friendly too! A unique food concept was the "just baked smart bistro" kitchen vending machine. Interesting, but we didn't try it. There was a rice ball vendor on site as well. The DJ music sounded great and they have lots of fun activities nightly. The bar staff was pleasant, friendly and knowledgeable. We will definitely return to try more beer!”
“Moving to this side of town so stopped at Basil's for a late lunch. Service was friendly, Gyros were good, and the menu offers many different items that we'll be trying on our return visits. ?”
“Valentines dinner was awesome. veal parm was so good. hubby had a seafood dish that was very good. service was excellent. ask for Charlene. Best waitress ever. always get our pizza there. this is a must try place.”
“The food was tasty and service quick. The waitress Dallas was excellent! Personable, knowledgeable, and energetic. She clearly took pride in her job. The entire staff exemplified teamwork and swiftness. We enjoyed dining at this location.”
“Quite a nice surprise, we stopped in for dinner and most everything surpassed our expectations. It's not the most impressive dining room, but that's the only negative I can give. First the drinks came and they were enormous from the mixed drinks to the wine pours, delicious as well! Next we ordered a variety from seafood, pork chops, and Chicken Parm... each one was enough for four meals and they were as good or better than any Italian restaurants I've been to in the area. Seafood was extremely fresh and after eating to capacity, it still went home in a FULL half sheet pan!! Pork chop was equally gigantic and both tender and juicy with great flavor. the chicken parm was two large (as big as the plate) cutlets that were perfectly cooked and served with just the right amount of sauce and cheese. We were never rushed and enjoyed everything. This will definitely be a favorite for when we have a big appetite and the urge for some NJ/NY style Italian feast. The price was more than reasonable, considering the number of meals we will eventually get from the dinner! Give it a try...”
“The food was flavorful, fresh and served quickly. The service was friendly and the prices were very reasonable. You *must* try the sangria and have your cell phone ready :)”
“WoW! This restaurant is simply amazing. We often go to a Korean BBQ back home thats hard to beat but tonight I must say that I had the best meat, sushis and appetizers ever. The waiter and the owner were so nice and welcoming. I will definitively bring my parents next time. You must try this excellent restaurant.”
“Best tacos I've found since donna Betty's... Plus, they make you feel like your family.. Fast, friendly, ALWAYS cooked to PERFECTION! Great place to take your whole family out for dinner or lunch, cheap and delicious! Thank you for all that you do for your customers!”
“We visited Motorworks on a Thursday afternoon and were very impressed with not only the beer flight but also the food. The coffee-porter is excellent.Kudos to Kelly, our server, as she was working solo and doing an excellent job. Service was prompt and Kelly is thoroughly knowledgeable of the brews and the history of the place.The food trucks are permanently there. The brisket and pastrami sandgwiches excellent. The coleslaw was not the usual miniscule portion! Everything coming from the trucks looked great.It might not have been exceptionally busy, but for the price get the Groupon special and treat yourself to some very good food-truck fare.”
“Always good. Excellent food. Great service.We didn't have to wait to be seated tonight. The server was there with bread and took our drink order within a minute.Drinks came quickly and the appetizers about the same time. We were just finishing the appetizers and salad came. The meal pace was perfect. Bravo to our waiter we kept checking in and refilled our drinks.My steak was exactly as I asked and the overall dining experience was excellent.The food tasted great and I had some "Dine Rewards" to lower the bill.Great night out.”
“Our appetizer, entre and dessert were bursting with flavor. The sauces ... Mmm Never fast food. The food has always been delicious, Any day of the week. Please remember this will be a dining experience that lasts hours. So if you have the time go enjoy every bite.”
“My sister's favorite Mexican Restaurant , my 1st visit. Service was quick, friendly and informative. The place was fairly busy , I was happy to notice!! I prefer a more salty chip, but they went very well with the thick cheese chorizo dip that we ordered for an appetizer. The entrees came out in perfect time and were delicious!! Pork soft shell tacos - plenty of pork with just the right amount of toppings . Next time I will order premium margaritas... the house margaritas were kinda boring. Great choice for a Thursday night , definitely will return and recommend!.”
“This place is excellent! 4 of us shared several rolls, all different types, each one was better than the other! I would go back here again and again! It’s been one year since I posted the above, and 5 of us just dined here again and again it was excellent! We shared rolls, sashimi, tempura, we had drinks and each item was fabulous! Our server was great, friendly and prompt. We will be back again, next time I will remember to take some pics!”
“Enjoy eating here... getting busier as the word gets out. Food and service are good. Expected miso soup with order but it isn't part of the hibachi dinner anymore.”
“every smoothie they make tastes awesome, very healthy and invigorating! you can't go wrong no matter what flavor you pick! I recommend the one down manatee avenue, the staff is great and the environment is inviting.”

“Absolutely wonderful customer service. Patrick, Esther and Kelly went above and beyond to take care of some lost and wayward out of towners. We even had a golf cart called for us to go to our destination afterwards, driven by Bridget who took the scenic route!This is the kind of customer service that was much needed after a hectic day. Above and beyond is an understatement.”
“It is the best food. Grew up going here and still drive 13 hours to go at least 2 times in a weekend best flame broiled chicken best pitas. Best gyros 32 years of eating here the families that run this place are like family to me. Planning a trip soon.”

The Bistro
“Had dinner there last night. We started with cocktails and a crab cake stack and it was delicious. For entrees, I had the grouper and it was fresh, perfectly cooked, beautifully presented and absolutely incredible. My friend had the Roast duck and it was the best duck I have ever eaten.(I was the fortunate beneficiary of her limited appetite)I am an outdoorsman and I am considered to be a pretty good cook myself, and I have cooked a lot of duck on my own but never duck this delicious. Another wonderful dinner at EnRich. Thanks Rich (P.S. - I saw the other guys review about masks and I want to thank you for having your employees wear masks.”
“4 stars ⭐️ because I bought food 3x at this restaurant they food were yummy other than that zero start when I called no one never answer am wondering why they mentioned this number (941) 201-4021 at the door also one of my friend gave me this +1 (954) 868-3146 no one never answered either when I called”
“Superb Margarita at the bar while we waited for our table (though the Mojito was a bit too sweet). Great service (especially at the bar). Food was good too... caeser salad and bbq shrimps to start, followed by snapper creole and grouper catch of the day mains. Though they did bring the mains out before we'd finished the starters (a pet hate of mine). Good selection of beers. Great waterside setting (we enjoyed a lovely sunset). Overall a really nice dining experience.”
“The is an amazing sports bar but you don’t have to like sports to have a good time here. From the moment you walk in, they treat you like family. The managers are friendly and accommodating and the servers are top notch. The food comes out quickly and it’s always delicious.”
“Went for lunch. Again. Was delicious, huge, priced more than fairly, and brought out in a timely manner. Been a few times for lunch and have had the same experience every time.”
“We love Millers so much. Megan is such an amazing bartender. Her and Steven always provide us the best service and keep us entertained. The food never misses, the drinks are cold and the atmosphere is great. We love being regulars here.”
“Great customer service, but twice now I've gone there and my small (20oz) cup wasn't filled all the way. I don't ask for much, but a full cup is one thing that I do want.I love their pumpkin vegan smoothies, and the vegan Sunwarrior tart cherry is delicious!”

“The best pizza I ever had from Pizza Hut in a long time. Wished north Lakeland the only pizza hut location would fire all there staff to make a pizza like this. Was told there in us 98 there pizza burned when they used frozen cheese. Got into a confrontation with there front end person Jason who didn't want to give there name. Called corporate and only wanted to give me a promo code. I wanted there staff fired. I was told it was that they weren't cleaning there ovens. I want to report to someone who will do something that is the only pizza hut in our area. I am great full that this place gave the best pizza we ever had!”

“I'm from MA and am excited about having a great Kelly's RB here in Sarasota. It is excellent. Just like the original. You have to try it. The roast beef is the best you will ever have!”
“There were four us, 3 had the southern fried chicken and 1 had the fried shrimp. We all enjoyed the meal and the service was great.I would have given 5 stars but think all the extra plates can be done away with. A plate for every side means more dishes, more wasted water. Other than that love this place.”
“Miranda was an excellent server. We arrived Sunday after church. It was standing room only. We were seated and running out of time. Miranda took excellent care of us and our food. She came to the table with a smile and welcoming hello. She was quick to get our order. Our food arrived soon after. The food was delicious”
“Wow ! Very unassuming location !! Very beautiful renovation . The food speaks for itself Extreme high-quality for all you could eat ,I typically would be the last person that would go to anything of that nature as I would rather have quality than quantity !It definitely exceeded my expectations !there was a tremendous amount of food as the five of us dined ,as restaurant owners of Zagat rated restaurants through out the Us ,it takes a tremendous amount of talent to inspire us to write a review! Not to mention if the bill was 2 times as much we would have enjoyed it as much great service as well!!!!! Hopefully you have the sever Icha... she was fantastic!!!!! ENJOY !!! It's fantastic!”

But the server Amanda was there all by her self… cashier, drinks, waitress, food runner and busser!!! For the whole restaurant!!!!!! And was giving excellent service, with a smile!!!! She is far better than me!!! Bring sob to Texas!!!!! And please make sure they have been thoroughly trained by Amanda!!!”
“My husband and I haven't been here in many many years. Just seems like the meals have been kind of cut in half and certain things just didn't taste as good as it used to but we still enjoyed it because we have great service and it's just a great place to hang out in”
“Ordered app and burgers margs and long islands. Food was good as were the cocktails. But what was exceptional to me was the service. One of best experiences I’ve had at an Applebees. Host was friendly. And Sandy our server was exceptional. Very attentive and friendly!”
“I just wish they could put a couple of things back on the menu, grilled chicken, and the chicken wraps it would be nice to have them again. It would be nice to have the parfaits back for breakfast, too.”
“I recently visited the Chick-fil-A located at 4623 Gulf Blvd in Saint Petersburg, and let me tell you, it was a chicken sandwich experience that left me craving more!? Chicken Sandwich: The star of the show was undoubtedly their original Chick-fil-A Chicken Sandwich. The chicken was juicy, tender, and perfectly seasoned. The bun was soft, and the pickles added just the right amount of tanginess. It’s no wonder this sandwich has a cult following—it’s simply chicken magic!☕ Fresh Brewed Tea: To wash down that delightful sandwich, I opted for their fresh brewed tea. It was the perfect balance of sweetness and refreshment. Sipping on it while enjoying the beach vibes made my day complete.”

“I went there for lunch today with a friend. Great tasting Fair Food!! The deep fried oreo and chocolate malt were amazingly delicious. The food is reasonably priced. I definitely will be going back!!”
“Great menu, decently priced, lots of options, intimate atmosphere, food was cooked properly and tasted great. Would be a good unassuming/chill date night where time for conversation is desired and given. If you're wanting something quicker, they seemed to have an efficient Togo operation in place and my wife and I saw many carry out customers come and go during our hour and half visit.Update*tried to order takeout this evening and was denied service because they were "too busy". So I guess what appeared to be an efficient Togo operation was not in fact. Still a good date night spot but takeout service is hit or miss at best.”
“We love Millers so much. Megan is such an amazing bartender. Her and Steven always provide us the best service and keep us entertained. The food never misses, the drinks are cold and the atmosphere is great. We love being regulars here.”
“Nice to have a McDonald’s out this ways great way to start what you know is a long day ahead. Hot coffee and they will make sure your order is right no matter how you customize it.”
“Always stopped by every time I come in town to see my parents . Nice groups of people, great service, great food and drinks menu selections, and nice outdoor seatings. Highly recommended booking a reservation for a group of 2 or more. They also make the best chocolate martini in town!”
