Even when we could finish it, he brought a TO GO cup, the boxes, and additional items in case that were so precise and helpful! Awesome experience!

“Group of 4 ladies came in for a light dinner and our waitress was anything but focused. She was just having a day from hell and couldn’t do anything right. We finally did get to eat - the actual plates we ordered and the manager was very kind in waiving all the fees and invited us back for a better experience- of which we have enjoyed. Thank you for making things right. What could’ve been disastrous especially for a first timer turned into - ok we’ll try again another time. Sincerely PV Patty“

“Far out fries is the definition of food truck food in my opinion! They have a great menu selection of old favorites as well as innovative options to try! I HIGHLY recommend the bacon cheeseburger egg rolls with the Cajun fries. I’m obsessed.“

“I met my friend here and the food is pretty good, our appetizers were great, we had the big combo app since we were both starving and by the time we finished that we couldn't eat much of our dinner, my Friend had the fish and chips, with a Caesar dinner salad, & I had the parmesan chicken penne with bruschetta tomatoes and a fresh garden salad, I really liked it
I had to get most of it to go but The few bites I had were quite good. It was Roughly $35 a person but that also included appetizers drinks & side salads, so not bad price wise The service was great so Thank you to our Server Amanda for that. The restaurant was lively & a little noisy but that's normal for any Applebee's. Overall a good dining experience. We will be back.“

“WOW- outstanding service and food. We waited about 45 minutes for a table and it did not disappoint. Staff was attentive, friendly and professional. Two of the top managers talked with us about the staff and the values of the franchise. Food was delivered hot, looked appealing and taste was exceptional. All staff in this restaurant are gold star performers. Highly recommend this restaurant.“

“I've been in Florida for 3 years and have never set foot in a Culver's. I've wanted to but never have. Today was the day. ?

It was a great experience. The reataraunt is a lot bigger than I thought and very clean. The staff greeted us immediately upon arrival and had great customer service. They were all friendly and eager to answer queations.

I ordered the chicken sandwhich with onion rings and my son a bacon burger with fries. Everything arrived to the table hot and was really good.

The only thing I regret was not grabbing the pint of custard in my hand on the way out. I was too full! Highly recommend.“

“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!!!“

Also one of the few places with a good coffee menu…thank goodness! Espresso Freddo (cold) hit the spot on a hot day. Service was 100%.“

“First time visiting. Very cute downtown location. Parking can be a little tight. We ordered the Cheese Flatbread and the special of the day the Beef Tenderloin Board. The flatbread was good and the tenderloin board was amazing. We had sweet tea to drink which turned out to be a sweetened light green tea. Very tasty and refreshing. We enjoyed that surprise.“

Vegetarian options: I ordered vegetarian omelet and it was delicious.

Kid-friendliness: Definitely kid friendly“

“This place is my go-to cheesesteak place in the Bradenton/Sarasota area. I'm a big fan of Delco's in Dunedin and have been skeptical of many other places outside of Philly. This place has everything I'm looking for. Amaroso rolls, Hank's soda, Herr's chips, multiple types of cheese (including Whiz), and so much more. Totally worth it every time I come. Highly recommend.“

“Everything I've had here is good. The wings are the best in town. The 3 pepper sauce is my favorite but I've tried quite a few of them and they are all good. The shoestring fries are perfectly crispy and everything you want in a fry. Don't forget the cheese curds, they are too good not to add to every order!“

“Top to bottom best of everything , a must have every time I’m in town. Mother of Dragons is AMAZING 🐉“

“Great variety of good food and nice atmosphere ♥️“

“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 tried SoFresh The other day for the first time and loved it. Fresh and healthy. This is my kind of eating. I’m so glad they are nearby because I will certainly be going back.“
