You don’t usually get that kind of service other than chik fila.. nice job guys!!“

“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“

“The best burger joint around. They have a great staff of awesome workers that do the job right!!! I’d recommend this to everyone. Right of 64 in a beautiful surroundings. Place is a 5 star for this type of restaurant. Everything on menu is made fresh and it’s so good. I’ve never rated a fast food restaurant but this one is way above the others. Great food, clean, great staff, prices are in line with the food. It’s excellent. The fries and onion rings, cheese curds!!!! Haha it’s ok to have, treat yourself and family. This is the best location in my opinion. It’s east of 75. Worth the extra 5-10 minute drive. Thats my take on this all American classic. Just GREAT!“

“Stopped in yesterday and got a frisco melt combo it was very good tasted fresh the reason I’m leaving a review was the amazing customer service my wife and I received from Karla she was friendly from the moment we walked in to the minute we left. She is the true definition of what good customer service is and how efficient and kind everyone should be when working fast food.“

“Burger and Ice Cream was excellent“

“I absolutely love this Pizza Hut location! The pizzas are always delicious, and they always get my order exactly right. I’ve never had any issues, and the staff is super friendly whenever I pick up. Highly recommend this place—my go-to for pizza night!“

“This is a basic hispanic food truck in the parking lot of a gas station... With that being said, the empanadas are as tasty as any I've ever had, anywhere!I give the service and atmosphere a three (at best) depending upon which vagrant is on the corner begging you for money and which employee is working. Do not expect the employees to answer the phone. I've called numerous times and watched them ignore the ringing phone.I give great praise to the quality of the Molida (Ground Beef) and Queso (Cheese) Empanadas for the fabulous price of only $5.00 each. Please consider trying them when you are in the area of 57th Avenue West & 14th Street West.:-)“

“Clean! Friendly Staff! 10/10 would recommend“

“good customer service and clean restaurant.“

“It has been about three years since I've been to a Taco Bell and it was a surprise to see certain changes. The one is the Kiosk ordering system.

I personally don't think it is necessary but I'm sure when it gets busy it might help a little.

This particular location has a nice small dining area and was very clean.

The food was still as good as it ever has been.“

“This is the best Pizza Hut around here as I walked and I was greeted by an employee named Amber she was nice friendly and had a great attitude she helped me with my order and even suggested menu items. Great job to other employees that made my experience wonderful“

“Great store! Owner of the store is always nice and friendly. I live closer to other Subways, but drive an extra 10-15 to visit this location since they never mess up my online order, and everything is really good/fresh. Store is always clean too.“

“McDonald’s on Cortez closed the last 2 days The one on 41 could not accept any cards not even a McDonald’s gift card So drove across town Manatee she was very sweet and helpful“

“Dear to whom it may concern,
I would like to take a moment to recognize the outstanding service I recently experienced at your Subway location. During my visit, there were only two staff members working while managing a line that extended nearly out the door. Despite the overwhelming demand, both the employee and manager handled the situation with professionalism, efficiency, and remarkable composure.
It was evident that they were under significant pressure, yet they continued to provide quality service to each customer without losing their patience or positive attitude. Their ability to stay organized, courteous, and focused in such a high-stress environment truly deserves recognition.
Team members like these are a valuable asset to your company and represent your brand with excellence. I strongly believe their hard work and dedication should not go unnoticed—they absolutely deserve a raise and acknowledgment for their efforts.
Thank you for your time and for having such committed individuals on your team.
Sincerely,
F&C“

“If you don’t have the app you are missing out! $4 mvp meal beats Mc D’s any day of the week, and you get an apple pie. I usually have to wait for them to cool off before I can eat them because they always fry them fresh to order. I slept on checkers for a really long time and now I order it a few times a week. Great deal and great quality for fast food that doesn’t hurt the bank or my stomach 😂“

“I love going to Jersey Mikes. Been to them in about 4 states. Consistently good food and great atmosphere, this location is good also. I get the 17 philly. Always ask about food specials. A great deal and put it on the app to earn points for free food.
See our YouTube channel Coolest Life.“

“Ordered pizza tonight amazing hot and fresh service was great Person on phone was polite even though we ordered late We appreciate how quickly the pizza came and it was perfect thanks again to the staff at state rd 70 and Caruso rd“

“A very special shout out ta Tom aka. 'TP' at the 5300 Manatee Ave W Brdnt store for helping me redeem my reward before it expired the 'old school way' via the phone since the app was NOT having it! thank you for helping this ole birthday girl get her b'day Jimmy J's on while she still could... you're the best Tom.“

“Great pizza was delivered hot! Who ever made my pizza you rock! It was perfect!!! Thank you Thank you“

“Zalaya was professional, friendly, and went above and beyond. She was in there working so hard by herself with a lobby full of people and still managed to help everyone efficiently while keeping a positive attitude. Her dedication, patience, and excellent customer service did not go unnoticed. I would highly recommend her and truly appreciate all of her hard work“

“It's a fast food sub shop, a bit overpriced, but for what it's worth the sub I had wasn't half bad. Growing up in Baltimore in the 70s it seemed like there was a legit sub shop on every corner and it was not hard to find great subs and pizzas almost everywhere; here in Bradenton, not so much. It was my first time to JMs and I wasn't expecting more than a subway type experience, you know what I'm talking about, a decent sandwich but not a good sub. The italian sub I had though was actually pretty darn good, and I think once I dial down the correct combination of toppings I might just become a repeat offender at JMs Manatee.“

“When I get off of work most places in the area aren't open because it's almost midnight, I'm able to drive over here in about 10 minutes or so, good food and reasonably priced... If only all other franchises like this were open a little later. Definitely recommend this place.“

“Here on vacation and just wanted some ting quick and easy. The food was prepared exactly how we like it. And the manager (I believe she said her name was Shelly, sorry if that was wrong) was so friendly and helpful. She immediately offered plates and napkins before I could even ask for them (as a an introvert, I appreciate that). The place was nice and clean too 👍🏼 Overall very satisfied with our order and experience 😊

Too hungry to take pics of the food lol.“

“Very family friendly, calm and relaxing“

“Patrick and Mason are awesome! They always serve us with smiles in their faces and you can tell they care about customer satisfaction. I will choose to go out of the way to go to this subway just for the customer service! The sandwich’s are made with care as well!“

“We always hesitate to stop and get fast food, because you never know if it will be hot! We have stopped at this BK, after Drs appointments in Bradenton. Both times the food was hot and prepared correctly. We went thru the drive thru both times and today used the app. We have been served both time by the same gentlemen at approx 2:45 (I’m the passenger and can’t see his name tag). He’s efficient and very friendly. We’ll return.“

“I came in at about 6 30 there was only 1 employee in the and it was probaly the best subway experience I've had in my life. The whoe store was clean and well kept and the employee Kevin was very kind and welcoming some one should give him props.“

“This subway is the absolute best one in all of bradenton. I work close by so I visit a few times a week. The workers are extremely nice, they make the sandwiches perfectly, the store is always clean and the music entertaining. If im at my home I well skip over 2 other subways to go to this one. Never had any kind of bad experience here and I've been eating lunch there for the past 7 years cause of where my job is located.“

“Amazing‼️I’ve had Charley’s before not at this location but I have to say it was pretty decent cheesesteak. But what impressed me the most was that I asked for was some A-1 steak sauce and they said they didn’t have any. So I started to eat and the associate had went in the store and bought a bottle of A-1 and brought it to me. Amazing service and you can tell they really care about their customers.“

“We came to this jimmy johns (like buttheads) tonight 6/9/26, and we were met with the best quality, fastest service that I have ever experienced here. I love this jimmy John’s now, and I hope both workers have perpetually charged phones and permanently cool pillows.“
