“Gas is cheaper and I like buying in bulk“

“The food was excellent Everyone was so friendly we will definitely be back“

“This was a wonderful experience all together! The service was great, made you feel like part of the family. The food was perfect, just so amazing, we tried 3 apps, 4 dinners, and 2 desserts, with 2 bottles of wine... and everything was so good. We met the chef and chatted with her and her husband for a bit after dinner. This was our first experience here but we will be back for sure.“

“My husband and I went to Keke's in Brandon for a Valentine brunch. We had a delicious meal and excellent service by our waitress, Kristina. She was so attentive and made us feel like she really enjoyed serving us. All around it was a great experience!“

“DO NOT EAT LUNCH AT THIS RESTAURANT!!! Unless you have major self control! Unfortunately, I do not and my lunch ended with me taking a nap! I basically feel into a Cuban food coma…apparently it IS a real thing. 😁😄 😆Everything looked and smelled amazing and the customer service was top notch also. The lady asked me if I wanted to try anything before I made a decision and she was very informative. If I had to say anything negative… they made the empanada too hot! They are made fresh to order and I HAD to take a bite before I left the parking lot! Sure, I did burn my mouth… but I don’t care and will do it again! 100% worth it! 🤪 $24 total and that included tip. I couldn’t wait to leave a review! I can not wait to introduce my family to this establishment. Pictured: yellow rice with half black and half garbanzo beans, plantains, stew chicken (Monday special)with vegetables and in the containers are marinated pork and the rest of my empanada.“

“always a great time!! 🥐🥖🥯🍕🍲🍪“

“First Time to Bloomingdale location. Busy but fast service and great breakfast! Lots of options service was great!“

“First time here and I got the BBQ burnt ends hash and it's was SO flavorful. Fresh ingredients and my plate had tons of color. I was pretty impressed. Menu is full of options and I'm eager to go back.“

“Amazing spot, with great customer service and very cozy atmosphere“

“I had to leave a review because I witnessed something that really showed the kind of heart this restaurant has. While I was waiting in line, a worker came in to change out the floor mats — I think he was one of their sanitation or delivery vendors — and once he finished, the lady working (possibly the owner) offered him food. That small gesture stood out to me so much. It showed how much she values and takes care of the people who support her business.

The food was amazing, but the kindness and energy here made the experience even better. You can tell this place is run with real love and respect. Definitely one of those hidden gems that deserves all the support.🥰“

“I want to give a special thanks to Moe and Muhammad for catering our lunch today here at Advent Health Tampa, we appreciate it dearly; everything was delicious and very well presented.“

“This is the first time we ate at the restaurant as a bar but we’ve been patrons of the previous coffee cafe for awhile, I ordered that stack burger and it was absolutely delicious. I would skip the chain restaurants and give them a try you won’t be sorry trust me!“

“We visited KeKe's Sanford location for the first time yesterday, Dec.,7th, 2024. Everything we ordered was over the top delicious. The portion size, especially the pancakes, you just can't eat it all! The coffee was hot and delicious! Kimberly knows her cafe! She made suggestions and took such good care of us. Highly recommend KeKe's for breakfast!“

“this is the real deal food was amazing the vibe was really cool but the food was the best I ever had“

“Incredibly delicious food and large portions every time !! My favorite place to eat in Tampa by far, I visit often. They have a lot of variety, so you can always find something to eat. The chicken curry specialty dish is exquisite I highly recommend it if it’s on their menu. As said by Tarek, he cooks for lunch and dinner and only charges for lunch ??“

“Friendly owners & staff. Tasty treats. Lots of fun little events.“

“This was, without a doubt, one of the best chicken Phillys I've ever had! You could really tell the cook took immense pride in preparing it. Beyond the fantastic food, the staff was incredibly polite and genuinely nice. I'll absolutely be back here on my next visit to Tampa!“

“I absolutely Love Candor Grille ! I watched & waited for it to open as our options are a bit limited living in Fishhawk. I am a foodie & moved here in March. Yeah. Not many options. At all. So when Candor opened, I was running in. My main problem usually is that I am a vegetarian & I am usually stuck eating a salad or sides. Their sides & apps are delicious however. I was over the moon to see they had the Impossible Burger. (& this isn't the same Impossible Burger you get at Burger King guys). This is a thick & juicy burger that you order however you want. Rare, medium, etc * AMAZING! * Not only have they Always been more than accommodating to my needs, they also are accommodating to your dogs needs ! SAY WHAT ? Yes, that's right they have a dog menu & ample space for you & your FurBaby to dine comfortably on the patio. Major bonus points as most of the residents around the FishHawk area have dogs. The owner is such a down to earth guy. Just the right amount of chill mixed in with the right amount of restaurant savvy knowledge. Always available if you have a question about the menu etc. Actually entire staff is amazing & I’ve been coming here since it opened. I’m not sure why some other diners didn’t have the same great service as I did? If you came & had mixed feelings I would urge you to give it another try. All restaurants have a few bumps in the beginning, as far as I can tell, they are on the ball. I can honestly say I’ve never left without a smile on my face. Great food, great drinks, great atmosphere & an amazing staff. To me, Candor is the type of place “Where everybody knows your name” with Major class.“

“Nice and busy spot. I enjoyed the Almond smoothie .“

“Quickly’s is definitely an acceptable choice if you’re in the area and need a quick bite or drink. Their creative and visually appealing drinks taste pretty good, although the boba pearls themselves are just average (a bit hard in the middle, texture not as chewy, and tasteless). Unfortunately, their popcorn chicken is a letdown—I’ve tried it a handful of times, and each time I’ve been disappointed enough that I’ve stopped ordering it altogether.

That said, their croffles are dangerously good. I’ve only tried the biscoff flavor so far, but if that’s any indication, the other flavors must be just as amazing.

The staff here are always super friendly and helpful, which makes for a consistently pleasant experience.

This review would have landed at a fair 3 stars, but the croffle, delicious drink creations, and top-notch customer service definitely bump it up to a 4.“

“greatfood nice atmospherefriendly employees will goback“

“I finally managed to stop in to Chill Cawfee on my way into work. The super nice lady recommended some kind of cookie coffee, it’s a seasonal flavor. I’m going to survive off their coffee for the rest of my life now. Super great referral from the Pemberton‘s! What I did not expect is the spicy chorizo and scrambled eggs. Everything is so good so far, I can’t wait to snack on the cheese danish later. If you’re around the area and you have been here yet, you do not know what you’re missing!! 🤤🤤“

“Very friendly Nice place to stop at“

“Great food. Price is right!! Service excellent!“

“Great food and atmosphere“

“Our experience at First Watch was nothing short of amazing! The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared, but what truly made our visit stand out was the service.

Matt, our server, went above and beyond for us. He wasn’t just attentive he anticipated our needs before we even had to ask. From making thoughtful recommendations to ensuring every detail of our meal was perfect, he delivered the kind of genuine care you rarely find. His warmth, professionalism, and positive energy made us feel like valued guests the entire time. Truly a gem!

We also had the pleasure of meeting Siobhan, the manager, who is both knowledgeable and incredibly welcoming. You can tell she leads by example because the whole team reflects her commitment to excellence.

Between the outstanding food and the exceptional service, this First Watch location has set the bar high. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Where do I start…. For a nice summer day in the TBGP it sure is refreshing to enjoy an ice cold smoothie, with some chicken tenders and fries. Not to mention, Alex was very respectful and helpful whenever I needed anything. I love this cafe. I’m gonna eat here EVERY SINGLE DAY!!!!!!“

“Foxtail coffee is so delicious!! I've been obsessed with their iced matcha with lavender bitters. I recently had surgery and was craving some after and since I couldn't drive I had it delivered. I apologized in my notes for having a single drink delivered (it felt to myself a little silly to have a single drink delivered) but I wasn't clear to drive yet. Well they were so dang sweet and wrote this sweet note on it!! 🥹 It literally made my day. Thank you guys!!“

“First Watch, Riverview, FL is our favorite location. Today we had LeAnn as our waitress, and I must say that she has been the best thus far. She was very tentative and brought our food out as soon as it was ready, and this was the hottest our food has ever been by the time it got to our table. We had two meals, but I only took a picture of one. We are thankful for her professionalism.“

“Very cool coffee house! My first time here this morning and it looks great, friendly staff, and this was the best cup of coffee I've had in a long time. This'll be a regular visit for me!“

“One of the best places to go for a nice buffet lunch $14.00 and that have lunch with all the college kids I'm getting to some intellectual discussions with them just as awesome I recommend to go there as many times as you can is truly a blessing“

“Super fast service and friendly staff!“

“The food here is fresh and delicious. The staff are some of the friendliest people I've met in a long time. I'll be back for food AND hospitality. Thank you for a great experience .“

“Great Cubans, Fast Friendly service. They know us all by name“

“This is my spot before I go to work. The Cuban sandwich is on point, very flavorful. The empanadas are amazing, my favorite are chicken, shrimp, beef and Philly steak/cheese. The service is even better.“

“This is a direct message to the manager Anthony. I am a weekly regular at the Lithia location. I arrive each time just before opening and have watched, for a few months, your employees struggle to unlock the front door from the inside. Please contract the services of a locksmith TODAY to get this corrected.“

“Great food with a great purpose. Couldn’t be happier with their service or their mission to help.“

“I been coming here for last few years. Amazing food great service. You will not be disappointed. 😀“

“Will recommend this location.“

“This is such a nice hidden gem. I had a short time for lunch on a weekday and wanted something good to eat. Looked up some places by me and this one came up. When I got there it doesn't look like a restaurant style but it is such a good place to eat. You can grab something already made and the selection is incredible or you can get something that requires some extra love. The food was delicious and a lot. Highly recommend.“
