“Maple Street Biscuit Company is an absolute must for breakfast or brunch! From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed with a warm, friendly atmosphere and the smell of fresh, homemade biscuits. The biscuits are perfectly fluffy, buttery, and packed with flavor—clearly made with care.
The fried chicken is crispy, juicy, and seasoned just right, pairing perfectly with their signature biscuits. The toppings, gravies, and jams take everything to the next level, and every bite feels comforting and indulgent. Portions are generous, prices are fair, and the quality is consistently excellent.
On top of the amazing food, the staff is always welcoming, attentive, and upbeat, making the whole experience even better. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a regular, Maple Street Biscuit Company never disappoints. Highly recommended! 🧡“

“It was my first time eating here at Mama's Soulfood.I ordered the Oaxtail dinner with yellow rice, Collard greens and macaroni cheese.I just moved here from Miami,Florida 10 months ago..I was very dissatisfied with the Collard greens which had a distinct odor and wasn't completely cooked. Oxtails was very salty. Rice was okay and the Macaroni cheese was delicious. I was very disappointed with my experience. I grew up on soulfood from Miami. I have to say my Mama's soulfood experience was the worst.“

“I've had the breakfast buffet to go SEVERAL times in the past few months. I have my collection of to-go containers to prove it. 😊 The food is always hot, tasty, and filling. This morning I grabbed cheese grits, scrambled eggs, link sausage and home fries. 😋 I also picked up the bread pudding. Delicious!! No pics, because I'm always ready to eat when I get home with the food.
Fred's Market is definitely worth a visit if you're looking for comfort food.“

“It’s pretty solid at this location. I like to get two scoops of salad, as when I have gotten the bread in the past it has been stale. I really love having this restaurant around though, there are many different cool flavors if you’re into all that.“

“I had the best experience I’ve ever had anywhere. I got the oxtail, Mac and cheese, and cabbage and the sunrise drink. The woman who helped me was so kind! (I think her name was Laurie or Maury) I even came in right before close and she was still so sweet. I’ll be back for sure!!
I’m so glad I got this food!“

“The food and custom service is amazing. I enjoyed the barbecue jackfruit meal and the strawberry crunch cake. I'll be returning to try their other amazing meals.“

“I had the pleasure of dining in the Valrico restaurant and tho my review is not all pleasant the results of my issue was pleasant...My mom and I came in for dinner after her Chemo Treatment...Our waitress Bianca was very nice...we ordered our food a Pancake breakfast and Pot Pie...as we waited some time we noticed that tables whom were seated after us were getting their food...well after the 3rd table was served I finally called our waitress over to ask how long would it be she politely responded I'm checking on it now...so I asked could I please speak with a manager...The reason being is that I felt I didn't need to address the waitress because she was going to continue serving us and I didn't want the tension between us...The manager came out can't remember her name I explained to her that we had been waiting quite a while for our food and in the meantime no one said anything to us of why it's taking so long...she apologized and offered us freebies to our satisfaction...We refused the freebies because we wanted what we ordered we didn't come to get anything free...To my surprise she was very professional listened to our problem with a pleasant attitude...Even tho we refused she brought dessert to the table..just wanted to say Thank you to not only her but also Bianca I will definitely be back again...The our dinner was amazing...“

The prices were reasonable, and the portions were generous. The owner's passion for his business was evident; his presence truly made a difference. The restaurant was spotless, and the food was absolutely delicious. The music wasn’t too loud either. I will definitely return and highly recommend others to dine here. I'm a very satisfied customer!“
