“What a great staff. We showed up in the middle of a torrential downpour during Hurricane Debbie. The staff had towels ready for us to help dry off in the lobby while checking in. Room was nice and clean and big. The staff at the Bistro was super friendly and made it so we didn’t have to leave in the middle of a storm to grab dinner. Thanks to everyone at the hotel.“

“Dave and Paul are the best; they always make my husband feel like family. The food is always top notch! However, why is Dave always working so hard? Dave needs a raise 🙌🏻“

“The mahi mahi is dry, the chili sauce is too hot, sweet mashed potatoes are heavy on brown sugar more like a sweet potatoes casserole, steak is not good- dry, mac & cheese is not good. What was good: salmon, green beans with rice, grilled shrimp, mashed red potatoes, best soft pretzel I have ever had!
Great music and atmosphere…“

“We had a wonderful Anniversary dinner with a beautiful view of the river at the restaurant! We both ordered the Proscuitto scallop tagliatelle, and it was incredibly delicious! The portions were large, so there was almost half left over to take home. We just had try the aguave cheesecake, and it also was really yummy!😋Our server Delilah was perfectly attentive, and our meals came our very quickly! We will come back for sure. I want to try everything on the menu!“

“Love this Sonny's...We had a wonderful server named Logan...she was awesome..very attentive, great service, good food. If you visit ask for Logan!“

“We had the pleasure of being served by Brian Burger at The Island, and we just wanted to say how much we enjoyed meeting him! He was not only attentive but also entertaining and funny ! It’s rare to encounter a server with such personality , we thought his boss should know what a gem they have on their team! :0)“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Pub Americana, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience. I ordered the French Burger, which was absolutely amazing. The combination of caramelized onions and goat cheese created a rich and flavorful profile that I couldn't get enough of.

My wife opted for the Hangover Burger, and she was equally impressed. It featured a fried egg, bacon, and a delightful avocado aioli that elevated the dish to another level. She remarked on how good it was, and I couldn't agree more.

Our friends mentioned that they make all of their burger patties in-house, and if that's true, you can really tell! The meat in both burgers was incredibly tender and flavorful, showcasing the quality of their ingredients.

To top it all off, we enjoyed parmesan fries served with a jalapeño ranch on the side. This unique spin on the classic fries added a delicious twist that complemented our meals perfectly.

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the food and the atmosphere at Pub Americana. I will definitely be going back for more!“

“I am not sure if the base is the local community but from the other guests I was it sure looked and felt like it and it made a cozy atmosphere. My server was wonderful and the good was fresh and good.“

“Very casual vibe to the place. We sat at the bar. I was super excited to see Buzztime trivia. The servers were attentive yet not overly in your face. I got the buffalo wings and my goodness they were lit!🔥 The smoke flavor combined with the sauce was incredible. Yes, they actually smoke meat. Had a great chat with one of the owners, he was very personable and his excitement for what he’s doing was apparent. Husband really enjoyed the brisket pizza. The only downside is that it’s not closer to my house or this would be my local hangout. Recommended if in the area!“

“If you bring your kids on the Disney Dream, I guarantee this will be their favorite sit-down restaurant. It has technology like Turtle Talk with Crush at Disney World, and Crush moves around the screens in the rooms to talk to tables. The food was good; we were shocked at how much we did enjoy the menu here.

“Ordered steak and eggs for breakfast, the 5 ounce NY strip was not great, the eggs weren't bad, hard to mess up fried eggs too much, the breakfast potatoes were the best part of the meal. The bartender discounted the meal as the steak wasn't the best. Gave them another shot a few days later and the omelet plate definitely made up for the steak.“

“I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS CHARLEYS!!!! the food is good. but the management and the service in the Charleys cheesesteak in St Augustine Florida in the Walmart is horrible! I was overcharged by more than $4 and their signs all over the place quoting the correct price. the manager was nowhere to be found so the cashier called her and they still refused to adjust my charge. there is no way to get in touch with corporate the phone number that I did find sounded like it was in China. she said that there was no corporate phone number. I think it's very serious matter when I restaurant cannot be contacted about one of their stores and their managers.“

“Who would have thought a great B B Q place would have fantastic , hand breaded shrimp? Everything has always been spot on at both locations. But the shrimp and the service made my day.“
