“I’ve seen this place many times while on the way to the beach. Decided finally to check it out. The cheeseburger was a 10/10. The chicken fingers were 10/10. The fries were 10/10. The Mozzarella sticks were 7/10. The peach shake my wife ordered was a disappointing 3/10. The chocolate shake I ordered was a 7/10.

I’m a little shocked the shakes weren’t better when they are the namesake. The food was super good though.“

The restaurant is located in Palmetto in a cute historic building, which is always fun to visit. Whether you're a vegan, vegetarian, or carnivore, I highly recommend visiting Happy Soul!“

“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.“

“Blizzards were 🔥 well worth the price. Everyone loved!“

“We love that we finally tried the food. The burgers are put together well, like the person making it would be eating it. The fries are made from fresh potatoes, so just like homemade. They have a sign stating what farm the potatoes are from that they are using that day. They also have self-serve, roasted, in the shell peanuts to eat while you wait for your food to be cooked.

Vegetarian options: There is a vege burger listed on the menu.

Parking: The restaurant is at the end of a strip building so there's a big parking lot.

Wheelchair accessibility: There's plenty of room at different tables to pull a wheelchair up to.“

“I ordered using the app and my food was ready when promised and tasted great. One thing I liked is that they asked to see the order confirmation on my phone so they could verify it was me, and that I was not taking an order that was not mine. The restaurant appeared clean and well maintained, and the staff was friendly. My food order was correct and tasted very good. I will definitely return.“
