“Had such a great time at Swamp House Riverfront Grill today! Sat at the bar with an old friend and everything was on point. Huge shoutout to Hailey, our bartender — she was amazing and really made the experience. We had burgers and key lime pie (so good), and she even let us try some gator bites — delicious! Great food, great vibe, and truly top-notch service. Definitely recommend this place, especially if you get the chance to sit at the bar with Hailey! 👏🍔🥧“

“I had the pleasure of dining at IHOP on New Year’s Eve 2025, and the experience was truly exceptional. The breakfast menu offered a delightful array of options, and I opted for the classic pancakes and eggs, which were prepared to perfection—fluffy, flavorful, and served piping hot. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, providing a perfect start to the celebrations despite the holiday bustle.
What elevated the meal even further was the outstanding service provided by our server, Jessica. She was attentive, professional, and genuinely enthusiastic, ensuring that every detail was attended to with efficiency and a warm smile. Her recommendations were spot on, and she handled our group’s needs seamlessly, making the entire visit memorable.
I highly recommend IHOP for anyone seeking a satisfying breakfast experience, and I extend my sincere thanks to Jessica for her exemplary service. Five stars all around!“

“Awesome place great food staff are awesome and friendly“

“Oh my. It’s Friday, so it’s time for fish and chips. I was surprised; the best fish and chips in Florida. I didn’t even have to ask for vinegar. Perfect. Great mushy peas and the chips were nice and crispy. The family loved the bee sting burger too. Great work team, it’s obvious you have spent a lot of effort making sure things are top quality.“

“1/3/25…in town for one night, never been here, never heard of this place, just decided to try it. Stopped in around 5:00. The host asked if we had a reservation, we did not. She said “I’ll work you in” and seated us immediately at the bar. The bruschetta was the bomb! The fried chicken was totally out of this world! The service was outstanding! A must go to place!“

“It was absolutely delicious!!I had the steak tip appetizers, sweet tea brine marinated pork chops with mixed potatoes and asparagus, creme brulee“

“Been coming here since it opened about 18 years ago. Never have I ever been disappointed in their food, service and time wait. I have so many awesome memories with family and friends in this special restaurant. I hope it continues flourishing! Can’t believe I’ve never given them a review.“

“Sandy, it was an absolute pleasure meeting you yesterday! Your customer service is above and beyond! Anyone that crosses your path will definitely be able to tell that you care deeply about your customers and community. Thank you so much for making us feel like family, and suggesting that we park our bike safely in front of your business-that was so thoughtful and appreciated. We look forward to visiting you again soon.“

“Had lunch Saturday with my daughter and was very impressed. Service was quick and friendly, food was excellent. Really a nice place for sure!“

“My husband and I intended to do the 1/2 price appetizers. Online stated 9, but it was actually 10. We arrived at 9:30 and I was not waiting around lol. Thankfully they had their two for $25 special where you could each get a salad or share one appetizer and you each get an entree. The last time we were there we got the three appetizers special and the mozzarella sticks were pretty good. So this time we got the mozzarella sticks as the appetizer to share, I got the grilled cheese burger with tomato soup and fries and my husband got the chicken fettuccine with a breadstick and a bogo beer deal. Service was quick, the food was good, and we were out of there for under 30+ dollars not including tip. Nice date night dining.“

“I just want to say what an amazing place this is. We have been here many times and every time service is on point and food is amazing! We’ve had Taylor and Yez as our servers and they are both AMAZING! Tyra is so wonderful and remembers us every time and makes sure to take very good care of us! Jenna the bartender makes the perfect drinks! This place is where we should all be spending our money at. Not corporate places. They truly care about our experience! We will definitely be back!!“

“EVERY time we visit Keke's, it's a great experience! Alexis provided outstanding, friendly service, the food runners were on top of things and so pleasant, and the manager, Eva, keeps the restaurant clean and everything running smoothly. Can't recommend it enough!“

“Zain was amazing! This was my first time at Culver’s, and he went above and beyond to make it a great experience. He took the time to walk me through the menu, gave thoughtful recommendations, and made sure I felt confident in my order. His positive attitude and genuine helpfulness really stood out and turned a simple visit into a fantastic experience. I’ll definitely be back—especially if Zain is working!“

“When you step into the restaurant immediately you feel comfortable! Not a huge dining area but decent, this place has soul!! I ordered biscuits and gravy, with a side of cheese eggs and sausage! Hands down my favorite Breakfast Spot! I have been to many restaurants in Sanford for breakfast. I would put this one on Top!!! The biscuits taste like they are def homemade, and the prices are right, I normally finish my food but I was so stuffed. I left an entire essay about this because I'm very satisfied. Don't plan on eating anywhere else for breakfast!“

“Food was delicious and our service was second to none. Our server Kendall was very attentive to our needs and knowledgeable about the menu. Our drinks were never empty. If you’re looking for great food and excellent customer service go check out Sonny’s in Sanford and make sure you ask for Kendall“

“My son and I had a fantastic time at Decision Tactical. Alexander was friendly, informative, and a lot of fun to spend the afternoon with. We really enjoyed the opportunity to put our skills to the test in the real world scenarios as well as the competitive portions of the experience. I'm especially looking forward to DT incorporating some long gun scenarios into the mix. If I were to offer some suggestions for improvements, they'd involve additional options of weapons available to work with....ARs, shotguns would be the most beneficial. Increased need for tactical reloads or dealing with weapon malfunctions would be awesome. And lastly, some system for delivering physical feedback, like if you were taking incoming fire or if you leave yourself unnecessarily exposed for too long. Regardless, we'll be back.... was too much fun not to run thru it a few more times.“

“Gator bites were delicious,I grew up on the river. Been going to Shady Oak (Sloan's) ever since it first opened in the 60'S.“

“I recently visited Wing Express at 955 S Woodland Blvd, DeLand, FL and ordered two hibachi chicken platters for takeout. Although the restaurant was quiet inside, they appeared busy with several to-go orders. I placed my order and waited around 20 minutes, which seemed reasonable given the circumstances. The chicken was excellent, but the egg fried rice was somewhat bland, and I noticed a few hard pieces of rice. However, the portion sizes were generous, and overall, I would consider returning to try a different dish next time.“

“Best place in Sanford for food“

“Great service by Emily and Marley is a great trivia hostess and Liz is a great manager. They all do a super job at Duffy’s we will be back!“

“Huge rave!!!! I just got home from dinner and have never been more pleased. I have Celiac Disease and a wheat allergy. My server, Sydney C., was knowledgeable about the GF options and even double checked with her manager. She even brought up cross contamination before I did and assured me it would not be an issue. I was actually able to enjoy a meal with my family at a restaurant, which is not something I have been able to do in a long time. Thank you so much for being so accommodating. We will definitely be coming back.“

“Food and service was great“

“Great place! We love their Baby Back ribs!!“

“The staff is always so friendly and welcoming! I do not have any complaints, the coffee is great the people are better! Thank you!💚“

“Great pizza and even better Mac and cheese bites. My son and I are stuffed!! Definitely will come back .“

“We are here from “cold” Chicago, so to be able to sit outside and eat in February is a real treat! The surrounding were quiet enough for my husband to get work done and take a few calls.

The service was excellent and my lunch bowl was amazing! I don’t eat meat and they were happy to accommodate me. My husband had a Greek salad with chicken that he said was good as well.“

“Had breakfast this morning. Ordered Corn Beef Hash, scrambled eggs and grits. The Hash was great. The eggs were cold and the grits were the consistency of soup. My breakfast was brought to me by one of the cooks in the kitchen. The same server replaced the grits with hash browns. Have eaten there several times but today seemed like total chaos which I never experienced before. Regardless of these events this morning I will be back to eat there again.“

“Decided to have lunch here yesterday after hearing about them on a local radio show and was NOT DISAPPOINTED! Awesome New Orleans vibe, great service and the food was incredible! Even had enough left overs for dinner.“

“awesome food and the staff was A-1“

“I was at your restaurant in Sanford, Florida and I wanted to give a shout out to Matt for a job well done. A customer behind my son in law and I was complaining about how long it took to receive his order. Matt kept his cool and offered to pay for the customer's dinner out of his pocket! That's going beyond the call of duty in my book. This young man deserves credit for a job well done in this situation and should be reimbursed for paying for the customer's dinner out of his own pocket! Great job. Well done Matt!“

“Sterling and amber were amazing. Gator bites are really good. service was also very good. recommend if you've never been!!!“

“Me and wife go here a couple times a month, the staff are very professional and well mannered, , the atmosphere is relaxing and the food is great, would recommend this place to anyone, the owner S,Jessica and Jay Gailbreath.are very friendly and responsive. Great place to relax and eat.“

“We go there for Connie! The cute grey bob haired bartender And the friendly welcoming feeling from her and other patrons! People frequent places because of service as much food offerings! Connie and Sierra make up for any food misgivings that may happen!“

“Can’t rave about this place enough, specifically their catering. They are as reliable and accommodating as it gets and makes my job easier when catering lunch for work. Madisen in particular has been so helpful and great to work with. Highly recommend this location for all your catering needs!“
