This made it to the top of our list of ones to come back too. Kelly was also very knowledgeable of the menu and the surrounding area. She answered all our questions. Thanks again Kelly.“

“I had the pleasure of being served by Kayleigh (KayKay) at Ruby Tuesday, and she was absolutely wonderful! Her service was outstanding, she was attentive, patient, and thorough in every detail. Kayleigh’s kind personality made the entire dining experience enjoyable, and her professionalism truly stood out. She went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect, and it’s clear she genuinely cares about her guests. Kayleigh deserves recognition for her hard work and dedication. I’d even say she’s more than deserving of a promotion!“

“I ordered pickup for my first time today and the food did not disappoint. It was seasoned very well, and you receive a nice sized portion with great selections to choose from. My only issue is that on the website there are no calories listed for the menu items. I would love to know how much I’m consuming without having to weigh out each section of the meal myself. Otherwise great pickup service and I will be ordering again.“

“Fantastic Diner, We first visited Guppys when it was a Blue Shack at the side of the beach, on our second visit over to Florida a few years later, we decided go and find the little blue shack where we had an amazing fish dish with the lovely owners we found by accident and was amazed to see the transformation,, It's now a proper upmarket restaurant still with fantastic fresh food and valet parking with the same friendly family staff. Well worth a driving out to even if you're not close by, it would be the first point to visit on our return.“

“Hands down the BEST pies around!!! Mermaid Pies was recommended to us by some friends while visiting Bradenton… fast forward a few years later (and many slices later) we had Shawna cater pies for our Wedding. It was the highlight of the night, every single guest raved about how fantastic the pies were. I HIGHLY recommend the key lime coconut cream - you will not be disappointed! Shawna the owner is also the sweetest, we love supporting her and her business and can’t wait to visit again soon!“

“My son took me to Little To Jo for my birthday. It was one of the most pleasant meals out i have had in a long time. The food was exceptional and the plates were over flowing. The wait staff were courteous, smiling and trying to please. The decor was calm and you could talk to your dinner companions. I had a wonderful conversation with the table next to us. I will definitely go there again. It is one of the best restaurants in my area.“

“Anna Maria Oyster Bar - Ellenton, FL After spending the day at the Florida State Fair in Tampa, my fiancé and I decided to stop by Anna Maria Oyster Bar in Ellenton—and we’re so glad we did! We ordered fried oysters, French fries, and cheese grits, and everything was absolutely delicious. The oysters were fried to perfection, crispy on the outside yet tender and flavorful inside. The cheese grits were just the way I like them—nice and thick—and the fries were a great complement to the meal. Even better, our food arrived quickly and fresh. Our waitress, Lilly, was fantastic, providing friendly and attentive service. We also appreciated how the rest of the staff greeted us warmly as we walked through the restaurant. It’s little details like that that make a place feel extra welcoming. The restaurant itself was clean and well-kept, including the bathrooms, which is always a big plus. Anna Maria Oyster Bar now has four locations, and after this experience, I’d definitely visit again. If you’re in the Ellenton area and craving fresh seafood with great service, this spot is a must-try!“

“Great Fresh Food & I Love It!“

“Thai Bistro was our first stop on vacation and wow were we surprised! Not only was the food amazing, the customer service and hospitality were incredible! We told the owner that we had never been here before and she explained her favorite recipes with enthusiasm and incredible detail. The owner is passionate about making the food / each plate/ delicious and fresh. Impressive hearing about where she finds the very best ingredients and we loved hearing about the legacy of some of these recipes. When she brought out our food, she also brought a plate of spices, all homemade. Highly recommend! (Pictured below: pineapple fried rice in a grilled pineapple)“

Hats off to this amazing kept secret.“

“We stopped in for the first time this afternoon. They provided the best pizza I remember. The crust is just right, proper crisp, chewy, flavorful. The sauce is a masterpiece, the best I've had since I moved to the area 30 some years ago. Toppings are spot on. I highly recommend this place as The Goto place for a good pie!“

“From the moment I stepped into Blaze Pizza, it felt like I had wandered into a little world of magic—warm, welcoming, and full of joy. The sparkle of the experience truly came from Tiffany, who felt like a fairy godmother of customer service. With her bright smile, kindness, and cheerful energy, she instantly made the place feel special.

As my pizza was crafted, it felt less like an order and more like a magical creation coming to life. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly made, but it was Tiffany’s enchanting attitude that made the experience unforgettable. She turned an ordinary visit into something straight out of a Disney dream.

If you’re looking for more than just great pizza—if you want a little magic with your meal—Blaze Pizza is the place to go, especially when Tiffany is there to make your day shine. ✨🍕“

“Upon arrival , I was frustrated about my commute. Upon entering the establishment.I was greeted by an employee named donald. He was very kind and sympathetic to how my day was going. He offered any kind of assistance that he possibly could give to make my day better and he did. He also showed concern of my well being , which meant a lot to me as a customer. Donald exhibited Excellent customer service skills, and I'm sure his managers will be proud of him.Thank you“

“Neat health food spot offering smoothies, salads, wraps, sandwiches, & smoothie bowls. Perfect for a post workout meal or light refreshing snack. I tried their Tequesta Dragon bowl with a very delicious dragonfruit base for the smoothie portion & tons of fresh berries on top with granola blended in between. The portions were pretty reasonable and the preparation was quick. In and out service is always the best. The staff was very friendly and had some great recommendations.“

“Naomi was awesome! We were missing an item from our order and she quickly expedited getting our missing nuggets! Thanks!“

“We actually visited the Nick and Moe's that houses Quizno's, and picked up some wings, tenders, and chicken sandwiches. As always, they were friendly, with delicious food at an excellent value! Nick and Moe's is my favorite place to stop when I'm in town!“

“The overall service use to be amazing at this Olive Garden. We have come here several times over the years and this is the worst front staff I’ve ever experienced. I checked in and was told it would be a 15 minute wait and told them that I had people coming but instead of seating us after 25 minutes passed I came up to ask the pregnant hostess if they were waiting for my party or something because we’ve been waiting and she was like oh yeah yeah we are without so much as looking at me or apologizing for the wait. There were several of them up there that were just laughing and joking around unprofessionally and the pregnant hostess was eating up there talking with the other ladies at the podium while they ignored us. She disappeared completely for several minutes and after 30 minutes I asked a girl who showed up if we were going to be seated because my party was waiting. She said she would check because she just got there. She went to find the pregnant hostess and told her we were waiting 30 minutes and my daughter overheard her denying it. I’m just not used to that at any restaurant. If you tell me 15 minutes and it’s not busy in there then we have better be seated whether we are waiting for people to arrive or not. It put me in such a terrible mood that I wanted to leave but thankfully our waiter came right away and was amazing. He was very attentive and kind and I felt he deserved a good tip. What made me write this review was when we left there were a gaggle of women at the front with the pregnant hostess and we all noticed that they just stared at us and didn’t say the usual thank you have a good night. No one bothered to politely open the door like they have always done for us in the past. You just knew that they we’re talking bad about you. If this is what this Olive Garden restaurant is turning into then I have to stop coming. I don’t know what’s up with those women but this is their place of work not a place to gossip and bullshit about their life or talk shit about their paying customers who are there to be treated with some measure of respect and kindness when they are out with their family for dinner. I hope a manager sees this review and addresses this issue of plain rudeness. We are also not white and so obviously white people were being treated better and seated immediately. By the way, our pregnant hostess was black but for some reason thinks it’s ok to be rude to us. If this ever happens to us again, a complaint will definitely be filed to your corporate management or the BBB. I will not tolerate this behavior in front of my family.“

“I love how Marianne assisted me today and made my bowl so well, she took the time to make sure it was the way I liked it. I love this Cava I go here once a week with my daughter and Marianne showed me how to get points too which is great. Everyone should go to this Cava!!!“

“I went once and I am hooked! Fresh and tasty! The tzatziki sauce is made daily tastes just like in Greece. Best of all the service is outstanding! I always feel happy when I’m here. The music is fun and relaxing. Great for any night you don’t feel like cooking! 10 out of 10! Don’t skip the baklava or chocolate mousse! The young lady Kenia that works pm shifts spreads joy with her smile and gets things done right!“
