“Went to 5-0 donut co for the first time this week. We bought several types of donuts and an apple fritter. The donuts and apple fritter were absolutely delicious. The staff and ownership is awesome and go above and beyond to serve you and make your experience great. Will definitely be coming back !!“

“My wife and I came to the Ellenton area on our honeymoon. Her local family reccomended we check out Woodys River Roo. It was our first stop and the only repeat stop during our week down here. We went to "The Roo" on three separate occasions and loved each one. The food was great, the view of the manatee river was very nice, but the friendly hardworking staff was the cherry on top. They all really seemed to love each other and worked together like a well oiled machine. They made us feel right at home and made sure everything was just right. Bar tender Johnny, who I belive said had been employed there for 15 years, reccomended a lot of other great places to drink and dine in the area. They also have a gift shop and live entertainment from, music to trivia 7 days a week! 10 out of 10 would reccomend. My wife and I hope to be back sooner than later!“

“Fabulous burgers and fries. Great service. I highly recommend.“

“Hubby had the cod, ff and coleslaw. The cod was perfectly breaded very lightly, the french fries yummy and we never got to the coleslaw (taking home leftovers). I had the shrimp scampi fettuccine, in butter sauce – Yum! The bread with the oil dip was wonderful. I highly recommend this place and wish they were much closer to where I live (SRQ airport-could replace Primos! I’m just suggesting).“

“Best Thai food I've had! The Chirashi bowl was also amazing! It was so good that we drove 30 minutes to come back the next day for lunch. Got two rolls and another Chirashi bowl! AMAZING AGAIN! Service was top notch. Our waters stayed full both visits and we were always made to feel like part of their family. The place was quiet and the music was just right! We will definitely come back when we are in town again!“

“Food was great,but...The napkins were the worst smelling napkins I've ever come across,they literally smelled like a hospital gown“

“The food and service did not disappoint. My wife had the mahi tuna salad. It was excellent and crunchy as described on the menu I had scallops. They were perfectly cooked and very tender. Service was very good. Everything arrived timely hot, and the waiter did not hover have eaten at hundreds of restaurants and this is one of the better onesnot exceptionally expensive and in a mall but quite good food and service and I highly recommend.“

“So happy this is here in our community! The owner, Gary, is always welcoming & only hires the friendliest & most helpful staff! They always make you feel like they appreciate you coming there. Love their Salted Caramel flavor! It is always spotless inside, too!“

“I made reservations for my friend's birthday and 2 other guests were joining us. Unfortunately the reservation went to another Tiramisu in another city. Therefore, no reservations showed when our party arrived. The host was icey, lacked empathy or understanding. He was extremely demeaning and haughty. Finally sat us at a table next to the kitchen which was appreciated. Our waiter was stellar and made everything feel friendly again. The food was outstanding......every course. Im a local for 48 years but the host made me feel like an idiot. Never smiled (not to anyone else arriving later). Maybe not the best first impression to offer your patrons.“

“My waiter Kirill S at the university location was very courteous and attentive. The lemon pepper wings although was small was quite tasty. I was alone and the bill was small so I tipped beyond the recommended amount. Great service and atmosphere.“

“A really nice place for breakfast. And, our server, Celene made it perfect.“

“The buffet on Saturdays is excellent!“

“Celebrated our wedding anniversary at Libby’s and this was the first time for my wife. We found the LWR location to be convenient, great atmosphere, with a broad menu! Portions were bordering on excessive! But we powered through some absolutely delicious food! The staff ensured we were well taken care! Carlos especially was outstanding and made sure we had a memorable and tasty anniversary dinner! She ordered the orange chicken I had the brisket burger with truffle fries You can be sure We’ll be back! Soon!! Thank you Libby’s and staff for a great evening!“

“the food was amazing! we got 2 pizzas, wings, and buffalo chicken dip. everything was delicious. service was horrible. waited a long time for someone to even come over there. after our food arrived shortly and we finished we waited FORVER on the bill. we could had walked out. ridiculous! overall we were sat outside on a beautiful evening and there was a gorgeous sunset. and the sun was in my husbands eyes and we asked nicely to but the umbrella up. that was short lived. we were informed that the umbrella was broke. and had to sit with the sun in his eyes. the money they receive should be plenty enough to buy a new umbrella.“

“Healthy gluten-free and dairy-free beverages and treats and smoothies and so much more. It’s a beautiful space to work or meet friends. I had protein chia cup and hazelnut Barr. So good and loaded with protein! The matcha mango latte was Devine. Toasted bagel topped with cashew cream cheese and micro greens. Everything is made fresh and so delicious. A new favorite!“

“We went to the location on Gandy Boulevard today. We were just passing by and saw it so looked up the menu online. At this particular location there was a kiosk to order and no indoor seating. There was a taphouse next-door that had outdoor seating so we grabbed a drink and ate our food there. The portions were large and everything was absolutely delicious! I was delighted to find vegan options. Everything was well seasoned and very flavorful! We would definitely come back again!“

“I love Solozarnos! The food tastes great and the prices are good.“

“This place is amazing. Great food, great wine, great service and wonderful setting. Best place to eat in LWR, IMO!“

“My fiancé and I had dinner here earlier this evening and it was sooo good! We had the basil fried rice with scallops for the entree and vegetable egg rolls for the appetizer. We will definitely be back! Delicious food and great atmosphere!“

“Why 25 characters? Good food!“

“It's my 1st time @ an Indian restaurant like this 1. The service is great and friendly. Also, the food is so delicious. Especially the Alu Samosa and the Mango Lassi because they're officially my favorite stuff.“

“The Pad Ped Pah, Teriyaki Chicken and Pad Thai are wonderful, as is the Tom Kah (coconut milk soup with lemongrass), and the portions are large. We love the family who runs it -they couldn't be nicer - and the service is excellent. One of our favorite places.“

“Excellent food and excellent service!!“

“Most amazing German food that I’ve ever had. Servers were very friendly & knowledgeable about the dishes that the chef creates. Add in authentic German beer and this place is a must visit. Definitely worth the drive if you are anywhere nearby. I could eat here every meal as there are many options and everything tastes wonderful. Sehr gutt und wundebar!“

“One of the best Indian Cuisine restaurant that we have been to! The food was very good and the staff were so nice. We just love it and we have been there four times and each time was great!“

“This place is my all time favorite. The lava rock is just a neat experience overall. They have a unique variety of sushi rolls as well. I’ve been there probably over 20 times and it’s just amazing. ❤️“

“First time tonight and I LOVE this place! The owners and staff were friendly and gracious. I didn't eat, but the menu looked great. I'm excited to go to more events here!“

“Me and my family have been coming here for over a year now and it's absolutely fantastic every time. Every dish is made to order and so so fresh. We typically stick to the rice bowl options but we've tried a few other things and never been disappointed. Their egg drop soup and seaweed salad are amazing appetizers as well, and all the food comes out so fast. The owner and employees always recognize us and greet us with the biggest smile and best service. We modify our bowls to exactly how we like them (encouraged by the owner!!) and the prices are very reasonable, with only a $1 upcharge for some modifications. Plenty of meat in the bowls as well, you will never leave hungry, even if you only ate the meat with no veggies or rice. Overall, amazing customer service and some of the best chinese I've had.“

“Totally worth the wait for their re-opening! Absolutely amazing food and cocktails and not as pricey as one would think! Amazing, knowledgeable staff…listen to what they say and you won’t be disappointed.“

“I have been here twice now & both times have ordered the same. Order is Pad Woon Sen & Green Curry - both with chicken, medium heat, to-go, no bell pepper or celery.
Pro:
Followed special instructions perfectly!
Green curry is awesome 🤩 so good, definitely recommend.
Each meal plated 1/2 of each entree & got 3 complete meals out of this for $34.
Pad Woon Sen, (1st time), very flavorful with a lot of fresh, crunchy veggies & plenty of noodles.
Ready very quickly.
Con:
Pad Woon Sen, (2nd time), very bland with an abundance of veggies but mostly onions & carrots, not a lot of noodles ☹ & very, very dry.
They put curry in the crab rangoon so we did not order any. 😿“

“We’ve come in to the Lakewood ranch location once a week for the last couple months and it’s been incredible each time! The selection is awesome, it’s so clean, the quality is sooo good, and the owner (I’m assuming guy who is always there is owner) is a delight!!! Great ice cream shop we look forward to this every week“

“Danny Fernandez is BACK!!!! The REAL Danny's Pizzeria is BACK!!!! I was soooo happy to see Danny behind the counter when I walked in. I have been going to Danny's Pizzeria for years until the new ownership happened, ate once, twice, three times then never again. Now that Danny is back, I am sure it will be a weekly event once again. Had lunch 12/10/22, service was 100% top notch, and the food was excellent, as it once was! Thank you for coming back!“

“Happy to find this wonderful place, we have been often and every meal was delicious, good service & the specials are delicious“

“Was there tonight when my family and I witnessed an incident in the parking lot. Management was quick to rush in as well and even gave a discount on our bill bc we jumped up to assist when we saw what happened. We’ve always had great food and service there and tonight was no exception. Well done!“

“My favorite place for breakfast. Have been many times and will continue. We tell all of our friends they need to go!“

“5 🌟 every time we come. Staff respectfully remembers us is definitely a plus especially the way the world is spinning. Thank you for a great experience from day one!!“

“Lunch was very good. Yesika (Jessica) was attentive and quick to fix a kitchen mistake. I recommend this if you are looking for something in Sarasota UTC area.“

“This is my all time favorite dimsum place in Sarasota! 姐姐Jodie is my favorite :) my family and I are Chinese and used to live in New York area, so we love good dimsum and this is the closest you can find in SRQ! The staff are nice and the food is amazing. The flavors are much better than any other dimsum place in the area without being overly salty. It’s the best 😍sadly, they do takeout only right now. You can eat there in the inside seating but it’s all in takeout containers. I don’t think they have restaurant internal staff but they’re still bustling and a great spot for a quick lunch! I love their Shumai (pork and shrimp dumplings) and their bbq pork steamed buns“

“Our favorite restaurant!!! We're regulars and have lunch there several times a month. The food is that good! Everything is always fresh and delicious! I've tried almost everything on the menu and every single item is excellent! Try the shrimp/steak hibachi when you go, my fav! Prices are very reasonable too! The staff is amazing as well! They're always super friendly, kind and deliver amazing service with a smile! Highly recommended and five stars PLUS!“

“Our first time here with our shy rescue dog and we were welcomed warmly. Our waitress brought over large bowl of ice water for him. The eggs Benedict and shrimp with grits dishes were presented nicely and were so delicious 😋. Will be coming back to this sweet neighborhood gem. Staff so friendly. Nice size portions. Wine was delicious too!“

“I probably would have never considered stopping here based on the outside appearance, but I was pleasantly surprised. The food was good, the portions were generous, and the prices were reasonable. The service was also friendly and attentive.
Overall, it was a great experience and I would definitely come back.“

“awesome cuban sandwhich, 1st time visiter will go back“
