“Mark the manager of the restaurant and Rachel one of his employees made our first visit extremely worth it. Our food was immaculate and totally worth coming back for we didn't think Bob Evans was the place to check out but we're glad we got a gift card for it so we can see for ourselves and we suggest you do too.

Thank you Mark and Rachel.“

“We had a wonderful dinner at Maxine's on Shine during Magical Dining. Our server, Mara, was attentive and friendly from start to finish. Maxine and Mr. Maxine also stopped by our table to chat, and that personal touch made the evening feel special.

The Passion Star cocktail had a memorable presentation, and it wasn't watered down with ice like so many restaurant drinks are. It tasted the way it should from the first sip to the last.

For appetizers, we shared the nachos and the Smoked Salmon & Avocado Cream with naan toast and mixed greens. Both were fresh and flavorful. For my main course I had the Wagyu Filet of Sirloin Au Poivre, and it was tender and perfectly seasoned, with a peppercorn sauce I'd order again. My dining companion had the lobster ravioli with shrimp and loved every bite. We finished with the red velvet cheesecake and the chocolate mousse, both a great ending.

We thoroughly enjoyed everything, from the food to the service to the atmosphere. Highly recommend, and we'll be back!“

“We had such a great experience at The Monroe. This place honestly deserves the hype. The food overall was excellent. Nothing we had was bad, but some dishes definitely stood out more than others. The jalapeño popper deviled eggs were insane and easily my favorite. The General Tso cauliflower was perfectly crispy and flavorful and ended up being my husband’s favorite. The fried chicken is huge and comes with what feels like four sides, so it’s more than enough to share. I’m very picky about mac and cheese and theirs was genuinely impressive. The bread pudding was unreal, it comes out like a crispy brick on the outside and soft and gooey inside. Drinks were great too. The Flamingo drink was really good, and their iced lattes were surprisingly amazing, not just good for a restaurant but actually good. If I had to be picky, the s’mores and the warm potato salad were just okay compared to everything else. Service really made the experience. Our server Sarah was so bubbly and kind, and her recommendations were mostly spot on. We also had a situation where a child tried getting into our car. We mentioned it casually and didn’t expect anything to come of it, but she immediately took it seriously, got the manager, and he went out right away to handle it. That level of awareness made us feel taken care of and able to actually relax and enjoy the rest of our night. The pricing was honestly kind of shocking in a good way. We ordered three appetizers, a large entrée, two alcoholic drinks, two coffees, and dessert and it was right around $100. Overall, great food, great service, great pricing. A couple things I wouldn’t reorder, but the things that were good were really good. We’ll definitely be back.“

“Visited during Sunday Brunch and LOVED it! Food and service was OUTSTANDING! Manager Nate welcomed us like family and Kayla our server was also amazing! They both gave us great recommendations and were spot on! The endless shrimp, sirloin and crab legs, plus a Pasta Bar and small plates make the brunch a great deal!! I ordered off the menu and loved the flatbreads and burgers! Highly recommend! Flavorful diverse food menu at affordable prices! LOVE! I will definitely be back!“

“Yum, Yum, Yum! I was invited to lunch at Papa Diesel's Restaurant on my visit to Apopka, FL. From the moment I entered the restaurant, the entire experience was a treat. A friendly family atmosphere greeted me at the door, with the added touch of care that was immaculately given to every detail. The aroma from the kitchen activated my taste buds, as I stared mesmerized by the extensive menu. Finally, I decided to go for the “Diesel Sampler”. The brisket was so succulent that it melted in my mouth. The ribs fell from the bone with such flavor that no sauce was necessary—the pulled pork I used to sample the homemade sauces. As I was told, the sauces will soon be available in the local supermarkets (as I can attest to becoming a family staple). Needless to say, the sausage, chicken, and sides all met with the same flavorful standards. Ending my meal with a dessert, I enjoyed the peach cobbler and shared a nibble of key lime cake with my date. It was an enjoyable afternoon, sharing special time with loved ones in a loving environment, dining on food prepared by Papa Diesel, who loves to cook for folks, and making them feel at home!“

“So delicious! Excellent service from everyone, especially our server Shaun. He was so thorough and answered all our questions. The Cedar Key clams were to die for! I had the scallops and my husband had the burger for dinner- so freaking amazing ! I can’t say enough about this place! The owner was walking through the dining room checking on everyone, greeting everyone - thank you Carol for an exceptional experience!“

“What a wonderful dining experience my family had at Metro Diner. The food was so amazing and the portions were very large, but what topped off our experience wonderfully was our waitress Karen. She was very pleasant personable and made us feel like we were old friends that came to visit. Karen was so helpful and attentive to our needs and she even threw in some good ol’ humor to make us laugh. Thank you again for your service and we look forward to seeing you again! Dale L.“

“Amazing atmosphere to hang out grab a drink and eat great food!“

“Best burgers in central Florida. Fresh ground beef. Smashed, seasoned and cooked to perfection. Amazing Mac and cheese. Exceptional customer service. 10/10 can't recommend enough this is gonna be a new regular now. |“

“Ordered Bolay for lunch through the app and was so excited to find a free Bol coupon in my rewards! Ordering was super simple and straightforward and the ready time was super fast, under 15 minutes! Since this was during the workday, I needed to be able to get there and back with my food quickly to fit into my 30 minute lunch break! I was thrilled when I walked in and my order was all ready, packaged with napkins and my silverware and still warm! It was delicious too! Great option for a healthy and fast meal!“

“This was not our first seating with KEVN!! Lucky us!! EXCELLENT server! He is consistently one step ahead of the game: anticipating your needs and providing that for you. Food at 60 Vines? AMAZING!!! Beverages? WONDERFUL! I have not been disappointed in any capacity. Kudos Team ! FIVE STARS!!! 12/13/2021“

“Ate Sunday brunch. Staff was very friendly, food was delicious and served fast. Bartender (Hailey) was very polite and responsive. Good atmosphere. Would come back!“

“This is supposed to be a Steak Omelet, their manager Marlen refused to replace! Would you eat this? Winter Park location would never have your omelet looking this sloppy!“

“Great service good food selection😎“

“Sheila & I love eating once a month at the BRIAR PATCH. The breakfast meals there are ALWAYS spectacular, DELICIOUS, TASTY & TOO MUCH FOOD - EVERYTIME. The waitresses are all awesome. Today a shout goes out to JILL our EXCELLENT WAITRESS.“

“This place is amazing, I was out at a friend's house and needed a quick lunch while doing chores. I'd never been here before but wanted to try something local instead of a drive-thru and I'm so glad I did! The shop is small and parking lot is small (at least it's free parking) but it is worth it to navigate there. The staff is super friendly and the sandwich I got (Rocky Balboa) was AMAZING! Seriously high quality and the price is decent - I think I paid $17 with a tip. It's on the more expensive side but given that a McDonald's meal is damn near $15 for crap quality - I'd happily pay a few dollars more for fresh ingredients and to support a local business. Highly recommend this place!!“

“We hadd dinner at Metro Diner last night and our server, Nick was awesome. He was very attentive without being overbearing and made sure we had everything we needed. I had the new baby back ribs on the menu and my husband had the philly cheese steak. Both meals were excellent, the fall off the bone ribs were very tasty and hubby said his philly cheese steak was on of the best ever had. Check them out and enjoy!“

“This Mom-and-Pop Cafe is a hidden gem! Beautiful cafe seating, a lot of plants, and trees in the seating area, and not only do they treat you like a guest in their home, but the food is exceptional, with several tasty, healthy options. Try the Chicken salad wrap!“

“Isabel and Johnny are the most dedicated hard-working employees I have ever met in my life one time when I was sad they came up to me asked me it was OK. They cheered me up with a free cookie and a free bowl. I was so happy I will do anything in my power to protect them. They are the hardest workers. I know always having a smile on your face never complaining always satisfying. The customer having no complaints. I truly believe there are two hardest workers I’ve ever met in my life and they deserve the rockstar pineapple of the month.“

“First time at Milkhouse and we were pleasantly surprised it had a little bit of everything. HH menu, beers for the husband, sliders, Cuban, & delicious ice cream for me! If it wasn't dinner, I would've gotten coffee too 😊 The real star of the show was our server, Hector, who was so kind and just a pleasure to be around. Hector, thanks for making our first experience so wonderful and being so kind to us! Cheers!“

“The Vineyard Wine Company is a great spot for brunch. The food is fresh, high quality, and you can really tell it’s a farm-to-table, scratch kitchen. Everything we had was delicious.

As someone with a gluten allergy, I really appreciate how clearly marked the gluten-free options are—it makes ordering easy and stress-free. The atmosphere is also great and makes it a nice place to relax and enjoy a meal.

Definitely a spot I’d come back to.
