She could not have been any better. Had everything we needed and the food was outstanding. I called and spoke to Jorge and told him how pleased we were. People are so quick to complain so Kim & I decided to tell them how happy we were with start to finish. Gators Dockside has always been my favorite restaurant, and it’s still my favorite restaurant. Thank you again Jorge, & Kristina .“

“Great restaurant serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner options. I was craving breakfast on my way home from a hike and came across this Big Mike's. They were on the verge of closing for the day when I walked in but the staff was more than accommodating. Had Country fried steak and eggs with hash browns and bacon! Everything was cooked perfectly, and fresh out the kitchen within 10 mins. The best breakfast I have had in months! Great prices for great food!“

“I booked the Wellington for my daughters surprise Sweet 16 and it was the best decision for a venue. The place is classy the staff was attentive. I highly suggest the Wellington at Seven Hills Club House for any event. Thank you for making my daughters day memorable.“

“Food is great! Atmosphere great! Wait staff is phenomenal! Overall management...sucks! Servers should not have to seat, wait, bus and even check-out customers. Where are the owners on busy times of day to run the business. Plus ..and even worse...the two men that seldom run the check out are rude. They don't say one single word to you, but take ur card or money. Don't say thank u or anything. Great food...great service.... Lousy management“

“We had a luncheon for 16 people Friday, March 29, 2024 and Robin was our server....she was polite, efficient and pleasant. All the food arrived at the same time and we were all very happy. We will return.“

“Had a great time at the watch party tonight! Great place to have a beer and watch the game! Will definitely be back the wings were great!“

“From the moment I walked in, Cheddar’s delivered an exceptional dining experience. The service was phenomenal—friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome right away. Our server went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect, checking in just the right amount without being overbearing.

Now, let’s talk about the food—absolutely phenomenal. Every dish tasted homemade and fresh, living up to their “scratch kitchen” promise. I ordered the chicken tenders and rib combo, and it was crispy, juicy, and seasoned perfectly. The sides were just as impressive—hot, flavorful, and generously portioned.

From appetizers to dessert, everything was delicious and arrived at the perfect temperature. The quality, portion size, and prices all exceeded expectations.

If you’re looking for a relaxed, satisfying meal with top-notch service, Cheddar’s is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be returning!“

“Love this place“

“Been coming here every other day for a couple weeks now, always pleasant, foods great, and prices are can’t beat!! Highly recommended!“

“I love skinnys wings...but today was a failure. I ordered a 10 piece of breaded garlic parm wings (my fav). When they came out fresh and hot, I ate one and I could taste a fishyness to them. I had my buddy try one and she said the same thing. The waitress (who was great) took them back to get me new ones. Here's the kicker! I know they werent new wings. I know they were sat under a heat lamp for a bit and just left for re-serving. Not cool!! How do I know this. I left one piece of celery in the basket. when it came back out the same one piece of celery was in the same place. But thats not even it. When the wings were dumped into the basket the first time, they were dumped over the little container of ranch, and it left a perfect ring of nothingness under it..just the basked liner clean as a whistle. When the supposed new wings came out... the ring was still there, still void of any seasoning remnants. same wings... same fishy flavor. sorry but that was horribly disappointing! I still tipped the waitress a 10 spot on a 24 dollar bill! Not her fault. I still will recommend Skinny's and thier wings... just not today! I took 8 of the wings home... had my roomie try one and she said the very same thing.... Fishy. tossed them in the trash!“

“night shift is always fun great staff always up beat love going there Denny's sucks“

“Great BBQ and great service. My go to place for BBQ when I’m in the area“

“My husband and I attempted to watch the sunset at Pine Island, apparently half of Spring Hill had the same idea...we missed it and decided to have dinner at Bayport Inn. Even though we were there 15min before closing, the hostess said we could still order and let us pick out a table. Our waitress, Nicole, was amazing! She went above and beyond, even though it was closing time. The food was wonderful and the price was great for the amount of food we received. We highly recommend having dinner here. They also have gift shops in the back. When it gets cooler we will be back to sit on the patio and enjoy some live music. This may be our new favorite place to go. Thank you to Nicole for making our evening memorable, even though we missed the sunset.“

“Excellent food, excellent service.“

“Ordered an Italian sub and it was excellent!! I’ll definitely be back. 😎🤙🎩🧚‍♀️“

“Me encanta comer aki“

“It is an excellent dive with a pleasant atmosphere. The food is also surprisingly good. Wednesday Wing Night is a thing.. $.60 wings. No, I do not work there, but it is a great dive.“

“I had the BEST experience not long ago. My servers name was Kayla and she was absolutely AMAZING!!! She has a great attitude, food came out fast and was delicious. I will keep coming back as long as she is my server 💖“

“the service was nonstop incredible the food was quick everything was clean they had all the right football games on it was just a great time for all“

“This is our first time at Spring Hill location. We placed an online order a week in advance but we were told by staff that they are out of order at the time of arrival. We did not get any notification only to email to pick up an order at designated time. It would be better for the store to reserve the order for people who have ordered/paid/planned to pick up instead of selling to walk in customers.We were offered the whole turkey to replace our order at no extra charge. We accepted it. Just be mindful that online order does not guarantee that your food will be there.“

“The Burger Den by far, is the best burger I've had literally in my life! There is absolutely no burger joint in the state of Florida, that comes close to them. The thickness, juiciness, and flavour is beyond amazing. It's worth every bit of $15. I don't mind paying for something as good as this burger. We've already ordered 4 times within 2 weeks. Plan to be long time customers!“

“Grilled options are amazing love the cat fish and lobster rolls“

“We, my husband, my husband's cousins, and I, used to eat here all the time....at least once a week. That was, until this "Covid"- thing cut into their hours and business. Now that Covid is over, their hours are still very limited. They close at 2. We, seniors, like to go out for dinner, in the evening. That's when we went. Now, closing at 2, haven't been back in months, if not more. Today is Sunday. Think they would be open all day, but, no. Still closing at 2. Very sad. Love the food, though, but can't eat there if they aren't open.“

“Everything was hot and delicious! The place was empty tonight, and we hope they don’t close down during this pandemic! Our waitress was fantastic! Didn’t miss a beat! Smaller menu, but still good. Only could have Cesar salad, no other dressings ..but it was delicious! Fresh and plenty!“

“Took my handycaped wife to this restaurant. They ask us to leave because we had her service dog with us. They said the dog was not allowed to sit next to her where he needed to be to do what he was trained to do. They are not ADA compliant.“

“always great when I come here always nice getting free chips and salsa along with their delicious burgers waiters are great and on top of it“
