“Great food and views of the lake“

“Server was Tiana. Great service. Breakfast was the worst. They don't offer hashbrowns. Home ? our small frozen dehydrated potatoes, then fried. Biscuit and gravy, the worst ever. Pancakes great. At 940am 10 tables ONE (1) server. Really bad.“

“One of the best meals I have had this year. Taste-wise Goblin Market delivered, I’ve never even considered honey truffled scallops. Not to mention the steak was cooked perfect, juicy and topped with de vin, au jus and bleu cheese. My husband and I can’t get over how much flavor our meals had. We left happy and full.“

“We've been going to Mary's semi-regularly for breakfast, for about 6 months now. It can't be topped. We finally went in the other day for a lunch..and got the burgers. Not gonna lie, that was the best burger I've had in 8 years of living in Florida! Mine, my wife's, and my son's were all perfection. My other son got the chicken tenders...he said they were fantastic. MUST TRY!!!“

“love the corned beef hash platter ! but everything is great“

“Bath was an excellent server at the bar we sat and ate the pot roast dinner which was fabulous. Look forward to coming back again soon.“

“Family owned , and food was great. The Z playing for music. Support your local establishments. Very clean .“

“There's a reason Culver's has been voted the Best for quality of product, value, cleanliness, friendly service, sanitary bathrooms, clean outside surroundings. They consistently get it right. (Like Chick-fil-A, who I believe came in second).
I've never been disappointed. I'm a pescatarian so even if I frequent this restaurant I have a delicious fish sandwich, fish fillets, veggie burger, or one of the many sides.“

“Visited the Ruby Tuesday in Leesburg, Fl today and wanted to comment on the server we had. His name is David and he was great! Friendly, courteous and prompt service. It was a very pleasant experience. Thank you David!“

“Great live music! Dog and kid friendly!“

“A wonderful experience at this new Cuban Cafe in Leesburg, Fl. The food was amazing. A shrimp dinner in a delightful red sauce with rice & beans and sweet plantains. Wow ?delish! I had a special treat, Mango Boba Tea, something I’ve never had before and I loved it. And as if that was not enough, we had for dessert a scrumptious bread pudding that was “to-die-for”. Thank you so much to the owners for opening such a great spot in this area. They certainly have earned our business and we’ll be coming back for more.“

“This place is a hidden gem. It gets busy and you do have to wait on your food but it's worth it. It's not a McDonalds! Atmosphere is the best I've seen in this area. Live entertainment on the weekends and some of the best musicians in Lake County. I give this place a five star because Food was excellent and service was good. I came with a group unexpectedly of 20 and EVERYBODY was happy. That's rare for our group. I highly recommend this place.“

“We were there with a group for a Christmas dinner celebration. The staff was friendly, accommodating, professional, and showed a fun personality. The food was absolutely outstanding. Even the turkey, which can be drier than dust, just melted in my mouth. The roast beef was the perfect temperature/doneness and was delicious. I look forward to returning for another wonderful meal.“

“Great Food and Great service... My husband and I love coming here... If you leave hungry, its your own fault... The plates are always loaded with delicious food....“

“I reached out to the folks at Minneola Inn to ask about their boat rentals. They had us out on the boat next day for an amazing day on the water! The boat had everything we needed and Todd gave us amazing directions to navigate the lakes and also some good fishing and swimming! We went out for the morning, came back for some amazing lunch and yummy drinks, and then went out for the rest of the day before returning around 5! We can’t wait to come back next year! Thank you all!!!“

“We had a Cob Salad with chicken, served in a large bowl, all of the fixings that go with a cob salad where on the bottom of the lettuce. My husband who ordered the same salad didn't get any bacon. , both salads had very tuff chicken. Very dissapointed for a meal that cost us $72.00 for salads. We did have chicken wings too, they where over cooked. We where with another couple and they said their meals where okay. All os us have been there before and the meals are always okay, but not great. We'll keep trying...“

“Bono cooks up the best catfish you gonna find in Florida. With okra and hush puppies also on the plate only the heavenly banquet could be better. (I’ll bet Jesu❤️catfish too!)“

“With all the specials that they're running, the food was actually very good and a good value. It was a Monday so it was busy at lunch time but our server did keep up and followed up with our table service often.

I did order a burger" pink" but it came not pink. I guess those are the two type of temperatures that they offer. Even though it wasn't pink. It still was good and it was juicy enough. It wasn't dry.. The fries were good and hot and did have a nice salt and pepper type seasoning on them. The restaurant did seem to be clean and maintained.

I think the one thing that gets a little confusing is that there's a new special running for $9.99 for a burger or a fried chicken sandwich which we saw on several ads and I'm sure they had it there but there was nothing on the menu or on the little signposts on each table. Plus they run a Monday special for a burger anyway. So to run two different Burger specials that coincide both on that day can be confusing to people. One of them is a full meal deal and the other one is just the burger and fries without the drink. I myself think that one special would make more sense than having two different kinds of specials.. other than that, I hadn't been to this location in many years and I hope to be coming back again soon.

“My family stopped in today before we caught a flight home today. My aunt and uncle live in Mount Dora and visit there often. My mom and I were visiting from Saint louis Missouri and was our first time there. I really wanted to give a shout out to your waiter that was working this morning around noon!! He was a superstar running around like crazy today. He was taking orders, seating customers, and cashing out customers. There was only one cook and one busser/dishwasher. Apparently 2 people had called in sick and he was so busy he couldn’t even call for someone to come in to help him. The crew this morning definitely deserves a raise. Unfortunately I didn’t get their names. But they all did a great job.“

“One of Leesburgs sweetest places for a meal. Tonight Mandy was our server again. She remembered us and questioned about an activity we had talked about on our previous visit here. Great service and the best strawberry shortcake around.“

“Another amazing and tasty meal with fabulous, attentive service. Check Jack always knocks it put of the park. By far, our favorite place to dine. We are alway treated likely royalty. We drive 45 minutes each way and it’s well worth it!“

“Gabby is a good and attentive waitress. Thank you Gabby for taken care of us.“

“It was evening and I had the chicken sandwich, which was edible and hot, but not quite fully cooked. We also ordered a waffle. The waffle station was a bit of a mess, but the waffle was fine.
In general, the kitchen area was pretty unkept and dirty — not up to the usual Waffle House standard. Overall, though, it was a satisfactory trip.

Dietary restrictions: There really isn’t much here suitable for a diabetic to eat.“

“Andy and Kathy made us feel super comfortable and welcome. The grilled has an excellent tequila selection, great food and a happening music scene. This will definitely be one of our main hangouts as we snowbird in Lake County.“

“Wasn’t able to eat there for over 10 years was Living in Hawaii an its as good now as I remember“

“We have tried many different lunch items and each meal has been excellent. The croissant is my favorite. The boxed lunch is a great deal. It includes the sandwich, chips of choice, cookie of choice and a drink. There are many options for take and bake meals the are also delicious and easy to make. Location is clean. Staff is friendly and efficient.“
