“Outback dinner experience was amazing! This was a recently newer Outback location. Very clean, very modern, and a terrific open layout. Similar layout as other locations however lower booth/bar walls which really opens up the feel of the space.
We were greeted upon entry by the friendly hosts. There was a wait, which we knew, it was dinner time. We were told 30 minutes, they called us in 7 minutes. Bonus!
Our waitress was, Susan, a super friendly soul, who was wonderful, attentive, and just the right amount of chat. This one one of the very few occasions that everyone at our table, had their order come out correctly. The staff worked seamlessly in sync with one another. It was the definition of one team working together. If someone saw a drink at the bar ready to go to a table, they grabbed it and ran it. If a differentwaiter saw an empty dish at a table, they grabbed it on their way by and dropped to the BOH. Just overall amazing job by management, the staff, in creating such a positive team environment.
Ok, food. Of course, we started with a bloomin' onion, delicious treat whenever got go. Alice Springs Chicken is just a classic, that cannot go wrong. Kids Mac-n-Cheese w/broccoli was great for the kids. Bland for adults but good cheese flavor for kids. It's also a good cheese to add the broccoli too. Kids Cheeseburger doesn't disappoint. And added fruit cup is nice balance 👌🏼
Overall, one of the best dinner outings we have had in a long time. Highly recommend this Outback location. High praise for the entire team there. Well done!

Update: they added a trio to the appetizers. 3 of our favorites: mozzarella boomerangs, cheese fries, and blooming onion. You get the right amount of each without the overload of one. Amazing 👏 🤩. This pic is a few minutes after we dove in. Forgot to snap a shot beforehand.“

“Tatiana was our waitress and she was awesome. Super helpful made great recommendations. Gave service with a smile. Also enjoyed lady at front desk nice greeting a smile as we came I and as we were leaving. Error in food was not that bad. A+ on the spinach crab dip loved it so much. We got some to go to have tomorrow at home. One in our group said the chicken sandwich is smaller than what she’s had there in the past but still was delicious. Shrimp was good after we got our original order the guest said delicious in fact. Muffalatta sandwich bun was cold. The inside of the sandwich was so cold. It was cold in the middle. with thin thin slice of ice in the middle of the sandwich coming from Louisiana that one disappointed Me. It had all of the right taste in the sandwich.“

“I’m from Texas here for work. When I was driving by, I noticed your store I had to stop. I am a chocolate fan. Thank you for putting a smile on my face..“

“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.“

“The Polish deli here in Leesburg is awesome. The ladies that sell the products are very nice and the food is delicious. Love this place...“

“Had lunch on Monday. 5 stars not enough. Food, Service, and Atmosphere great. Special shout out to our waitress Lisa. You were amazing.“

“food poisoning? I ate the fishermans platter on October 10th and got very sick. Has anyone else experience this?“

“Out of town visitors, noticing a parking lot full of cars was a calling for us to stop. We were not disappointed the restaurant was full of charm and wonderful aroma. We were lucky enough to sit at the bar with locals and have the best female bartender! Forgot to mention…the pizza was amazingly good!“

“We were surprised at how good this restaurant was! Large selection of food choices,and the Shepherds Pie was delicious! The fried shrimp were huge butterfly shrimp with a light tasty batter. The homemade cakes and pies were amazing.“

“We dined there this evening. Wonderful food and very friendly people. They smoke their own meats with Black Jack wood and it is outstanding. Their sides are wonderful, just like mama meant them to be. There are other menu items besides BBQ, but that is their mainstay. The atmosphere is like home, very comfortable, and very positive signs in the restaurant dining area. These are very down-home people who know how to make your tummy happy. Super good place. Best BBQ anywhere around. We are from Texas originally where BBQ is king. This is better.“

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

“Had my birthday dinner here, and we cannot wait to come back!! Food was phenomenal, the service was top tier, and our chef had us cracking up. Highly recommend!!!“

“Its a brewery, and the beer is excellent. Why else would you go to a brewery?“

“🌸 A Scoop of Kindness at Scooples 🍨 I want to share something that truly moved me. My mom, now in her 70s, is navigating the challenges of aging, health issues, and living far from the country she once called home. But one thing that brings her joy is coconut ice cream—because it reminds her of her childhood in Brazil, where her father owned a small ice cream shop. When the kind team at Scooples in Brownwood at The Villages heard this, they gifted her two pints of coconut ice cream—her favorite. To most, it’s just ice cream. To my mom, it’s a return to a time when she still had both her parents. A taste of comfort. A memory of joy. Thank you, Scooples, for your kindness. You didn’t just make her day—you gave her a moment of home. 💛 #Grateful #ScooplesLove #CoconutMemories #TheVillagesFL“

“Excellent service and food“

“Artman’s is TERRIFIC. I ordered a smoked prime rib and smoked turkey for Christmas dinner. Plus, a ton of sides, etc. Everything was ready at the time of pick-up. The entire staff was extremely helpful and professional in the preparation and explanation of how to re-heat, serve, etc. The prime rib and turkey was BEYOND delicious. Couldn’t have had a better Christmas dinner. Thanks Artman’s!“

“What a wonderful hidden gem in Belleview. You would be surprised that a place as nice as this could come from this town but be pleasantly surprised. The breakfast menu is limited and at first I thought that would be an issue but no- what they do have is amazing! Not always do they have tiramisu but if they do while you are there- be sure to get it! The inside dining atmosphere is quite an eyefull. You will feel like your eating inside of a thrift shop. So much chaos but in a fun way. Be sure to stop by this spot in Belleview - you will not regret it!

Parking: Parking is available. There is no valet service offered here if a man named "Greg" offers to park your car for you- Do not trust him!“

“Great place to meet friends for lunch, dinner or drinks. Fridays fish dinner is the best in town. Everything on the menu is wonderful.“

“Although I do like Toojays, I was quite surprised to eat there the other day with a new menu. I always go and get the stuffed cabbage which was so yummy. It has been taken off the menu. I went there yesterday specifically for them. Not sure how often I will go back now. Very disappointed!! Please bring them back!!“

“Great lunch spot. Good. But not overwhelming selection. Some great sides to choose from. All homemade. I had cranberry jello salad and my friend had the potato salad with chicken and tuna sandwiches. Next time im just going to order the sides.....maybe they should add a veggie/side plate.“

“Love this place! Excellent drinks, the staff is super friendly and the food is wonderful. We try to order something different every time we come here. I have never had a bad meal at this place. And it makes me want to come back for more! The Texas burrito is only $23 and it is enormous and could feed you for 2 to 3 days.“

“5+ stars to the City Fire restaurant and the amazing HOPE for a fantastic experience and great food. Our 14 year old Akita Wishy was warmly greeted and invited to join us at one of the outdoor patio tables. Hope was SO great with Wishy -- lots of water refills -- and finding out Hope loves dogs and that City Fire is so dog friendly just made our visit that much better. Oh and the French Dip and Burger we ordered were great -- and the Bourbon Sour -- perfect! We'll bring Wishy back for more fun soon -- and we'll be requesting one of Hope's tables for sure!“

“I'm picky about my fried shrimp and it was excellent. The slaw, potato salad, and half and half tea were good also. Beautiful day to sit outside and have some lunch for a reasonable price. Christine waited on me and she was the best.“

“this place is so yummy, best tacos ever“

“I know, I know, no one expects good food at a food court. I’m a huge lover of gyros. We were in the mall and I had a chance to get one so of course I did.
The gyro meat was more flavorful than most. Very nice crispy edges. I literally saw the pita come out of a pack and onto the grill, and I don’t expect hand made breads at the mall. But whatever brand or source it was from was terrific. The texture was spot on, not too heavy, with perfect browning from the grill.

I’ve been to full on sit-down gyro restaurants that weren’t this satisfying to eat.

The gentleman was upbeat, helpful and engaging. A very nice encounter.

I’d absolutely eat there again next time I’m near by.“

“We went to the Fiests Grande restaurant today (2-1-25). Somebody told the manager that my husband was stealing a cup that was on another table. My husband saw the cup and was showing me how cool it was (we are seniors and if my husband liked a cup that he saw he would have asked our server if the restaurant sold them, we do not have to steal. Nor were we dressed poorly.) So, the manager came over to us, and demanded to look in my husband's bag. I felt so bad for my husband! The look on his face! He was mortified! She did not find a cup, because my husband did not take anything. She embarrassed my husband and me in front of everyone. I approched the manager and told her she was out of line and she told me she had to protect her customers...well, my husband and I were also her customers, she didn't protect us from public humiliation! She also told me " I am Mexican, I know how it feels. I don't know what she meant by that. We will never visit that restaurant again, and probably won't go to Mt. Dora again either! Needless to say, our beautiful day was ruined.“

“Best pizza in the area and great antipasto too. Only the physical atmosphere left some to be desired.“

“Trinity waits on us every Sunday. She knows what we want when we come in but always takes time to greet us and make sure we still want our usual orders. She is a great server!“

“Love it here! Grits are amazing!!!“

“Great food and two for one cocktails, also great entertainment!!“

“This comment is regarding Mark at Store 8546. My wife and I have been going to this location for the last 4 years. It is the only pizza place that we go to. The service from Mark is professional but also very friendly and welcoming. He walks to our table to check on us to see how we are enjoying our order. He shares his humor with interesting and fun stories. Mark is a great manager.“

“Best dang breakfast I've had in a long long time, Their Bacon is delicious...We will be back...“

“buen cervicio delicioso la comida gracias“

“Tonight the back of house has made our day by their dancing and singing put smiles on lots of faces, It was so awesome to see these hard workers having a good time with the guest. Great job kitchen!“

“A quaint place to have lunch.“

“Walked in and sat at the bar, Clara was our server. Our food came quickly and was awesome. I had the Slawpy Pig which is pork bbq topped with slaw. Very tender great tasting sandwich. Clara was excellent and made our visit very enjoyable.“

“My husband and I drove from Orlando to Leesburg to try this location. There are barely any locations left in Orlando besides Apopka area, and East of Orlando. The chicken was fresh! Everything was good. The coleslaw was too watery/runny and too sweet. The staff were very sweet and informative. We will be back!“
