“Alex, a terrific cook, made me a wonderful BLT (with fries & drink only $6.99) that was efficiently delivered to my booth by the personable & lovely Cassandra. Nice girl, good sense of humor. Good food, good service, good prices.“

“Food is pretty good. I'd recommend“

“Absolutely amazing experience all around. The food came out good and hot and their buffalo each fries has my daughter begging for them daily! Not gonna lie, I’m pretty crazy about these simple fries too. Most of all, our Waitress was phenomenal!!!! She was very attentive, very enthusiastic, and not too much and definitely not too little. My daughter absolutely loves her and I watched her with other costumer’s and their kids and I could tell she made their kids feel just as great. After I spoke with her and complimented her and her kind nature, I went on to say how I could see her being absolutely amazing working in an environment with children. Her response, “I’m actually in college right now doing my co-Recs so hopefully I can get accepted into the nursing program and work in pediatrics. What??!! She definitely loves working with people so I see her going after a career that will definitely suite her best. She mentioned that’s just the first stop, so…. We all know college kids need a little extra cash especially nursing students, so I left her the tip she not only deserved, but a little extra for her books or whatever she needs. Ask for Kiara!!!! Kiara Fryer I believe she said. She is the only reason I am writing this review. I need service and food to be great before I actually write reviews, lol.“

“i been wanting to stop for months and finally got the garlic butter shrimp tray. absolutely 💯 hands down. staff friendly place clean will definitely go back“

“LaQuasha and her staff were asked to cater breakfast and lunch for our school for Teacher Appreciation Week and let's just say the food was amazing. Not only was the food delicious but there was plenty of food that everyone was able to get great portions. Kountry Korner has a great staff, great prices and tasty food. Thank you and your staff.“

“We had lunch today, and we noticed the bartender being a little rude to others, the servers were standing around talking, host was not at the front. With that said, our server was awesome (Lauren B) she was seating people, taking orders, and cleaning tables. I just hope management knows what a great worker they have in her. Not sure who or where the manager was but they need to do a better job.“

“Everytime I go in there I have never had a problem food is also fresh and great tasting“

“I love this place. The southern Sam is my favorite breakfast lunch or dinner wrap. Great food, coffee and specialty drinks as well.“

“Stopped in to Lake City CB 10 days ago. A refreshing stop on the road returning home to central FL from a wonderful trip to the Smokies. The New York Strip steak was cooked to perfection. Cheyenne, our server, was attentive, kind, and friendly--an excellent employee. I (Dave) am glad I can order gluten-free entrees from your menu, as I have that kind of food allergy/intolerance. I must admit that I envy my wife who can enjoy your biscuits and corn muffins! We'll be back!“

“We stopped here with our high school football team on the way to Georgia. The manager and staff were amazing. The staff had drinks and table settings all set up at arrival, and our meal ready to go. They were flexible with time, as we had to drive 3 hours before reaching them.“

“It’s been a while since I’ve visited a Culver’s so I stopped in for supper. I ordered the 3 Piece Fish & Chips with slaw, a roll, a side of onion rings, a drink and a small chocolate mint mixer.

The beer battered fish was some of the best I’ve had from a fast food restaurant. It was cooked perfectly, moist, hot and crispy. The fries were hot and crispy and seasoned well. I’m very particular about coleslaw and this coleslaw was great. It had a small chop with no big chunks, dressed well without being soupy, tangy and sweet with what tasted like a hint of pineapple juice. Loved it!
The onion rings were very good but I did not care for the roll. It was cold and a little dry and almost seemed out of place on the plate. Maybe if it was steamed or toasted it may have had a different impact but all in all the roll seemed like filler.
Lastly, I got a small chocolate custard mixer with neon green mint sauce and Andes Mint pieces. The meat sauce by itself is extremely powerful but when mixed in it created that heavenly mint chocolate taste and the chopped candy pieces added a crunchy texture.
The food Was very good but a little pricey resulting in just four stars.
The staff was extremely friendly and the service was OK but a little slow also resulting in four stars. The atmosphere was good and I’m not going to fault the restaurant for a couple of their other guest groups. But it’s a shame when people let their children yell and run around inside a restaurant like they’re at a park!
While $30 was expensive for one person, I have to admit I was able to take two pieces of fish and almost all the fries and they reheated wonderfully in my air fryer the next day!“

“Here for dinner on absolutely packed Saturday night. Callie (I’m assuming a food runner / hostess ) brought our food to us . Let me just say she was an absolute ray of sunshine . She was so kind in such a brief moment but it made a huge impact. She even went and got some things we needed when she didn’t have to and was back in what seemed like a flash . I love how she was so willing to jump in and be a big help to our server while he was so busy . 10/10 . Thank you Callie for making such a great impression in such a small moment of time“

“We were pleasantly surprised to find plenty of parking across the street, and the whole area looked adorable with holiday lights and so much charm. We started with spicy and classic margaritas—both were perfectly made. The bread service was fresh and delicious, and my French onion soup had great flavor. Colby’s side salad was super fresh too. For dinner, I got the homemade chicken tenders (so good—NOT processed at all), and Colby had the Honey Pig Roll, Bang Bang Roll, and the Cajun Seafood dish with fresh fish, large shrimp, and andouille sausage in a tasty house-made Cajun sauce. Everything was flavorful and well prepared. Our server was really busy but still did a solid job. The décor was amazing, and the live music at the bar makes us want to come back soon. We definitely recommend—just wish the brew house offered more local craft beer options!“

“good food, great service. resturant was beautiful and very clean. t our server was awesome. we will be back. loved the pork chops chef!“

“This is one of the best layouts of any golf course I’ve ever been on and btw I’m in the golf business so that’s speaks volumes.“

“Suzie was our server and was awesome. great food“

“Our Denny's has come so far in the past few years. Sherry Strickland was a wonderful Manager. The service was always good, as was the food. She will be missed. Today, hubby and I came in with a bit of trepidation, but we were pleasantly surprised. The new Manager in training, our favorite Star Trainer, is keeping up the tradition of quality service and delicious food! 5 stars!“

“This Waffle House is awesome! We were greeted by friendly employees as we entered the clean restaurant. Susan was an excellent server and provided us with top-notch service. She took our order accurately and made sure we had everything we needed for our breakfast. Shannon cooked us wonderful scrambled eggs with cheese, fluffy waffles, golden hashbrowns, and crisp bacon. If you are looking for delicious food in an inviting atmosphere, I recommend his Waffle House in Lake City.“

“Friendly servers and great food.“

“Had a great experience at Chili's! The food was fresh, flavorful, and came out quickly. What really made the visit stand out was our server Steve-he was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect the whole time. Drinks were always refilled, and he checked in just the right amount without being overwhelming. Overall, great service and a relaxed atmosphere. Definitely coming back!“

“Always a good choice for breakfast nice 0kace friendly people“

“The restaurant is very clean and the tables are comfortable but the decor is a bit dated and the interior feels like you stepped back to the 80's. The food took a bit to get out and it was decent for the money but nothing to make you wanna come back unless you have a strong desire for deep fried shrimp and fish. The hush puppies were surprisingly moist and well done. Usually they are dry and hard. The shrimps are cooked to completion but the near carboard texture of the breading takes away from the taste. The shrimp has been in a freezer for a while which causes the meat to get tough after you cook it. The fish was much better but one side was a bit dark. About 20 seconds less in the fryer and it would have been perfect. The drinks are a bit warm out of the fountain so use the pound of ice they put in the cup for you, you'll need it. They stayed pretty consistent but no heavy lunch mob to overwhelm the one counter person they had operating the entire front. Parking is free and plentiful so no need to fret about finding a spot. The bathrooms are clean just as the rest of the restaurant appears. The staff is doing a good job keeping things clean and pretty but the food is getting smaller and freshness has left the building. For a quick meal to satiate a seafood craving they will do the trick but it's not a high quality restaurant and they don't try to be one.“

“We were staying in Lake City for the night. Decided to try LongHorn restaurant for dinner. Upon arrival we noticed the parking lot was quite full. Pretty popular destination. Went inside and were greeted immediately and then seated without any wait. Pleasant surprise. Our server for the evening, Hallie G., came to the table quickly with menu's, a greeting, and a smile. She stopped by a few minutes later for our drink order. When she returned with our flavored tea she took our order. We both ordered Ribeye steaks. I made a special request for grilled asparagus versus steamed. She wasn't sure if the cooks could accommodate it due to their being very busy in the restaurant. She stated however that she would certainly ask for us. She must have asked very nicely. What are Bill arrived at the table complete with grilled asparagus for me it all smelled wonderful. The steaks were cooked perfectly. They were the best steaks I've ever had at Longhorn. The grilled asparagus was cooked wonderfully and tasted great with my steak and baked potato. When I return to Lake City on my next trip, I know exactly where I will be eating dinner. Thank you Longhorn and especially Hallie G. For a wonderful dinner and a great experience.“
