“The food and service was amazing. I had the chimichanga was out of this world and our server Stephanie was outstanding.”
“I am very dissatisfied with their Veg. Kheema Biriyani. It hardly had any kheema in it. All I received was a p salty, unflavored colored rice. The worst part is, it is 5 bucks more than vegetable biriyani. I could have at least munched a couple of carrots and beans with lesser price if I had ordered that, rather than ending up eating plain salty rice. Couple of other restaurants in the town provide veg. Kheema Biriyani with better quality. Realized later.”
“The buffet had a great variety of staples we knew and some new dishes to try, all creamy and spiced perfectly (some heat, but not so much that it was too hot). Service was sweet and explained dishes to us, attentive to our table. Very clean restaurant as well. Definitely returning!”
“I had such a great time here with my pals! The assistant general manager B. Morris did an amazing job accommodating me, and my friends also are amazing server Jasmine continuously checked in on us. We had a fantastic time. ALSOOOOO my girl TT, did amazing at the taco bar such a sweetheart! Absolutely loved her!”

“If you’re lucky enough to have Jay as your server, congratulations - you’ve already won dinner before the food even arrives.
We came to F&D Steakhouse for a work dinner expecting a great meal, but Jay turned it into an experience I will remember. He was attentive without hovering, genuinely funny without trying too hard, and somehow knew exactly when to check on us. We even got to learn a little about him, which made the evening feel personal instead of just another night out.
The food was outstanding (compliments to the kitchen!), but Jay was the highlight of the night. He has that rare ability to make every table feel like they’re his favorite guests. By the end of the evening, it felt less like we’d been served by a waiter and more like we’d spent dinner with an old friend who just happened to know the menu inside and out.
Jay, thanks for making our work dinner one we’ll actually remember for all the right reasons. We’ll definitely be back, and next time I’m requesting “Jay’s section” before I even look at the menu!
F&D Steakhouse has incredible food, but employees like Jay are what turn a great restaurant into a place people can’t wait to return.”
“My husband and I went to Fishbones Saturday night 10/12. The restaurant is beautifully decorated. We ordered a lobster special and Chillean Sea bass. It was delicious. Warning with add ons. Didn't realize the Cesar salad was an upgrade including anchovies and bacon. The waiter was very attentive.”

“Aarna and Zayne are so awesome. They’re there all the time and they handle the stress of customers in the store and online orders very well, all while being very friendly and professional. They’re the kind of employees that make you want to return to a specific location like this one.”
“I visit the Heathrow location almost every day. My experience is usually good. Today, however, was not so good: the floor was dirty, the tables were not clean, my wife's coffee order was forgotten, no napkins were provided with the order, and no napkins were in the napkin holders on the counter. When I brought the dirty floor to the attention of the person who took my order, he showed no concern. An additional staff member entered the shop and observed the dirty floor and tables, but no one seemed to think it was their responsibility to take action. I'm not sure if a manager was on duty. After my wife and I finished our meal (20 minutes), still no floor or table cleanup took place. I wanted to share this as I love this business and would not want new customers to lose the opportunity to love it if this may have been their first experience. I tried to reach out via the Contact Us form on your website, but it does not allow a comment to be submitted. I continue to be a huge fan of CFS and will see you tomorrow.”
“Went to Ice-Spot Lake Mary tonight for the second time and it was absolutely wonderful!! My family had a great time and the customer service was phenomenal! Everything was delicious, clean, and the staff went above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience! We loved that there were games we could play while we ate and had fun watching our ice cream being made. Thank you, Ice-Spot! We will definitely be back! 😊”

“This place is awesome for everyone. The food is FANTASTIC!!! The drinks are out of this world!! The staff is friendly and attentive. The food is always hot and incredibly fresh. The sangria is to die for. Come for lunch or dinner!! #mexican #tacos #family”
“Michael Anthony baked the cake for my wife and I's wedding. We had the Key Lime Pie cake (i believe he called it the Key Largo?) and it was the BEST cake I've ever had. He is such a nice guy, and really cares about his craft. The flavor of the cake was 10/10 and the aesthetic was 10/10. All guests loved it so much, one of our guests I believe is requesting he make a cake for her mothers 90th birthday. they are THAT GOOD. thank you so much Michael!”

“They did a beautiful job at my wedding it was amazing I had so Much compliments everyone loved it and they accommodated me and incorporated sunflowers because they’re my favorite , would definitely recommend them”
“The wife and I like to find hidden gems. And this place didn't disappoint today. Very friendly people, and mind blowingly fresh and delicious thai food. We tried thr Tom Yum Soup, Pad Thai and Green Curry..all three hit the spot. Definitely bringing the entire clan here next time and likely will be a regular spot for us.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Fílo is easily the best Mediterranean food in the area for the price! Everything we’ve tried has been fresh, flavorful, and consistently excellent. The quality of the food is always outstanding, and you can really tell they take pride in what they serve. Our pastor loves it so much he eats here once or twice a week, which says a lot! The customer service is unbelievable & everyone is friendly, welcoming, and genuinely cares about giving you a great experience. (Shoutout Olivia!) If you’re looking for fresh, delicious Mediterranean food with amazing service, Fílo is the place to go. Highly recommend”
“Best burgers you can find in Sanford Florida!🤤 from the moment you walk in everyone is so pleasant the servers and the atmosphere. Plus there's always a seat available. I chose outside because i was facing a beautiful plant directly from my vision as I enjoyed my burger, fries and soda.”
“Visited Cork & Olive tonight for wine and a few appetizers. Had the fried calamari and it was delicious. Our absolute favorite was the Fiocchetti - we haven’t had anything like it anywhere else and would 100% recommend.”
“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.

“I had an absolute blast at Memories of India in Lake Mary.
I met the owner, Chef Philip, at my bar a few weeks ago and promised him I would come visit. Promise kept, and I’m so glad I did.
I ordered the mango lassi, lamb chops, naan, chicken masala, and homemade mango ice cream. Every single thing was delicious.
At one point, Philip turned the corner and caught me trying to eat the food like a sandwich. He quickly corrected me 😂
Here are the steps he gave me:
1. Dip the naan in the sauce.
2. Use it to grab little hunks of meat.
3. If you have bread left over, use it with the rice.
Simple. Delicious. 💕
The lamb was tender, the flavors were dynamic, the atmosphere was warm, and the staff made the whole experience feel welcoming and intimate.
Please check out Memories of India in Lake Mary. Chef Philip and his team are doing something really special.”

“Today my daughter and I enjoyed Mother’s Day tea at this lovely tea room. From the moment we walked in, you could feel the warmth and friendliness from the staff. We were greeted right away and taken to our table. My daughter tried a caramel tea and I tried a Hawaiian tea, both were excellent. The food was nothing short of spectacular. A special treat today was the live harp that was being played when we walked in. What a very special touch for Mother’s Day. I had a wonderful conversation with the owner and what a true gem she is. Owning this tea room is her passion and it shows in every detail. I would highly recommend anyone to come enjoy this charming tea room!”

“I Pho in Lake Mary is one of my go-to spots, especially when I’m not feeling well—their pho always hits the spot. The broth is flavorful and comforting, and it’s consistently good every time I come in. I also love their chicken clay pot—definitely worth trying. As someone with a gluten allergy, I appreciate places that are accommodating and make it easy to find options that work. Great food and a reliable go-to in the area.

“Our first visit too. Little Greek Fresh Grill was great. Not only was the food awesome but we met manager Will and he was just as great. It’s nice to eat in a testy aura t and fell at home with great customer service and fresh great food My wife and I both had beef souvlaki and we walked out full and satisfied. We will be back for sure!”
“I have tried this place a few times. The pizza is ok. There are a few specialty pizzas that are absolutely delicious. Everyone is very nice. But I just have a very hard time understanding how they can change so much money for pizza.
Pizza is better and. Cheaper in NY. Fix your prices and maybe you may get some more customers.
We had 4 people and they brought out 1 persons food 15 min before our pizza was ready. All food should come out the same time hot and fresh.”
“My daughter and I stopped in a few days ago. Wow. The shop is so cute with so many great gift ideas and inspiration. It was filled with the amazing aroma of a bakery. The cakes are out of this world delicious. And sizes for everyone. From small to large to individual. Ready to go! So glad we found it. This is a must have on your desert menu for every occasion. 10 stars! Chris Berthelson Winter Garden.”
“Huge rave!!!! I just got home from dinner and have never been more pleased. I have Celiac Disease and a wheat allergy. My server, Sydney C., was knowledgeable about the GF options and even double checked with her manager. She even brought up cross contamination before I did and assured me it would not be an issue. I was actually able to enjoy a meal with my family at a restaurant, which is not something I have been able to do in a long time. Thank you so much for being so accommodating. We will definitely be coming back.”
“Thirsty Whale is amazing! Best drinks and bartenders in Lake Mary! Shannon and David took amazing care of us every time we come in! This bar is an EVERYONE WELCONE kind of bar. I highly recommend stopping in! Dont listen to the nasty review by the disgruntled previous customer who got kicked out for good reasons. All the bartenders are amazing and take care of everyone ❤️ This bar is awesome and have a great selection of drinks and shots! ?”
“Absolutely amazing. The customer service at the Lake Mary location was so great. Last week we wanted pizza and someone recommended Filomena’s to me so I ordered online. When I ordered it told me it would be delivered within an hour which was perfect. A few moments later I got a text message saying it was going to be 2 hours. Because of this I called to cancel and spoke with Justine. She was great and canceled the order for me. About 20 minutes later she called back to let me know that they deliver in house vs using DoorDash when using the website and that next time we should call to order to skip the third party. The fact that she called me back to tell me this is such great customer service. She needs to be given all the praise or a raise 👀🤣. Fast forward to tonight when I called to place a deliver order, she remembered me and was so great again. Even called the manager to see if they would deliver a little farther out of their radius. I seriously could not recommend you guys enough.”
“Nothing..got a Pizza from them last night that was missing the mushrooms and black olives..pizza was dry and hard. Their only fix was a 30 day credit. I don’t even order pizza once a month. And they told me they’d be eating steak and lobster without my business. How’s that for a good business manager? They want to put themselves out of business”

“We dined at Shulas and it was absolutely phenomenal!! The drinks were delicious and the food was great! Andrea was so attentive and so sweet. Thank you for the amazing experience Andrea!”
Cheap Eats
“They charge the listing price for the boba drinks only if you order them with ice. When we started to order them without ice, they started to charge us extra. We did pay extra, but tonight, we went and ordered the same thing, as we always do, we pay the extra without ice, but now the drinks are laced with water and they taste like nothing. Horrible horrible business model. Don't let yourself be tricked. I'm giving it 2 stars because the original recipe was excellent.”
“Normally have a great experience here, everyone is very kind and have great attitudes however today at my curbside pick up, I had someone miserable an older lady with curly hair back and glasses. what a nasty attitude. if I didn’t live in the area, I wouldn’t return . if you’re miserable at your job, quit!”
“This place and employees were fantastic! They really made our terrible day better. We accidentally left our leftovers in the store and the kid working searched the entire parking lot for us! Thank you menchies for the sweet treat at the end of our exhausting day.”
“I went to CSC tonight after seeing multiple posts on TikTok. I am completely blown away. First off, the sweet drive thru young man had issues with his headset and he was so apologetic and kind. Then the flavor I ordered was out and they had to make more. Everyone was so kind and nice and overly apologetic. Customer service was amazing!
But then…the food! It was worth the wait. I had Fancy Nancy and Sassy Scotty with grape and broccoli salad. Honestly, this is the best chicken salad I have ever had. Everything was so fresh and so delicious. I will definitely be back!”
“From the moment I walked in, I was greeted like I was a regular—even though my indecisive self stood there staring at the menu for a solid 5 minutes. The staff was incredibly friendly, patient, and somehow still smiling while I debated fruit combinations like it was a life-altering decision.
Let’s talk cleanliness… SPOTLESS, especially the restroom. I’m pretty sure you could eat off the floor—but don’t, because the smoothies are way better. Everything looked fresh, organized, and cared for, which honestly makes the whole experience even more refreshing (pun intended).
And the smoothie? Absolute perfection. Tasted like vacation in a cup.
10/10 recommend. I came for a smoothie, left with a mood boost and a new favorite spot. Will definitely be back… probably tomorrow.”
“Just wonderful. The Christmas buffet was amazing. So much to offer. Something for everyone. The servers and omelet station people were so friendly and accommodating. Making sure we were very well taken care of. Great job.”
“Great renovations at the Ruth Chris at Lake Mary. Reserved a table for my daughter 's 25th birthday and was decorated. Sophie took amazing care of us, able to gave suggestions for the wine and entrees. We ordered the 40 Oz porterhouse and was perfect!. David, the manage came twice to check on us. We will be back!”
“Food is fantastic. It’s a small place so you may have to wait for a little while, but I promise It’s worth the wait.”
“Muy Buen ambiente. La Musica en vivo esta buenisimas todas las meseras muy amable la comida 100% riquisa”
“Ordered from Uber eats, the portion size of the fries was great, and I very much enjoyed both my Ranch dry and the Cajun rub. The fry sauce was definitely the highlight. Reasoning for not getting 5 stars is the actual ranch sauce was very weak and unflavorful and while the garlic Parm sauce was very good, it was WAY too salty. Over all, I will definitely be getting more food from here to try some of the other varieties offered.”
