Said that's how they do take out. I've been going to 4 Rivers for years. Was ordering for six people over $100. Told him I'll find some place else to order from. Won't be back.“

“Yum, Yum, Yum! I was invited to lunch at Papa Diesel's Restaurant on my visit to Apopka, FL. From the moment I entered the restaurant, the entire experience was a treat. A friendly family atmosphere greeted me at the door, with the added touch of care that was immaculately given to every detail. The aroma from the kitchen activated my taste buds, as I stared mesmerized by the extensive menu. Finally, I decided to go for the “Diesel Sampler”. The brisket was so succulent that it melted in my mouth. The ribs fell from the bone with such flavor that no sauce was necessary—the pulled pork I used to sample the homemade sauces. As I was told, the sauces will soon be available in the local supermarkets (as I can attest to becoming a family staple). Needless to say, the sausage, chicken, and sides all met with the same flavorful standards. Ending my meal with a dessert, I enjoyed the peach cobbler and shared a nibble of key lime cake with my date. It was an enjoyable afternoon, sharing special time with loved ones in a loving environment, dining on food prepared by Papa Diesel, who loves to cook for folks, and making them feel at home!“

“If you are a real old school Floridian that grew up here, this place will take.you back! This was my first time visiting Keller's. I got the sliced beef dinner. I can tell you that was the exact plate of BBQ and sauce that I remember eating when I was young, before Sonnys changed and Fat Boys went under. Very nostalgic. The most enjoyable lunch that I have had in the last 20+ years quite honestly. Anytime im am anywhere near Keller's in the future, I will definitely be stopping by for a plate!“

“The food and drinks are fresh, the employees are very friendly and provide top service. We had a great lunch . The restaurant was clean and the waitress was so friendly and helpful. Our food came promptly and she checked back with us several times for drinks and asked if we needed anything. A manager came by our table to make sure we were taken care of and he was very friendly. We are very impressed with the way this LongHorn Steakhouse is managed and how as customers we are treated. Very nice!!“

Huge portions of food! If you leave hungry, it’ll be a miracle.
Background music can be a little too loud.
My steak had to be sent back because the cook accidentally drowned it in their delicious seasoning; you could only taste seasoning, no beef.
One of the managers, Julie was amazing. She too, made sure everything was good & actually listened to the customers.
Thank you! Will definitely come back!“
