“A few days after Christmas during holiday break me and my husband wanted to take the kids out to eat. We don’t usually do this because my son has autism gets laughing seizures in crowds tries to get naked everywhere we go and sometimes has episodes where he pretty much just wants to hit everyone around him and himself. It’s just extremely hard. We went to Buffalo wild wings first just to feel it out and see if it was possible it wasn’t the people weren’t accommodating looked at us weird when we tried to explain and we just left. We stopped by Chili’s to try Sam the manager was extremely helpful and considerate she hesitate to try and help my server was also awesome everyone there was so nice. I feel like we have a safe place to go now thanks. They found us a table that was perfect for us and we for once didn’t feel like a bother. It was pretty great. Merry Christmas and happy New Year’s this spot is GREAT 👍🏼“

“I have to say, the service alone is worth going to this location. The food is amazing, but when the team races to open the door for your family, they are something special. Well done!“

“To start, this was the best Moe’s experience I’ve had in a *long* time thanks to Dalton and Andrea. I could actually say it’s the only good experience I’ve had in a long time.

My brother and I went to get burritos Sunday evening an hour before close and I was expecting to be disappointed as I usually am. The past 7-8 times I’ve come here, they’ve been out of either chicken or steak, and usually multiple toppings. And that’s a problem as I come to Moe’s for loaded Homewreckers (something you can’t get at chipotle, etc.) and get chicken + steak and almost all the toppings added.

I almost walked out when I saw they were out of steak, but Dalton was welcoming and Andrea apologized for being sold out of items. So I stayed and I’m very happy I did. Dalton rolled the fullest, tightest Homewrecker I’ve had in YEARS and Andrea made sure we had plenty of salsa (even though it was in the back).

While the service was AMAZING and the workers should be commended for recouping my business, it’s very apparent that the owner of this franchise location couldn’t care less about the atmosphere and making sure the store is fully staffed. The walls show where old art pieces used to hang and the tables and store seems to be in a state of decay. On top of it seeming like they only ever had 2-3 employees working, when they used to have 5-6 people during its heyday. This makes more work for less employees and results in the issues I listed before: sold out/not prepared toppings and ingredients.

I’d suspect these issues have something to do with the franchise owner, Anthony Friel, and his attitude towards paying employees. In 2023 he didn’t pay Moe’s employees for several weeks because he “had problems with his bank” and was upset when employees closed the stores. Sorry, but I agree with the workers. You don’t pay workers, they don’t have to work for you. That’s literally the agreement and the ONLY reason people go to work… very obviously an internal culture issue and not one due to poor talent or the products Moe’s corporation markets. And I know it’s Friel, because every Moe’s outside of central FL is DANK and always packed with business. This location is a ghost town comparatively.

5 stars for service, 3 for food (taste is good, availability is NOT), and 3 for atmosphere.“

“The food is really really good. My family loves it. No matter what we get everything has been delicious. If you do not feel like cooking the take out family meals definitely hit the spot. I have done this several times and it give you plenty for your family.“
