12 Best American Restaurants in Lakewood Ranch

“Celebrated our wedding anniversary at Libby’s and this was the first time for my wife. We found the LWR location to be convenient, great atmosphere, with a broad menu! Portions were bordering on excessive! But we powered through some absolutely delicious food! The staff ensured we were well taken care! Carlos especially was outstanding and made sure we had a memorable and tasty anniversary dinner! She ordered the orange chicken I had the brisket burger with truffle fries You can be sure We’ll be back! Soon!! Thank you Libby’s and staff for a great evening!“

“We hosted a group of 20+ high school senior football players for dinner last night at The Lodge and everything was exceptional. From working with Gabriella on the event, to Chris handling the food and beverage pre-orders, Alexis was amazing with our group. Super flexible and easy going as a server with our guests at this function. The food was OUTSTANDING! In fact, we ordered two more rounds of appetizers throughout the night - even after entrees were coming out because the boys liked them so much - thank you to Adam & Co. for continually delivering food to this hungry crowd. One mom texted this morning saying her son said it was the best food he ever had.

Separate from last evening, The Lodge always has incredible customer service with long term staff, which is always a good sign. From Matt the Food & Beverage Director, Victor - server extraordinaire ( and practically part of our family), and Adam who is always on shift when we decide to go to the Lodge and greets us with a smile and great service. This great team along with all those that made last night a huge success are truly outstanding. Thank you.“

“Heather, at the River Club Grill & Bar, served us the best buffalo wings this side of buffalo! They are really the best, in Sarasota/Bradenton! Meaty, saucy, and cooked perfectly! Do not change a thing 😊 The beef nachos were delicious too! Great service and affordable eats. Can't wait for our next visit!“

“Great location to grab a few drinks and a bite to eat! We went on a Thursday evening and really enjoyed the atmosphere with live music, a fire going outside, and a fun space for kids to play. It made for a really relaxing and family-friendly environment where everyone could enjoy themselves. They have a smaller food selection, but what we ordered was good and paired well with the overall experience. Definitely a nice spot to hang out for the evening.“

“Food was great,but...The napkins were the worst smelling napkins I've ever come across,they literally smelled like a hospital gown“

“I live in Lakewood Ranch and for some reason most of the restaurants on Main Street do not appeal to me. My husband and I tried Remy's out last week and OH MY!!!! Excellent food and reasonable pricing. I am a picky eater and there are so many choices, and I truly expected the food to be average and to my Suprise the food is EXCELLENT. I highly recommend this if you have not tried it would be a great choice to do so. GREAT JOB!!!! That was Sunday and I have already gone back for seconds - It's Wednesday. Will be a new regular spot for lunch or dinner.“

“I made a reservation for four for prime rib. After ordering the staff said all gone. Normally this place honors its reservations but not tonight The manager came over and was smiling at us. Bad service and poor management. Be careful what you wish for.“

“Another great experience today. Courteous staff especially our server didnt get his name but said was from ky. Food arrived fast and hot. I try to stop there whenever in tampa area. Nice to get the same good food like the in in alexandria .“

“Best breakfast lunch anywhere. People are great food excellent homemade. If you have not been you are missing out.“

“Outstanding. First time customer. Fabulous across the board. I’ll be back. Again .... outstanding.“

“Thank you, Grove, for a wonderful breakfast celebrating our friend! You graciously accommodated about 28 of us for an early Sunday morning brunch, and we truly appreciated the extra touches you provided for our group. The food was delicious, and Danielle did a fabulous job taking care of us and supporting her co-workers. Jennifer, the manager was very helpful! :)“
