“First time visit to Jaxx. Excellent food; great service. We will definitely come back.“

“Had a party of eleven. Put in a request for a table to accommodate and when we got there it was ready. Great variety to choose from on the menu...everyone enjoyed their meal. Server Lindsey was fantastic, she kept our refills without having to ask and was extremely pleasant.“

“Raffurty's is a great neighborhood spot! The servers are always pleasant and on the ball. The drinks are generous and not watered down. The owner does a lot for the community. They do college and national sports, trivia, karaoke, Happy Hours and occasional over 50 Happy Hours. Kid friendly too. Well behaved pets love it too! Shaded, open air upper deck to enjoy cocktails and food. Sarasota's official Philadelphia Eagle's Nest too! Nice clean place, good vibes and good food! In an area of corporate type places, Raffurty's stands out as a friendly, local Sarasota spot you should check out and patronize! 👍“

“Came here at the recommendation of some locals, as to the best places to watch the Buffalo Bill game. We were happy to see a large group of Bills fans, and food menu with many WNY favorites. Buffalo shrimp, Buffalo chicken dip & chips, beef on weck, and of course chicken wings, to name a few. One of each to share was the plan for each quarter, along with lots of beers. Solid plan, right? “Sorry, we ran out of wings” was the response from our server, when we tried to order just after the 1st quarter ended.😱🤯 Loved everything about this place, but seriously, how in the world does a Bills backer bar run out of chicken wings at the start of a Bills game?“

“Food is great. Got fish and fires and was blown away with how good it was. Fresh and seasoned to perfection. The drinks are heavy and service can’t be matched. Truly a good time. 10/10“

“So I popped into scullers, utc sarasota this early evening, which I been a customer for a while with no issues only with this bartender Casey said, to me this evening, I am not serving you, and I said are you joking and whats the reason and she said no I dont need a reason and told me to leave., so here a little back story with Casey, which she done with other customers, she accused me of walking out on a one beer tab...which was my first time meeting here.. she accused me of theft, in front of a bar full of customers, which she new was false, because I heard Casey as done this to other customers. Sent email to linksters managnment with no reply back. Second incident about a few months ago she approached me and said you can not smoke your cigar during trivia night that they have every Wednesday, Casey said customers complained about the smoke. So I sat outside far side and customers who knew me from that night asking me why your all the way over there smoking and I said Casey banned me from smoking..I wrote an email to linkstersManagnment and no reply back. Casey as some issues.. never had issues with no other bartender besides Casey which she created and she makes drama were there not need to be.... Not serving me this evening with out no reason is crazy, is Casey bar its Scullers bar.. im just confused on how she can treat customers like this and she allowed to behave in this manner, Casey is so unprofessional on how she treated me and other customers.“

“i love it ..safe place clean and very friendly people .. 😇😇😇“

“We love this Applebees location!
Georgia was awesome too! Very nice and attentive, gave us great suggestions. We came around to 9pm so we got Half priced apps We got the spinach & artichoke dip, boneless wings with garlic Parmesan sauce and the chicken quesadilla, and the cinnamon bites for dessert (our favorite)“

“Would love to try other foods. I was excited to find another establishment to serve gluten free items. But the burger had no flavor and was dry. I don't know if they thought since I was gluten free that I couldn't have sodium or why there was no flavor. Generally beef has flavor on its own when cooked medium rare. It was cooked to what I would consider medium well. But with the service and atmosphere I would be willing to try something different.“

“Had an amazing lunch at the Dunwoody location! Keke our bartender/server was Great! Amazing personality and helped me with my undecided decisions lol! We’ll definitely be back!“

“Leidy , Jessica, Kelly, Meghan were fabulous. Last year we brought 53 kids to eat dinner at the restaurant and they were so accommodating. So this year we came back with our school group and once again they were fantastic. They were totally accommodating to the teachers and to 41 middle school students! We can’t wait to come back next year in our trip to North Florida! Who goes to the staff and especially the managers of Applebee’s on Fruitville in Sarasota, Florida?“

“excellent food, huge portions. the samosas are really good with the chick peas. tasty food, cozy establishment. It didn't hurt any that our server was hotter than the fresh food! 🫣😏 10/10 recommend and will definitely be back.“

“What great service. I took an elderly lady & the server had patience w the ordering. I also had to leave at a certain time for an appointment. They accommodated wait go box early & also the bill taken care of do we could leave at our convenience & be on time. Thank you“

“Went there with a party of 28 people sat night they accommodated us within 45 minutes! Our Server Joe was exceptional extremely accommodating professional and extremely quick! His manager a female and I am sorry I can't remember her name was also out of this world accommodating professional and extremely kind! I just want ti thank both of you for a wonderful evening and we will definitely be back!!! Thanks Bacon“

“Just had a delicious lunch at Geckos on SR 64! Food was delicious, service (Alexis Stamper) and watching the manager (or whichever position he holds) Scott. I watched him speaking to patrons, helping servers etc. He was all over the dining room participating. Great job, y'all!“

Adam took care of them nonstop with Shirley Temples while we enjoyed Happy Hour adult beverages at amazing deals. Great ambiance, outdoor Florida breeze, a ton of tv’s for games, terrific drinks and outstanding service. GREAT, GREAT PLACE!!“

“First place we stopped on our trip was a gem! Amazing food, wonderful service! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Super cozy, local little pub. I live nearby so brought my boyfriend for a leg of his Valentines Day scavenger hunt to play darts (they have 2 dart boards) & we couldn’t because they have busy dart nights. Call ahead if you have your heart set on darts. So we sat and drank an expensive Guinness! Guess that’s just the going rate these days? Very cozy place, nothing fancy, great little hole in the wall neighborhood pub.“

“My sister came to visit, she's an avid electronic dartboard player. so I went on line and found Coleman's Tavern has several dart machines, we went there for drinks and darts and met a lot of nice people. Coleman's is a nice little neighborhood bar with friendly people and good service. if I lived closer I would frequent there often.“

“You can’t have a better rare burger and service with a smile anywhere in world. Take this opinion to the bank.“

“great staff, friendly patrons and a fun atmosphere!“

“Well it finally happened to me,
(Again lol) at Applebees, Stacey and I went for some $.50 boneless wings,(MMMMM) we ordered 10 each and split a fry,
The bill was $40. Plus $, I went back to my email ( I used to love Applebees, still like), anyway the 10 wings were to be $5, it was 13.99 x 2 now add a fry and 1 soft drink, what should have been around $20, the killer was our server saw my email when we were ordering and never said that price for online ordering and pick up. I think I really should have spoke up but once I found the fine print, I just said for get it and it was over &50 with the tip.
Dear Applebees we used to come at least twice a month for years for $6.99 burger Monday right around the corner from our house, the little things are what customers like and remember,
if I’d known I would have had a much nice meal for the same money, instead of the wings for almost 3 x the price I read. Come on big companies.
Note!
Fact; Sometimes you want to go

Where everybody knows your name,
and they're always glad you came.
You wanna be where you can see,
our troubles are all the same
You wanna be where everybody knows Your name.
Cheers,
people if you think I’m responsible, please tell me if you agree tell them.“

“We go there both Tue and Wed happy hours and have the specials on the menu.. The food is normally good and inexpensive but this last Wed the wings were over cooked to a point you couldn'eat them. I complained to the bartender who was new (no uniform) who didn't seem interested. But that being said, Ed's is a great place although crowded at times.“

“Jay, was super nice & informative about my rewards & order. I had a great experience thanks to her. The work crew were incredibly friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect with my order. It’s always nice to see someone who genuinely cares about customers. I’ll definitely be coming back to this location :)“

“I highly recommend this beef o'bradys, i have been to many locations and this place has some of the largest wings and the absolute best customer service. The bartender shayna was the best at pouring and mixing my drinks. Highly recommend!“

“Very clean and something to do for everyone! Amazing atmosphere and the pizza was awesome! My 3 year old enjoyed it very much as well as me and my husband, we will definitely will be back! overall we were NOT disappointed ❤️“

“I can’t thank event coordinator Colleen enough for helping me organize our baseball team’s party! We had an amazing time today, it couldn’t have gone any better!! Our waitress Bo was also absolutely amazing!“

“Fabulous food...best in the village! Fabulous service and location...can't say enough! 5 out of 5 stars..Beau our server rocked!!!“

“Amanda is absolutely amazing!! Always have a great time when she’s our server“

“Excellent service and food! My fav are their Chicken tenders w Honey mustard!“

“Food and service are always consistently good. Never a bad visit.“

“Excellent quick food for my fam down the road at the doubletree. Done on time, nice and fresh. Wings were not over sauced, which just kills me. Good options for the kiddo and wife. Good sized wings and friendly people. My bar isn’t super high when I’m on vacay, but this place hits the mark. Great place to snag in house or Togo if you’re in the area!“

“Great food and atmosphere ! Love watching football there on the weekend !“

“Nice bar and good service. Perfect for the guys while the girls go shopping. Nice range of beers and reasonable prices. Only fault was the very loud shouting from a group at the far end of the bar who used profanities for every other word.Ample parking available.“
