“I always have a great experience at Culver’s! The customer service is consistently friendly, fast, and efficient. The staff always makes the visit enjoyable, and this time Tanner stood out by being especially pleasant, attentive, and welcoming. He made sure everything was right and provided excellent service from start to finish. It’s always a pleasure coming here, and I’ll definitely keep coming back!“

“Farm to table doesn’t even cover how good and fresh this restaurant is! Everything from scratch which is unheard of nowadays. Great menu and drinks menu. Love the creole shrimp pasta and the #711. Amazing! Our server was great. Duke did a great job of explaining each dish and the why behind everything he recommended.“

“On my good days
I come here to see the lake,
dressed in diamonds from the sun, these glittering jewels that shine and refract light upon light into my world-weary heart

telling me that you too can shine.
telling me-go forth now
Even into the mundane.
Go forth. And seek beauty.“

“Huge shoutout to Bree at Beef 'O' Brady's in Wilderness Lakes! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

She always takes amazing care of us and somehow manages to go above and beyond every single time. Friendly, fast, funny, and keeps us coming back. We like to call her a little “cheddar” because she’s the extra cheese that makes the whole experience better… but honestly she might be more of a gouda, mozzarella, and parmesan combo all in one 😂🧀
Give this girl an A+ because she absolutely deserves it!“

“The absolute best pizza In tampa and in the whole state of Florida. . If you’re looking for a NY style pizza with extra garlic pizzazz this is defiantly your place. Hailey the bartender is super amazing. Carla the manager is on point and one of the best managers around. You need to go to bubbas if you want good anything in the tampa Bay Area.“

“Every time I have dinner at Sacred Pepper, I try something new and never have I been disappointed. This time I tried the Pistachio Crusted Fried Brie with cranberry chutney, balsamic reduction and d toasted parmesan crostini and it was amazingly delicious and also a shareable plate. For dinner I had the Oak Grilled Norwegian Salmon with heirloom tomato salad, white wine butter sauce, and house-made orzo pasta with a side of the Caramelized Brussels Sprouts with Applewood bacon and a balsamic glaze. It was all excellent and very flavorful just as everything else has been in my 4 visits here. It's hard to even pick a favorite! Besides the great selection of shareable plates, entrees, sides, and drinks, the decor and ambience are stunning. Then add to that, my server Adam was exceptional, and he was very attentive, polite, respectful, courteous, patient, and he genuinely made me feel so welcomed and valued. He has made so many wonderful recommendations to me over my visits and has even gotten me to try many new things that have all been excellent.“

“Today we visited the Happy Hangar cafe for the first time. I have an aviation loving 10 year old and I can say we will definitely be returning. We were seated promptly, the food came out fast and hot and the customer service was absolutely outstanding. What a unique and fun little cafe.“

“Dana was our order taker and was very nice and very pleasant. This restaurant was a lot better than the last Culver’s we went to, and the workers were a lot more considerate. The last Culver’s we went to was a 30 minute wait for food, whereas, this place was less than five minutes! Overall, I love this Culver’s better than any other one I have been to. The only downside is the location is not very interstate/highway friendly and you must take a lot of roads to get there.“

“Definitely got great burgers I can guarantee you that the Leonard Burger was really good even though the Music was loud and it took so long for the food to come out still have good food and dessert just super good“

“The food and atmosphere at this Keke's is always great and keeps us coming back. Today we were fortunate to have Maria Isabel as our waitress and she was exceptional. A great way to start the day🌅“

“Excellent lunch, service fromRaven, atmosphere! Started with tasty mozzarella sticks. Loved the fried green tomato BLT on toasted sourdough bread. Husband loved the grouper sandwich and fries. Other 2 meals were reportedly Excellent: tacos and chicken wrap. Didn't think to take pictures when first served, so forgive the partly eaten food, especially the awesome carrot cake we asked for warmed up.“

“GOTTA say, I am pleased and happy. The food is better than almost every fast food chain available in this area. The staff is wonderful! I feel like I stepped back to 1970s where customer service and satisfaction is a priority. The burgers are good, made fresh with care. You can tell a huge difference from other places. The custard is AMAZING. A new special home made flavor ever week. The butter pecan is still on my mind. I am now addicted to it and I don't care. The people there seem genuinely happy and it shows in the service and food. I'm looking forward to going back and trying something different. Thank you guys for helping me back to a better time.“

“Today, on this blessed Sunday at approximately 2:38 PM. I received one of the best double Culver’s deluxe value basket, I’ve ever had! Everything was fresh and tasty. This is one of the besttttt burger I’ve ever had. I’m not sure who made it but blessing to you sir or ma’am! I’m happy girllll 😂“

“I always enjoy stopping at this particular Cheddars when I’m traveling. The service and food are excellent. The food always comes out hot which is not the norm these days at restaurants. I always enjoy the steaks as they are tender and cooked the way i like them.
You always start off the meal with FREE warm croissants covered in a buttery honey sauce. The service has been excellent every time we
stop by. Good choice of vegetables also. The cheesy broccoli rice casserole is a favorite for us.“

“In Tampa to see my son and he knows I love authentic German food and he suggested Mr. Dunderbak's. I was very impressed. I lived in Germany for 12 years and have eaten at many German Gasthauses and have eaten at many German restaurants in the United States; none have been as good as Mr. Dunderbak's. The veal Jagerschitzel was a perfect as it can get. The potato pancakes with apple sauce was a great side. I loved all the other additional items in the restaurant; the German candy and deli were wonderful. To top off the the evening the authentic accordian music by Accordian Joe brought me back to my childhood. Authentic German songs that my father and Grandfather used to sing. I had a great evening at Mr. Dunderbak's. Thank-you.“

“What an experience! It was our 18th wedding anniversary and we decided on GrillSmith. I had been craving a great ribeye and I was very much looking forward to a great meal. We arrived with our two children and waited a moment or two at the host stand. We were greeted by a server named Kaylyn. She saw us waiting and immediately offered to help. She was very friendly and courteous and we asked for her to be our server. We were quickly seated and the experience just got better as the night went on. The bartender, Juan, brought our bottle of wine to the able and served it. He was a great pleasure to speak with. We all had steaks that were cooked perfectly. My ribeye was exactly what I had been craving! Charred on the outside and a perfect medium rare center. Kaylyn (I hope I'm spelling that correctly) was absolutely spectacular! She exceeded our needs and expectations and will be our requested server moving forward. When we asked to speak with the manager to share our experience, Allison came to the table. She too was very kind and we were all too happy to tell her how much we enjoyed everything and appreciated the hospitality. Thank you for a spectacular experience and we look forward to returning soon!“

“My mom and I went to Fresh Kitchen and told them and it was our first experience and we were treated spectacularly! We tried almost all of their food to perfect our bowls and the staff (especially Xavier) were so kind and accommodating to us. 10/10 recommend!“

“Just left from a delicious breakfast with my Aunt & Uncle, I'm visiting from NY, let's say you can't leave there hungry. Coffee is good also.“

“Was soo very good!! will miss this yummy place! daughter an I lil time together before I flew out next day,,wish I didn’t have to fly back to okla.“

“My fiancée and I recently visited Burger 21 in Tampa, and it was fantastic! From the moment we walked in, the staff greeted us with warm smiles and made us feel welcome. They were super helpful with menu suggestions and genuinely seemed passionate about their food. I ordered the Tex-Mex Haystack Burger, which was perfectly cooked and packed with flavor, while my fiancée loved the BBQ Bacon Burger. The fries were crispy and delicious. What really stood out was the exceptional service—attentive, friendly, and always making sure we were happy. It made our date feel extra special. Highly recommend checking out Burger 21 for great food and amazing hospitality!“

“Eggtown is a favorite of mine for several reasons. The service is excellent. The menu offers many choices and unique dishes The staff is friendly efficient and knowledgeable. The restaurant is spotless clean I strongly recommend Eggtown for breakfast or lunch!“

“The food at GPeppers "G-Peps" tops all coming from a scratch kitchen for sandwiches, soups, salads, and their amazing appetizers! There is a reason that this establishment has been around for 20 years! My husband and I have been going to G-Peps since we moved to Odessa in 2022. The staff is always been friendly and they became to realize that we were regulars, however, ever since some of the original staff left, it it has been different. We were always used to the girls running around, making sure that everyone was serviced and had what they needed. I can't even tell you how many times I ever walked in there before the original staff left and there wasn't my glass of wine or my husband's beer and my son's chocolate milk already there within five minutes of walking in the door. I don't just speak for our family, but many of the families in our neighborhood truly miss Sarah, Bailey, and Ashley. They will always hold a special place in our 💞!“

“Breakfast, lunch or dinner it's the best.“
