“Visited many times, the food is delicious and the restaurant decor is beautiful and my husband and I enjoy eating there. The restaurant is very clean and we enjoyed the Bollywood music. We were there last week again and our waiter Kiran was amazing, he checked to ensure that everything was ok. Will definitely try to have him serve us again.”

“My first try at korean food, I had several tries but this is the first time I actually had actual korean food. I got the bul Bob but I ate it so fast without taking a picture. Listen this stuff was so good I wanted to buy other people this stuff so they too could have their eyes open to this place.”
“The best we have ever had!!!! The gelato is equivalent or better than any gelato we have had in Italy, Switzerland, or Germany. We would share our favorite flavor, but that changes every time we go, as the owner only uses the freshest seasonal ingredients. Let's just say we can't find a flavor we don't like. Today a shout out for the grapefruit, amaretto, biscotti, cannoli, coffee, and chocolate gelato. My husband is the biggest coffee snob I know. He spends hours weekly ordering the best beans, roasting them, and pulling shots of espresso. It is rare that we go out for coffee and we can say the coffee is good. This owner knows how to pull a good shot of espresso!”

“I have visited Tropical Delight twice and each experience was essentially a “delight”. • Delightful customer service • Delightful ambiance • Delightful clean appearance • Delightful and tasty food – most important for me! My first experience was amazing! I had the incorrect closing time and although at closing the staff welcomed me in. I was able to order my food and received extra portions. Great first visit led to my second visit. Tropical Delight is worth the visit for both the food and ambiance! Looking forward to my third and subsequent visits. I plan to be a regular!”
“My girlfriend and I love visiting different coffee shops and this one is by far our favorite. Great atmosphere, everyone is so welcoming and friendly, they use quality ingredients and our coffees are always perfect!!! If you aren’t going to Alkimia, you are missing out!!!!”
“My wife and I just went there for Valentines Day 2023, this being our second time. Ordered two Chardonnays, very good wine, I need the name :). I had Mussels in Fra Diavalo sauce that was excellent. Kim had Alfredo with chicken which she said was very good. We both had salads as sides, mine with one of the best Blue Cheese dressings I have ever had in a restaurant! My wife had Ranch and said it was delicious. We topped off the evening by splitting a Tiramisu that was wonderful! Most certainly going back again!!”

“My first time at a Mission BBQ and it was outstanding! This is a great place that treats veterans and first responders like family. I’ve never felt so welcomed in a restaurant before. The staff is amazing from the manager down to the servers. Everyone was attentive polite and respectful. The service was fast and accurate and the food is excellent! You should try it and you’ll see what I mean. BBQ at its best and reasonably priced for the caliber of food you get. Their mission is to honor and serve those who have served our country along with first responders. They do an excellent job and I for one will be supporting them wherever I see a Mission BBQ.”
“Went last night for the first time but absolutely will not be the last. I had scallops and they were great! My husband had fish and it was cooked perfectly!! Another lady had the shrimp and she gave me one to try. As good or better than any you get on the coast. You will not be disappointed if you want good food at reasonable prices!!!”

“Honestly i used to love subway as a kid, i stopped going here for a long time though. Tried it out the other day for breakfast and was pleasantly suprised. The food tasted food, it was a large portion for the money and the lady and dude that work there where super nice.”
“We tried a Waffle House in Valdosta Georgia and had an excellent breakfast and service was above and beyond great. We decided to try this Waffle House went inside and sat at a table for at least 10 minutes and no waitress even acknowledged us. There were no other patrons seated at the time. Needless to say we got up and left. Really a shame! There were at least 5 people behind the counter too.”
“Okay subway has redeemed itself!!!!
Roosevelt made my veggie salad and dang he had me so hungry watching him make it.
Oscala Subway workers hands down are the best yet.
Kind, and do their best giving individual attention to each customer and our foods detail.
My daughter's personal pizza beautiful
Thank you subway, I admit I was soooo hurt after my past experiences, but these beautiful people make up for the nasty ones!
Roosevelt deserves a raise seriously amazing gentleman.”

“We just had the most delicious lunch at Cristina’s! The cheesesteak and pastrami subs were the best we have ever had! We have looked for a good deli since we moved here 5 years ago and we finally found it! The atmosphere and people make you feel like you’re eating with your family and friends!”
“We ate yesterday at the Pony and as loud and crowded as it was. They were so efficient. The best part for sure was our server! Jonathan was tremendous. He knew how to serve people even as crowded as it was. So kudos to him! He made our meal.”
“Our server, Hannah in Ocala, was amazing! Delicious food and a wonderful atmosphere. We had the parmesan crusted trout, and it was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend the bang bang shrimp appetizer as well!”

“gluten free, vegan, and soy free options abound! I and several of my friends and family drive an hour from Gainesville to visit this bakery. so far, every single item purchased has been absolutely comparable to top notch regular baked goods and pastries. The Basque Cheesecake- Divine.”
“Trunk or Treating in the right place. My daughter and I saw many people with pizza boxes and decided to give it a chance. Grateful we did stumble upon Sammys. Top notch customer service with outstanding pizza! so hard to find a pizza sauce that isn't to much this or that. look forward to returning soon ❤️”
“Nancy has been feeding my family for YEARS. Easily over a decade. We’ve constantly come back for several reasons, one of them being the consistency in the quality of the food. Nancy is always quick to deliver a hot delicious meal no matter what! Her ingredients are always fresh, and prepared correctly. I’ve seen Nancy handle that kitchen with a full dining room with ease, always taking the time to check on her customers, and thanking them. Our favorites are the ham and cheese omelette, and her French toast! Please don’t hesitate to try her fresh desserts too!”
“The chicken picata was absolutely delicious and the service was excellent! I enjoyed a very healthy meal! Thank you! :)”

“Dinner tonight was fabulous. They didn’t have mozzarella sticks so that was a little disappointing but the quality of everything they did have made up for it. From the bread all the way to the pasta, everything was fresh and tasty and so filling! We had to take half of all of our meals home. This location really is top notch.”

“I cannot say enough good things about Cafe Havana! Most importantly, the food was AMAZING! The service was quick, friendly, helpful and the café is quaint, clean and an all-around wonderful dining experience. It was so good, I ordered another meal to take home to my husband❣️”
“My first time here. It was sooo good. Since moving to the area four years ago I’ve been looking for good Mexican food. This is the spot. I had the mega burrito with carnitas and my wife had the same but with carne asada. Both were so good and BIG. In hind sight we could have split one. Reasonable prices and great food. So worth it. Looking forward to my next visit.”
“Huge shout out to Jay and his crew! Labella's catered our Mother's going home celebration and let me tell you they did a fantastic job!

All the different pizza rolls were out of this world, I strongly suggest the one with spinach and ricotta, mama mia delicious! Jay, Thank you so much from the bottom of my (our) heart(s)! I (we) really appreciate you for going over and beyond. You & your crew made our celebration even happier! Delicious food, great people and memories to last a lifetime!

“my husband and I are celebrating our 36th anniversary. We have been wanting prime rib and found that on Mondays, They have two prime rib dinners for $40. Chrissy the server was very attentive and blessed us with a piece of key lime pie. Thank you! we appreciated the extra attention!The food was good and came out in a timely manner. The back of the restaurant could use some re-decorating.”
“We have tried the Cody’s in Ocala 4 times. I must say not interested in going back. The service stinks, the last time, we sat at the booth no one came over . People sat down after us, waited on order put in. Still no one lots of servers walking around doing nothing but talking. I finally had to stop someone and ask , found out our table did not have a server. Still no excuse, not one server stopped and inquired just walked right by us. They need better training. Sad thing is I love Cody’s food. The place is beautiful,owner seems nice.”
“Went on Saturday evening at 6. They were very busy but we were seated quickly. Our server April was great. It was a little too noisy but overall a good experience. I had the elk medallions with fingerling potatoes and green beans. Delish.”
“Fantastic little bar with pool tables and darts. Bartender was super helpful finding us the cigars we were looking for. She was super friendly and totally laid-back very inviting. Great music and chill vibes.”

“Open everyday even when Google says closed.good grandma cooked meat and side. Definitely spread the word because elders ain't hip to technology. Cash only and even dollar amount”
“up until yesterday September the 20th I would have recommended everything! after the horrible meal we picked up and took home I would not recommend Red lobster to anyone! we took home a spoiled smelly mushroom seafood appetizer plus two meals and biscuits and so forth. the seafood mushroom appetizer was rancid how they would put it out I have no idea and of course no one answers the phone to help me”
““Diane, George, Freddy...What an Outstanding team!” johnfjohnston The Villages, Florida Diane, George, Freddy...What an Outstanding team! Diane was the enthusiastic voice on the phone when making reservations for six for the Sunday brunch. She was the delightfully welcoming hostess when the party arrived. George, as other reviews have attested, was flawless: engaging, attentive, approaching his tasks as a performing art...terrific! Freddy Lopez, the manager, took great pride in the staff and offerings from the kitchen. He described changes soon to be made. The name will be something like "Marketplace Kitchen and Bar", an unfortunate image of an older shopper with shopping bags full of groceries sitting nursing a beer at the bar. Food was very good, although NOTHING except the salad dressings had labels. Individuals will allergies would need ask or simply avoid any item which was not entirely identifiable. Indeed a hotel pan of Creole fish could not be identified by two members on the line. It was Mr. Lopez who solved the mystery.”
“This place is what you call finding a diamond in the rough. The place may be not that great look at. But the girls make it worth it. You should definitely come see for yourself.”
“These are the nastiest wings I ever had in my life, I ordered a 16 piece lemon pepper hot wing and they sent one order of bland hot wings with curly frys and a order of no flavor tasteless wings with cury frys I did not know chicken could be so bland and nasty. we didn't even eat them they're just sitting there, we did not even have dinner because it was so bad.”
“I like Applebee's but my dish tonight was a disappointment. I had the Chicken Parm on Fettuccine. The portion was very large, a great bargain for the price (we had the $25 special). Unfortunately, for the size of the chicken breast there was not near enough tomato sauce, maybe a tablespoon or so where my chicken was almost as big as the bowl. There was also a very large portion of Fettuccine. But it was hard to know any sauce was on it either. If I had to guess, I'd say the noodles were tossed in the sauce much earlier and then just sat in a warming pan. But they do have a great house salad, it's not just lettuce, you actually know there are other things in it. Our server, Dave, was attentive and friendly. He said he'd only been there about a week but he did a great job!!”

“We went on Thanksgiving and it was super busy. The line was literally out the door and around the building. Despite that, once we got our table, everything moved quickly and seamlessly. Not one time did we go to get something we wanted and it be out. Everything was well stocked and fresh and the employees seemed to be happy to be there. As always another great visit”
“Always the best in fast food and service. We go there often. Other restaurants should require their staffs to get Chic fil a training. Nothing compares to it. I would go there for the service even if the food wasn't good. The attitude of the servers is just outstanding.”
