AWESOME FOOD. Bread rolls are out of this world and the steak and salad are so good. Only locals seem to eat here, it’s a real gem for tourists who discover it.

This is one of my Top 3 places to eat. From the fresh deep fried Mushrooms, the fresh salad they make at the table to the the awesome meat selections. I really miss this place due to covid and hope it comes back up soon.

One of the best steaks I've had in my life; it was cooked to perfection and the Manny's steak sauce proved to be a savory compliment. The waitress was exceptional, and the atmosphere was great. Plus, they have excellent taste in license plates. We'll definitely eat here again when we return the area.

Boring food with very little seasoning. Ordered a cheeseburger and it had very little flavor. I could tell the fries were generic frozen fries and had very little salt and no flavor. The endless salad was drenched in dressing so we asked for another bowl of salad with dressing on the side. Overall just no flare or excitement. Nothing really to bring me back. Service was really slow too.

The food was so bland! The endless salad was drenched and dripping with ranch dressing that tasted like it came from a bottle. The rolls and cinnamon butter were the only enjoyable part of the meal. The burger and fries were both lacking any seasoning. The service was okay— slow but our server had a good personality.

We had such a rude waitress that we left before we had drinks. No one needs to be rushed in an empty restaurant, or have their server roll their eyes when they ask for a different dressing. I truly hope no one else receives the service we did, anywhere.

Don’t go here it’s the worst service I have ever received, the food was mediocre at best. The service was definitely the worst thing, I won’t be going back.

Our table of 4 was asked to move to a different section of the restaurant or leave. Simply because we were President Trump supporters. It was the most ridiculous and worst restaurant experience I've ever encountered. I would give it zero stars...but I have to give it 1 to post a review.

Asked a co-worker that travels to FLA for work a lot what he thought of Manny's. He said it was very good. Well, I disagree. In total transparency, I am in the business and a Chef. The best part of my dining experience tonight was the bartender/ server/busboy/hostess named Mandy. She's e was over the top committed to customer excellence, which I really appreciate. The 2nd best part of tonight's meal was Theresa, the manager on duty. Super engaging and really taking the time to understand the customers thoughts relating to their experience. Theresa and I spoke about the condition of the celery that came out with the wings (not very appealing) but the wings were amazing given they were battered and fried. Typically I don't like any batter on my wings or breading, but Manny's pulled it off. I have to mention that I had the sauces on the side. In the end, Theresa came around and asked how my meal was. I shared that the Cowboy Ribeye for $28 was not very good. Here is why. The cut was clearly pumped and admittedly needled or jaccaeded. This is why I was able to eat a well done piece of beef that was still juicy and tender (if I were blind I would have never known). My ankles and my fingers will be swollen tomorrow, but at least the beef was tender. Back to Mandy and Theresa, they are worth stopping in to Manny's. Just be careful ordering their steaks. Actually if this is how the franchisor dictates how the steaks are that they offer, be cautious with everything you order. But that's the case with anything you order out these days. In the end, the mashed potatoes were great as were the rice and beans. In this franchises attempt to make a profit, they forgot what put them on the map in the first place, beef. I don't get it, Manny's is already priced high, go a few dollars more and offer a real good piece of beef at a fair margin. For those reading this old enough to remember Rustler Steakhouse, well, that's what Manny's reminded me of. Nothing wrong with that. The only difference is, you knew what you had in Rustler's (super value for the price) not so the case with Manny's. I guess now I know, and it's not good. Too expensive and not what I would call a value. Thank you Mandy and Theresa for making a less than exceptional meal extraordinary with a great customer centric approach. It's worth going to Manny's for the opportunity to meet these two ladies. John

Great Chophouse with proper food, we visited at the weekend the ribs were great washed down with some excellent beers, all without having to book a table. Our server Nick was very good.

Decided to try this place since we passed it on our way back to the hotel daily and was glad that I did. It known for steaks. One of the best things I really like is they serve a large salad before your meal in the huge bowls that you would see if they were mixing wings in the different sauces of your request. It's huge. Definitely my kind of place.

The best service I have had in a very long time. Our waitress went above and beyond. The look of the inside and the outside is cute, clean and inviting. We got ribeye and salmon. Very good.
