“I’ve been coming to play Savannahs golf course for over two decades. Since Carter’s Grille made their appearance about 6 months ago. I find myself now showing up just for lunch and dinner. The food is hands down delicious, made fresh to order and fast enough to get on the turn. 10-10 and have been feeling that way for months.“

“The Greenhouse is our Friday favorite. The staff is great. We come down for adventure. Good American food. Daily specials are always good, fresh and come with a drink. It is the best lunch value on the cape. Wish they would bring back the shrimp pivot on Friday, but the shrimp and seafood baskets are piled high and served fast. The mushroom Swiss burger is my second go to, there are so many good things to choose from. We appreciate the NOTU team for letting us visit as often as we can even under these trying times.“

“Ive been going here since it was IHOP back in the 90s. Changed owners and names a few times, but i must say the quality may have switched but it didnt decrease. This place has a great menu. The waitresses are friendly. All of them. The woman who has been there since TJs is as pleasant as the day is long. The cook is great. Shes hustling her butt off and making great dishes. I got there often.“

“Terrible, awful service, awful food, something has gone Terribly wrong, server could not even address us. They tried to give me some leftover burger that someone had already partially ate, disgusting salad bar, and no one really working there. Won't be back“

“I don't recommend it. The preacher burger was served to me with sand in it. Ridiculous, I won't be back.“

“We were staying at another hotel but they were perfectly happy serving us. The pot roast was surprisingly good. Large portions and pricing what we'd expect for a hotel restaurant. Service was very friendly with our kids at dinner, they prioritized getting their food out fast, and a short walk from our hotel. Really impressed how the manager sincerely engaged us and took care of us at dinner, and had the bartenders took care of my family during lunch.“

“I like there food very much“

“Had a nice lunch today and a very nice waitress that took good care of us. We have not been to Beef O Bradys in a couple years and my wife was sad the French dip is no longer offered and I was looking forward to mich ultra amber on tap, also not available. Otherwise we were satisfied with our visit.“

“oday I had breakfast at My Island Pancake House in Rockledge, Fl. My meal was terrific! The server (Rachelle) was excellent! Service with a smile, and very helpful with menu questions. She should be running the restaurant! A must stop if you are anywhere near Rockledge, Fl.... You will not be disappointed!“

“Stopped for brunch this morning first time there. It’s a typical diner. Was disappointed that a business that says Mitchell’s Mimosas had no champagne to make mimosas. It’s not far from a few places that they could’ve picked up a few bottles of sparkling wine if running low. It is Father’s Day after all. Best part of entire experience was the very friendly, efficient waitress Trinity. She was attentive, suggested a few things on the menu, ensured beverages were filled. Food was good- typical diner. Is it a place I would go out of my way for? Probably not. But if I do, I would want Trinity as my server.“

“Family enjoyed a delicious meal on our way to cocoa village. Great service and even better food. The poke nachos are delicious!“

“Keys atmosphere fish from right off the shore excellent staff and wonderful food“

“The portions are huge, the sauce is some of the best I've every had (don't tell.my cousin Earl because everyone in the Ozarks says his sauce is the best). The wait staff was great with fast refills. Sonny's features large drinking cups. I appreciate that. The unsweetened tea was A+++.“

“I have been playing some gigs here for a while now, and booked a bunch all next year, I just have to say... this is one special place. They know what's up from the friendliest staff, to epic food that's their own niche, nothing cliché about theit menu, creative seasonal drink menu constantly updating, and just the most perfect vibes for me to bring my live music to. Twelve out of ten. Come catch a gig there, I'm playing once or twice a month all 2026, kudos to 4SFS keep it up! 🤘🥳“

It’s rare to encounter a server with such personality , we thought his boss should know what a gem they have on their team! :0)“

“The staff, service and food are amazing!! There is a reason (actually a lot of reasons) why it has become our family tradition to eat breakfast here every Sunday morning! It is super family and kid friendly. John, Kesha and Kara are all so welcoming. Since we have been coming regularly, they have learned what we typically order and are thoughtful enough to bring our 15mo her food first. We always look forward to seeing them each week and appreciate their hospitality and genuine kindness. We also very much appreciate their kindness and playfulness towards our kids, specifically, our 15mo who can be found walking around greeting customers and picking out some of the #Brevardrocks from the basket. We love and highly recommend the Rockledge Diner!! 😊“

“What a great staff. We showed up in the middle of a torrential downpour during Hurricane Debbie. The staff had towels ready for us to help dry off in the lobby while checking in. Room was nice and clean and big. The staff at the Bistro was super friendly and made it so we didn’t have to leave in the middle of a storm to grab dinner. Thanks to everyone at the hotel.“

“Amazing! Awesome! The atmosphere and food is delicious. The burger was so big and juicy, fries crispy great and the calzone stuffed fill, so much cheese. we saw some pizzas and they were absolutely amazing. can't wait to try those!. Just come and get it. you won't be disappointed.“
