Jarvis - the manager is a people person, you can tell he genuinely loves what he does. He walks by every table and checks on everyone. Loved that. Overall - if you’re looking for good music, good people, and great food - 7th and Grove will not disappoint!“

“What an amazing experience. My girlfriends and I went to Lepley's for brunch before a concert.
We had reservations at 11a and were immediately seated. The vibe was so nice, DJ playing music, TV's were playing sports and our waitress was very attentive and catered to our needs. I had catfish and grits and my friends had chicken and waffles with eggs/grits.
Everything was so well seasoned and cooked well. I had a drink and whewww it was nice, strong and good!
We topped it off with the sweet potato brownie.
I expected a brownie and sweet potato combo, but it was just sweet potato's shaped into a brownie with ice cream: it was still very good!
Check out Lepley's for brunch, you won't be disappointed!“

“I had the pleasure of dining in the Valrico restaurant and tho my review is not all pleasant the results of my issue was pleasant...My mom and I came in for dinner after her Chemo Treatment...Our waitress Bianca was very nice...we ordered our food a Pancake breakfast and Pot Pie...as we waited some time we noticed that tables whom were seated after us were getting their food...well after the 3rd table was served I finally called our waitress over to ask how long would it be she politely responded I'm checking on it now...so I asked could I please speak with a manager...The reason being is that I felt I didn't need to address the waitress because she was going to continue serving us and I didn't want the tension between us...The manager came out can't remember her name I explained to her that we had been waiting quite a while for our food and in the meantime no one said anything to us of why it's taking so long...she apologized and offered us freebies to our satisfaction...We refused the freebies because we wanted what we ordered we didn't come to get anything free...To my surprise she was very professional listened to our problem with a pleasant attitude...Even tho we refused she brought dessert to the table..just wanted to say Thank you to not only her but also Bianca I will definitely be back again...The our dinner was amazing...“

“The place is super super pretty and the building is pretty new. The employees are all amazing and super sweet and helpful when my boyfriend couldn’t figure out how to start the bowling game on the tablet lol. The bowling alley is super fun and you can play up to two games. They give you shoes after you pay, it was about 50$ for two games, and I bought socks which were super nice and thick comfy socks. The food was great they mostly serve burgers and sushi. I honestly recommend for dates this was so much fun for my boyfriend and I’s one year anniversary, i will be coming back !“

“It was my first time eating here at Mama's Soulfood.I ordered the Oaxtail dinner with yellow rice, Collard greens and macaroni cheese.I just moved here from Miami,Florida 10 months ago..I was very dissatisfied with the Collard greens which had a distinct odor and wasn't completely cooked. Oxtails was very salty. Rice was okay and the Macaroni cheese was delicious. I was very disappointed with my experience. I grew up on soulfood from Miami. I have to say my Mama's soulfood experience was the worst.“
