“I like the nostalgia of the restaurant and store. I actually like the store better than the food!“

“I was at your restaurant in Sanford, Florida and I wanted to give a shout out to Matt for a job well done. A customer behind my son in law and I was complaining about how long it took to receive his order. Matt kept his cool and offered to pay for the customer's dinner out of his pocket! That's going beyond the call of duty in my book. This young man deserves credit for a job well done in this situation and should be reimbursed for paying for the customer's dinner out of his own pocket! Great job. Well done Matt!“

“Definitely recommend! They just served at my event this past weekend and they were FANTASTIC! Incredibly fast service with incredible food! I had about 40-50 guest at the event and every person that got food was very happy! Best wings I’ve ever had!“

“We have been customers of Carrabba’s for over 25 years, but unfortunately, the lasagna at the Sanford location has changed. Our recent order arrived with almost no pasta, mostly cheese and sauce. The manager kindly replaced it and offered a discount, which we appreciated, but the second lasagna still only had one layer of pasta. This is not about compensation — it’s about consistency and quality. We hope Carrabba’s brings back the lasagna quality we have enjoyed for many years.“

“The Cajun fried rice was excellent. The beignets and banana foster were superb!

It was my hubby's birthday and the server brought out beignets and sang happy birthday! That was nice.

Big complaint...the overall service dampened the whole dining experience. No silverware on the table, so the food came and we had to wait to dig in. Had to get up to request a knife and then ask a couple of times for sauce. The server was not friendly and attitude lackluster.

Service is a huge part of the dining experience, if the food wasn't excellent I would have taken off 4 stars. I'll pass on future dine in but will potentially order to go. The food was some of the best Cajun I've had in years!“

“Hit after hit!!! Everything was fresh and delicious“

“This is my favorite place in Sanford. The owners have created an incredible space for community that welcomes all. They have a weekly run club, trivia, game night, and yoga. They also have other weekly occurring clubs as well as events like book swaps, craft clubs, plant swaps. They host regular art shows with themes displaying local artists. It also helps that the beer is delicious. They always have a cider, Selzer and at least one sour option. They have kombuchas and also have non alcoholic options in the cold case. They have juice and soda as well. They an area with toys for children and a lot of regulars have young children and come with their families.“

“The Café di Riverwalk, situated along Lake Monroe, is truly one of Sanford’s hidden gems. With inviting outdoor seating, it’s the perfect place to relax, enjoy conversation, and take in the ever-changing beauty of the water. Some days the lake is calm, crystal clear, and serene; on others, gentle waves ripple across its surface, adding to the charm of the view. Often, you’ll spot an eagle’s nest perched atop a nearby pole, and throughout the season, visitors have the special treat of watching the eagle family. You might also enjoy seeing the town’s paddleboat or other vessels glide by. Keep an eye out for jumping fish, the occasional alligator, and even manatees that sometimes make an appearance in Lake Monroe. Step inside, and you’ll find additional cozy seating. Owners Sherry and Felix consider it a privilege to serve the Sanford community through this lovely coffee shop. Their energetic and friendly staff are always ready with a warm welcome and expertly crafted coffee—often adorned with beautiful coffee art. The menu offers a variety of breakfast and lunch options, including the highly recommended made-to-order Eggy Breakfast Bagel, prepared with the freshest ingredients. Take a break from the busyness of life—step away from your phone, bring along a friend or family member, and spend a couple of relaxing hours enjoying the hospitality, delicious food, and stunning views that Café di Riverwalk has to offer.“

“Came in at night, after 9pm and the young staff in there were kind, worked quickly and made sure I knew all the great items available! Ended up getting an affogato and it was exactly as I hoped it would be with a delicious espresso! Well done team!“

“Omg!! This place provided me so much more than good food. The cafe is inside Million Air (I told Will there needs to be a huge “Jet-way Cafe” sign outside) where they charter private planes. There was free coffee and a “secret” lounge where I was able to kill more than 3 hours. It’s secret (shh) ?.Will, the cafe owner, was lovely & other staff in Million Air was lovely.. Philly Steak was VERY lovely. Will was awesome.What a cute little place. It was a blessing to stumble in here!! Thank you!!“

“Nice atmosphere, college games playing. Good service and bartenders.“

“1/3/25…in town for one night, never been here, never heard of this place, just decided to try it. Stopped in around 5:00. The host asked if we had a reservation, we did not. She said “I’ll work you in” and seated us immediately at the bar. The bruschetta was the bomb! The fried chicken was totally out of this world! The service was outstanding! A must go to place!“

“The brisket and pulled pork were great. My daughter said the pulled chicken was great too.“

“Great pizza and even better Mac and cheese bites. My son and I are stuffed!! Definitely will come back .“

“Our server, Nicole, was great! Very friendly, fast service, fixed a food problem.
Huge portions of food! If you leave hungry, it’ll be a miracle.
Background music can be a little too loud.
My steak had to be sent back because the cook accidentally drowned it in their delicious seasoning; you could only taste seasoning, no beef.
One of the managers, Julie was amazing. She too, made sure everything was good & actually listened to the customers.
Thank you! Will definitely come back!“

“This location is outstanding, it’s always well kept, the drinks are 10/10 everytime so delicious, and the staff here are so friendly and very helpful; I’ve only been to this location about three times and im still getting used to the menu and how to order what I’m looking for and the employees are always kind enough to answer my questions, specifically an employee who I believe her name was crescent (so sorry if I’m mistaken) but she was so much help and treated me and my mom with such kindness; had welcomed us, constantly smiling, answered all my questions about the menu and she even went out of her way to make our drinks on the house which made the experience more heartfelt. We’ll definitely be returning to this location more often! Thank you so much!!“

“The meals we ordered tasted great!“

“It was my first time eating at a PE and everything tasted like it was drowned in sugar, it was WAY too sweet. I ended up throwing everything away. However the staff was friendly and kind, place was clean, and the experience was great other than the food being horrible in my own personal opinion, it was also a little pricey. It just wasn't for me but my spouse loved it.“
