“Chicken tenders were awesome need to learn how to Cook sweet potato fries they were overcooked“

“This is my favorite location. I've been to one further north neeeby and St Pete and Worcester MA and none compare. My ice cream cone is always filled correctly so I don't end up tossing an empty unfilled cone come that part, my order is ALWAYS right, warm and the only location I've been to that gives mints. Thank you to the operator for ordering these. It DOES make a difference.
Staff is wonderful for carry out and drive thru. I don't get judged for ordering odd things when on prep and just happy I can eat out somewhere
I'm happy this is my local location right now and will be sad when I move home and don't receive the consistency like here“

“Fresh, fast and tasty! They don’t hassle you about wearing a mask either!“

“One of the best places to get delicious fresh pizza. And you can feed the whole family for cheaper than fast food. They have great promotions, and you can add healthy salad to your meal. Very fun atmosphere during a weekend visit! Great job to the owner and management 👏 Loved it.“

“Fantastic restaurant with fantastic employees. They always provide excellent customer service, that’s half the reason I enjoy coming out. Keep up the good work!“

“Cod & chips to go was done perfectly, just like in the UK. They even have Heinz malt vinegar.
We’ve been to several higher-end sitdown restaurants in the area who have fish and chips on the menu and this is definitely the best we’ve had here.“

“Ordered the grilled chicken and egg white sandwich yesterday morning with the minis and the bacon egg cheese buisciit for my boys. We love breakfast here before school. Makes the Day better!!!“

“Hello I just wanted to share I have been there twice so far and I have had the same girl her name tag said lya I remember because I told her her name was weird , she was so amazing and sweet and professional , and fast . Both times she was so sweet I just wanted to say she's an awesome employee and I come here all the time .“

“My DoorDash order was incorrect, so I stopped by the restaurant to have it fixed. The young men working at the counter immediately apologized and replaced my order without any hassle. Jacoby was especially kind, patient, and helpful throughout the entire experience.

Unfortunately, my interaction with the manager was much different. She insisted that I was the reason my DoorDash order was incorrect, even though the salad I received wasn’t the one I had ordered in the first place. She continued to argue with me over which type of chicken I had selected, despite the fact that the entire order was wrong. At the end of the day, I simply wanted the correct salad.

Despite the situation, Jacoby went above and beyond. He made sure I had extra ketchup, the correct dressing, and even a fresh drink. He handled everything professionally while the store was busy and made what could have been a frustrating experience much better. He deserves recognition for his excellent customer service.“

“These guys were having technical issues when I arrived, and Michael who helped me was an absolute legend.

Gave me some great recommendations for food and everything was amazing.

Spectacular service, I will literally come back just to see Michael cuz of how cool this guy is.
(Plus the food is pretty nice too)“

“Sometimes they can be quick, other times they take too long. I have ordered a few times and they don't put the mobile orders on the rack like other locations do and I have to go up and ask about my order. They tell me they didn't know if I wanted my food in a bag. I thought that was the point of mobile orders? To grab your food and go.“

“This is truly a best kept secret of Sarasota. The food portions ,Quality and service are amazing. Oh i forgot to mention how clean thi.s restaurant is. This is the best of the best“

“This is the first time I have ever tried their tacos I send a friend of mine one as a gift and she loved it these tacos I've just eat the first bite I am in heaven thank you all this is great damn food keep it up and God bless you I will be coming back more and people y'all need to try them out they are off the chain“

“Picked up company at the airport and they were hungry. So, we went to the drive-thru at Culvers and got 4 butter burgers with the works, onion rings, French fries, iced teas and strawberry parfaits. The bill was over 50.00 so we also received a free pint of Culver's custard. Everything was great!“

“We stopped by this Pizza Hut and had a fantastic experience. The staff was friendly, the restaurant was clean, and our order came out fresh and hot. The pizza was made perfectly with plenty of toppings, the crust was just right, and everything tasted great. It’s hard to find a Pizza Hut that’s this consistent, but this location definitely stands out. Easily one of the best Pizza Huts in town—we’ll definitely be coming back!“

“The staff was friendly and my Italian sub was perfect, which is the kind of quality I expect from Jersey Mike's. But I have to ding at least one star here because I was the only one in the shop and although I only ordered one sub, the person preparing my sandwich was also preparing three other sandwiches at the same time. I understand phone in and app orders need to be filled, but I believe a customer standing there waiting for their subs should be given at least some deference. I had somewhere to be, and this almost made me late.“

“First time trying Culvers
I don't know why I hadn't tried it before. Service was fantastic. Food was really good. Prices were the same as McDonald's but better quality food. I will be having culvers more often. I would recommend this location and Culvers for anyone wanting a quick bite to eat. 5 stars“

“I tried this last night and by far the best food! i had the Quesabirria. Absolutely delicious. the meat melts in your mouth.“

“Hot zamn, this place was AWESOMEEE! They embodied “freaky fast” before my eyes. Shoutout Christy!!!! My sandwich was so good, I can say that because I have gotten the same sandwich at every Jimmy John’s from here to Colorado, and this was the best. They also didn’t mind my friend doing my hair really quick. Such a positive energy in there!“

“The Jersey Mike on Fruitville in Sarasota are unbelievable. The people were great there. The sandwiches are fantastic and the managers are so professional !!! I’ll go there every day for different types of sandwiches and they are all delicious one Employee named Josh. It was very helpful but they all are love going to Jersey Mike’s on Fruitville Road in Sarasota, Florida.“

“Jersey Mike's, and it was absolutely outstanding! Everything tasted incredibly fresh, from the perfectly seasoned chicken salad to the soft, fresh bread. And A special thank you to Manager Jeff for providing such excellent customer service. He was friendly, welcoming, and made sure
everything was perfect. Thank you, Lakisha“

“My favorite Taco Bell in North Sarasota. Attentive service, smiley faces, fast actions. Food is always absolutely fresh from the kitchen. Hot and tasty. Dine-in and take-out, Drive-in works very fast. Inside you may order in person, adking crew members about the details or, if you are introvert, use one of their three kiosks and waith a while until you order is served.“

“New owners are great. I called ahead and they cooked everything fresh and even called me when it was done a bit earlier to let me know. Chicken was fantastic: hot, fresh, good seasoning, and good crunch. I was surprised on how little I spent for how much food I got, definitely recommend and I am coming back.“

“No one out pizzas the Hut!“

“Ok thank you to the beautiful woman Wilma who is Amaish.
Number one I think my sandwich tastes better made by someone Amish! So amen to that !
Or
Anyone who is raised to make home made!
She was kind helpful and put a lot of love into your meal!
Toasted tuna with love. We all deserve a meal from this warm heart.
Takes pride in her space and makes the best out of the chain she’s working at !
Helpful to the younger employees as well.“

“Quick service and great food ! Have been to this Firehouse subs before and great food as usual“

“If you want the best quality food prepared and served by the best quality people then make your way over to their location on Tuttle and Bee ridge in Sarasota. Jessica truly makes all customers feel welcomed and special. Her attention to quality is second to none. There truly is no better place you can go for a sandwich then Jersey Mike's subs on Tuttle and Bee ridge in Sarasota.“

“This location has good Manager(s). When they saw that something went wrong, they fixed it.“

“We got into this McDonald’s on the road back down to Miami, and we ordered off the kiosk. As we’re waiting for someone to assist us a kind lady named Barbara assisted us at the front counter, we didn’t realize that in order to get a fifa cup you have to say fifa Big Mac meal we just ordered plain Big Mac meals. Seeing someone go out of their way especially when short staffed is always a great thing to see, Barbara is such a sweetheart and I hope nothing but absolute blessings for her!“

“The best drive-thru Subway ever! staff is always friendly and everything is always fresh here. This place is batting a thousand out of almost 15 trips here. Bravo to the staff, I've been to a lot of subways , but this place is always exceeding expectations, they make the best Subway subs here.

With that said it's still a Subway sub.. but damn they do it right here“

“A typical Subway this location is kind of hidden away from Clark Road. However, in all the times I have gone the inside has always been clean, and the staff welcoming.

The subs I have gotten here have never been short of ingredients and the staff fill the subs nicely.“

“MAkINZIE service today telling me about the one dollar Coke and Slurpee special between 2 and 6 PM. This Wawa sells bananas two for two dollars with the standard Wawa menu for breakfast lunch dinner and snack specials. I love the roast chicken strips. They’re absolutely delicious with a barbecue sauce.
The Wawa offers of variety of snack size and larger size snacks like popcorn. They have a beer cooler that follows the Florida State laws for selling and it’s really cold in the beer cooler with a variety of beer and beer type drinks.
The venue has two interest with two push doors accessible entrance access accessible venue. Some of the items are up high due to high shelving make it difficult for even me to reach.
Self check out kiosks are accessible the Coca-Cola freestyle machine and Slurpee machine are accessible height. They offer an array of coffees and an incredible array of dairy and non-dairy creamers, sugar, Stevia, and sweeteners for coffee drinks.
They at Wawa offers an excellent rewards program
Men’s and women’s restroom offer a push door that’s kind of heavy with an accessible stall that has two grab bars and 6‘ x 4‘ space why is the music so much louder in the bathroom than in the rest of the store music is a tolerable level within the store, but very loud in the restroom
The gas pumps are in accessible height, and offer help for someone who may need help getting the gas
Gotta love the offerings at Wawa, including fresh fruit cups, dill, pickles, and sandwiches ready to go as well as
Made to order sandwiches wraps, and breakfast sandwiches
There are a Tesla chargers, outback, which makes charging my car a great stop here“

“Absolutely amazing service. I work close by so I frequent this place all the time and I have received excellent service every time. The restaurant is clean, the staff is friendly and the food is delicious. At first I had issues with the lack of parking but now there is plenty of spaces available on the south side of the building by the Chinese restaurant. Definitely my go to lunch spot. 11/10“

“Store employee “Izzo” had a great attitude from the beginning. Far better than any employee I have ever met at this location and it was nearly 1am with a large line. It seemed like he was happy to be working and gave me a the best experience I have had at Taco Bell. It really made my night I drove home Happy, food was the best I’ve had. I really hope he gets recognition he deserves and Can inspire more people there.“

“This location is take out only. The staff were all super friendly and answered all of our questions. They prepared our food in a very timely manner. Oh, we ordered two pepperoni pizzas and two orders of bread sticks. Delicious! Everything was very good! This staff was awesome. Thank you. We will return!“

“Always Great Here Thank You 🙏🏼🌴🐔🌴🙏🏼“

“SOOOOOO disappointed that you were NOT welcoming the nation wide promotion of $6.99 for any club.. I did order (as I or we normally do) because of one of your staff. YARELY is so helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly. She remembers customers and their interests. A real pleasure to come in when she is working.“

“SUBWAYS ARE THE BEST SANDWICH SHOPS IN SARASOTA PERIOD.Subway is always amazing and delicious but I am biased for they make the very best Tuna Sub in America and maybe even the world but I may be the only person who eats Tuna subs for I have never seen the container not full when I order them y'all haven't lived till you have a tuna with sweet onion sauce and lettuce and pickles from any subway I have never been disappointed“
