“Nancy has been feeding my family for YEARS. Easily over a decade. We’ve constantly come back for several reasons, one of them being the consistency in the quality of the food. Nancy is always quick to deliver a hot delicious meal no matter what! Her ingredients are always fresh, and prepared correctly. I’ve seen Nancy handle that kitchen with a full dining room with ease, always taking the time to check on her customers, and thanking them. Our favorites are the ham and cheese omelette, and her French toast! Please don’t hesitate to try her fresh desserts too!“

“On December 10th I ordered a reuban sandwich. The waitress informed me pickles no longer came with the sandwich it was now considerd one of your sides. The reuban came with big chunks of fat and the meat must have been warmed on the grill because they were browned, and the fries were cold. I informed the waitress and a stern looking women came out of the kitchen and asked 'what else was wrong?' and left without another word said. I paid the bill and left. Horrible“

“We have tried the Cody’s in Ocala 4 times. I must say not interested in going back. The service stinks, the last time, we sat at the booth no one came over . People sat down after us, waited on order put in. Still no one lots of servers walking around doing nothing but talking. I finally had to stop someone and ask , found out our table did not have a server. Still no excuse, not one server stopped and inquired just walked right by us. They need better training. Sad thing is I love Cody’s food. The place is beautiful,owner seems nice.“

“Been there twice in the last month. Love their food and service. The 30 minute call ahead is wonderful. I had the Cajun seared ahi tuna last time and it was perfect.

“We had our son's graduation party there last night. We reserved the front room from 6-7:45 and unfortunately we ran 30 minutes behind. We called them to let them know we were running late and they said just come anyway and we will make it happen. They did just that, they made it happen! Our server Matthew was great! There were 24 of us and he was on top of everything. All of our food rolled out at the same time so we were all eating together. The food was excellent as always! We pushed it right to 7:45 and then we were able to move into the dining room area in a corner so we could finish celebrating with the cake that we brought. I can't say enough about Matthew and the rest of the staff, they all were fantastic!“

“To whom that is reading this, please recognize Wilma for the wonderful person she is.

Wilma always has a great attitude, cheerful, polite and always has a smile for the customers. She always has an attention to detail. She always makes sure your doing ok and your order is correct. I watched her wait on 6 tables while I was eating and she was calling people at the table by their name. That makes people feel at home. That to me is a person who truly takes pride in the work she is an exceptional server. When I come in to eat I always love seeing her because I know I will have a great experience.
Wilma thank you for your hard work and attention to detail, you are fantastic person.

Thank you,
ED“

“Bartenders are friendly and provide quality service. Food is very good, my two favorites are the Philly Cheesesteak and the Fried Shrimp“

“YESTERDAY WE ATE THERE 5/12/24 OUR SERVER WAS KILEY M SHE WAS VERY GOOD KNEW THE MENUE ALWAS CHECKED IN ON US. MADE VERY PLEASANT MEAL EXPERIENCE. HIGH FIVE FOR KILEY.“

“This is the best location by far and I have become a regular there. The staff are very friendly and are attentive. The food portions are huge and they make the best hash browns! The cooks do an excellent job at off menu ideas, and accurate with their recipes. The best thing about Darrells at this location is their TEAM effort in refilling the coffee or water while you are enjoying your meals & the company of your friends/family. Heather, Ben & the beautiful blonde waitress is what makes that location a great place to go to again & again. They remember your name, what you like to drink and take the time in between serving meals to check in on you. They clear off tables quickly to make room for those walking in to be seated. If you want to enjoy your meal and have exceptional customer service, this is the place! Lastly, their prices are very reasonable and why I’ve decided to eat there often. I dont usually take the time in writing reviews, but they deserve it!“

“I stopped coming into Applebee's for awhile as the weekend was always a mess, however I came last night and sat at the bar. My bartender Kendra was amazing. She was able to handle the whole bar top as when I sat down so did about 15 other people at the same time. Man she took control and professionally handled everyone in a timely manner. My food was good but the service was amazing. I will now start coming back on the weekends to see Kendra! Watching her muti task was awesome and she handled everything with such ease.“

“We absolutely loved our visit to Bank Street! The outdoor patio atmosphere is fantastic and has a great vibe. The menu is excellent with plenty of delicious scratch-made options—the Loaded Nachos were unbelievable, and the dessert was phenomenal. Service was top-notch, too. Highly recommend checking this spot out!“

“Great breakfast. We love the Motown music they play. And friendly staff and great service. We go almost every Saturday morning.“

“Waffle House is a classic “no-frills” breakfast stop that always hits when you want something hot and filling, especially late night or early morning. The vibe is simple and old-school, but the grill cooks know what they’re doing—crispy hash browns, solid waffles, and breakfast plates that come out fast. Staff was friendly and kept the coffee coming. It’s not fancy, but it’s dependable comfort food.“

“My wife was in Advent for five days, she insisted I get some supper each night. I went to the Darrell’s on Pine Ave, James was cooking and did a fantastic job. Different waitress each night, all friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. The meal and good service helped getting past some difficult times.“

“Great Food GreatService Great Drinks Mandi was great!!!!“

“Rachael was awesome 👏 she made my night after a long work day and she gave my family the dinner we needed to have a good night 💤🌙 thanks for the awesome service 😁“

“We tried a Waffle House in Valdosta Georgia and had an excellent breakfast and service was above and beyond great. We decided to try this Waffle House went inside and sat at a table for at least 10 minutes and no waitress even acknowledged us. There were no other patrons seated at the time. Needless to say we got up and left. Really a shame! There were at least 5 people behind the counter too.“
