“My friend and I, or alone, visit your restaurant in Brandon, FL several times a month since your opening and we always take good care of our server. We love the food! The fried chicken is the closest to the Amish's Broasted chicken that we've found! Amish cooking is the best overall but there are close seconds. Your restaurant is one of the few my friend and I patronize here in Brandon. We're loyal patrons of certain establishments. I am a senior, over 70, with hearing loss in my right ear, as a result, I talk a little louder in noisy settings, but it certainly isn't yelling. Unfortunately, in today's world if you speak above a whisper, you're accused of yelling. Sad people can't handle someone speaking above a whisper. I'm old school and in my life experience, people have the freedom to speak up when it's deserved. I visited your restaurant today, Sept 13, 2026, about 12:15pm(seated at 12:50pm) and put my name on the list, 20 minute wait. I told the young lady if a space came open at the counter, I'd take it. About 10 minutes into the 20 minute wait, I noticed an empty seat, told the hostess I was going to see if it was taken and walked over. The seat was taken so I walked back over to the hostess and ask her to keep my place. Several new walkins were seated while I was waiting. Excuse me, I asked the hostess, I have been waiting for over 20 minutes and not been seated and you're sitting others? The front line manager walked over and told me not to yell at the employee. I was not yelling and told her I couldn't hear with my right ear (and there was so much noise), I had been waiting for a table for over 20 minutes and others were seated while I was still waiting. (Trust me, if I was yelling the whole restaurant would have been privy to the conversation.) She walked away then returned and lead me to a seat with an attitude. I'm sorry, but there was no acknowledgement when I asked the hostess to keep my place after discovering the counter seat was taken. After the scene, I noticed I had received a text that my place in line had been cancelled. The hostess could have apologized and seated me because she cancelled my name but that wasn't what happened. I honestly do not feel the situation should have gone as far as it did. The staff took it out of context to the event instead of asking what the situation was instead of walking up with a hostile attitude, creating a scene. Again, we enjoy your food, the service and for the most part, glitches happen, the staff are doing their jobs with smiles, professional and efficient. I feel these young hostesses, because they have no life experience are extremely emotional for these positions. Thank you for your time and attention.“

“great food at a great price“

“We come to this location (on Fowler, University area) a lot and have been coming here for years. My waitress Annie did an awesome job as always, she was prompt, courteous and friendly. She was very welcoming and her service was great. We didn't have any wait for a table, we were greeted in a timely manner, our order was taken and our food came out in a timely manner. Out food was correct, fast and hot. Our drinks stayed full and she checked on us periodically, she didn't over do it, it was all just right. We will definitely be back and I highly recommend this location.“

“For those that don't know. All of the dining halls at USF are open to the public, have incredibly good food, and our moderately priced about $13 a meal. Parking is competitive but available the atmosphere is surcharged with youthful vigor.“

“Joe's New York Diner Tampa I had to stop by this place to give it a try. From the outside it looks a little quirky but don't be fooled. On the inside it has a 50's diner vibe written all over it. This is one of my double hitter places as in I got Dinner one day and because it was so good I went back the next day to for Breakfast. First of all, this place was clean and very cool inside. The Menu was huge with lots of items to choose from. I love the 50's vibe of this place. Seems like a lot of locals eat here and now I know why. For Dinner I got the Ruben which came with Fries, Soup and Cole Slaw. My wife got the Ham Club which came with Fries and Coleslaw. We also ordered an appetizer of Onion Rings. When the Onion Rings came out, they looked amazing, and they were. These were the best Onion Rings that I had since moving down here. My Ruben was very good and had lots of Corn Beef on it. The Fries were golden brown and there were plenty of them. The Soup tasted homemade and was very good as well. The Coleslaw was in a small container, but it was good. My wife's Ham Club was also good and too much for her to finish. Her Fries was just as good as mine. Our waitress Jade was amazing. She answered any questions we had and knew the menu like the back of her hand. When she took our orders, she never wrote anything down. I thought boy, she is going to screw up our orders for sure but no, she had everything that we ordered down perfectly. She checked on us a bunch of times and even held a conversation about living in the area. I really enjoyed that meal and our conversation. For Breakfast I ordered Ham. 2 Eggs, Potatoes and Rye Toast. This meal filled my plate, and I could not eat everything. Tara was my waitress, and she did a fantastic job, I wanted Decaf Coffee as I have heart issues and Tara did not bat an eye about making a pot just for me. She came by a couple times asking if I needed anything. Everything was good and the Ham was thick, and the Eggs and Potatoes were done just the way I liked them. I loved the meals we ate there, and they made us feel like family. All our food was hot and flavorful. They also have an outside Patio to seating if you like. I must give this place a 5 out of 5 stars. You have stop by this quirky little place you won't be sorry. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ See You On My Next Adventure Gulf Coast terry“

“Grabbed lunch on our way to the airport to head back to Boston and was not disappointed! My daughter ordered the crispy chicken sandwich and I ordered the chicken bacon ranch bowl. Both were delicious. Comfortable atmosphere, clean tables and attentive staff. Highly recommend!“
