50 Best American Restaurants near University Park

“I love Oak and Stone and am a frequent customer of the restaurant, specifically this location. It is high quality, the staff are nice, the place is very clean, and the vibes with the beer wall and atmosphere are good. On top of that, pricing is right on par and the app is incredibly easy to use with good rewards. I frequently go run errands in UTC and will stop by here to pick something up. I would also dare say this is some of the best pizza in Sarasota. What’s actually triggered me to write this review is for the first time, I experienced a hiccup with an online order and had a long in person wait time. Not only were the individuals working very apologetic, but the team took extra steps after I received my order to make it right and show appreciation to me as a customer. Shout out Jacob, the general manager. I will continue to be a big Oak and Stone fan!“

He recommended the taco trio and it was an excellent choice. My wife and I enjoyed our meal during our layover and will make this our spot when we return. Thank you Hiram!!!“

“First time dining here and the food was excellent. Service was exceptional all staff was friendly and welcoming. The manager greeted us when we arrived and when we left. The Chef runs the quietest kitchen I have ever seen. Oversaw every plate going out and the quality of the food reflects his commitment to excellence. We will definitely return.“

“Went for dinner and the food tasted amazing! We had the pleasure of being served by Nicole and she was great. Definitely recommend!“

“The quality of food is high, for that I recommend it. The reason I wouldn’t go back is that the staff just did not care we were there at all. Still waiting for them to ask how everything is… we came through last year and had a totally different experience staff was super friendly and engaged even though the place was packed. We caught them at turnover and they couldn’t care less. We talked about hitting craft as a high point for our one night in Miami before cruising… and now we won’t bother going back to Bayside.“

Chef Jose made the preparations easy and stress-free and enlisted each guest in the cooking with his enthusiasm and expert guidance. Our dedicated waiter, Angel, made sure our glasses were full and every need was met. We highly recommend this restaurant for a private party that actively involves the guests and ensures a delicious, memorable evening.“

“We love Docbs. It is typically a very good experience but service has been going down. Our waitress last night was beyond horrible. Did not care to wait the table and did not come once to check on us. Only the manager was helpful. They need to get better wait staff, it is the second time we have had issues with the staff.“

“wish there were more of these around. great food! healthy options.“

“Had such a wonderful experience at Grand Public! We came with a small group of coworkers and everything was fantastic. The menu has such a great variety with options for everyone, and the quality of the food was excellent. We loved the music and atmosphere as well — such a great vibe for Coconut Grove!

A special thank you to Oscar, our waiter, and Nyle, the Assistant General Manager. They were both incredibly attentive, welcoming, and made sure we were well taken care of throughout the evening. Amazing food, ambiance, and service. We will definitely be back!“

“Keg South is the definition of a laid-back neighborhood spot. Nothing fancy, just good food, cold drinks, and a fun, casual atmosphere.

Food: We had the queso frito, sliders, and fries, but the queso frito was definitely the standout. It was perfectly fried on the outside, warm and delicious on the inside, and easily my favorite thing we ordered. I would honestly come back just for the queso frito! The sliders were juicy and flavorful, and the fries were great for sharing. Simple bar food done really well.

Service: The service was friendly and easygoing. We were taken care of without feeling rushed, which made it a great place to hang out and enjoy ourselves.

Ambience: Keg South has that classic local dive-bar/sports-bar feel—casual, lively, and completely unpretentious. It’s the kind of place where you can watch a game, grab some food and drinks, and just relax.

Overall, Keg South is a great local spot with good food, a fun atmosphere, and queso frito that is absolutely worth ordering. I’ll definitely be back!“

“awesome food...awesome service...our server Shyanne was the best“

“Great atmosphere! Very friendly crowd and nice ambiance.“

“SEE EVERYONE ON AUGUST 9th AT THE GLOBE FOR FREESTYLE DISCO & OLD SCHOOL HIP HOP NIGHT HOSTED BY EPYYC AND DJ MELCHOR!! OLD SCHOOL REUNION EVERY MONTH!! THANKS TO ALL THAT COME OUT..“

“Oh yes! Fritangas! Burritos! And more!!! Great food!!“

“Servers all said they knew nothing about the Thursday 1/2 rack of ribs special that they said it isn't offered anymore. Well flipping through the adds attached to the table flip add list, we showed it and she said she would have to speak to her manager. She returned saying they can honor it. People don't all know to flip through that and just get handed a regular menu with no extra attachment or notification. Open to all customers!!“

“The best churro una Groceria de delicioso 😋“

“Delicious hamburger and great service. sanitizer all over.“

“Surprisingly GOOD! Quality of the food is great and the fries are delicious. But the best part is the service. You would never expect such a level of service from a fast food place. From the welcoming staff when you get inside to ensuring your food and stay is as good as possible. Michael was the best - thank you for serving us with a smile and making our day!“

“Man, what a find! I was driving around after a brutal early morning of Amazon deliveries (you know how it is!), and I was seriously craving some good grits. I actually Googled "grits near me," which is how I stumbled upon this place. I'd seen a review that mentioned "classic diner vibes," and that totally sold me. Walking in, it was like stepping into a different world although it's a bit dated, everyone was so friendly – not just the staff, but the other customers too! I got a bunch of "good mornings" from complete strangers, which was honestly so refreshing. It felt like a real community, a family kind of atmosphere. My server was a total sweetheart. She knew the menu like the back of her hand and was super helpful in guiding me to the perfect breakfast. I ordered the Chuckwagon with eggs over medium, pan sausage, home fries and a side of cheese grits. My server even pointed out a way I could save a few bucks, which I really appreciated. It's awesome when servers are that considerate. The food came out fast and was exactly what I was hoping for – hot, fresh, and cooked perfectly. I got over-medium eggs and grits, and when I poured the grits over my eggs, my server gave me a knowing look and said, "Now that's how you do it – the classic Southern way!" That just made my day. It brought back all these memories of having breakfast with my grandparents – those classic diner breakfasts that just feel like home. It was a real nostalgia trip. Seriously, the whole experience was just what I needed – good food, good people, and a great atmosphere. It just felt… good. I did notice the prices were a little higher than what I saw in some older menu pics online, but honestly, with everything going on these days, it's not surprising. Even with the slightly higher prices, I absolutely loved this place. I'm definitely going back soon. It's the perfect spot for a comforting, classic breakfast that just hits the spot.“
