50 Best American Restaurants near Valrico

“I had a great experience at Applebee’s thanks to Dani. From the moment we were seated, she provided exceptional customer service and made us feel genuinely welcomed. She was attentive without being overbearing, checked in at all the right times, and made sure everything was exactly how we wanted it.

Dani went above and beyond to ensure our experience was smooth and enjoyable. She was knowledgeable about the menu, offered helpful suggestions, and kept everything running seamlessly from drinks to dessert. Her positive attitude and friendly personality really stood out and made the whole visit more enjoyable.

It’s clear that Dani takes pride in her work and truly cares about her customers. Applebee’s is lucky to have her on their team—she made a lasting impression, and I’ll definitely be coming back because of service like hers!“

“I had the pleasure of dining in the Valrico restaurant and tho my review is not all pleasant the results of my issue was pleasant...My mom and I came in for dinner after her Chemo Treatment...Our waitress Bianca was very nice...we ordered our food a Pancake breakfast and Pot Pie...as we waited some time we noticed that tables whom were seated after us were getting their food...well after the 3rd table was served I finally called our waitress over to ask how long would it be she politely responded I'm checking on it now...so I asked could I please speak with a manager...The reason being is that I felt I didn't need to address the waitress because she was going to continue serving us and I didn't want the tension between us...The manager came out can't remember her name I explained to her that we had been waiting quite a while for our food and in the meantime no one said anything to us of why it's taking so long...she apologized and offered us freebies to our satisfaction...We refused the freebies because we wanted what we ordered we didn't come to get anything free...To my surprise she was very professional listened to our problem with a pleasant attitude...Even tho we refused she brought dessert to the table..just wanted to say Thank you to not only her but also Bianca I will definitely be back again...The our dinner was amazing...“

“I’ve been going to the Brunchery since I was a kid and now I take my own kids there if that tells you how good this place is. The potatoes are amazing but so is almost everything else on the menu. The staff has always been super friendly and accommodating. It’s my kids’ favorite place to eat so I take them every chance I get!“

“25 mins to get our waters and drinks after sitting down...and then our waiter didn't put in my husbands dinner, so when the food came, it was an appetizer and 1 meal. Awful service. The Mgr made up for it by comping our first round of drinks and my husband's dinner (that was never put in), but wow. I feel like I was getting punked tonight.“

The food was good, the desserts were huge, and everything came out looking amazing. Our server was friendly and checked on us regularly without being overbearing. Even though it was busy, the staff kept things moving and made us feel welcome. It’s definitely a great spot for birthdays, celebrations, or just a fun night out with friends.

“I love the beef o Brady's in plant City their food is amazing and the servers there are very good at there job !!!“

“A wonderful experience enhanced by Zoey who was an outstanding frontline ambassador for expected service and care. I ventured away from my usual Thai Bowl and tried the Big Italy with crispy chicken and spaghetti squash. Dang…was it good! Portions were sufficient, well-prepared and proudly served. This selection might just become my favorite at Cali’s. Granted, the staff consists of young adults who are, in the least, committed to going to work to earn their pay. Their attitude is encouraging. Some of the comments posted may not be fair. One has to allow opportunity for on-the-spot redress of an actual or perceived wrong (the menu is self-explanatory or can be clarified by simply asking). No matter - this was not our first time at Cali’s and definitely not the last. We look forward to our next visit and selections. Thank you … Zoey (and staff) for another great “Cali experience!”“

“My husband and I went to Keke's in Brandon for a Valentine brunch. We had a delicious meal and excellent service by our waitress, Kristina. She was so attentive and made us feel like she really enjoyed serving us. All around it was a great experience!“

“Everything is so fresh and served on their wonderful bread.“

“Always stop at this Culvers when in Brandon. Staff is friendly, helpful and the store is clean. The manager was visible and as busy as her staff.“

“I have to say, the Plant City Applebee's has to be my favorite location of any other Applebee's restaurant i have visited in the past! Everyone from host, waiters and even the person running the many drinks we had. Not only did a manager come to welcome us to the restaurant and seeing if we needed anything else. THE ACTUAL GM DELIVERED OUR FOOD WITH OUR WAITOR. SHE MADE SURE OUR ORDER WAS CORRECT, AND EVEN TOLD US ABOUT A FUNDRAISER FOR A LEMONADE STAND. WORTHY CAUSE SO WE WERE HAPPY TO DONATE. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS LOCATION. THANK YOU APPLEBEE'S!“

“Always a friendly diner! Great food with great service! Shelbie took great care of me today… always checking on me and my drink never goes empty.“

“Had an awesome experience at Wayback Burgers in Lithia! The food was great definitely hit the spot but what really stood out was the service. A huge shoutout to Freddy for taking such great care of us and making sure our burgers and drinks were perfect. The whole staff was super friendly and provided top-tier service. It’s rare to find a place where the team is this welcoming and attentive. I’ll definitely be coming back soon! 110/100!“

“While it wasn't the atmosphere we were looking for that night for the group, this place is inviting. Music planing with a gorgeous view from the deck.

The parking lot was ful when we arrived around 8, but if you park by the road there is an open grass spot where you can take a short walk if all the spots close get filled.“

“This place is outstanding. Sometimes there a few minutes waiting time to be seated, but we'll worth the wait. Servers are professional and polite!! I will difiantly be going back.“
