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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“The food was good and the service was great“

“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...“

“Happened to stop on our way home. Best decision! The food.... insanely delicious and the staff is the most amazing group of people! So friendly and kind and generous! We WILL BE BACK. Do yourself a favor and come here for breakfast, lunch or dinner! Or ALL THREE!!!“

“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!”“

“Editing again ... Stacy the manager was so sweet and so on top of everything. We appreciate managers like her! She was literally sitting people, cleaning and chatting with her customers, along with us. She's a 5 star just by herself. The bartender Anna she was the bartender, the host and the server and she makes the BEST long island ice teas, sorry Leslie you are second though! Oh let's not forget the chef 🤌🏻 perfecto! Applebee's y'all know how to pick your staff.

Editing.. We've been in several times since my first review but this employee went above and beyond and deserves to be noticed. Lesley P ✨ was above five stars. She makes amazing long Island ice teas but also makes sure you're very well taking care of. Thank you Lesley, the world needs more people like you!

Chef cooked an amazing Hot Honey Chicken Skillet 😋“

“We ordered 2 burgers, yuca fries and empanadas. The burgers and the vegetables on the burgers were all very fresh. The empanadas were a favorite and only recommendation I have for the yuca fries is to add a sauce with them.
Great atmosphere but it did take a while to get our food. Order ahead to save from waiting.“

“Staff is amazing. Great place“

“Been on my list for a while. Not disappointed. Large portions, enough for two meals. The very attractive Christina served us with excellent service..,(call me 😉🤫). Extremely friendly, not only to us, but to everyone in the place. Sadly, only visiting a short time. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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.“

“My teens and I went for burgers here last night 9/27. I was thoroughly impressed with how accomodating the staff was in general and even more so once I shared that my son has food allergies. The gentleman who took our order was fun to speak with and very knowledgeable about ingredients and menu items my son should avoid. He even called the cook over to confirm and inform the cook that my son has food allergies. The gentleman who cooked/made my son's burger was sure to clean the area before beginging my son's burger. He also created a burger with tortillas instead of buns because my son cannot have the buns. There was never a moment where I felt we were bothering them with our questions - they made us feel so welcomed. Once our food came out, everything was perfection. The cook even visited with us and asked how the burgers turned out.
We ordered the cheesy, the classic & my son order a bacon double no cheese, no bun - substitute tortillas(milk/dairy, egg, peanut/treenut allergy) - the three of us enjoyed our meals and are still very appreciative with the staff that truly went above and beyond for us. Thank you WayBack Team!!! We will be back :)

Oh, and the strawberry hibiscus lemonade was very refreshing!“

“Highly recommend! Great atmosphere, great selection of drinks, and food was amazing!“

“My last visit to Tampa was a home run with my brothers in the chap world. Simms killed it with the smoked mullet and turkey rice. The owners are great people and the food is off the chain. Thanks so much for doing food so right!“

“First time here and I got the BBQ burnt ends hash and it's was SO flavorful. Fresh ingredients and my plate had tons of color. I was pretty impressed. Menu is full of options and I'm eager to go back.“
