“Great meal from start to finish! Our waitress, Marina, was very attentive and pleasant. Grilled Cesar salad was fresh and crisp and had just enough char for taste. Steaks and rack of lamb were cooked appropriately and seasoned well. Stuffed Branzino (a special) and black grouper were fresh and tasty. Desserts did not disappoint. Delicious! We'll be back!“

“Great value and good food👍“

“Another Great home cooked meal from my favorite restaurant in Florida. 5 Stars because everything was delicious, Again. All Fresh and home cooked meals. Wine and Beer only but 2ed bottle of wine is half-price. Only holds about 25-30 people, that's why you MUST have a reservation Be patient for your food because it is all made from scratch.“

“What an unexpected delight! Delicious fish and loved that they had malt vinegar with it! A little disappointed they served steak fries instead of English chips but everything was excellent. Wish we had more nights to try some of the other English dishes. The Ole Smoky Old fashioned was also superb. And what a fun way to present with the burnt cedar. Better than our Wisconsin old fashioned. ?. We will definitely return next winter.“

“We enjoyed a relaxing and quiet dinner in the grill dining room. Our waiter was just terrific. The food was very good and the prices were reasonable.“

“Overall our stay was not bad . I just wish when booking they would let you know what time the pool and hot tub closes , which is fairly early 9 p.m . The pool and hot tub are nice once of the reasons we booked here ( and because it was close to the beach ) but the pool is all of 4’6 inches deep . . There is nothing to do or really eat around this area so you more than likely will be driving 30+ minutes looking for food .“

“Villani never disappoints! We had a big group in last night and Lilly our waitress was awesome. Brain and Glen made the best drinks, and all of our food was delicious as always!! Our favorite spot in Wellen Park!!“

“Me and my friends come here almost every Friday for happy hour. Sydney & Leland (hope I spelled those right!) are awesome. They have our drink orders memorized and always make happy hour fun for us.“

“Its been decades since I've eaten at Bob Evans. Had seen enough biscuits and gravy videos on the FIFA TikToks and I wanted some. If you know, you know. Took my wife to Skillets across the street and down a bit. We got seated there right away but after waiting over 10 minutes for a server to greet us and take our orders we left. Thats how we ended up at Bob Evans. We were seated immediately, our drink orders were taken immediately and our food came out promptly. I had the biscuit and gravy wrangler breakfast my wife had the French toast breakfast. Everything exceeded our expectations and the prices were actually lower than most restaurants. We're looking forward to going back soon for dinner.“

“Edited: we went back to Applebee's and the service and food were very good! Glad we gave it a 2nd chance.
Last time...
We ordered and when the food came, it was all wrong. The waitress shared that everyone in the kitchen was new! Long story short, we waited another 30 minutes for our burgers, which were delicious 😋 They did discount our meal though...“
