“Good conditions , well maintained. Reasonably priced club and great service. I’d play again when things cool off. We did get a decent breeze at times.“

“Good food -Good service. I was a bit disappointed when I put money in the jukebox and played some classic rock and then they turned it way down low and I couldn’t even hear it -if you don’t like the music your customers play then unplug the jukebox. thank you for taking money off of my bill, but it didn’t address the actual issue, I can go to any other bar and Grill 👉🏻and they would not do that. Rude.“

“Wednesday, April 23rd, 2025, my girlfriend, my youngest son and I visited First Watch on Redbug Lake Rd in Winter Springs for my Birthday brunch, and I wanted to say we had a wonderful time. Although my girlfriend has visited several times before at a different location it was mine and my son's first time visiting First Watch, and we are super impressed. The food was very fresh and delicious and the presentation of our order was amazing. Our Server Jazlyn was very informative and helpful and she went above and beyond in her service to our needs. Afterwards the Manager Rick was also very kind and helped us out when buying goodies to take home. I highly recommend First Watch especially the one on Redbug Lake Rd in the Publix shopping center in Winter Springs, Florida.“

“The best chicken and service hands-down! Took the kids to the one in the town center tonight and we had a great time! Really appreciate all you guys do!“

“We love this Perkins! Great atmosphere with such friendly service! Food was so delicious. Ask for Whitney as your server you won’t be disappointed“

“Yum, Yum, Yum! I was invited to lunch at Papa Diesel's Restaurant on my visit to Apopka, FL. From the moment I entered the restaurant, the entire experience was a treat. A friendly family atmosphere greeted me at the door, with the added touch of care that was immaculately given to every detail. The aroma from the kitchen activated my taste buds, as I stared mesmerized by the extensive menu. Finally, I decided to go for the “Diesel Sampler”. The brisket was so succulent that it melted in my mouth. The ribs fell from the bone with such flavor that no sauce was necessary—the pulled pork I used to sample the homemade sauces. As I was told, the sauces will soon be available in the local supermarkets (as I can attest to becoming a family staple). Needless to say, the sausage, chicken, and sides all met with the same flavorful standards. Ending my meal with a dessert, I enjoyed the peach cobbler and shared a nibble of key lime cake with my date. It was an enjoyable afternoon, sharing special time with loved ones in a loving environment, dining on food prepared by Papa Diesel, who loves to cook for folks, and making them feel at home!“

“So delicious! Excellent service from everyone, especially our server Shaun. He was so thorough and answered all our questions. The Cedar Key clams were to die for! I had the scallops and my husband had the burger for dinner- so freaking amazing ! I can’t say enough about this place! The owner was walking through the dining room checking on everyone, greeting everyone - thank you Carol for an exceptional experience!“

“Ordered Bolay for lunch through the app and was so excited to find a free Bol coupon in my rewards! Ordering was super simple and straightforward and the ready time was super fast, under 15 minutes! Since this was during the workday, I needed to be able to get there and back with my food quickly to fit into my 30 minute lunch break! I was thrilled when I walked in and my order was all ready, packaged with napkins and my silverware and still warm! It was delicious too! Great option for a healthy and fast meal!“

“Amazing Burgers and bartender. Kelly was amazing and one of the best burgers we have ever had in the area. Will definitely be back. Looking for a local area and I think we found it.“

“This location (Alafaya & Mitchell Hammock) is much better than the one in Winter Park!
Much friendlier staff, and my bowl looked much better 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
(Only thing I found odd - today I tried the bbq chicken, I didn’t expect it to be on the bone still) very tasty though“

“Went to the Lake Mary location with friends and family and had an excellent experience! Our server, Lauren, was so sweet and accommodating especially for my family member with celiac and several food intolerances. Lauren took the time to go over the mocktail ingredients with her, and even brought her the bottle from the bar so she could review the ingredients herself. This was so appreciated and truly above and beyond! Our food was delicious! We got a verity of burgers, the sweet potato fries were so yummy and my husband enjoyed his old fashioned. We were so engaged in conversation that I forgot to take pictures of the food! But the burgers were cooked and seasoned perfectly, everything came out correct and pretty fast. Will definitely be back to try more options.“

“The best of oviedo: my whole family loves it ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️✨✨✨“

“I like the nostalgia of the restaurant and store. I actually like the store better than the food!“

“EVERYTHING I have ever tried here is amazing! First experience was Thanksgiving for a party of 8. We literally got one of everything off the menu and let’s just say zero left overs! The empanadas are OUT OF THIS WORLD! The drink menu is Astrology themed and if you are into space/ astronauts the decor will excite you! There is even a couple selfie photo spots that are space themed. Desserts are TRULY special get the super nova it’s a whole experience! You will not be dissatisfied at all Truly a favorite spot!“

One of the most captivating features is the unique vault area, offering a distinctive space for both entertainment and relaxation. This area provides a cozy and intimate atmosphere, perfect for enjoying a quiet evening or a gathering with friends. The overall vibe of the place is wonderfully inviting and conducive to lingering. Service is attentive and knowledgeable, enhancing the overall experience. It's a wonderful spot to unwind and savor some exceptional vino. I highly recommend visiting this charming wine bar.“

“Amazing experience. It was our first time there for lunch and everyone was very nice. The onion rings are to die for. I had one of the new bowls and it hit the spot!

“Love this place kids love love their meals and the free ice cream 🍨“

“Had a great experience here over the weekend. The food was amazing, drinks were strong, and the service is worth writing home about. We started with the fruit/cheese platter and that would have filled us up by itself. I had the grilled chicken Caesar salad, which was one of the best I’ve had. Both drinks i ordered were strong and tasted great. Will definitely be back.“

“This was a suggestion by someone else that frequently goes here. I was not disappointed. It is limited on space but service was quick. Pancakes are a feature item! They have a signature drink menu but you can't customize or substitute. A downside is they were out of both drinks I wanted so I opted for the pomegranate bellini, it was ok. Being that its in Winter Park it is on the higher end of prices per item. I had leftovers which eased the cost. Will return“

“Oh my. It’s Friday, so it’s time for fish and chips. I was surprised; the best fish and chips in Florida. I didn’t even have to ask for vinegar. Perfect. Great mushy peas and the chips were nice and crispy. The family loved the bee sting burger too. Great work team, it’s obvious you have spent a lot of effort making sure things are top quality.“

“1/3/25…in town for one night, never been here, never heard of this place, just decided to try it. Stopped in around 5:00. The host asked if we had a reservation, we did not. She said “I’ll work you in” and seated us immediately at the bar. The bruschetta was the bomb! The fried chicken was totally out of this world! The service was outstanding! A must go to place!“

We look forward to visiting you again soon.“

Both meals were excellent, the fall off the bone ribs were very tasty and hubby said his philly cheese steak was on of the best ever had. Check them out and enjoy!“

Jenna the bartender makes the perfect drinks! This place is where we should all be spending our money at. Not corporate places. They truly care about our experience! We will definitely be back!!“

“When you step into the restaurant immediately you feel comfortable! Not a huge dining area but decent, this place has soul!! I ordered biscuits and gravy, with a side of cheese eggs and sausage! Hands down my favorite Breakfast Spot! I have been to many restaurants in Sanford for breakfast. I would put this one on Top!!! The biscuits taste like they are def homemade, and the prices are right, I normally finish my food but I was so stuffed. I left an entire essay about this because I'm very satisfied. Don't plan on eating anywhere else for breakfast!“

“Amazing experience...ask for Deric!! can not wait to return to this restaurant. It is so much more than a restaurant!“
