“Thank you so much for making our work lunches amazing! Can't wait for our next hot chicken sandwiches! -The Team at Orlando Recycles“

“Food is very yummy. Chimken mmmmmm. Pretty much anything you can get is good. The grilled chicken the fried chicken the lemonade the shakes the fries. All super yum zone. The service is fine. Quick and pleasant. Nothing amazing but doesn't need to be. The atmosphere is eh. Eating inside is only good if you're with friends. Otherwise it's a little sad watching AtmosphereTV show AI generated clips on your own.“

“I started going to Athena’s when my son and family first moved to Maitland over 17 years ago. Since 2018 I went there at least once a week. Having to move back to Connecticut, I miss their chicken so much. My grandchildren know when I come to visit that is the first place I stop to eat. Their chicken is always so delicious and moist. I wish they would open a place here ❤️“

“Excellent Service and Personal“

“Delicious! So happy they opened on the west side of town.“

“They have the best chicken. This is my new favorite place for chicken sliders. The dry rub they use is awesome. I love extra hot stuff and I can't even do the medium rub at Dave's Hot Chicken. I get the mild. The kale slaw is awesome. So is Dave's signature sauce.“

“Amazing food like genuinely generational, only complaints is it’s so overpriced like holy 😭 and two no refills on slushies? Like cmon talk about price gouging. Besides that one of the best chicken places I’ve been to.“

“This was our first time trying Dave's. We tried two tenders, fries, and a mozzarella stick, heat level varying from mild to hot. The tenders and mozzarella stick were amazing, possibly the best quality chicken tenders we've ever had. We were a bit disappointed with the heat level. Everything tasted delicious but none of it was spicy, there was more sweet for sure. Still delicious and we’ll definitely be back and will have to try the hotter options.“

“We had a wonderful first-time experience at Saucy KFC! The service was friendly, the atmosphere was welcoming, and everything was handled with care. A special shout-out to Ashley, the manager on duty, who was extremely attentive and made sure everything was going well. Great customer service really makes a difference. I’ll definitely be back! 🍗👏“

“Very friendly staff!! Went the extra mile for grandkids. Although no booster seats, we made due.??great food!!“

“Our family of 5 flew in from Alaska to spend Thanksgiving holiday with family and our first stop was Chick-fil-a. Our favorite sandwich is the grilled chicken sandwich but it has to have the honey roasted bbq sauce. When we pulled into the drive-thru we were so sad to find out they were out of HRBBQ. We told Janiah this was our first stop and we’d been looking forward to our visit all day. A few minutes later she can back to our car with a baggie of hrbbq. We were so excited and made a wonderful end to a long day of travel. THANKS JANIAH!!“

“Today was my FIRST but not my last visit.
The food was OUTSTANDING!
Thank you for my FREE drumstick as a first-time customer (it was delicious).
I had the Buffalo Slaw Chicken Sandwich (it was ok, I didn't like the Slaw on it but the chicken was excellent, fries & a Mango juice also yummy).
Thank you, I will be returning.“

“We can't say enough great things about Lili and her team at Huey Magoo's and their exceptional customer service! We order catering for our events often, and every experience with Lili has been outstanding. Our orders are always ready exactly on time, everything is accurate, the food is fresh and delicious, and it's always a huge hit!

Lili and her team, Audrey, Tabias, and Jacob, consistently go above and beyond to make sure every detail is perfect! They offer great suggestions when we place our order, help carry our large catering orders to the car, and truly make the entire process easy and stress-free.

We highly recommend Huey Magoo's for both catering and everyday meals. You won't be disappointed!“

“Food is great! But please tell me how do you expect patrons to throw their trash away? This is such a huge flaw in your dinning room.“

“Family was visiting from out of town last week, so we placed a large to‑go order at the Pollo Tropical in Sanford. When it came time to pay, our debit card kept getting rejected, even after the staff tried multiple registers and attempted to split the payment.

We were about to remove items to pay in cash when the manager, Pedro, explained there was a software glitch preventing debit card payments over $50. He immediately stepped in and discounted our order by 35%, which allowed us to get everything we needed.

With a little patience and understanding, what could have been a frustrating situation turned into a positive experience. Our whole family was extremely grateful for Pedro’s help and the Sanford team’s effort to make things right.“

“The service is great! Employees are very friendly and the food tastes fantastic!“

“I ordered a whole chicken at the drive-thru and was given a dry and burnt chicken it was so bad that no one could eat it. I cannot understand how can you treat a customer that way.“

“The service is great! Employees are very friendly and the food tastes fantastic!“

“Let me tell you something, this chicken is the best in Orlando I don't care about Raising Cane's I don't care about Zaxby's I care about none of that. The chicken is always fresh, the tenders are always enormous, and I swear outside of champy's up in Tennessee, this is the best chicken. Rachel at the register was also really nice.
Pleeease bring back Sweet n sour sauce😅“

“Bella at Chicken Salad Chick was absolutely amazing! She was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and genuinely went above and beyond to help me. You can tell she really cares about making sure customers have a great experience, and her positive attitude made my visit that much better.

Great customer service can be hard to come by, and Bella deserves recognition for providing it. Chicken Salad Chick is lucky to have her on the team. Thank you, Bella!“

“We drove 30 minutes just to try Krispy Krunchy Chicken, and it was absolutely worth it! On top of that, it’s HALAL and made fresh to order, piping hot every time. The flavor and crunch were spot on. They also offer Mexican Halal food, which we can’t wait to try on our next visit!“

“I come through the drive-thru almost every morning and the staff greets me by name at this point. Everyone who works here has been really friendly to me over the years, and I see the same faces which tells me people actually like working here.

A couple times there’s been a mix-up with my order and when I came back they went above and beyond to make it right. That says a lot about how this location is run.“

“Man this chick is the bomb

“went in monday evening. myself and my son were 3rd in line. all 3 parties walked in at the same time. we all stood there for 15 mins before be acknowledged. the guy in front of me walked out. the guy behind the counter (dark wavey hair and glasses) would not even make eye contact with any of us or even say we will be right with you. i watch him fill about 7 online orders while we were being ignored by him. after about 15 mins the female manager came out and spoke to us and apologized that they are very under staffed and drowning in online orders. the manager did a great job and made it up to us in line for having to wait so long and refused to tip for me because she said they did not earn it with there service. hats off the this young lady for taking accountability and control of the situation. it's hard to find accountability these days. SEEING a pattern that the owner only responds to positive reviews.“

“I have ordered catering for our office of 100 many MANY times from this CFA location, and I am impressed by the service every single time. We order breakfast and lunch for our staff multiple times per year and the communication and efficiency from this location is unmatched. The manager is in constant contact from the moment I place my order, and the staff who delivers the food is kind courteous and efficient every single time. I will continue to order from here as long as they'll let me!“

“the food is good, but the only reason I keep going back and driving 30 minutes there is the service from Ms Christa“

“I stopped to get me some food and had to use the 🚻. Man, I have issues using public 🚻, but this one was actually clean, with toilet seat covers.
Nonetheless, my food 🥗 was fresh. The staff was friendly. The space was clean.“

“I was traveling through Sanford and saw this Gem! I can’t believe the fresh and tasty food with great specials like 10nuggets for $5.55! Staff were great and really care about their customers. This will be my go to stop for Krispy Krunchy Chicken!“

“Really great Chinese food. I’m not in the area a lot but it is sometimes worth it to plan a shopping trip in the area. I’ve tried orange chicken, chicken wings, and the boneless spare ribs so far and both were delicious. I appreciate the service too. The gentleman is always pleasant. Food is always fresh and made to order.“

“Yesterday 9/24/26 around 12:45pm-1:45pm, I experienced Josh and his wonderful godly employees worked with such diligence and respect for their customers, no matter their age. I had to thank them, for a job well done before I left the restaurant! I arrived at 12:30pm, for lunch, while eating I saw about seventy-five to a hundred teenagers (our future leaders) flowing in right up until I left around 1:55pm. Josh and his crew, serve them with the same grace and pleasure as I experienced. I was greatly pleased to see that level of dedication to service and honor to our next future leaders! I want to thank Josh and everyone that work at Maitland Summit restaurant, continue to serve as Jesus served, He see you and will reward your labor of love.“

“I can’t lie, I’ve been to this Popeyes three times in the past month 😂 The deal definitely makes it worth it, but honestly it’s the people here that keep making me want to come back.

This place is always clean, the food is fresh, delicious and comes out fast, and the employees are genuinely so sweet. If there’s ever anything wrong, they’re quick to fix it without making you feel like you’re bothering them.

And Kim, the manager, is seriously a breath of fresh air when it comes to management. She’s warm, genuine and you can tell that energy carries over to the people working with her.

Honestly, if I wasn’t counting calories I’d probably come here twice a day 😂

Y’all are doing a great job. ❤“

“For essentially being gas station food, I honestly like Krispy Krunchy fried chicken. As long as you get it fresh, it always has a nice crunch to it with juicy chicken inside. A bit overly salty and could use some other spices, but all in all I like it. They tossed in some sort of biscuit thing with my chicken, but it was hard as a rock and inedible.“
