“Great service Great food. Real food that’s so flavorful the way it was intended. The Smoothies clearly separates themselves from competitors with no residue and sandy feeling on your tongue after eating. I like to rate food not only by its taste but how it makes you feel afterwards and let me tell you they get 5 stars for both. I’ve had a lot of smoothies and this is by far the best I’ve had and they have so many varieties. I thought I would never find a go to spot but I believe I found it in Fruit Splash.
I can’t wait to get back and try a new flavor believe me when I say you wont be disappointed .“

“My husband and I went yesterday to celebrate our 19th marriage anniversary, and were highly impressed with everything from the moment we walked in. We loved sitting at the curved booth too! Our server Larry was the best! He made sure my drinks were just the way I wanted… And they don’t short you alcohol- just saying! Lol, my husband has a higher tolerance than I and mentioned it. My husband got the whole fried red snapper while I created my own little sampler out of entrees. They were the oxtail empanadas, crab cake sliders and salmon bites. It was all scrumptious! I tried my husband’s red snapper and one of his shrimp- YESSSSS!! 🤤😋🙂‍↕️ I even made sure to bring even the sauces home with my little bit of left-overs. Looking forward to Father’s Day brunch next month. I’ve already made reservations. 🙂‍↕️ Thank you to all of the staff, even to the ones we didn’t meet who made our experience that much better.“

“This small grocery store has a surprisingly large and welcoming atmosphere, offering both takeout and dine-in options. It's my go-to place for hard-to-find Spanish and West Indian ingredients, including spices, vegetables, and canned goods that the larger supermarkets often lack. I also appreciate their buffet featuring a delicious blend of American and West Indian cuisine. I always make sure to grab a bag of their flavorful beef patties and coco bread before I leave.“

“Shout out to Yummo Bucko! A party of 4 we all spent close to $100, please know a 15% gratutity is added to each person no matter the size of group. This place will fill up fast (small and quaint), opens at noon on Sunday. I checked online to see if reservations could be set up and didnt see where that was an option, upon entering we were asked if we had a reservation. Even though we didnt we were told to select wherever we wanted to sit.

Food ordered: Sampler - grits where stiff and saudage links appeared and tasted as if straight out of (brown & serve box)

Fried shrimp - seasoned well and fried perfect

Eggs Benedict (2x) - one with fried, one scrambled it comes with two crab cakes and 2 lamb chops (lamb chops were supposed to be grilled medium well. Lamb chops was a new born baby lamb chop and so tough to bite)

Side order of original French Toast - ( one piece of bread cut in half $6.00)

Lamb chop brunch meal - comes with 3 lamb chops, smothered in brown gravy (I missed that part on the menu, I just wanted med well grilled lamb chops which came out the same as above. The menu stated mashed potates came with; however received cheesy grits with lobster meat. NO on the grits and the lobster was OK).

Lemon Pepper wings to go - brought order out and gave to the wrong person with no bag, just plopped down and walked away.

4 Mimosas which was ok.

Will we try this place again??? - Possibly on another day, just not BRUNCH.“

“🌟 An Unforgettable Culinary Experience at Canvas Social Cuisine 🌟

I cannot say enough about the food at Canvas Social Cuisine — it was absolutely breathtaking. Each bite was a masterclass in flavor, presentation, and passion. The chef isn’t just cooking — he’s creating an exquisite, memorable experience that stays with you long after the meal ends.

Every dish I tried was perfectly balanced, fresh, and full of soul. This is not just food — this is art on a plate. I’ve already told my friends and family, “You HAVE to try this place” — but I’ll add one condition: the chef MUST be there. His touch, his creativity, his presence — it makes all the difference. I need his food, and no one else’s will do.

If you’re lucky enough to catch him in the kitchen, prepare yourself. You’re about to taste something truly special.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – I’d give more stars if I could.“
