“BRIAN S. is the man to see if you want a remarkable experience! First time at the location. Attentive, optimistic, friendly, and his work ethic was above standard! From the knowledge of the menu, to the detail and recommendations, the refills, and efficient on time. Atmosphere is a good set up. The food came out really good! Even when we could finish it, he brought a TO GO cup, the boxes, and additional items in case that were so precise and helpful! Awesome experience! We can’t wait to come back and we’ll highly recommend BRIAN S. And this location to friends and family!“

“I met my friend here and the food is pretty good, our appetizers were great, we had the big combo app since we were both starving and by the time we finished that we couldn't eat much of our dinner, my Friend had the fish and chips, with a Caesar dinner salad, & I had the parmesan chicken penne with bruschetta tomatoes and a fresh garden salad, I really liked it
I had to get most of it to go but The few bites I had were quite good. It was Roughly $35 a person but that also included appetizers drinks & side salads, so not bad price wise The service was great so Thank you to our Server Amanda for that. The restaurant was lively & a little noisy but that's normal for any Applebee's. Overall a good dining experience. We will be back.“

“I've been in Florida for 3 years and have never set foot in a Culver's. I've wanted to but never have. Today was the day. ?

It was a great experience. The reataraunt is a lot bigger than I thought and very clean. The staff greeted us immediately upon arrival and had great customer service. They were all friendly and eager to answer queations.

I ordered the chicken sandwhich with onion rings and my son a bacon burger with fries. Everything arrived to the table hot and was really good.

The only thing I regret was not grabbing the pint of custard in my hand on the way out. I was too full! Highly recommend.“

“Everything I've had here is good. The wings are the best in town. The 3 pepper sauce is my favorite but I've tried quite a few of them and they are all good. The shoestring fries are perfectly crispy and everything you want in a fry. Don't forget the cheese curds, they are too good not to add to every order!“
