“Talking Pint has some great offers on some really good food and a great beer selection. We tried the new chicken lettuce wrap appetizer last night and they were amazing. Also, don't underestimated this place for a great steak. they had ribeye available last night and it was cooked perfectly and they use real charcoal grill. Outstanding flavor and such a reasonable price for a chargrilled steak! We have had most items on the menu and they are all well made and tasty. This is a great spot.“
“This place is the bomb diggity and it is by far one of the nicest businesses in the area. It's actually a destination spot. Come in to eat, you end up shopping. Come in to shop and you end up eating. They have you covered in all areas. The food is off the charts delicious.The staff is wonderful and the stopping is a unique experience.“
“After our flight in Atlanta was delayed and then cancelled, we were finally placed on the last flight out at 12:20am. I quickly made arrangements for a hotel in Brandon since we would be attending my Grandmother’s funeral there the next day. I first booked a holiday inn through my IHG app as a late check-in option since I was booking it after midnight. Since it was being booked so late, I wasn’t able to put in suggestions at the time of booking such as arrival time. I tried to call the hotel over and over before my flight took off and never could get anyone to pick up. Once we landed at 2am in Tampa, I tried again repeatedly to reach the hotel to talk to someone about our arrival time. However, since I booked the late check-in option at 12:30am, I assumed it would be okay. Once we arrived at 3am after picking up our rental car and driving 20 minutes, I quickly realized why nobody would pick up all night. The receptionist was on a personal call and seemed bothered by our arrival. He had a difficult time finding my reservation, and finally accepted my suggestion to use my confirmation number. Once he located my reservation, he told me it was cancelled because of my late arrival. I explained that I booked a late check-in merely 3 hours prior and tried to explain our situation. He then told me that he could reinstate my reservation, which seemed like an easy fix. I asked if we would be able to extend check-out so we could try to get more sleep before my grandmother’s funeral, and he quickly told me no, that he couldn’t do that. He then told me because he already did an audit for the night, that he would have to charge us for two nights, nearly $700, to stay for only 6 hours. He had absolutely no empathy that this was 3am and me, my husband, and our son had been traveling all day to try to get to this funeral. He took a bad day, and made it so much worse. I asked him to cancel the reservation and that we will just sleep in our rental car if we have to. Thankfully, I called courtyard Marriott 7 miles down the road and they were more than willing to accommodate us, including a military discount, which ended up being about half of the price as Holiday Inn, a late check-out, and offered their condolences. The gentleman working at the front desk showed empathy and prevented my family from sleeping in a car at 3am hours before a funeral. Everyone was pleasant and a breath of fresh air compared to what we encountered down the road at holiday inn express. Empathy goes a long way and because of this desk clerk, we are Marriott customers for life. Marriot for the win!“
“This restaurant scores a 10 out of 10 in my book!! My boyfriend and I went to experience the special called "Blind Date with Italian Food". This meal not only surpassed my expectations, but each bite was even more flavorful than the previous. We are definitely going to look into her cooking classes and this will be our new favorite date night location. I will be returning soon with my mother to treat her to these impressive Italian dishes. You can tell each dish is made from scratch with quality in mind, if you have not been then you're missing out.“
