“Friendly and fast service, despite missing my lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and mayonnaise (order was mistaken for plain). The waitress was happy and quick to retrieve it from the kitchen.The place is extremely clean, despite the bathroom looking rough (but perfectly clean) and being across the stone and dirt parking lot.The burger was cooked just as I ordered and fantastic! Tater tots, too!Go on a nice dry day and sit in a booth overlooking the lake, and enjoy a warm and inviting atmosphere ?“
“Been to Gator Joes many times over the years and for atmosphere it never disappoints. Visitors to my home like to go back there to read the funny things written on the overhead wood beams & to see the alligator “hand”! The setting on Lake Weir is great! Although the parking is nearly always inadequate, the service is a bit slow, and the food is above average but not excellent, this place remains on my go-to list because of its lakeside location and quirky atmosphere. Also has music inside at times. I like eating outside on the terrific deck.“
“Krystal was our server and was extremely personable, accommodating, and friendly! We had a very relaxing lunch overlooking the water. Tequila Sunrises, Spanish catfish, and shrimp creole were all amazingDietary restrictions: Gluten free husband and I don't eat beef or chicken and there are plenty of options“
“Our favorite place to eat lunch and dinner.Food is always delicious and the service is excellent. Our waiter this time was Gifroy and he was top notch! It was Valentine's Day so he had a red blazer with a red tie. Aubrey the manager came by our table and we told her we liked Gifroy's jacket n tie and he was excellent. She said Gifroy wears a different jacket for each holiday! Thank you for making our Valentine lunch extra special.“
“Parking: The wife and I often go late evenings, the servers are always cordial and Buick to seat you. The food is always good hot not to hot you can’t eat. Drinks are good I like the old bay wings , always asked for more seasoning. Would like to see offer where you can have half and half choice for flats and drum. Get some real hot sauce yawl!Mulberry over all yawl the bomb!!????“
“Excellent food and the menu has a good variety to choose from.They also have a full liquor bar if you like to have a drink with your meal or a mimosa with your breakfast! They run the full gamut of breakfast,lunch,& dinner and i would recommend them all. I would price it at above average cost but you pay for what you get and it is all good so enjoy! The waitresses and jenny who waits and bartends is the absolute best! They actually now have extended there hours by now opening up at 7:00 on saturday and sundays currently! So thats good news for on the weekends! Metro consistently has great service and the employees are all so helpful and treat you like your there best friend! Still great food and you get it fast! Great breakfast place and the workers are Great always make you feel comfortable(Jenny,Jackie,Angie)! Theres ben some changes at the metro lately our bartendress jenny is no longer there. Who really liked but now weve got Angie bartending & waiting on us and she does a great job always smiling and happy! Our favorite bartendress/waitress Angie always takes care of us the best. My 98 yr old WW2 veteran father calls her angel instead of angie. She knows exactly what we all drink and is getting them ready for us as we walk in the door! The food is always top notch whether its breakfast,lunch or dinner! All the other workers there are also very helpful(jackie)and always have a smile on there face!RR“
“They were busy and we were seated in the bar area after a 15 minute wait. Joyce the bartender took good care of us. The 6.99 Smashed burger w/ fries was hot and excellent for the price. The salad bar looked good too. We go to this location because it's a really good Ruby Tuesday and the service was great?.“
“It was fast, good, and welcoming. We came with our 8 month old and asked for a high chair and everything happened smoothly. A lot of restaurants put family’s in corners in the back and I appreciated that not happening.Only gave 4 stars cause I never got a refill and waited for the check a bit. “
“Little place just a couple tables. Built for take out. I like local businesses and this is def the kind you support. Fantastic food. Best garlic knots in a 6 hr drive. Wings are full of flavor. Pizza the crust is a lil doughy. If that’s your type then it’s great. I haven’t had the thin crust but I’ll be trying that next. They put a bunch of toppings on. They don’t skimp. I had a three topping and it come to us steaming out of the box. Bunch of toppings . And a dusting of parm to finish. I’m not a huge crust eater but I finished all mine. Got a smores cookie and it’s too good. Pricing is very fair. My mom got a supreme the veggies on it had a good char from the oven. They have weekly specials. Worth driving out of the way for.“
“Food was great, sever was nice, the only thing is, I left something there by accident, called and ask if the server would call me back about it, this was Saturday morning, still no phone call. I know it's my fault, but you think common courtesy would be nice. Now I'm forced to call back.“
“Checked out this busy restaurant on a Sunday. Live music (the duo was not good, couldn't keep a beat!) on the patio. Food was delicious!! Service was excruciatingly slow!!! We had finished our first round of drinks before our order was taken, thats a bit too long....we were considering leaving. The other not good part....we were seated on the patio and two ladies kept trying to smoke!!! There were signs posted on the tables and yet these two old hags would pull out cigarettes every time no servers were around!!! I feel they should have been made to leave, since they were "caught" more than once by staff!!!“
“First time trying Riccardo's. The food was missing some flavor. We had eggplant parmesan and shrimp scampi. Food was prompt and hot. Must have been a one-off for us, but we will try again. The service was great, and food was priced reasonably.“
“Food was great. Service, once seated, was good. The wait to be seated was extreme enough that after 10 minutes of being ignored the couple in front of us walked out, while we stayed the course for almost 10 more minutes. Can't say for sure, but it didn't seem to be a lack of staff at the front of the house. Decent atmosphere.“
“Like the waterfall flowing into the swimming pool. Swimming pool is for priority members only. Nice restaurant. Country music is played some nights. Challenging 18 hole Golf course from multiple tee boxes. Mature golf course has some of the tightest fairways to hit from the tee boxes in The Villages, FL.“
“This is in a retirement community so I recommend you call for reservations as there isn’t much seating available and the residents that live there seem to make reservations so it fills up fast. We were lucky and got a table. The staff is absolutely amazing. I got the chicken Alfredo and did not like it. The chicken tasted awful. I am willing to try the food again in the future though.“
“I had a great Friday night experience with my daughters recently. Our server was Mo and he was attentive, genuine, and spaced out our appetizer and meals perfectly. He was even playful with my 3 year old who occasionally got out of her seat to dance. The manager, Steve checked on us and the tables around us to ensure everyone was enjoying their experience. Our meals were delicious, as always.The food and service at Miller's is always our favorite and, without skipping a beat, our first choice when deciding where to dine out.“
“I must confess that I was eager to get to know this wonderful place! I had previously heard about it, I was very impressed by the warmth of the place, when you go up the stairs and open the door the feeling is cozy! We had a reservation and went straight to a private room! We receive immediate attention! The girl who helped us was great! The food is according to the local! Good starter Scallops along with a wonderful soup! The next dish was well presented and flavored according to the choice! The dessert was also appropriate! I was expecting an explosion of flavors…..but it was still really good! The bartender has a lot of experience and knows how to do his service very well! Thanks for that Macallan and my wife's cocktails!!! Without a doubt, it would be a restaurant that I would return to whenever I am invited, since it is only by invitation or by membership!“
“First time experience at the Anchor. I've seen their posts on Facebook and finally made it over. Outside was packed so we sat at the bar. You can tell they were short staffed but i certainly wont fault them for that, because everyone there was working their booties off. Excellent burgers and drinks! I will definitely be going there again.“
“Shared a pleasant afternoon. Our server took great care of us. We went for the Sunday special, then my wife spotted the fish tacos at the next table. Our server told us upfront that burgers are cooked medium well. They still turned out juicy and flavorful. We will definitely be back mid week! Thank you for the consistent quality and service.“
“We have enjoyed eating at the Longhorn. My wife enjoys the steak and shrimp combos and I prefer chicken or an occasional hamburger. Because this restaurant is in the Villages we typically will call ahead, 1/2 hour before arrival and this seats us a bit faster. The servers are always friendly and eager to please the customers. A manager always comes around to make sure the meal is good and cooked how you want it. We like that it is quiet and relaxing. Highly recommended! Enjoy!“
“The outdoor bar has plenty of seating but is close to other tables. I enjoyed that because it allowed me to socialize with others easily! The water view is an added bonus. Jersey Frank was the musician, and he played a wide variety of upbeat familiar songs. It was very enjoyable! On both visits, the food was good, but the service was top-notch!“
“Highly recommend! We stopped in for breakfast and was not disappointed. I like my bacon extra crispy (pretty much burnt) and they are the only restaurant to actually get it crispy to my liking. Everything was so tasty and the waitresses were friendly and very knowledgeable of the menu. Clean and cute atmosphere. This will become our new weekend spot. Added bonus that it’s close to our house.“
“Good place. Would have given 5 stars but getting in to the restaruant is painful. Its in a gated community. You have to insert drivers license in gate and maybe it will recongize it to open gate. Or maybe it wont and you have to wait for someone to come out and let you into the community. Not cheer's fault but does make me not want to go again“
“I stumbled upon this cozy restaurant one evening, looking for a place that offered both great food and a lively atmosphere, and I was not disappointed. The moment I walked in, the warmth and charm of the place struck me. It felt like stepping into a friend's inviting dining room, complete with the buzz of conversation and laughter. The menu caught my eye with its array of American classics, each with a unique twist that promised a culinary adventure.The live entertainment was the cherry on top. It turned what could have been just another dinner into a truly memorable experience, adding a vibrancy that's hard to find elsewhere. The staff were incredibly welcoming, treating me like an old friend rather than just another customer. My meal was delightful, from the first bite to the last, and the ambiance made me linger longer than I had planned. It was the perfect blend of casual comfort and refined dining, making me eager to return. This place isn't just about eating out; it's about enjoying every moment, surrounded by good vibes and even better company.“
“Always so noisy (loud) inside. Would have loved to sit outside so we could hear each other, but there were no tables available. I always get the nut & berry salad, but bring my own dressing since they discontinued the greek dressing that was so delicious. The salad is good, but would be better if they chopped the greens (greens are very fresh) as it is difficult to cut in the bowl that is used.“
“The Bistro at the 19th Hole exceeded my expectations with its exceptional service and delectable cuisine. The staff was friendly and attentive, enhancing the overall dining experience. Our server was knowledgeable, providing helpful insights into the menu. The food was a culinary delight, showcasing a commitment to quality ingredients and expert preparation. This bistro is a top choice for a memorable meal, and I'm eager to return for more culinary delights.“
“Great place, to eat! I live the fact of how aware the staff is. Even on busy breakfast days, when the waitresses are literally running with a smile. Every waitress stopped to check that everything was perfect going to customers. I have never seen such a true dedication to patrons. Whether it was eat in or take out.....each waitress checked the order was correct! This business is well worth the visit! Food was awesome, everyone was very pleasant and welcoming.“
