“As a first time visitor to Florida, I found The Q Too by asking a perfume rep at the local mall as they were preparing to close. I could not have received a more perfect recommendation. The service was top notch. The ice cream, well, let us just say I have had few better. The quality was far beyond the pale: taste, presentation, and options (both ice cream and toppings). I was in the company of two precious young ladies and it was my eldest granddaughter, Mady, who was the first to notice the very special history of this business. May their business and community involvement continue for many years to come. Thank you for creating these special flavors for making memories. To all visitors to the area: it seems quaint and simple on the outside, which belies the scrumptious treats you will discover. <3 Tari Lee and family.”

“Just wanted to share this picture with you guys! The gold at the end of the rainbow!😂🌈🌈”

“Good service and Big Mac great🤣🤣🤣”

“Sweet Scoops is a Port Charlotte treasure. The homemade ice cream is genuinely delicious — rich, creamy, and you can taste that it's the real deal, not the stuff from a tub. The malts, shakes, and slushies are just as good.

The customer service is great too. Friendly staff, quick even when they're slammed — and they get slammed. On a weekend evening the drive-thru line regularly stretches out to Route 41 and serveral cars deep, which tells you everything you need to know.

Worth the wait, every single time.”

“Was so excited to try the jerk chicken fries. They were sooooo good too UNTIL 3rd bite. I pulled a hair on my fork!!! Taste wise they do their thing. Keep the wigs n weaves under a net ladies if yall can’t stay well kept. That’s nasty as hell! Big turn off. May try again down the line but won’t be back soon”

“First time there and met Sara our server immediately. We were early for lunch and the first customers of the day. We went with Sara’s suggestion having Gina’s personal pizza, which was plenty for 2. Also reasonably priced $16. We added Pasta Fagioli with 2 spoons so we could taste it. We were surprised by a generous bowl and so delicious. Sara also brought us focaccia bread and dipping oil mixed with spices. Bread was warm and the combination delicious! We took half the pizza home.
We will most definitely be back!!”

“Absolutely the most DEPLORABLE take out experience of my entire life!!! NOT EVEN EDIBLE FOOD!!!! My husband's chili came as an emptied cup that looked like food was previously stored in and dumped out. Not to mention myself and my grandmother ordered medium steaks and they came BURNT. My grandma actually indicated that she thinks the steak that she ordered SMELLED!!. Mine was supposed to be the chimichuri entree and i dont even know what i received? When my husband returned to the restaurant, the manager was rude and acted as if the situation did no warrant a full refund and indicated "it's only food"!!! As a local business owner, I do everything I can to solve issues so it does not come down to leaving a negative review as I know how negativity impactful it can be to a company. However, we spent $150 on dinner, received completely inexcusable food, and was pretty much told it's not a big deal".”

“Joseph's Deli is my go to place for an awesome breakfast and lunch. The food is always great and the service is always pleasent, friendly and professional. Can't say anything negative at all about this "diamond the rough" in Port Charlotte, Floirda.”

“Had lunch with four of my friends on 5/29/30. The order was mixed up. It was takin care of immediately. The manager came to the table and took care of the situation. Everything turned out fine. I apologize to the staff if I seamed upset. I have a habit of excreting myself after 82 years on the planet. Our meals were great!!! I'll be back....Hope the tip was adequate?”

“If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! This food truck is hands-down one of the best food spots I’ve ever been to. I’m obsessed with their Chicken and Mac & Cheese Bowl, it’s comfort food perfection in every bite. The creamy mac, the perfectly seasoned chicken, and that sweet, tangy mango sauce? Unreal. Every flavor hits just right, and you can tell it’s made with love and real care. What makes it even better is Mike, the owner. He’s one of those rare people who’s truly down to earth, he remembers faces, orders of regulars, takes time to chat, and you can tell he genuinely cares about his customers and his family. The kind of guy who runs his business with heart, not just hustle. You won’t find better quality or friendlier service anywhere. It’s the kind of food that makes your day better, every single time. If you haven’t tried it yet, you’re seriously missing out!”

“Absolutely delicious and one of our favorite places!”

“BEST WHITE CHICKEN CHILLI SOUP IN THE WORLD. Order it early or you’ll miss out.”

“Holy cow, D’Vines is amazing! I’ve driven past so many times and finally stopped in. The wine is great, the charcuterie board was delicious, and Maureen gave the best service ever!! I’m not joking… do yourself a favor and drop in. It’s a fantastic date-night venue and, apparently, have live music, too. It was a Wednesday when we went… the jukebox was fun.”

“Returned after several years. Food consistently good, especially the Value Baskets and their Custard ice creams. Enjoyed their curds on a return trip Try them ..you'll love them!”

“Since everything sounded so good and I couldn’t decide what to order. I had the Stanley Sampler. Kielbasa with onions and sauerkraut, a cabbage roll and 3 pierogies. I chose to try 3 different pierogies. They were all very good. But since I am a big jalapeño fan. That one was my favorite! Everything on the sampler platter was delicious!! Including the dipping sauce. I hope Grace’s Taste of Poland returns to Tropia again in the future. Thanks for a yummy dinner tonight! 😋 Holly”

“Very impressed with this Dairy Queen store location. Dairy Queen is a top favorite with my wife and kids so I have been to many locations in MN and WI. I had never been to this location so called to confirm they sold cakes. The customer service on the phone was upbeat and friendly. The service at the store when I arrive was equal to the call (friendly and helpful). While I waited for the cake (very quick) to be personalized, I observed great and efficient service for each customer in line. Great store!! Until next time.”

“Great people - great place to stop in on two wheels. If you're into the biker lifestyle this is a one of a kind place to visit. No food outdoor atmosphere dirt parking lot.”

“I have never been treated to such great customer service in my life. To start there was this lady yelling at this manager in a black shirt. I later found out his name was Chris. She was beyond a Karen and the way he handeled her astonished me. She threw something at him and everything and he never said a cross word to her. He made she all the customers including her were happy. I wanted to hire this guy for my business because you don’t find good customer service these days. Also, he did outstanding in working hard and going out of his way for fresh food for me. I’m new to the area and I will be telling all my friends to come eat at five guys! Thanks, RG”

The staff is friendly, efficient, and clearly enjoys what they do. There’s always something going on during the week, which keeps things fun and interesting whether its catching the game or trivia night.

We will go back but people behind in the kitchen really need to pay attention to what the heck they are preparing for people.!! was really a bummer !!”
