“Yesterday my husband and I went with friends for an early dinner to celebrate Veterans Day. Chilis supplied a very nice free meal for our husbands. When we went to pay our bill, our waitress said some nice couple had already paid it for us...So nice that people still appreciate our veterans. Thanks so much to that generous couple, and thanks also to Chili's for appreciating our veterans.“

“Since discovering a gluten intolerance, this was my first experience dining out. I asked Krystle about gluten free options, and she brought me literature pertaining to all their allergens. I also have an allergy to raw carrots and celery (not very common). The manager Caroline personally brought my food out, and individual portions of blue cheese, to ensure that they were not touched by either carrots or celery. I must say, as someone with food allergies/intolerances, they did a fantastic job all the way around.“

“My wife and I have always enjoyed eating at Steak 'n Shake. We recently went there after they have made some good changes. Now, you order on kiosks and then they call you when your food is ready. We like it even better now. Do not go there without getting a milkshake. They are fabulous.“

“Crackers Island Grille- Cape Canaveral- 3-stars "Flawless execution will trump low-quality ingredients every time." -- The Big Boy "Where will I lunch today?", was my thought as I grabbed my random restaurant generator and headed towards the BBDO mobile. As the name scrawled across my screen, I saw I was heading up the coast to Cracker's Island Grille. Taking my time and enjoying the drive, I had time to reflect a bit on my job. Since I started this over two years ago, BBDO has grown by leaps and bounds topping out at over 14K followers across social media. I am extremely humbled by this and it steels me to continue forward. My GPS told me I had arrived and I found myself in front of a strip mall 1 mile north of the famous Ron Jon's Surf Shop and across from Golf N Gator. I arrived in the BBDO mobile at precisely 11:15 AM and the place was busy. Awaiting my turn, I glanced about the place and was quite taken in by the decor. They have a nice little island/surf theme going and this contributed to a very relaxed atmosphere. After a short wait, I was shown a table, handed a menu and told my server would be right with me. As packed as they were, I wondered what exactly that meant. It wasn't too long before a server approached my table and introduced herself as Brittany. Brittany was very prompt, charming and had our drink order back in no time at all. Along with the drink order, I also requested the Bouillabaisse and one order of the special of the day, Gator tacos (wondering if the meat was fresh based on the proximity of Golf N Gator). Brittany assured me this was not the case. I was sure this made the animal rights people happy, however, I was not. I have to say that first of all, Cracker's Bouillabaisse looked better on the menu than it did in front of me (see pictures for comparison). But, the smells wafting up were pure gourmand nirvana. With just the right amount of heat and all the seafood one could want, the flavors were complex, tantalizing and just a tad hot on the palate. The seafood seemed low quality (frozen, not fresh), but the execution was performed well. The accompanying bread was warm and slathered in garlic butter that added a nice compliment to the seafood stew. Dying to try something I never have before, I eagerly dug into the Gator tacos next. Wow. That is my professional opinion of these delightful tacos. Just, wow. Served on warm flour tortillas with fresh-cut tomatoes and cooked to perfection they were absolutely as delicious as they were unique. The meat was tender, juicy and extremely flavorful. The seasoning really got my taste buds dancing and there was just enough heat to make sure they were not only awake but stayed that way for the duration. The Gator tacos alone were worth the drive up the coast. Not that one needs an excuse for that. As I am sure my loyal readers know, I firmly believe that the only thing that matters in regards to a successful slop house and one that fails is execution, not location, not parking, not service, not interior design (though those all certainly help). If the food is good, as I've said before, you could open a food shack in the middle of the Okefenokee Swamp and people would flock to it. Make no mistake about it, Cracker's is not a fine dining establishment, they use low-quality ingredients, but man oh man you can tell the chef/cook cares about what is slung forth from his kitchen. The execution of all the items I had was done flawlessly, and everything was delicious, especially the Gator Tacos, those were unreal, proving once again what I've said ad nauseum, execution, execution, execution! The Big Boy says, "when in the area and in the mood for some cheap eats and seafood, head on over to Cracker's Island Grille, you won't be disappointed!" #iamthebigboy #bigboydiningout“

“We are regulars to Muddies on Sunday am and sometimes during the week. Today I had the shrimp basket for breakfast. I saw it last Sunday and thought I would have it today. I was not disappointed at all! Great breakfast item. We love all the staff, friendly, thoughtful and quick to smile. We love Carrie, Debbie and MS Bonnie. The owners John and Debbie are always quick to please no matter how busy they may bee. thank you for wonderful breakfast or lunches. We appreciate everyone's hard work. Thank you everyone.“

“Jess and Katie are the best bartenders. Best sliders ever.“

“A cool aspect about this place is the the building is a large tiki hut that gives off a real island atmosphere. The staff is really friendly and quick to serve you. The food is good, better than other food in the area. The price makes sense for the quality and quantity. All around good experience“

“We had a real late lunch and stopped in Fish Camp for some snacks about 7:30pm. Its my first time here and it was great. The restaurant is clean and staff are really welcoming.

“We had an amazing brunch for Mothers Day! 11 of us and everyone loved their food and service was great!“

“Today we came in and the host was not the brightest! My elder mother walks with a walker and the host took her down the most narrow path and watched as she hit every chair and then didn't even orfer to help or move them. Of course this instantly upset us all. Then she left the menus on the table and walked away as my mother was still walking up the ramp! We sat down and the waiter came over, Marcus P he was absolutely amazing 👏 listened to my mother as she told him how embarrassing that was for her and how upset she was and he just listened and completely went ABOVE AND BEYOND FOR OUR TABLE. HE WAS VERY FRIENDLY AND TOOK GREAT CARE OF US. HE CHANGED THE OUT COME OF OUR VISIT. THANK YOU MARCUS 😊 🙏. ALSO THANK YOU TO THE COOK AS WELL YOU PREPARED THE FOOD QUICKLY AND IT CAME OUT TASTY. THANK YOU.“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Pub Americana, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience. I ordered the French Burger, which was absolutely amazing. The combination of caramelized onions and goat cheese created a rich and flavorful profile that I couldn't get enough of.

My wife opted for the Hangover Burger, and she was equally impressed. It featured a fried egg, bacon, and a delightful avocado aioli that elevated the dish to another level. She remarked on how good it was, and I couldn't agree more.

Our friends mentioned that they make all of their burger patties in-house, and if that's true, you can really tell! The meat in both burgers was incredibly tender and flavorful, showcasing the quality of their ingredients.

To top it all off, we enjoyed parmesan fries served with a jalapeño ranch on the side. This unique spin on the classic fries added a delicious twist that complemented our meals perfectly.

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the food and the atmosphere at Pub Americana. I will definitely be going back for more!“

“This was our first time at this Miller’s location. Jared, the manager took my food allergies very seriously, and made the accommodations, including having the kitchen staff change gloves, use separate utensils, and made everyone aware of the concerns about accidental contact with my allergens. The food was delicious and the experience was very positive. We will definitely come back here again the next time we are in the area visiting.“

“My favorite course to play when I’m back home“

“Mark and Diane made our dining experience so wonderful. And we heard from one of the chefs—came to Our table to make sure all Was well Such a wonderful evening“

“My wife and I went out for a quick dinner and stopped in to Seaside Florida Grill. We had a very early dinner like 515 so the restaurant was not crowded and to our surprise, we were pleasantly surprised with the quality of the appetizers, the soup and the main dish. We both had one of their specialty drinks as well as a martini and they were really well made with a lot of flavor. The key lime sea scallops were cooked to perfection and were at a good temperature. The lobster bisque was a big bowl which I ended up eating most of it, but didn’t know how large the portion was going to be so I only ate what I knew I could finish my main meal. I had the surf and turf and it was really tasty and my wife had the chipotle muscles. We will definitely be back and try to pick a time where the atmosphere is a little bit more lively. The server was also very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. Didn’t wanna leave her out. She was great.“

“We have a wild two year old who makes eating out difficult. We heard this restaurant was kid friendly with a water area for littles to play so we decided to check it out while we were out in the area. We had a great experience! My son could have played there in the water all day if we let him. We sat outdoors in a shady area and watched him play as we ate our lunch. Win win! I got the chicken Philly (minus the mushrooms and marinara) and it was great! My husband got the buffalo chicken wrap and also enjoyed his. Both were much bigger than we had expected! We probably didn’t need to order sides (fries and onion rings) or could have shared one side between the two of us but that’s okay! We know for next time! My two littles got the kids chicken tenders and grilled cheese. I’m a big sweet tea girl but kind of picky. The tea was good! 🙌 Our server was also great and very friendly!“

“The prime rib sandwich was great!“

“Beautiful restaurant with ocean view. Went for Sundays boozy brunch! Drinks, food and service were all excellent! Can’t wait to return!“

“We just went for the first time and will definitely be back. The food was superb, the staff outstanding and we met Shawn one of the owners and he is great. We will be telling all our friends and look forward to future visits!!! Thanks for a great dinner. Rick and Rae“
