    mushroom swiss burger
    Denise W.

    Melissa J was our excellent server. We finished watching survivor and they made the burgers look so good we had to try them. We both got the mushroom Swiss burger and they were so dry not juicy at all and we were very disappointed.

    Chicken Caesar salad
    Courtenay O.

    What's not to like on my first time here?!? Our waitress Melissa was attentive and friendly. She took care of us during our two hour stay - time to catch up with girlfriends who haven't seen each other in 3 months. One girlfriend recommended this restaurant. She visits once a week, and has never been disappointed. The food is consistently good, and she likes the service, too. When we visited Wednesday, 6/22/22, all of us were pleased with service and food. All of us had salads and they were all good. I had the chicken Caesar, one had the shrimp fresh greens salad, and another had the strawberry fresh greens salad. We liked the breadstick that came with each salad. All was fresh and tasty. Melissa kept our drinks full, and offered to go cups to each of us. She was a big part of our 5 star experience.

    3.5/5 stars We've been to Applebee's a few times now for lunch and dinner. The restaurant can be reached is down a road past Walgreens and a pizza place. We have had a burger, Tex-Mex Shrimp Bowl, Bourbon Street Chicken and Shrimp, and the 2 for $22 with Fiesta Lime Chicken and an 8 oz steak which brought it to $27. All have been tasty. It is a chain and you know what your getting which is nice when you're wanting something basic and fast. Service has been good even when busy. We would definitely go back. My only complaint is the air conditioning was freezing the last time we were there which made it uncomfortable. 11/27/21. 15 photos.

    Classic Bacon Cheese Burger
    Michele R.

    Stopped here with my grandmother after the outlets. For a Sunday afternoon I was kind of surprised how dead it was. Our waiter was very nice and we were accommodated quickly. We both had the bacon cheese burger. It was alright, but very greasy. The fries were delicious. My grandmother had asked for a side of broccoli, but the waiter accidentally brought out fries instead. He was quick to bring out the broccoli and ended up packaging my grandmother's price (plus more) so I could bring them home for my boyfriend - really nice of him.

    Lunch time vibes.

    One of the many disgusting air vents in dining room
    Sunny D.

    So gross! First off I noticed how crusted the air return vents in the dining room were while waiting for our order. See Pic, looks like 30 years of dust, lint and mold. We had already ordered the serloin with mashed potatoes and broccoli. When it came I found a brown/black lump about an inch or so in size in my mashed potatoes. Pulled it out and realized it was a rotten potato chunk that didn't get mashed up. Then I saw brown spots on my way over cooked broccoli and as I cut into the rest of it I realized that all of it was rotten in the middle. UHG! My "serloin" was clearly not serloin but some sort of miss-shapen blob of round steak or something that was completely unchewable. My husband's was very clearly skirt steak as it was supper thin and looked like shoe leather. The waitress was nice enough about it and seemed unsurprised and we asked to exchange it for hamburgers. Since the manager was nearby I showed him the food and he was completely unapologetic and seemed rather irritated to be bothered. Kinda a d**k. After waiting for nearly half an hour, the burgers finally arrived and while edible I don't think I've ever had a greasier burger and the fries were all dry and withered like they had been cooked, cooled and recooked or maybe just really old. IDK anyway, GROSS, DISGUSTING- Worst meal ever. Health inspectors need to take a close look at this place!

There is some seating inside, but all the…read morereal fun is sitting outside where there's plenty of seating with fantastic views of the Manatee river. If it's too hot, or the sun is beating down upon you, ask for seats in the shaded areas/umbrellas. There's a small beach there , many kids running around, their goofing around while waiting for their meal. There is a bar area. Not huge, but since they open @ 11am.. I'd imagine that area is probably full for most of the rest of the day . So, if you're going to sit there, get there by 11:30am. We had a group of five, so we started off sharing the spicy queso dip and the shrimp and crab dip. Both are excellent, the shrimp and crab dip were to die for! A blackened chicken sandwich was tasty and quite well received. The mahi-mahi fish sandwich was blackened, still tasty but slightly underwhelmed. Should've done the grouper. Others in the group were quite satisfied with their meals. Service was good but the place is spread out and quite busy most of the time we were there, which was mid afternoon on a Saturday. This place is fantastic, and if I had to choose between Woody's River Roo & and Whiskey Joe's- I'd take Whiskey Joe's every time. They also have a better selection of craft beers. This is not meant to assassinate Woody's River Roo . The food and drinks are good there. Their prices are reasonable, Their atmosphere is good there. But pound for pound Whiskey Joe's is better. If you want to nitpick , Joe's is priced higher and their parking area is much smaller. Hence, many people choose to do the valet parking. I guess those could be construed as negatives. Again JOE's just puts out a slightly better experience.

The manager actually said "I don't know what to tell you" when we asked if he thought this was ok? The final straw was the incredibly filthy ladies room. If I were having a wedding or an event here, I would be mortified for my guests. If I had gone there first, I would never ever have eaten there Do better Whiskey Joe - this is a prime location and could be so much better with better management!

Korean fried chicken was really regular smokey BBQ sauce on fried chicken with slaw. It was super spicy (too spicy) but not Asian tasting. And way too much sauce. Would recommend with sauce on side or just order something else. The Cuban sandwich was highly recommended by the server and it was an average cuban. The First Ave Burger was just ok. Not much going on between 2 buns. The bread was mush. I'd recommend that they toast the bun to give it some texture.
