    Gyro, chicken gumbo soup, 1/2 Combo sub (from left to right)
    Nate M.

    This is a MUST GO if you're in either St. Cloud or St. Joe. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu, and I've had just about all of it. The subs are all great and come with a solid amount of toppings, but you be aware that a full size sub is a very big meal! The picture I have attached to this review shows a 1/2 sub as a reference. The gyro isn't like one you'll get at a Mediterranean spot, but is very solid. Great food, great people, great service and all at great prices!

    1/3!! Huge roast beef sub with everything + sprouts
    Kara L.

    There is no better sub sandwhich in a large radius of this shop. Bold statement but I haven't found one. They are extremely generous with portions and I love that they offer a 1/3 option. One if my favorite things is the wheat bread made fresh from a local bakery. There is no skimping on the meat or the toppings. I always have them put "everything" on it which includes the usual plus banana peppers and vinaigrette. Major bonus points for having sprouts...nobody has sprouts anymore. I was stoked! (It's the little things.) In addition to subs there are pitas, schwarma, soups, and baked goods. I can't speak for any of the other foods except for the sandwiches but I can say the quality of ingredients shine and make for a fresh and satisfying meal. You won't taste the "chain" and "corporate quality cuts" in any of products coming from Bo Diddly's. I can honestly say they haven't cut any corners in the 30 years I've been enjoying them which is unheard of. It's such a pleasure to visit home and have a consistent and reliable old standby.

    Pretty good sandwich. The portion was huge. A little dry tho, maybe I didn't order it correctly.

    The seafood sub has been my favorite for years. I try to stop by whenever I'm in town. I highly recommend this place. The service was great.

    TLDR; Make a reservation or be prepared to wait a while. Good booze, great food and equally good…read moreservice. Try sitting outside, it's gorgeous. First impression: BUSY! Very pretty establishment and plenty of parking. Service: They offered reservations, which is always nice. Wait time was higher for indoor seating, but outdoor was tolerable, so we sat outside. Hostess was polite and swift. Waitress was interactive and tolerable to our indecisiveness, despite being so busy. They have a huge pond for outdoor eaters to admire, and it provide a beautiful sense of nature to our outdoor experience. Food: Everything we ordered was fantastically prepared/cooked. Everything was seasoned well, objectively. Seasoning was applied JUST enough to taste it, so as to avoid being over bearing to the more sensitive eaters. It was not so light that I felt like I needed to add anything though. The order/timing our food came out was reasonable and expected, based on population at the time. Drinks: Tea and water were both good. I order a regular margarita every time I try a new place, as part of my initial review process, for consistency. Their margarita was 10/10 and arguably the best I've ever had. I'm a red wine drinker, so I tried the "purple cowboy", since purple is my favorite color. This is my new favorite wine. I'll never not order it when I visit this place. We ordered a flight to try their local beers. Their award winning beer was fantastic. I can see why it won an award. I personally am not a fan of that type of beer, but objectively, and from trying dozens of this type over the years, it was good. Final impression: We've since been back to this Brewery multiple times, and will make it a regular option on our date nights. Highly recommend get reservations first, during "busy" hours though.

    This is my opinion on the day we went in and do with it as you want…read more When we first arrived, they were busy. There was a Sunday brunch going on. No problem, we ended up waiting, maybe 15 minutes to get a table. There were 4 of us. That wasn't an issue and the staff was great. We got seated at our table and our waiter, I believe his name was Benjamin, was awesome. Great guy, didn't pressure us to order right away. Gave us time to look and would check in on us. All around great service. He was a 5 star! Even the atmosphere, with it being busy, was what you would expect. A lot of people talking and having a good time, no problems, no issues. We were kind of set back in the corner, which I'm thankful for, because we didn't have the noise from the Brunch area. The reason for the 3 stars is because of the food. With 4 people being served, you would think they would get the fries right? They were over seasoned on everyone's plate, horribly over seasoned. You might as well have been dipping them straight into the container of whatever seasoning was on them. Of the 4 orders of French fries, we left 2 orders on the table. I ordered the Gastro Pub Bison Burger, medium. Benjamin even started it was going to have some pink in the middle, and I said yes. The ticket even stated it. I don't know why they even put it on the ticket if they're going to cook it done. The burger ended up being over cooked and dry. It was a Bison burger, so there's plenty of moisture in those burgers when cooked to medium. This thing comes out as a little nothing sized burger. I wasn't impressed with it at all. My wife's order, Spinach and Artichoke Chicken Sandwich, came out good and she ate it all and really enjoyed it. One daughter had ordered a Buffalo Chicken Wrap. She's had them before at other places and was excited to try their's. Came out ok except for the, what she stated as being too spicy. And again, the fries were over seasoned. My other daughter order a Spicy Dill Flatbread, which turned out really good. She was the only one of us who did like the over seasoned fries. Now when it comes to food, I never send anything back and i don't say anything because we might not be done with ordering. I have the biggest fear about retaliation. You hear the stories from someone you know, of possibly something being a little sketchy when food is reordered or it comes back out, so I just don't do it. I have been here before and it is pretty much the same as I remember it. The staff being great, but the food just being not worth it. The funny thing is it's the Chef's name is on the door when you come in the building. If I was him, I'd be a little embarrassed that his cooking staff can't do a medium burger and do some retraining. At least watch what the cooking staff is doing while preparing food that his name is associated with. I don't need to go back there and eat.
