- A Guilty Pleasure! -…read more It's been over 5 years since I last reviewed them and over 10 since I started visiting this location. Over the years I've visited many other locations and for good or bad I'm a Checkers expert! Arriving- Immediately off US Route 27 South and drive-thru and walk-up only! No inside seating. At this Checkers there is one drive-thru for App users and one for everybody else. In the App user's lane, you receive your order through the passenger window which I find slightly annoying. However, the other benefits of the app make up for it. Ambience- The only thing to discuss is the outside seating. A few sizable tables with big umbrellas to keep off the hot Florida sun. The App- The app is solid and well-designed but most importantly, it has great deals. I almost always get some kind of discount. Customer Service- Unless you live under a rock, you know they are drive-thru and walk-up only. I've found the service to be fast, especially in the App-user lane. I've never had a mistake with my order, so the folks are competent. The employees are not usually super friendly, but they are polite and efficient and I'm good with that! Food- Burgers, Chicken and their famous Seasoned Fries in a myriad of combinations. They also do occasional specials like a Cheesesteak which was not bad! On this visit I had their Big Buford which is their take on a Dbl Qtr with Cheese. I added a Seasoned Fries and no drink as I was bringing it home. It would normally go for about $10 but I paid $7 with some App discounts. See my picture. This is not gourmet food, but it was tasty, well-prepared and well-seasoned. It was a great value and I was satiated! Conclusion- So you get better than decent food quickly, at a great price and never need to get out of your car. It's an easy four stars for me!

By the time our friendly waitress came to take our order, I was ready to follow Steven's advice and try one of their pizzas. It did not take long before a small pie arrived, generously topped with pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, and onions. The flavors were spot on, and with a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a little kick, it was perfect. I enjoyed it so much that while we spent the next 20 minutes chatting about travel, Yelp, and my sprinter van, I looked down to find I had polished off the entire pizza without even realizing it. Service was warm and attentive throughout. Our waitress made sure we were well cared for and handled splitting the check with ease. Market 27 also offers a wide variety of drinks, from sodas to beers. I went with a macro brew this time, but next visit I will branch out and try something different. Overall, Market 27 delivered a welcoming atmosphere, delicious food, and great service. It's an excellent choice for a casual meet‑up or a satisfying meal.

This is an update focusing on my fine lunch so read my original review for more detail on this excellent chain. Customer service- I blew in intent on lunch to-go and moseyed up to the counter with no wait. The always smiling young lady efficiently processed my order and it was ready in about 5 minutes. Food- My go-to order here is usually three tenders with fries and slaw for $14 and change. A biscuit or role comes along for the ride. I brought this bad boy home and plated it up. That was supposed to be three tenders, but I think they went a little overboard! Now you see why I ordered the slaw. See my picture. As my cholesterol spiked in anticipation, a loosened my belt in preparation and attacked. Taste- OMG! Tender, juicy, white meat tenders with perfectly crunchy batter. Very good fries but they are consistently undercooked for about a minute. Fresh, crunchy slaw. It was several hours until I could write this update because I was comatose in my recliner! An easy 4 stars and probably 4.5. The minimal parking can get a little crazy and the fries need a little more time but that doesn't stop their legions of fans from stopping by including me. I think I'll survive until Christmas!

We have ordered takeout many times and it has always been cooked to perfection . Fries could be a Little crispier sometimes and the baked beans are very tasty. Price is really nice. If you like good Maryland Fried Chicken, this is the place to go in Avon Park and near by. Worth the short drive from Sebring..

Heaven on a Fork! Even after ten years of visits, the bloom is not off the rose!…read more For this lunch to-go visit, I was in the mood for spicy food, so I went with their Chorizo meal. So how was it? Read on to find out. Arriving- They are on Main St., just a few seconds off US Route 27 so they are simple to find. There is a private parking lot that can be a bit of a challenge as they are insanely popular. Ambience- It is a combination Mexican market and restaurant that is so common in this part of the state. There are quite a few tables and booths that are kept nice and clean. You order and pay the cashier, and they'll call you when it's ready. This is a very, very casual place! BTW-This place has a spotless open kitchen. Not to be missed is the complimentary, with purchase, Salsa Bar. Delicious! There are plenty of small to-go containers to sample the bar items if you're taking your meal home like I did on this visit. Customer Service- Everyone that works here will be Hispanic, but all the customer-facing folks speak excellent English. They are always friendly, and I've never had a problem. Pro Tip- If you are so inclined, before you place your order, walk to the coolers at the back of the market and grab yourself a cold brewski! Pro Tip- The menu board is in Spanish but there are English menus readily available. Food- All your Mexican favorites, both meats and seafood, in very generous portions. I ordered the Chorizo meal @ $14. My picture is a little deceiving. See that slab of delicious spicy sausage? There is another piece the same size, directly underneath! I put the box on my scale at home and it was just under 2 lbs.! That's a lot of lunch and it was awesome. Conclusion- So they have over 100 reviews @ 4.5 stars and they deserve it. It's an inexpensive, casual "Heaven on a Fork" kind of place!

If you're looking for some authentic Mexican food and you are in Avon Park... this it it!!!…read more We love the food here. It's a walk-up counter and the menu is above and they also have menus you can order from. As for service, they do bring you the food to your table if you are going to eat here and there is a salsa and condiments bar with a little bit of everything to top your tacos or any other plate you order. The restaurant is part of the store, so you can shop for items for your home and even get a piñata for a party!!! We love the place and it good home cooked authentic food.

--Let's discuss losing my virginity! --…read more I've always wanted to open a review like that. I've visited all 50 states including AK and HI, most, many times. I've consumed tons of fast food or fast casual food. Somehow, I've never visited Culver's. Yup, I'm a Culver's virgin so off I went for lunch on their Grand Opening day. Arriving- These fine folks are just off US Route 27 South, so they are easy peasy to find. They have a drive-thru, very nice curb-side delivery and a decent parking lot for dining in. Handicap parking is great. The App- I planned on curb-side delivery but like most virgins, I was a little nervous! I didn't want them to know it was my first time! The app was just fine and allowed me to figure out my choices. I entered the color, make, and model of my car and told the app to make it happen. Ambience- I can't speak to the inside, but the ambience of the parking lot is just great! The signage and lane markings are spot on. Customer Service- I waited in my car for about 4 minutes and a very nice young lady delivered my food. Four minutes is nothing, so I was quite pleased. Food- I went with the Double Deluxe ButterBurger, and a medium Onion Rings at about $13. I brought it home and plated it and you can see my picture. So far, my virginal experience was just great! So, I had my first Culver's orgasm with the ButterBurger! Great bun and build. Juicy tasty meat and fresh toppings. An overall great burger. My neighbors were complaining about my moans of ecstasy! The onion rings were a little bit of a miss. You can see from my pic that some were overcooked. The manager should know better than to let those go out. They get a bit of a pass as it's their Grand Opening. The rings that were cooked properly were amazing! Conclusion- A solid experience especially for a Grand opening! I'm going 4 stars for now, but I expect they'll do better once they work out the kinks. It'll be tougher to please me now that I'm no longer a virgin!

- "Iconic" McRib yet again! -…read more Yup, they call it iconic as it's on again and off again since 1982. That's over 40 years! Folks love it or hate it and I'm in the like category. I enjoy the change. App- I've used the app exclusively for years along with the drive thru. This visit it worked perfectly, which is routine. I can't remember the last time I had a problem. Ambience- I don't care because I've only used the drive thru for years. Occasionally I pop in to use the bathroom and it's always been clean. Customer Service- The drive thru was quick, the employees smiled and my order was correct. What's not to like! Food- I ordered the McRib and a Medium Fries, and it set me back $8. I skipped the drink as I was bringing it home. The food was still hot and well packed. The fries were typical MickyD's addictive. The McRib was nicely put together and was easy to eat without 50 napkins! It was tasty and overall, a good lunch. Conclusion- Over the years, my MickyD's ratings have been 2-4 stars. There have certainly been some misses. In Yelp, 4 stars means "Good" and they earned that this time!

- Where's the beef! -…read more That iconic commercial debuted over 40 years ago, changed the face of the fast-food market and made them a household name. Over many decades, I'm still a loyal customer! Arriving- They are in the middle of a typical pack of fast-food chains on US Route 27 North. Parking is easy. Ambience- It's clean and typical and very quiet as most folks use the drive-thru Drive Thru- They are experimenting with AI and it's getting better by the month! They have an employee always standing by to jump in and help if needed, which is much appreciated. The App- Typical and mostly decent. Getting an offer or a reward credited is tricky and needs to be improved. They are generous with their rewards! Customer Service- I generally drive thru and about 90% of the time a make it through without being told to pull over. That other 10% I usually wait 2 or 3 minutes. I've never received a incorrect order. The employees are friendly and pleasant so no problems there. Food- Today was a Double Cheeseburger and Spicy Nuggets and it set me back about $11. It was completely as expected Hot, juicy beef with the toppings I specified. The Nuggets were hot in temperature and spicy hot and crispy. A satisfying lunch! Conclusion- I've been going to this specific Wendy's for over ten years and watched them evolve especially with their breakfasts and chicken sandwiches. Of the big 3, they are a solid choice.

I have ordered this item several times before. I was not satisfied with this last order.​​

-Every 4th Footlong Free-…read more So now they have completely revamped their rewards system and called it the Sub Club. If you patronize them, especially if you have the app, you need to check it out. The old system had tiers based upon your yearly spending. My tier was Captain. There was also Subway Cash. This has all been revamped. The new system is "Every 4th Footlong Free!" 1 Footlong = 1 stamp 6-inch sub = 1/2 a stamp 3 stamps = 1 free Footlong This seems much simpler than the old system and I'm looking forward to seeing how it performs. There is also still Subway Cash. I'll leave it to you to read the fine print. For this visit, as usual, I used the App to order the Footlong, 5-Meat Sub with all my usual add-ons. The App performed perfectly. Ambience- This is a clean, typical Subway. I always order on the App and never eat in so the only thing I really care about is cleanliness and it's always been spotless. Customer Service- My sub was ready before the time predicted. That's normal here. The folks smile and use my name so it's all good. Food- I almost always order the 5-meat version and it's fast, fresh and completely acceptable. See my picture. Conclusion- Can I purchase a better sub somewhere else? But sometimes Subway fills my need for speed at a decent price. Yelp say 4 stars = Good. That's appropriate for me!

I'm a 71 years young Yelper and I just inhaled the best Breakfast Burrito of my life!…read more I've been to this gas station/convenience store/restaurant several times for lunch. Folks kept telling me about the amazing Chorizo Breakfast Burrito, so I finally stopped in the morning to give it a go. This is that story. Arriving- It's on US Route 27 South and you can't miss it as the restaurant name is emblazoned on the canopy. See my picture. Parking is easy and if you have the need there are two handicapped spaces around the back near a second entrance. Ambience- The convenience store/restaurant is in the back and kind of combined. There are acres of cooler doors with every drink you can imagine including beer & wine. Just grab what you want to drink with your meal. Don't worry, you pay when you're finished. There is a bright and spotless dining area with a bunch of tables & booths. See my picture. Pro Tip- I'm a gringo and if you are also, you will be in the minority. Don't panic, you'll be made to feel very welcome! Food- This is an order at the window kind of place. There are some menus on the wall but not everything is included. Just ask. So, I asked for the famous Chorizo Breakfast Burrito- "Small or large? Small please." "Would you also like Beef & Cheese? Hell yes!" "Here or to-go? Here please." "What color sauce? Red please." Less than five minutes later it was ready and plated beautifully. Not too shabby for a gas station! Pro Tip- They make their own tortillas year daily! OMG I was in love! It was piping hot, and the aroma was incredible. It was very dense in a good way. This was the small and it was very filling. The chorizo was wonderful and spicy so expect that. I could also taste the melted cheese. It was one hell of a breakfast. The large size would have been too big for a morning meal for me. It was $5.99 and I'd added a Starbucks drink out of the cooler. My total tab was $8 and change. Yelp reviews originally clued me into this place and as a result, I had a five-star simple and memorable breakfast!
