They were so friendly and very good service. We got our food on time. Food was hot and crispy. The beer was cold and it was buy one get one that was awesome. And they actually had a really good beer list. I enjoy the pretzel bites. They were soft but crispy nicely salted and I enjoyed it. My family got some of these food items as a midnight snack kind of thing. My sister really enjoyed the buffalo salad. My brother-in-law love quesadillas. And the beer hit the spot. There's plenty of parking there. I definitely recommend this place and I would definitely come back again, when I'm in town.

We were just passing through and looking for a place to watch the final 4 and get some dinner. We…read morechose Gators because we'd never been. First, the service was awesome! Our server, Liyah, was quick and knowledgeable. All drinks are 2 for 1 all day every day? She brought us each 2 beers.... They averaged 3.50$ per glass! And appetizers were also quick and good! We had pretzel bites and a French onion soup that was perfectly browned and cheesey! For dinner 2 of us got chicken sandwiches and 2 of us got the garlic butter smash burger... delish!!! Tots and sweet potato fries were both wonderful! During dinner, I developed the hiccups... our sever brought me a lime to try to get rid of them. I'd never heard of this but it worked!! Great meal, great atmosphere, amazing service!

I had the sausage and cheese omelet with the fried potatoes. Husband had the fried pork chops which were not on the menu but available if you ask. Both were yummy. Sausage gravy was good too. Service and atmosphere were Great. We'll be back.

Grabbed lunch through the drive-thru. Service was fairly fast. The chopped brisket sandwich was…read moredelicious and the meat was very moist and flavorful. However, whoever was working the drive thru failed to give me any type of bbq sauce which was very disappointing. The seasonal peach cobbler eggrolls are to die for, although they would have been even tastier served with a scoop of ice cream. Overall, the lack of bbq sauce could have ruined the meal; however, luckily the meat was tasty enough to be enjoyed without sauce.

The turkey is always done to perfection, the ham yummy and plenty of sides and desserts. The salad bar was completely vacant, however...this was somewhat disheartening, considering how supposedly "health minded" American adults are these days. That was our first stop of the day. Cabbage slaw, carrot salad, macaroni salad, olives, huge delicious slices of beautiful tomatoes, gorgeous slices of cucumbers, nicely green lettuce, several types of peppers and ham. Cheese, salad dressing of every kind...best stop so far!

Pumpkin pie, pecan pie, lemon meringue, peach cobbler, soft serve ice cream, chocolate cream pie, cookies, brownies...oh, I'm exhausted just from trying to list everything! There was so so so much more than what I even listed here, plus the absolute best waitress and Arnold Palmer maker! Why cook at home, burden yourself, spend HOURS cleaning up afterwards and hours more packing everything away?

I always hate to leave a negative review, but Lake City seems to be struggling with quality food…read more We ordered two meals: Happy Family and Crazy Tuna Roll. Both were terrible. The tuna felt room temperature and was pretty bad in taste. The Happy Family was not so happy. It was overcooked and had thick brown gravy. It was totally disgusting. During our meal, one waitress was mocking her $10 per hour wage while walking around with a feather duster on a pole, dusting the ceiling cameras and the HVAC vents. The dust was flying everywhere. What really was gross was when she walked over to the sushi bar with the feather duster over food, which was on a tray under her. Unfortunately, there was a man sitting at the counter 4 feet away from her. I could see the dirt landing on his food. Within 5 minutes, I left. Low standards if this is your restaurant. By the way, it's March 23, 2026. You might want to remove any references to Merry Christmas.

But Apparently, asking for a simple packet of jelly at this Hardee's is a massive offense. The guy ( my receipt says his name is Robert) at the window--tall, thin, and clearly in need of a dental hygiene check as much as an attitude adjustment--met my request with a hostile, disgusted glare and an arrogant head-shake, as if I were a massive inconvenience to his life. It is pathetic that a paying customer is treated with that level of contempt. If it's that much of a struggle for him to be polite for thirty seconds, do everyone a favor and move him to the back to flip burgers where no one has to see or hear him. He clearly hates his job, so he should either quit or stay hidden in the kitchen.
