    It's Checkers. Outside looked clean and tidy. I used the bc drive thru. Speedy service. Food was made as ordered.

    Chicken bits with fries and Fanta
    Celena F.

    Slow service and nasty food. I'm not a fan of fast food, but walked here only because the line at Panda Express next door was moving super slow. There were four cars in the drive thru and 1 person standing outside waiting for an order. I asked him about the place since I'd never eaten Checkers food before and he said he liked it, gave recommendations. He had been waiting for about five minutes for his order. I counted about seven employees inside filling orders, but couldn't see anyone actually making food so guessing that's why the lines were crawling slow there too? I waited a few more minutes before the manager came to the window and said she would be with me after finishing the order for the guy outside. Okay, that gave me time to make a final decision ofn what to order. I chose the chicken bits with fries with a Fanta strawberry. That Fanta was the only part of my order that was edible. The chicken bits were some weird mushy mess inside, completely grossed about after eating one. I gave them to my dogs. The fries were not impressive either, I tossed them in the trash. Never trying this place again

    I bit into my chili dog and felt a solid object so i pulled it out of my mouth and there was a literal paper clip.... I'm sorry but that's disgusting and dangerous and they did not care much when I called, saying that "there aren't any paper clips near the chili". Anyways just writing this as a warning to watch what goes in your mouth at this place because you could chip a tooth or choke on the next random object that may carelessly land in their pots.

    It's fast food. Can't expect the best of the best. But this Checkers isn't that bad. Fast usually friendly not All the time and cheap.

We went inside to order and got a brownie sundae and twist cone with sprinkles and a kraut dog for myself. The girl who took our order was moving quickly and had everything out within minutes. The hotdog took a little longer from the back but it was fresh when it came out. Everything was delicious and it's the perfect spot to fix a sweet tooth and hotdog craving for us.

How nostalgic! It is amazing to see small businesses stay in business for so long. That is really telling to the product and the service. I loved the old school feel of the establishment. Everything now a days is so modern and rigid, but not this place. You really feel like you are thrown back in time. There was plenty of seating inside and outside. It also had a drive-thru. Upon entering, we were greeted right away by the 2 young workers behind the counter. I had been craving a rainbow sprinkle ice cream cone so badly. I ordered a waffle cone with vanilla soft serve ice cream covered in rainbow sprinkles. It was so good. The cone tasted fresh and cracked nicely so you know it was not stale. My mom ordered a scoop of ice cream in a cup and she also gave it rave reviews. Many people visited while we were inside enjoying our ice cream so you know its the place to be for dessert!

    I still love Portillo's. We were close by at Bass Pro Shops and wanted a milkshake. I remembered…read morethey had great ones here, and also that they put a free sandwich coupon on my acct. I came in and used their kiosk and scanned the Portillos's card which is on my phone. It's so easy and never used it before. I was able to get a regular Italian beef sandwich for free, & order a large strawberry shake. Both were soooo good. I waited at the next counter to get my food. Everyone was so nice and while I hung out there, at least three to four people asked if I needed anything. They didn't ignore me at all. Just smiled and asked if there was anything they could do to assist. That was def excellent customer service. I brought my Italian beef sandwich to the Xmas parade in Sarasota at UTC mall and I thought it was funny that at least 3 different people asked where I got the Portillo's from and if there was one in the area. I just said nope it's from Brandon. So cool to see that just a simple Portillo's bag could spark people's attention. It's so good! Can't wait for the one by Tampa Outlet mall to open. That would be closer for me.

    Omg, this social media Instagram to be exact was googling for a barbeque spot a couple of weeks…read morebefore arriving and their posts caught my eye. I finally came to the right Bubba's( please see review for Bubba's 33). We arrived like 9:10 pm and pretty much 20 minutes before closing. Er were promptly greeted and we advised them we were going to give their menu a look. We decided on pick 3, which consisted of: brisket, 3 piece ribs, and half a chicken, for the sides were got macaroni and cheese and crinkled cut fries. We paid for our meal and picked a booth near the entrance. I almost forgot to mention we got a drink an made us some Arnold Palmer and for dessert with got banana pudding. We sat at our booth and our food arrived nice and hot. Fries very tasty and crunchy. We dived into the food I had a piece of brisket, nicely smoked and very moist. They had a variety of barbeque sauces you can you at your leisure. I picked a vinegar flavored and hickory sweet smoke which I alternated as I ate the meats. Let's talk sides. French fries fresh and crispy, now when it came for the macaroni it gives you flavor of the KFC version, it's alright. It came with a piece of toast. Taste similar to the cheez bread from Sizzlers just softer. (I'm showing my age). We had so much food and unless I'm very hungry we tend to share a plate. We took the banana pudding home and later tried it. The banana pudding was OMG, to die for, it had a very homemade taste. I highly recommend this dessert. Restaurant had a very cozy feel. The ambiance seem kind of quiet, but mind you we went on a Sunday night. The workers were very polite and attentive. If in the Brandon area, this is a must try.

The food itself was amazing! full of flavor and cooked perfectly. but what really stood out to me was the overall experience. The service was great, and the décor and ambiance were phenomenal. It has this super cute, rustic, authentic barbecue vibe that makes you feel comfortable the second you walk in. My favorite part (and a MUST-try) was the brisket, hands down one of the best I've had. Everything felt well thought out, from the easy parking to the clean, private bathrooms, which just made the visit even better. This is definitely a place I would go back to again without hesitation. If you're debating making the drive, do it. it's completely worth it. 10/10
