We tried the Brisket, Pulled chicken & Pulled pork sandwiches and plates, and Mac & Cheese bowls with brisket. Each one of these was well cooked and had really good flavor across the palate. Their various bbq sauces were also different and quite flavorful. We would definitely come back when we are in the area again.

Overall I won't rush back but if you're shopping in Davenport and craving bbq it's a decent option. I wouldn't order the sausage sandwich lunch special though.

I've passed this place by on my way to work and figured to stop by sometime; today was the perfect day because Victoria was the sweetest and super swift with her service! I sat at the bar to enjoy a small dinner and cocktail; ordered an Old Fashioned and received their signature one which was super tasty and done right! (thanks Victoria ) Managed to snag a photo of my salad as it was purchased with birthday money from a friend; got the Wedge (a la carte, no protein). Even though the produce is "weird" now, every bit of what happens for me next will be all worth it because that salad was delicious! It was one of the best wedge salads I've had in a long while... almost got the soup of the day because French Onion is my favorite but I had some places to be thereafter and "toilet conspiracies caused by produce" was not in my bingo card for my special day For my first time, it was a wonderful experience and service as top tier even though business was a bit slow. Take advantage of this though, because the food from what I've seen looks DELICIOUS Thanks Victoria See you soon!

When you first enter Ovation Bistro the first thing that hits you is the smell of smoked meats. It…read moreis both strong and delicious. My mouth immediately started watering. To be a chain, Ovation Bistro in Davenport FL looks like a good time. Our server was Alex and she was doing everything by herself. Tending bar, serving and busing tables. She was a whirlwind. It is in a strip mall with plenty of parking. You enter through the covered patio area, which on a florida day when it was 97 outside it felt cooler on the patio. We ate inside. When you enter, the bar is to the left and the dining area is on the right. There are both booths and tables in the dining area. And high tops in the bar, besides the bar stool. Ordered a craft beer from 3 Sisters in St. Pete. It was good. For lunch we had the sirloin lunch special and brisket wedge salad. The food was not good. It was bad. And in their defense, maybe they were having an off day or maybe their lunch specials are left overs. The brisket was dry and way past it's prime. I sent it back and they brought me back more dry brisket which I guess they soaked in something, but you could tell it was way over cooked and past it's prime. The sirloin steak was not much better and the mash potatoes were at best luke warm. This was very disappointing. Especially after seeing some of the reviews. Suffice to say, this outing was definitely a one star for the food and four stars for the service along with the ambiance. I hate to hurl insults, but whoever is in their kitchen has either lost their passion or they just don't care. Best part of the meal was the wedge salad which was deliscious. The manager did come talk to us and did not charge us. The experience was still disappointing. My expectation did not meet my experience at Ovation Bistro in Davenport Florida.

Our most recent outing saw us dining on a sparsely populated dining room for a Wednesday Night. Our server greeted us quickly but it took nearly 20 minutes for us to get our drink order of a water and sweet tea. We ordered off the 2 for $20 menu they're featuring at the moment. My Breakfast Burger was tasty but made incorrectly with the wrong cheese and missing its side when it first came out which I had to alert our server to, and my wife's order omitted the side when added to the 2 for $20 which seems really strange. Our shareable to split was Onion Petals, essentially just a Bloomin Onion knock off. These were tasty and cooked well and I quite liked the sauce. We did however ask for them ahead of our meal, which our server suggested and they in fact came out after our entrees arrived. To cap it all off, we received one drink refill after pleading multiple times for about 90 minutes and then when the check arrived we were charged for two drinks we never ordered. I alerted the server who had it corrected but again, it took quite some time for him to come back. Then, when we when to pay, because I had attempted to use THEIR APP, it wouldn't let me pay at the register, they had to wait for the system to reset. All-in-all for a mediocre meal and absolutely terrible service, we were stuck there for about 2 hours total. We'll be seriously considering other options in the area before we venture back here for a second chance.

Ooook.... Keeping my fingers crossed here, as I've had some REALLY bad BBQ lately (Like that fast…read morefood joint 'Smokin Ds' in St Augustine Florida.) Looks like its a carb day. Anyhow, my rule of thumb typically goes around whether a BBQ place sells brisket or not. I'm parked across the street and saw that they had brisket, so it was comforting. But it wasn't until I walked through the doors that I realized I was walking into a chain restaurant. Now I'm nervous hahaha I'm actually writing this review as I sit here and as I go along. Ambiance is nice. Sort of BBQ-Y, but definitely has that chain aesthetic to it. Bathrooms could use a little bit of TLC, but nothing too heinous. My server is Danielle... Shes THE best! They have a bar area, but only serve beer and wine, which is a bummer. Including me, there's only about a half a dozen parties in here so they're not terribly busy but then again it's only 2:00 p.m. and they have at least 3 servers that I have seen so far. A couple empty tables still had remnants of the last patrons, but after I sat down the tables were cleaned off. I ordered a 4 meat plate. I'm really rolling the dice here, because I ordered two orders of sliced brisket, (which is in $8 up charge collectively) figuratively blindfolded, along with pulled pork and the ribs. All I truly care about is the brisket (after I got that JOKE of and impalatable "beef" order from Smokin D's in St Augustine a couple weeks back) Well I just finished eating, and my Gambit paid off! Man, was that GOOD. I drove straight into the brisket, and it definitely exceeded my expectations. Still pretty moist, flavorful, and they gave me a good portion size. The baby back ribs were excellent. None of that "fall off the bone" BS that fake BBQ places due to try to lure in customers. REAL ribs that you can see your teeth marks in after taking a bite. The pulled pork was better than average also. The beans were really good, I haven't had any flavor like that and the cornbread was okay. I don't eat a lot of it, but I've only had some real knock your socks off cornbread once in my life. Sonny's BBQ is what Famous Dave's USED to be, until they went too far corporate. So my meal, that included I think around $15 in up charges, AND a draft beer came to just under $38. I was expecting it to be more! This trip was a success, I'm glad I took the leap of faith, and I'm glad I ate here.

You do not need to be playing golf, just tell the guy at the guard gate that you are going to the restaurant. My mom and dad wanted to go here one night so I joined them and I thought the food was pretty good, so when they asked me to join again I obliged. Turns out they do trivia on Tuesday nights. I love trivia! So, what a find this turned out to be. Thanks Mom and Dad! Trivia starts at 6pm on Tuesday. It fills up so make sure you call ahead and make a reservation for Tuesday Trivia. You don't need reservations every night, but they do a fancy dinner on Friday and a Sunday brunch buffet which you probably need reservations for. The food is pretty good. I really like the cheeseburger. They will build it just how you like it. The fries are outstanding! They are double battered or beer battered. They are so crispy and delicious. I also really enjoyed the French Dip and the Chicken Quesadilla. My friend Tracy who plays trivia with me thinks the Taco Salad is one of the best taco salads she ever ate. She raved about it all night last night. Her husband always gets the fish and chips and says they are really good. We often start with mozzarella sticks which aren't particularly special, but still good. Also, it may sound silly, but their iced tea is also delicious. So, don't discount this place just cause it seems like a golf course bar.

But.... the service is absolutely awful, like really bad at night. I have been here 3 times, once for lunch where the service was good, but the kitchen was slow. And twice at night, where the service was slow and the kitchen was slow. And at night, they have all the lights on like if the bar was going to close. And it is like that all night. I think they are trying to be more of a restaurant, but let's face it... Davenport's Sports Bar is a dive bar with the lights turned all the way up. Seems like industrial style lighting on a manufacturing scale. The food is okay. It is bar food. Did I mention how bad the service is? There were 5 servers including the bartender, couldn't figure out if there was a manager, but I got the impression that they are just disorganized. In any case, bad service means low or no tip and more beer so that's a win. Not going to go out of my way to visit here again. It just is not worth it.
