    Cuban sandwich $13
    Chris T.

    This may not be flashy but this place gets a lot of love from the locals. We walk up and before we even see the menu we hear "it's gonna be 10 min but it's going to be the best Cuban you've ever had!". And that sentiment seemed to be enthusiastically shared by everyone there. And omg, once we got it, we could see why. The menu is small but it's for a reason, the Cuban sandwich $13, is absolutely phenomenal and a great portion for sharing. If you're passing through Spring Hill and looking for lunch, go on by.

    Holy moly, this Cuban sandwich has got to be one of the BEST I've ever had. I'm a picky girl considering my husband is half Cuban! We visited right after visiting the springs and it was the perfect stop before heading back! We got there a little before the rush but it's best to order ahead of time. We waited about 10 minutes for our sandwich. Just went with the classic Cuban sandwich for $13 since it was our first visit. When I opened the sandwich in the car I was impressed with how heavy it was. Literally perfect to share and lots of meat inside. The cheese was perfectly melted, pickles were perfect, flavorful pork and perfect sauce. The owner is super friendly and you won't go wrong getting a Cuban sandwich here! Just note it's cash only. Such a great sandwich!

    As usual Ray doesn't disappoint, excellent Cubano and he turned me onto the amazing Pollo Fricisado (spelling?). You gotta go see Ray he's the better than Miami!

    update because we've gone back over and over since my first review. this restaurant is still…read moreeverything you want in a local place. the food is quick, super hot, the ambience is great, and the orders are always right. the prices are affordable, and every time i go i get something different and leave happy. i've tried burgers, sandwiches, wings, salads, etc. and its always delicious. the fries are my favorite though, cant miss them if you come. keep doing your thing and i'll keep coming back Drew's!

    I was excited to try Drew's as I love giving reviews. Especially, when I receive messages thanking…read moreme for giving my honest feedback. How my reviews have helped hundreds of people. We thought it would be wonderful to try their special where we bought bone in wings and got some boneless wings for free because that was their special. It was not packed when we arrived just a couple of tables. Getting our appetizers, the waitress was friendly when the mushrooms came out. We were excited to get our food because the mushrooms were good there was a lot of fried mushrooms in the basket we thought the portion size was wonderful.. The cheese curds I was not impressed with like the mushrooms it was skimpy and hardly any curds in the basket. At this point, we were knew not to order the cheese but would order the mushrooms again . After our appetizer we sat there for a very long time waiting for our wings, which was the special. It felt like we were sitting in one of those slow motion movies where are you watching people just walk right past you as if they don't see you. Even when you're trying to get their attention. We shouldn't wait for over an hour to get our wings in an unpacked restaurant. We seen people that came in after us receiving food. Our waitress would walk past us and just ignore us as if we weren't there because she knew our wings did not come out yet. She was trying to ignore us until the wings came out. We were charged $.50 per cup of extra sauces that is fine but after making us wait so long, you would think they would've taken at least that little things like sauce off the bill or something. We truly asked a few times if it was going to be coming out anytime soon. They did not take any accountability for the extremely long wait. I definitely would NOT recommend this place to any of my friends or family. It was one of the worst dining experiences that I had in a very long time not to mention that my wings were basically tasteless oil butter, with a little bit of Parmesan & no garlic taste. The boneless ones were dried out. My husband and I just took it to go because they did not taste good and it took extremely long to come out. We just wanted to get home at that point. I told them I was going to write a review and they did not care so if you feel like dining in a place like that, feel free to do so. I hope your dining experience is way better than mine was.. I told my husband maybe we will try it again down the road and try to give it another chance he said absolutely not. He stated that he would never go back there again. The atmosphere was OK on the inside. The outside looked cute. I was truly hoping to be able to give this place a 5 star review but when the wait staff did not care about the review after I told her that I would be writing one because that's what I do on the side and she did not even get a manager for us. The wait the staff didn't even say they were sorry for how long we had to wait. Well I'd give them one star because the mushrooms were good. Again, I truly wanted to give this place a positive review like I did for some other businesses. I love to support our local restaurants. I have to write an honest review, because if I wouldn't want my family to waste money on a bed, do I need an experience I wouldn't want another family to do so either. Who knows maybe one day I will stop in by myself and try it again and update my review. I can only hope that this review will reach the manager and they will try to address these issues for other others. Because our waitress showed up to work and was friendly when she gave us our appetizers. We did tip her 20% because everybody sometimes has a bad day. The boneless wings were very dried out no moistness on the inside. So I would definitely say there was a mess up in the kitchen somewhere with no garlic on the wings and pure oil. Also, being deliberately ignored until the food came out was a highly annoying. I truly feel that local businesses deserve a second chance maybe one day I will try it again. So wherever you may choose to go, may you have a happy dining experience. If you do choose this place, I can only hope that these issues were resolved and that your experience will be a phenomenal one. Have a blessed day.

    Moi has now found the most adorable little Latin Market on the planet!…read more "Miguel's Latin Market" is so freakin amazeballs, not only does it have the cutest, tiniest, most fabulous secret little Latin Breakfast/Lunch cafe & coffee shop in the very back of the store, their in house meat market sells "Churrasco Empacado." Yes, "Churrasco Empacado" AKA "outside skirt steak" or "packed steak." Me likes to also make kabobs with Churrasco Empacado on the BBQ yum yum yum yum yum :)... Miguel's is truly a Real gem. A Chef's market indeed. If you love to cook, you will love this little Latin market. Walking into Miguel's, first thing you notice is, the authentic vintage vibe, a pulse actually, kinda like walking into a time capsule, like a tiny little Cuban market from the 50's. It has a tiny produce section, a meat market and a secret little cafe in back with 2 tiny super adorable retro 50's style tables. And the whole building is like the size of a shoebox. haha. It's TINY, but MIGHTY. The market side is fabulous. They have the best selection of plantain chips, A whole section of "BADIA" spices, in sizes I have never even seen before. They also sell giant bags of rice & all kinds of kitchen utensils/tools/small appliances etc., Fresh baked cuban breads, fresh corn tortilla's, Honduran crema, mexican crema, Cojita cheese, Oaxaca cheese, NachoCheese Ole! hahaha. FYI: The little cafe in back is only open from 8am to 3pm & it serves up the most incredible cafe con leche & the coconut pastry is super yummy too OuiOui :)... While we were there Sir Hubbers had the beef empanada. It was very mild, kinda sweet, not spicy enough for us, but the dough was fabulous. We want to try the pizza one next visit. They were all sold out of the pizza one. They also have daily specials we want to try. However, while we were there we found a hot sauce called "Matouk's Calypso sauce" AKA "Salsa Calypso" and it's made with "PICKLED SCOTCH BONET PEPPERS" (from the label) it's the hottest hot sauce I have ever had in my life. So yeah, I put some on Sir Hubbers empanada for a kick, it blasted us to planet Zog. Truly Unforgettable. Miguel's, a truly uniquely unforgettable place that is a must visit. Added to moi "most fave coffee places" lists. Highest Recommendations.

    Ordered their lechón awhile back $40 for a small. Lechón was flavorable and well seasoned. Over…read morepriced yes but I just didn't have the time to cook at home. Guess you pay for the connivence.
