Cute little down home family diner. Scrambled eggs were a bit over cooked however the pancakes were large and very good. Service was slow but wait staff very friendly. I would have rounded up to 5 but we were over charged for the small ceaser salad with grilled chicken. Per the menu small salad $5.00 and added chicken $3.50. We were charged $12.50! When I mentioned that he should honor the menu price. He apologized said they were changing the menus next week and still charged us the $12.50 anyway. That's just bad business..

Country Fried Steak.  Delicious!

I looked at the excellent Yelp ratings for this place and just had to give it a go. Eight of us in my motorcycle group descended on Papy's about 8:45 in the morning. We were seated immediately. My Country Fried Steak with scrambled eggs and toast was delicious and delivered to me promptly. The other guys had a variety of entrees, and all were pleased. The restaurant and their restrooms were very clean and the decor was typical of the mom and pop diners found in rural Florida. The exterior was well maintained and the site parking was adequate. Papy's is now on our motorcycle group's list to return to in the near future.

Cute place And friendly service. I just wish the turkey club was roasted turkey breast instead of Deli meat. It would have brought the sandwich to 5 star level.

Omelette

Busy place and lots of locals, which makes total sense since the food was excellent, service was excellent and this little place has a great vibe. A must stop if you are passing through.

My mom and I visited this restaurant this morning. We both ordered the same thing. Pancakes with two eggs and bacon. Everything was well prepared and delicious. The place is very clean and the servers were friendly. We will definitely return to this place.

Great service but food was just okay. Not worth driving out of my way to eat there. I would not return if I was in the area.

Ever just seen the sign for a restaurant and without even trying it you instinctually know it'll be…read morefantastic? Welcome to Albelo's Sub Shop. I've had this place bookmarked to try for months and finally had it today. It did not disappoint! Shoestring fries with just the right amount of seasoning/perfect crispy freshness and a large pressed cubano was my lunch. The ladies running the show were friendly and helpful. When I say this Cuban was Stupid Good, this is what I mean: have you ever eaten something so good you involuntarily make noises that sound like awesome bedroom stuff is happening? Yeah?! Embarrassing. Who cares though cus it's so damn good! 10 out of 10. I'm coming back sooner than I should. Don't skip this place. The ONLY thing I'd recommend that could possibly make this place better? Seed oil free mayo/cooking oil, etc and beef tallow fries! I'd pay extra for same items if Albelo decides to go full on MAHA here. Just my 2 cents!

My son and I had been working in the yard and were pretty hungry. We had both heard good things…read moreabout Albelo's but had yet to try it, so we took the plunge. It didn't disappoint. Neither of us were in the mood for a bunch of bread, so I know that a sandwich spot seems like an odd choice, but Albelo's had us covered. Many of their sandwiches can be served as a "protein bowl" so we opted to do that with their Philly Steak. You cannot do that with all of their sandwiches, which we learned after a slightly awkward back and forth between us, the cashier, and the chef. But we landed on something that was satisfactory and both the chef and the cashier expressed care that my son and I were happy with our choice. The place is a little small and indoor seating is limited, so keep that on your radar. But the food was fantastic and both my son and I resolved that we need to go back and try other options on the menu.

It's lightly breaded and fried to perfection. It is always great!!!! They have great sides like fried okra, baked beans, grits and cheese grits, green beans, fries and more. I've never tried their other fish dinners personally, but others I have been here with have and they enjoyed. Our server, Brian was friendly and attentive. It's not a fancy place, but you will definitely get a good meal here!

We were traveling from Southern Florida up to Charleston and decided to stop for a quick sandwich…read moreat Sam's St. John's Seafood. The reviews looked decent, so we figured: why not? It was clearly short-staffed -- I only saw one cashier handling things -- but the place wasn't empty. There was a big table (10 or so people) and others waiting to be seated, so I understood things might move a little slower. I ordered and was told it would be a 15-minute wait. It was raining, and our car was parked kind of far away, so I stayed inside. There were no seats available, so I sat in a vacant booth near the register in an unused area. The cashier immediately told me I couldn't sit there because it was a "clean area," which naturally raised the question... so is everything else not clean? I said, "No problem -- I'll stand outside in the rain," and she literally responded, "OK." For context on the wait time: I managed to write 97% of this review before the food showed up. The food situation didn't get better. After about 30 minutes, I told the server/cashier I couldn't wait much longer. She asked if I wanted the manager and I said that would probably be a good idea. I waited another five minutes... and instead of a manager, she came out with my food and handed me the bag. To her credit, she was very nice and apologized -- and she also told me something that explains a lot: she's trained to say "15 minutes" regardless of how long it actually takes. That's... not a great system. As for the food: the sandwich was fine for what it was, although there was a little too much bread. But the french fries and fried okra were lukewarm and soggy, which was disappointing after that wait. Bottom line: I can handle a busy place and I can handle staffing challenges -- but the attitude, the seating/rain situation, and the inaccurate wait time made this stop more frustrating than it needed to be. If you're looking for something quick, just know that "15 minutes" may not mean 15 minutes.

Stella's continues to impress with fresh ingredients and absolutely incredible bread. I wasn't sure since it being 2 years since I was here if they would have the breakfast I had last time. I was surprised they did have it so I ordered the Spanish Egg Breakfast, which came with arugula, chorizo, heirloom tomatoes, ciabatta toast, and a preserve. The eggs were perfectly cooked, the chorizo added a great smoky-spicy kick, and the heirloom tomatoes were sweet and juicy. The arugula balanced everything out with a slight peppery bite, and the ciabatta toast was just amazing--crispy on the outside, soft inside, and perfect with the preserve. I also had the Jamón Serrano Sandwich & split it with my bf. It was just as good as it sounds. The jamón serrano, manchego, and basil pesto were a perfect combination--savory, nutty, and herby--all sandwiched between that same incredible ciabatta. Every bite was fresh and flavorful. The atmosphere is cozy, and the service was friendly, though the wait was a little longer than expected. Still, the quality of the food made up for it. Definitely won't wait as long to return next time!

It looks like a store from the outside but I did see someone sitting inside sipping wine so I was intrigued. As you walk in, there is a spacious seating area at the front of the store. Then it kind of transitions into a market store. There is a counter you order food at and pay for items. There is a small bar with seating next to that as well. We browsed the market items and picked up a couple of items. We went to the counter to pay and that is when I realized you can order food and drinks. If you order something that takes time to prepare, it is brought to you at a table. Since I ordered a glass of wine, I just waited there for it and went to sit. Hubs retrieved a beer from the fridge. The owner was the individual we interacted with and he was very pleasant. There was constant traffic the entire time we were there so I hope that means they will remain in business. The prices were not too crazy and it is a perfect place to have a drink and/ or gourmet snacks. I definitely want to return and try other items on the menu.

But for real the customer service was amazing the guy taking the orders was friendly the guy cooking was amazing as well, they were slow the food came out fast I got the og combo they used 2 chicken tenders for each sandwich one of my tenders was dry and the other one was juicy you can tell it was sitting for a little bit of time the fries on the other hand were fried fresh so they were on point all in all 6 out of 10 on the og. The buffalo mac and cheese combo was better both pieces of chicken tenders were juicy and had a nice little kick so this one was 8 out of 10. Because it's inside a Walmart may be the reason they are slow but they should really do all sandwiches to order meaning they should fry it to order once they are more busy then start doing a few more pieces at a time.

My fault I suppose. Even though this was not what we had wanted we ate it as no one was going back dealing with Saturday traffic. The chicken O.G. Sandwich was pretty tasty and very filling and the other thing in the bag was the Loaded Fries that had the crispy chicken on top and I'm thinking melted cheese, scallions and bacon crumbles. This was ok but it probably would have been better if eaten there and hot. I had wanted to try the Chicken Guy just to see how it was in comparison to all the other chain chicken places and the food is decent comparatively but from what I've heard from others and this experience I do think that they probably could use better service.
