    If you want a break from Legoland food or are in the area for another reason I highly recommend…read moreLucille's. I told the waitress to tell the boss they need to give the chefs a raise to keep them! We left Legoland on Sunday because they close at 5, plus it was raining. Lucille's had good reviews so I said let's try it. I love sitting outside so I envisioned some sort of patio area, sure enough, they had a beautiful patio. Beautiful ambiance. 10/10 highly recommend. Really good food.

We take a trip to Legoland every now and again and every time we do we come and eat dinner here. We have loved every single meal. This time I branched out and tried another drink, I tried the sincerely, Lucille. It is vodka with fresh strawberries and basil, and it is amazing. Future Christina this is your new go to drink. My husband got his standard old-fashioned and enjoyed it. For food, I got the chimichurri steak, next time I should remember to get the chimichurri on the side just because my younger son didn't like the green stuff on the steak. The chimichurri is delicious. It was cooked perfectly at medium rare, I got their homemade chips as one of my sides because my kids wanted it. Their chips are so good that was definitely the way to go. I also got green beans which were amazing as well. My older son got the kids mac & cheese with a side of fries. I even loved his mac & cheese. It's definitely not the Kraft mac & cheese. My husband got the barbecue plate. He had mixed vegetables and mashed potatoes and loved all of it. My younger son ate off of all of our plates and we pretty much finished all our food. My younger son then got a dessert of vanilla ice cream with Oreos and he scarfed it down. We've never had a problem getting a seat here because it is a good size restaurant. The staff is very friendly and the food comes out pretty quickly. If you're anywhere close to this restaurant, you should be eating here.

We will frequent a place who can provide better service. Despite the crap customer service I called back and tried to place and order today. The owner was upset with this food and refused to give me food. He was never told no growing up and didn't like being told about himself and is holding a grudge. instead of taking my money and admitting he was wrong and fixing the issue when it happened, he'd rather continue to lose money and get upset like when you tell a 5 year old NO

The four of us got seated right away by very friendly staff. All smiling all pleasant and professional. Kimberly came by almost immediately and got our drink orders. Since the bar was backed up she brought us waters and asked if we had any questions. All good! Drinks came by in a couple minutes and we had already settled on our food choices. Then the onslaught of food began! HUGE bowls of salad that were then dished into chilled salad bowls. Kimberly left the big bowl for us to have seconds. Then the rolls arrived. Damn. I need room for dinner. Oh well the rolls were smothered in cinnamon sugar butter by me and devoured. I can take the entree home I guess. Well no. The fajitas arrived with tortillas and a side plate of sour cream, lettuce and tomatoes. Guess I will suffer through them. Man was that steak and chicken tasty. Only a small portion came home. Could not have been a better experience. Noise level was enough that we could talk but others could not hear us. Got seated near Elvis so it was a fun atmosphere. Kimberly kept checking back and then at the end we got the secret lovely parting gifts. You have to be a local to know about them. Just keep your eyes open for people as they leave. Thanks again Kimberly!

We ordered the 10-ounce sirloin with stuffed shrimp and loaded mashed potatoes, which we split because the portions are very generous. We also had a side salad, and it was outstanding. It comes with their creamy garlic ranch dressing, which is absolutely delicious. Before the meal, they also bring warm rolls with cinnamon butter to the table, and they're always a treat. One of the things we enjoy most about Manny's is the fun, quirky decor and lively atmosphere. It's a casual and welcoming place. This visit wasn't quite as good as our previous ones. The service was a little slower than usual, but we believe our waiter was new and still getting comfortable. Our steak also arrived dry and lukewarm. The food itself was good but it would have been even better if it had been served hotter. Even with those issues, we still had an enjoyable meal and will definitely be back. Every restaurant has an off day, and Manny's Chophouse continues to be one of our favorite places to stop after a Disney trip.

She wasn't rude but she definitely had an emptiness about her... almost like she really hates being there to paint a better picture for you. The food was alright at best. Would I go back there again? Probably not. We didn't have a great experience here but it wasn't a horrible one either. A better waitress would have made the experience better for visiting but the food was still just alright. I wish I took photos, but it would just look like the rest. Looks good, just really depends on your pallet overall.

Now menu can be little complicated if you haven't try Indian cuisine , which brings back the important part of staff be more engaging with customers to get a great sense of what you serving , maybe any specialties of the chef ? . But food was great , was brought up very fast and it was great flavor and presentation. Place has plenty of seating space but I think been this place so inside in the shopping center is really hide out , if you can show more from street that you are there I'm sure people will try your business more ... So overall great food , great prices and great inside ... little work to been seen from street and staff to be more engaging and you could be 5 stars.... Btw restaurant name now is red chilly's

Perfectly cooked, crisp, and full of flavor. Even the coleslaw was awesome. But the tartar sauce deserves special recognition. I have no idea what they put in it, but it was genuinely the best tartar sauce I've ever had. I would go back for that alone. Harry's has the kind of relaxed, old-school local atmosphere that's getting harder to find. Great seafood, great service, great price. If you're on your way in or out of LEGOLAND, definitely stop by.

They were steadily busy throughout the evening so a wait is possible if you were to arrive at peak time. The setting is casual and in an old house- hence the name. If you ask to be seated in the back room, you'll have a view of the lake. The servers were very friendly and efficient. Food and drinks were prompt! We shared the onion loaf to start and had a variety of dishes around the table from steak, lobster tails, grouper, scallops, and the multitude of accompaniments. Everything was cooked beautifully! Especially the scallops. That was probably my favorite since they melted like butter in the mouth. I also enjoyed the hush puppies that were served with every main dish. Bonus points for the fact that many of the dressings and sauces are made in house. Since it was an occasion, we had some chocolate cake for dessert which didn't disappoint. The cake was rich and fudgy. My dad is a regular so I am definitely sold. The man is a critic and if he is impressed, I know something must be good! I was also impressed and can't wait to come again.

We decided to try this Outback after receiving a $100 gift card and we were going to a scheduled concert nearby (The Ritz), The tickets included a free appetizer of your choosing at this particular Outback, so what's not to like when it comes to trying the place out? We are very glad we did! The food and service (looking at you Fred!) were fantastic. I ordered the 13oz Rockhampton Ribeye* & Choice of Shrimp (13 oz. hand-cut ribeye with Grilled Shrimp on the Barbie or Coconut Shrimp. Served with two freshly made sides [house salad and baked potato]). The better half ordered the Sirloin* & Alice Springs Chicken (center-cut sirloin with 5 oz. grilled chicken breast topped with sauteed mushrooms, crisp bacon, melted Monterey Jack and Cheddar, and honey mustard sauce. Served with two freshly made sides). We used our free appetizer on the Bloomin' Onion. A bread loaf and the onion came out first, with the house salad shortly thereafter. I knew I was in for a world of hurt before the main course arrived; and it came to fruition. The above three items that came out beforehand were all delicious and that bloomin onion was bloomin HUGE. We ordered our steaks medium rare and they did not disappoint. Both were warm, juicy and tender. The baked potato was okay, albeit nothing special even with the works piled on. We both ended up taking half our steaks home, as well as half that onion. The steaks heated up nicely the next day and were still great in the taste department. The place was not loud, clean and well maintained. When we want to drop a Benjamin+ we'll return and hope the experience is just as satisfying. As of now this Outback gets the 5 star rating (Fred the waiter bumped it up from 4+).

I had to add a touch of salt to them BUT I'd rather do that than have them overly salty. This burger was juicy and so tasty. The service was incredible. I meant to get the girl's name at the register but I forgot to. She was so pleasant, actually had a personality and didn't act like some others in the service industry who act as if you're bothering them. I didn't see a distracting cell phone in sight. All of the people in our party loved the food and we have some pretty picky eaters in our bunch. We also had the cheeses pickles egg rolls. They were different. I'd like to see a little more cheese in them but I don't know if they are homemade or not. I've never seen anything like those on any other menu before so they may be a custom creation. They were good just could use a little more cheese in my opinion but I'm a cheeseaholic. Adler's has a small indoor eating area. They have a bigger outdoor eating area.

We started with the pretzel appetizer, which was hot and crispy on the outside while staying pillowy soft on the inside. The wasabi mustard is a game changer and easily the standout accompaniment. The queso is your standard yellow queso, similar to classic nacho cheese. We tried the Kingpin Brisket Sandwich with barbecue sauce on the side. The brisket is finely chopped but could benefit from more seasoning on its own rather than relying on BBQ sauce to carry the flavor. The pineapple slaw and onion straws add nice texture and layers of flavor, which makes you hope to see improved brisket quality in the future. The Philly was ordered to-go, and the portion size felt small for the $16 price point. The steak again lacked seasoning, though the bread was toasted nicely. It comes with peppers, onions, and mushrooms; I opted out of peppers and didn't really notice any mushroom flavor coming through. Overall, the menu has a wide variety of sandwiches, burgers, and wings, but I'd like to see improvements in seasoning, protein quality, and overall consistency. On a positive note, the server was very friendly and efficient, and the pickup process was smooth. Looking forward to trying additional offerings in the future and hoping to see some quality improvements across the menu.
