The new seasonal slushee drink was soooooo good. It makes me want to go to a tropical island and drink 6 of them lol. Really nice vibe there.

We walked through the review, and one thing became clear pretty quickly. The feta wasn't a mistake. It's part of how they build the dish. It's actually tied into their queso blanco and shows up as part of the garnish. The issue is that it's not listed anywhere in the menu description, and I made sure to point that out. To his credit, he said he'd take that back to the team. As for the rest of it, what I reviewed is what they're serving. No changes planned right now. If they ever DO make any changes, I'll be happy to re-review. He did offer a gift card, which I appreciated, but Florida Nacho Man doesn't take comps. The review stands.

There is plenty of parking in a charming plaza, and the restaurant sits right on the lake with beautiful fountain and water views. The restaurant itself is very nice, with great lighting, cute tables that each include their own personal TV, a stylish bar area, and plenty of seating both indoors and outside. Our server was great. I believe his name was Felipe or Philip. The food was also very good. Chips and Guac: Thin, crispy chips that were not overly salted. The guacamole was fantastic, with fresh pico mixed in and a true guacamole taste, not just mashed avocado. Pomegranate Chicken: My friend ordered this and loved it. It was served over couscous with a dipping sauce on the side. All of the flavors worked really well together. Steak Tips: Cooked perfectly and served with a salad. My other friend really enjoyed this dish. The meat was tender and flavorful. Kids Meal: Not pictured, but the chicken tenders came with fries. The chicken was grilled, which I thought was a great option. The fries were a hit with both the toddler and mom, who happily snacked on them too. I had a glass of Pessimist wine after asking for a recommendation for something slightly sweeter. It was the bartender's suggestion. It was just okay for me. I did not find it sweet, but compared to a drier red, it was definitely smoother and softer in taste. We really enjoyed our visit and spent some time walking around outside afterward. Such a cute spot, and we would definitely return.

After fasting for a blood test, I was starving! I could not wait to head over and check out the new…read moreKeke's Breakfast Cafe in Parkland at the Waterways Shoppes. Keke's is a chain of breakfast and lunch restaurants that opened in 2006 and is based out of Orlando. They have grown to locations all over Florida. I have dined at their Boca and Winter Park locations before. In July 2022, they were purchased by the Denny's Corporation, but Keke's continues to operate separately from Denny's. According to their website, "Keke's Breakfast Cafe is dedicated to providing an outstanding breakfast; a meal where everything is handmade, using the best ingredients available, with fresh fruits and vegetables delivered daily, and using the highest quality bread and dairy products." They pride themselves on service, cleanliness, and quality, and that is what keeps bringing me back. This Keke's location is really bright and colorful. I love the pastel color scheme and Florida-centric theme. The Parkland mural is an especially nice touch. They have a large dining room and a few seats on the patio out back overlooking the waterway. Sierra was my server, and she was so sweet and attentive. I started off with some much needed coffee, which is great here. Bad coffee is a pet peeve of mine. Keke's has the sort of indulgent breakfast menu I love, with stuffed French toast and fruit-topped waffles and pancakes. If you are not into sweet, dessert like breakfasts, they also have a savory lunch menu with sandwiches, salads, and wraps. The entire menu makes my mouth water, especially the decadent stuffed French toast options. I ended up choosing the cinnamon apple French toast and made it a combo with home fries and bacon. Everything was perfection, but my eyes were bigger than my stomach, and I ended up needing a take-home box. While I was dining, Sierra kept the coffee flowing and checked in often. If you are looking for both great food and great service, give Keke's a try. I am so glad to have a location closer to home.

Not up to the Keke's Standard…read more I was looking forward to a comforting Keke's breakfast after a morning in the heat, and was disappointed. The caramel pecan French toast was missing the caramel. The bread was airy which made for a strange texture when I added the watered down and tasteless syrup. The bread also didn't see like it was soaked in batter, just put in a toaster and plated. The bananas on the French toast were from a what seemed a 6 day old ripe banana. You wouldn't need teeth to eat them. The eggs were overcooked and had absolutely no seasoning. The manager said he doesn't like his chef overusing salt, but a bit of salt (and at least butter) is needed to cook eggs. The bacon was cooked well, but still seemed a bit chewy. The only good things about the meal were the grapes and oranges in the side of fruit. Don't think I'll come back to this location, but I won't rule out Keke's next time. The staff seemed friendly enough.

Unfortunately, the manager offered no solution or effort to correct the issue. Regardless of how food is delivered, customer service is still the restaurant's responsibility. Instead of making it right, we were left reheating and essentially finishing the food ourselves. That's not the experience you expect when paying restaurant prices. Every single item we received had to be put in the oven including the rice that were undercooked. The manager actually is trying to blame it on the Delivery driver when he admitted himself that the ribs are pre-cooked the night before and then heated up the next day. Terrible service disgusting food. Trying to respond to business manager via this review and no there is no formal way to contact.

The salad was big it had Chicken, smoked bacon, crumbled blue cheese, tomato, hard-boiled egg, cucumber, and red onion on top of crisp iceberg lettuce.

I ONLY REVIEW NACHOS…read more The bartender talked up Duffy's nachos like she had stock in the place. Turns out she was right. That doesn't happen often in this series. Hand-cut chips that held up start to finish. Queso blanco distributed across every chip. No naked chips. No lettuce avalanche. No Fork Rule violation. This is what nacho construction is supposed to look like and most places can't figure it out. The sriracha aioli exists -- I confirmed it on a napkin test. You just won't taste it on the plate. The blackened chicken and sautéed onions steamroll everything underneath them. Lose the onions, double the jalapeños, let the aioli actually show up -- this is a 9. The empty plate said everything. Every. Single. Chip. Gone. Duffy's is in the conversation. Fix the details and they might just win it. Who'd of thought?? 7.5/10 on the Florida Nacho Man scale. 4/5 stars on Yelp.

Going inside, the restaurant was packed with vibing tunes, people drinking at the bar, and fajita scents across the dining room. Tonight, we ordered 1x triple dipper with burger sliders, chicken crispies, and mozzarella sticks, and 1x grill house combo with ribs, chicken n bacon quesdillas, street corn, fries, and garlic bread. Moving on with my review, let me be clear, Chili's isn't the finest dining establishment (especially with the all salt and sugars packed in their food), but tonight was GOOOOOD! The triple dipper was great; moist bacon cheesey sliders, best mozz sticks of all time (cheese pull was unreal), and crispy/tender strips chicken crispies! The smokehouse combo was such a treat; ribs were nicely spiced, tender, and had a sticky slightly heat bbq sauce, bacon quesdillas with ranch (don't skimp out) were addictively delicious, and street corn had an awesome tangy and creamy combination of flavors! Moreover, our server was extremely attentive and friendly. Overall, if you're looking to treat yourself for something a little more indulgent than your typical dinner flare; we recommend giving this Chili's in Boca a shot! Final verdict 5/5!

Located in West Boca Square, this Chili's was packed with people causing a 15 minute wait for our party of three. Once seated, out server handed all of us a menu and gave us some time to make our decision. When she came back we put in our drink order which was sprite, Don Julio Margarita, and Captain's castaway. Next was our food order...I wanted something light so I ordered the quesadilla explosion salad. One family member ordered a bacon quac crispy chicken sandwich served with fries, while the other family member ordered bone-in wings and Texas cheese fries. I thoroughly enjoyed the salad. It was packed with greens, corn salsa, diced tomatoes, tortilla strips, cilantro, and cheese quesadillas. Dressing was served on the side. My drink was refreshing though that Captain Morgan's dark rum was slowly creeping up on me. I can't speak for my family members who were talking so much and picking at their food like a bird, but they ate their full. One thing about me...when I come me out to eat, I'm gonna eat. It was an enjoyable evening with the family. Due to work and other responsibilities I don't get together with them often. Chili's was the place for a quiet vibe, good food & conversation, and refreshing drinks.

When you walk in, there is absolutely no explanation of how to order. No host, no greeting, no signage, no "order here" instructions. Nothing. The ordering kiosk is literally behind you. It's mounted along the window and wall on the same side as the entrance door, tucked back in the corner and completely out of plain sight. You don't face it when you walk in, nothing points to it, and there's no indication that it even exists unless someone else tells you or you randomly turn around and spot it. There is no human interaction at all. You eventually realize you're supposed to order from a computer kiosk you weren't meant to notice, and that's the entire process. Once you place your order, the service somehow gets worse. The food comes out very slowly, and not together. It arrives one item at a time, spaced out randomly. There are no napkins and no utensils available, so you're forced to keep asking just to be able to eat. Drinks are served in cans, and even then, I had to ask multiple times to actually get them. Nothing is brought automatically. No one checks on you. No one explains anything. The frustrating part is this: the food is excellent. Once everything finally makes it to the table, the burgers are genuinely very good and clearly well made. So the breakdown: * Food quality: Excellent * Ordering system: Hidden and confusing * Service: Terrible * Overall experience: Needlessly frustrating This place could be really good if they added the bare minimum like signage, basic instructions, utensils, napkins, and some actual customer service. Right now, it feels like a secret test just to figure out how to order before you're allowed to enjoy the food. Great burgers. Bad experience
