    Waffle House is always the best! No matter the time of day, you can always count on a fresh meal made to order. It's a well oiled machine and even if there are slip ups, the staff here quickly resolved messed up orders. They were overly apologetic and we only had a few mix ups on the order. In the end, the meal was great and we got exactly what we wanted. Never doubt the power of good customer service, we could have had an awful experience, but their positive attitudes and readiness to correct errors made the meal fantastic!

    Waffles are like pancakes only better. They have little pockets to hold the syrup! I love this location. Nice staff and the food is always good.

    Horrible experience. Walked into the restaurant. Sat down for a while. Watched as others who walked in after me were greeted and served. I had to ask for help. Really poor service, just wanted some food

    Hash Brown Bowl

    Good food fast Their slogan was accurate, good is about the highest I would rate my Hash Brown Bowl this morning. As for the fast, they were incredibly fast, going from placing my order to having the bowl in front of me in about 3 minutes. The bowl had a hash brown base, with some tasteless sausage and noticeable cheese, with a couple of scrambled eggs. This is the sort of dish I would normally dump on some ketchup and add a liberal amount of salt, yet I didn't this time. I was actually fine with the bowl the way it was served. It was early and still quiet, just a few regulars and me. The restaurant is old. I sat down at the counter, which gave me an excellent view at the cooking area. This was so not a shiny sparkling clean place. I tried looking at cooking surfaces vs just equipment that was darkened by years and years of use. They need an upgrade. There was also a dish washing or dish rinsing station right on the opposite side of the counter from where I sat, so for a minute or two I had someone directly in front of me close enough to feel like we were in each other's personal space. If you visit, sit at a booth. This Waffle House is conveniently located just west of I-75 at the US 301 exit and is open 24 hours / day.

    This Waffle House is "Awful house"

    These people in here are terrible workers. They don't care if you wait forever while they talk to each other. They even went outside and talked. All while I was the only customer they had. Pitiful. Nice building with a lake side view. They are awful. Do yourself a favor and go to a convenient store and get some crackers and a coke!

This place is a typical local diner - a little dated in the decor, seating and tables and exactly where I like to be. The waitress showed up promptly to take my order and todays meal was country fried steak with home fries, eggs over hard and rye toast. It didn't take long for the breakfast to show - there was a steak knife on the plate but not needed - the prepared patty was fork tender... gravy was real good but the home fries were perfect. Will definitely have to come back and try another meal - good luck to the new owners.

    Stopped in to grab breakfast while visiting my father. I guess it's a small local chain, with 4 or…read more5 locations in the area. We were seated quicky, wait staff was friendly, it has an old timey diner feel, but much bigger than it looks from the outside. Their menu is pretty extensive, offering a good variety of breakfast items, salads, sandwiches for lunch, burgers, entrees, steaks and even seafood, though they are only open for breakfast and lunch. But there's sure to be something on this menu for anyone you're dinging with. I ordered a "Quickie" from the breakfast platters, scrambled edges with diced ham, which also came with choice of toast and hash browns. The food came out quickly (as the name indicated), and tasted great. Pricing was fair and reasonable. Based on this visit, I'd recommend Popi's Place, and would go back again to try some of their other food options.

    The food was amazing. The salad was very fresh and crisp. The chicken (sounds weird but it was also…read morereally fresh real chicken meat) was crispy, moist and great flavor. I usually don't like chicken because it's dry but another Massachusetts neighbor recommended it and I'm so glad I came to try it out. The fries were hot and perfect. The honey mustard sauce was also yummy. My husband's skillet was on the soft side. He enjoyed the flavors but the potatoes were not as crispy as he typically likes them but we'll be back. We got seated very quickly despite the full parking lot which was another win! Tammy was a cheerful and very pleasant person taking our order and smiled! It was so nice! The place was clean and busy with great energy but not too loud or obnoxious. We really enjoyed our visit.

There is some seating inside, but all the…read morereal fun is sitting outside where there's plenty of seating with fantastic views of the Manatee river. If it's too hot, or the sun is beating down upon you, ask for seats in the shaded areas/umbrellas. There's a small beach there , many kids running around, their goofing around while waiting for their meal. There is a bar area. Not huge, but since they open @ 11am.. I'd imagine that area is probably full for most of the rest of the day . So, if you're going to sit there, get there by 11:30am. We had a group of five, so we started off sharing the spicy queso dip and the shrimp and crab dip. Both are excellent, the shrimp and crab dip were to die for! A blackened chicken sandwich was tasty and quite well received. The mahi-mahi fish sandwich was blackened, still tasty but slightly underwhelmed. Should've done the grouper. Others in the group were quite satisfied with their meals. Service was good but the place is spread out and quite busy most of the time we were there, which was mid afternoon on a Saturday. This place is fantastic, and if I had to choose between Woody's River Roo & and Whiskey Joe's- I'd take Whiskey Joe's every time. They also have a better selection of craft beers. This is not meant to assassinate Woody's River Roo . The food and drinks are good there. Their prices are reasonable, Their atmosphere is good there. But pound for pound Whiskey Joe's is better. If you want to nitpick , Joe's is priced higher and their parking area is much smaller. Hence, many people choose to do the valet parking. I guess those could be construed as negatives. Again JOE's just puts out a slightly better experience.

If I were having a wedding or an event here, I would be mortified for my guests.

It wasn't too long before the burger and tots came out and honestly it was a really nice burger. Tasted good, cooked right and presented well. Maybe it was the second beer talking?

Today.. after I hadn't ordered in so long, I decided to splurge. Yes splurge.. $35 for wings and fiesta lime chicken (use to be Tequila lime chicken) is splurging for me. (Before the almost forced tip). So I was excited to come home after a long days work and have some spicy wings and my Fiesta lime chicken. First off.. DRY DRY DRY!!! Omg!!! Could both be any dryer?! The sauce in the wings is non existent as it's all soaked up in the wings. You want more.. that will be an extra $1.49 sir. I bought extra fiesta sauce cause I know I'll need it but no lime and no pico de gallo. Is it because I didn't pay extra for that? Also do we have to buy celery for our wings too? I ate three wings (well tried to.. it's like chewing on dried semi spicy jerky). Though the ranch was good. But still.. I can't eat them. Atleast enjoyably. So sadly this will definitely be my last time ordering from Applebees. I can't believe I spent $35 on dried chicken with no pico, lime or celery. If you see this Applebees.. make it right please.
