    Devoured hash brown bowl

    Dining at this Waffle House was nothing short of extraordinary. Mellisa, our server, was exquisite--attentive, kind, and the very embodiment of hospitality. The Cheese Chicken Hash Brown Bowl was a revelation: crisp hash browns, tender chicken, and velvety cheese blending together in a symphony of flavors. Each bite was indulgent, comforting, and utterly unforgettable. Waffle House has never felt so divine. (By the way they are open inside at all times the other one in Ocala off of exit 352 was only take out)

    Surprisingly the Waffle House does not serve a big variety of waffles. I was slightly disappointed with the options. Was hoping for chicken and waffles. Breakfast options for eggs and hash browns. Server may have been new, but had to ask to refill the coffee all 3 times. Food was prepared to Order and hot. The sausage breakfast sandwich was good. The one thing not appealing was the staff mopping the floors with dirty mop water while guests were eating.

    Road trip or not Waffle House is the place to grab breakfast. The servers were friendly and did a great job at making sure our coffee cup never went empty. The cook whipped up food for our family of 9 in a jiffy! Thank you Waffle House Crew for your southern hospitality and for delivering quality food.

    It's a Florida thing

    We showed up tonight to celebrate my birthday (today), my hubby's (Monday) and our daughter in…read morelaw's (this past Thursday). Couldn't think of a better place to eat, drink and be merry at! Tonight was "trivia night", which, while we didn't play, we did enjoy trying to guess the answers. Our grand daughter's face was a big "O" of amazement when realizing the upper tables were enjoying roasting their marshmallows at their table...when she was told they were making s'mores...she went nuts! She's so excited to get tableside s'mores! My wings were even better than they were last time since there was an addition of seasonings sprinkled on them along with the dill pickles, but unfortunately, our cheeseburger pizza suffered from not having enough mustard and ketchup base to it, the tomatoes were enormous chunks and so were red onions. It made it very difficult to eat without things falling all over your clothing since they were such huge chunks on top of the tiny pieces of pizza. My husband got the steak bomb sub, son got a pepperoni Stromboli, daughter in law got the Sharon's Brie burger, grand daughter the child's cheeseburger and fries. Our apps were the garlic knots, mild wings (10) and fried cheese curds with sriracha ranch dipping sauce. Everything was okay, except that it took forever for everything to come out, compared to our first visit. Even our s'mores seemed to take forever. The quickest part of the whole visit was the bill . The fella that waited on us the first time was on point. Not saying that the young lady waiting on us was rude or anything, but I think she was trying to do too many things at once and some things just fell by the wayside. Last visit we came in on a Saturday as well, but perhaps some people are just better at multitasking? I don't know. This time, our bill was over $200 with tip, but we still brought home food again. Not a lot compared to the last time, only 2 little pickle wings (I still can't get enough of those darn things!) and maybe 4 slices of pizza. My husband's loaded tots weren't to his liking, so there's something even for the dog tomorrow We may stay away for awhile and see if they manage to work out some kinks. If anything, the best rule is consistency. If the food preparation is not consistent every time you go to eat there, there's a problem. There should be NO deviation just because someone else is cooking it. All recipes should be the same. Twice we've ordered the same items and they've been different. I still recommend this place for great vibes, cocktails, food and the tableside s'mores. There's just nowhere else like it!

There are a few tables outside, right by the door. There are signs that make it clear they are non smoking tables. We decided to eat inside, were seated right away and our server came quickly. She told us what some of the popular burgers were and we made our selections based on that. I had the Jamaican burger cooked medium. This burger was cooked perfectly, had good flavor, was topped with a sweet and spicy jerk sauce. It was everything that I expected. My friend had the Brie burger and his daughter had the smash burger and they both said those burgers were very good as well. Our server was attentive to our needs throughout our meal. I would definitely go back again.

    After an early church service, my wife and I were looking for breakfast options and Diner on the…read moreSquare popped up with good reviews. We figured, why not try it and enjoy the town square as well. Well...this place is not really located on the square...not even square adjacent. More like two blocks away from the square. I suppose Diner Two Blocks from the Square would be a mouthful. In any case, we were surprised to see how roomy the place was and quite busy on a Sunday morning. We were seated promptly and perused the menu. We ordered some coffee before placing our breakfast orders. We both ordered an omelet with my wife opting for the Tennessee Pride Sausage and cheese with fried potatoes and a biscuit. I ordered the Hickory Smoked Bacon and Cheese omelet with fried potatoes and wheat toast. Coffee was good and our friendly server, who told us this placed used to be Richard's Place that opened in 1984 before becoming Diner on the Square 6 years ago, was on it with refills. We both liked omelets...my wife liked the sausage and I liked the crispy bacon. Our server who has been working here for 36 years told my wife the biscuits are freshly made and my wife liked their biscuits. We both thought the potatoes were just OK and benefited from added salt and pepper...and some pieces were a bit underdone. All in all, a good breakfast place that regular diners seem to patronize as some of them knew and were known by our server. Breakfast for 2 came out to just under $36 with tip.

    This is an old style, everyone-knows-your-name diner. During our two visits, it seemed we were the…read moreunknowns in a roomful of regulars. Our meals came up quickly and were tasty. Service was friendly and helpful. This is mostly a breakfast and lunch place with a smaller menu than the oversize, multi-page menus other diners have. Still there was variety and enough selection to please most people.

We've seen Golden Spoon before when we ate at Milano's next door (very good Italian joint, BTW) but thought, with a name like that, it must be some Chinese place. Lo and behold, it's like a mom and pop diner. When we walked in we were surprised at how spacious it is inside. We were seated in a booth with seat cushions showing some wear and tear but comfy nonetheless. We were presented the menu and my wife ordered coffee as we perused our options. My wife ordered the Southern Eggs (2 eggs over sausage patties on grilled biscuits with gravy) with hash browns and I tried their Mama's biscuits (2 over medium eggs over fried chicken on biscuits and gravy) with house potatoes. I was intrigued by the eggs over fried chicken and our server said it's one of their more popular offerings. When our orders arrived, we realized we wouldn't be able to finish them. Those portions were quite generous! My wife liked the flavors and appreciated the toasted biscuits that stood up to the gravy. She also thought the gravy was flavorful. She wished the hash browns were crispier though. My dish was good. The eggs were cooked to my liking and the fried chicken was tender. I also wished the house potatoes were crisped up a bit but it had decent flavors. Generous portions and good value! Service was a bit spotty at times with our server disappearing for a spell. All in all, we liked the experience and will likely be back. Breakfast for 2 with tip came out to $38. We paid cash to avoid the 4% surcharge for credit card usage.

It was not very busy during our visit, but our waitress, I believe her name was Katie, was extremely attentive, professional, and friendly. Thank you, Katie! I have to say, this was the best cheesesteak I've had in Florida and trust me, I've had authentic Philly cheesesteaks up north. Of course, nothing compares exactly to the original, but this was seriously impressive and incredibly satisfying. The gyro was also delicious. Maybe it could have been heated just a bit more, but honestly, it was still so good that I happily enjoyed every bite exactly as it was served. The light music in the background created a very relaxing and family friendly atmosphere. This is definitely a place that would make for a great outing with family and friends. Best of luck to the entire Golden Spoon team. We will absolutely be coming back again, and next time we'll be bringing family and friends with us. Great job everyone!

Northgate wasn't on her list of restaurants to try out but we were intrigued by the positive reviews. From the outside, Northgate was showing its age. The menu indicated they opened in 2002 and it probably needs some updating...including the prices on the menu. The parking lot was quite full...a great sign! Our first impressions were that service was friendly and there seemed to be quite a lot of regulars who dine here as we heard a lot of conversations indicating familiarity. We were told to sit anywhere and we chose a booth. My wife and I ordered coffee and water to start out...their coffee mugs are quite big and they are attentive with refills. I ordered the Western Omelet with home fries and wheat toast and my wife ordered the Farmer's Omelet with tater tots and wheat toast. Breakfast was good with generous portions...both of us took home leftovers which was still good the next morning. All in all, a very good breakfast place (they also serve lunch) that we would likely return to. We thought the value was there. Lunch for 2 less tip was just over $30. They have a surcharge for credit card payments.

The food was excellent my partner had a breakfast, and I had the chicken with cheese and mushrooms, and it was absolutely delicious. There was a wait which simply proved that it was cooked in the kitchen and didn't come out of a bag shipped from Afghanistan. Defrost didn't thrown on the plate. The atmosphere in the restaurant is just absolutely amazing. It takes you back to the days when cafés were cafés. The relics on the wall are not the ones you find made in Japan and shipped in for decor. The real handmade type relics or hand-painted. The place is very patriotic and just a pleasure to be there. Everyone in the place seem so friendly that even though it was our first visit, we felt like it was home. I would recommend this establishment to absolutely anybody traveling through the area. I know it won't be my last trip. In fact, I'd say it will be my first of many.
