3.5 stars Finally made it here after driving around with my…read morebest friend, we discussed going to Pom Pom's since it had been years since we stopped by the no longer existing location near downtown. Stopped by after a drive down from Casadega and we were starving. After taking a look at the other selections of places to dine while there, I went with the Woody ($17) with a Sprite ($3). The sandwich was delicious with a thick bread which was nicely toasted, filled with pastrami meat. The cold serving of Thousand Island dressing and Southern slaw mixed in with the thinly sliced red onion was a good combination in the sandwich. The selection of sandwiches offered was smaller than what used to be in the old location but that's to be expected, I guess. It's a different time, stuff is more expensive. The service was great and friendly.

As a long time Pom Pom's lover, this was a bit disappointing. Since moving to Sanford, Pom Pom's…read morehas cut the menu down, raised prices and no longer serves tea. I asked the woman behind the counter if they had tea and she was so incredibly rude. I ordered a Veggie sandwich and it was fine, nothing special and was almost $20 after tip. It comes with ruffles chips, which was also a disappointment given the sides used to be so good. Ultimately, I don't think Pom Pom's is worth it anymore.

We were welcomed with warm smiles and walked straight to the deli. We shared the Rubinstein and bratwurst (everything on it). It's true - it does take a while for the food to be made but it's so worth it. The meat is sliced is front of you and made to order. My favorite is their cucumber side that's drenched in dill sauce. $2+ beers for happy hour, everyday! Kolsch beer all the way, baby! Shoutout to the chef making our sandwiches. I didn't get his name but he's a super nice guy with a black beard. He was apologetic for the wait - but we assured him there's no rush. We will always wait for quality food! Another shoutout to Priscilla, who was so kind when cashing out our order. We're so ready to come back... tomorrow (haha)! Thank you, Hollerbach team who worked tonight (3/29/2026). We hope you always serve us. Now I don't have to travel 10 hours to Europe for a brat. Love this place.

Absolut kostliche und authentische deutsche Desserts, täglich frisch serviert !…read more Yes I am German so I had to make this review authentic since this amazing place brings back all the good memories of my roots and childhood. If you want fresh baked bread, desserts , great bier and ingredients , you must come down to this gem located in Sanford Florida! The market has a great variety of deli meats, bakery items, pantry ingredients and of course German candies and chocolates. After you shop, grab a bratwurst and cold bier and sit outside to enjoy the surroundings or go next store the Hollerbachs restaurant and have lunch or dinner. This is the best German market & restaurant in Florida !

Young girl at the register was nice, tall cook with gotee and baseball cap, NOT so friendly. He didn't say my name correctly which is ok. However, when I went to retrieve my food, eyes locked in, big smile on my face (I was hungry, lol) , and said thank you - death look. No expression, no - your welcome, enjoy, etc. I was hesitant to even say this but this is what this platform is for.. borderline racist as he was nice to other people of lighter skin ); . Just made me feel not welcomed at all. I even said thank you twice. Sometimes kitchens can be a little loud and I can understand if he didn't hear me the first time,, but I know he saw my lips move as we were looking right at each other... Anyway. Overall food was good, a little pricey for a sandwich, fries and a can soda though. For nearly $22 you can eat at sit down restaurant, have quality food and be served with sit down experience. Overall I'd come back as I know what to expect from this location. I've visited another location on LEE RD for to-go but I was in and out... I had the Daily Cheesesteak special. $16.95. I added a cheese sauce $1.30. All together 21.36 total.

Best Happy Hour we have found in downtown Sanford. You seat yourself after ordering from the bar…read moreas no servers outside at this time. We came twice during our trip because of the great outdoor dining experience and excellent service from the bartenders. They have a very limited menu and the lady working it, stayed on her phone lol. The bar is clean enough but the ladies restroom could benefit by a deal clean and fixing up a bit. The atmosphere is so nice and it's kid/pet friendly. One thing I especially loved were the nice wine glasses you can take outside. So many places have gone to plastic and while we understand, it's so appreciated. Come with confidence.

Celery City Bar is hands down one of the most unprofessional bars I've ever stepped into…read more Both bartenders were visibly drunk, rude, and acting like they were the main characters in a sad little power trip. I ordered an espresso martini from one bartender. Another randomly made it without confirming, then absolutely spiraled when I asked about my drink. Instead of clearing it up, he chose public humiliation berating and talking down to me at the bar like I'd committed some unforgivable crime. Full medieval town-shaming energy. Shame bell not included. What were they busy doing instead of their jobs? Flirting with freshly-21 customers and openly staring at their chests. If you weren't new, young, or feeding their ego, you were invisible or worse, a target. Two grown adults behind a bar acting like sloppy, insecure children with alcohol and an attitude problem. No class. No taste. No professionalism. Just embarrassing behavior that would get you fired anywhere that actually cared about standards. Save your money, skip the humiliation, and go literally anywhere else.

I've been to this Subway numerous times over the years and I have never had any major issues or…read morecomplaints other than the parking lot can be a cluster. The lot is small, shares spaces with several other businesses in the same plaza, and is butted up against 17-92, making difficult to enter and exit easily. On my most recent visit, I needed two subs that I could save for dinner later that evening after the Creed concert in Tampa. Yes, we plan that far in advance, lol! It's always a burden to find a place to eat before and after a major concert, so we bring the cooler and our own food/drinks and save $$$$, time, and aggravation. I used a coupon - two footlongs for $12.99. The options are limited now, since the majority of subs are specialty subs and are not part of the promotion. I guess that's how they get you now. So my choices are Italian BMT, Turkey, Cold Cut Combo, Meatball, and I think Tuna. I ended up going with the Italian BMT and the Hotshot Italian, which is basically the BMT with hot peppers on it. The young lady working the counter was friendly, and was very conscious about washing her hands and putting of fresh gloves before making our sub's, great job! Unfortunately they only had two options of bread - wheat and white, bummer. I didn't realize I forgot to ask the server to add mayo, mustard, and spicy mayo to the sandwiches until we began eating our sub's later that day. Nancy's like why are these so bland. Totally my fault, but I do have to say the wheat bread has no flavor at all, without condiments, the sub bread is just meh. All and all, the restaurant was clean and they did a great job making my subs. Its too bad they were out the better bread options so early in the day (10:00am), and I wish they offered more variety with the coupons. Ultimately, I recommend them if you are looking for a meal at a much lower cost to eating at a sit-down restaurant.

I used to love to come to the Subway. I don't go to Subway often but in a pinch if I need a quick…read moresub I usually go here because it's right next to my house. Today I got the standard Italian sub. When I got to where I was going and finally opened it up to eat it The bread was hard and crusty. I did get it toasted before I left but it was so hard and chewy that I was unable to eat the bread so I just ate the meat cheese and vegetables. Probably better for me. I don't know I think I'm done with Subway I'll just drive the extra couple of miles to Publix. The guy behind the counter was super friendly everyone was nice in there place looks clean and well kept. I've never had a problem with the bread before.

We were craving a regular cheeseburger, and happened to see this place had good recommendations. So glad we stopped in. It's a little in the cuts, behind the bridge leaving Sanford to head to Deland, and if you aren't paying attention you might miss it. But when you get there you're blown away by the quaintness of it, the gorgeous view, and true southern hospitality. The menu is extensive, and the boast that they have the best Philly in town (will have to try it), and they also serve breakfast all day on Sundays. Oh, I totally forgot to mention that some deity must supply the veggies cause they taste heaven sent. My bf that doesn't even like tomatoes commented about how fresh and tiny they were. We got two cheeseburgers, 2 fries, and 2 drinks for under $20. Can't be beat!

It has a relaxed but energetic vibe that works great for casual nights out, meeting friends, or family gatherings. What makes it stand out is the variety. With multiple vendors under one roof, everyone can find something they like -- from tacos and seafood to pizza, ramen, and craft drinks. The flexibility to mix and match from different spots makes it perfect for groups. Great atmosphere, solid food options, and a unique setting. Definitely a go-to spot downtown.

We shared the Philly cheesesteak with no mushrooms, mango habanero chicken bites (8 ct) with sauce on the side, and garlic knots. He asked if we wanted the knots to come out first - and we said yes, that's a great idea! The cheesesteak came out first - with mushrooms. We had to send it back. Then the chicken bites came out second - with the sauce tossed in. We were shy to send it back because we are still waiting for the cheesesteak to be remade. Lastly, the garlic knots came last (when we were offered for it to come first). Maybe we'll come back on another day when it's not so busy. Their cheesesteak was good in portion! Mango habanero was spicier than what I'm used to. Garlic knots were a win.

We found parking easily and were greeted immediately inside the restaurant. The restaurant was busy, lively, and felt cozy. There was happy hour specials($5 appetizers and beer) going on when we arrived so we decided to order off that menu. To do so, you do have to order at the bar so keep that in mind. We were led to the bar room and it was spacious and alot more quiet than the main dining area. Our server was attentive and made sure we were taken care of. We had the following: Pretzel with mustard and cheese: 7.5/10 - it was a bit salty but combined with the sweet mustard was delicious! Since it was the smaller version of their giant pretzel, it was only $5 and worth every penny! It was a pretty good size and enough to share between the both of us. I liked the cheese spread too but it was bit rich for me. The mustard was definitely our favorite dip! Potato pancakes with applesauce and sour cream: 9/10 - this was by far my favorite appetizer. The potato pancakes were fried perfectly and the crispy edges were delightful! I didn't think I would enjoy apple sauce and sour cream together but it worked so well with the fried pancake. It cuts through the grease and adds a little sweetness. The portion size was hefty too for $5! Bratwurst with hot mustard: 8/10 - There were a variety of flavors we could choose from and I chose cajun since I love spicy flavors. The bratwurst was cooked perfectly and it was also cut into pieces for easy eating. For $5 you get a big bratwurst and some mustard. I wish it was a little spicier but nonetheless, it was juicy, flavorful, and had that signature snap of a great bratwurst. Jaeger schnitzel: 9/10 - my husband chose the veal and he said it's one of the best schnitzels he's ever eaten. I could see the joy in his face in each and every single bite. It came with warm, pickled cabbage and spaetzle. The schnitzel and spaetzle were covered in this absolutely delightful gravy. I had a bite of everything and it was divine! My husband has lived in Germany and he said it was very reminiscence of his time there. It was a pretty hefty portion too and I knew he loved it when he cleaned his plate completely haha Apple streusel: 9/10 - The apples combined with the flakiness of the pastry and hints of cinnamon was like a warm, cozy hug on a winter day. I cannot explain to you how yummy this was. The pastry itself was light, airy, and each bite made us smile. Definitely try this dessert out! German beer: 9/10 - Husband enjoyed his beer very much and I took a sip. It tasted pretty light and not too heavy. Overall, we will definitely be coming back if we're in the area. Service and food were absolutely great! Prices were reasonable for the portion size too! It's located in a really cute historic area that was perfect for a mid day date or to walk around and explore. They also have their own German cafe/market that you can snacks, cookies, cakes, candies, meats, cheeses, etc. from too!
