    Meh! Bland bland bland with undercooked and cool fries. I'll say it again, Meh!
    Steven B.

    My MD said my cholesterol was awesome, so I said, "What the hell!" and stopped here! Atmosphere- I was there at about 5 PM and the place was bustling. This location also has a drive-thru and it was also hopping. Inside was clean and bright and well maintained. Customer Service- I couldn't have asked for much more! I waited in line maybe two minutes. The girl behind the register was wonderful and very efficient. She greeted me with a big smile and I was done in maybe a minute. I ordered the chicken platter and with drink it was just under $10. This is one of those fast-casual places where they give you a number and your order is brought to your table. You need to grab your own utensils, napkins, dipping sauces, etc. from the mostly typical table. What wasn't typical was how spotless it was and heavy metal silverware as an option. That was a surprise! My food arrived in about two minutes. My server introduced herself by name and asked if I needed anything else? Another big smile. So far, I was very impressed! Food- And here is where my experience went downhill. As soon as I saw my plate I knew there were going to be problems. I tried one of the two hushpuppies and they were great. Piping hot and flavorful and moist on the inside. That was the highlight of my meal. The coleslaw was boring. It had no sparkle or zest it was just there. It was just chopped something or other in dressing. I was unimpressed. My fries were undercooked, lacking in seasoning and barely warm. I called the young lady over that had served them and asked if she could replace them. The reply was an instant, "Of course," My replacements were piping hot, under seasoned and boring. They were a complete waste of space. It's interesting that three other tables of four also asked for replacement fries. It would be great if they could get it right the first time! My chicken should have been the star of the show, but it was anything but that. The pieces had an extremely thick hard batter that was devoid of seasoning once again. The chicken inside was hot and moist but the batter armor spoiled everything. What a culinary disaster. The dipping sauces helped to save a very mediocre meal. Conclusion- There were a lot of folks here that seemed to be happily chowing down their meal. Maybe their model is to save everything with their dipping sauces. In any case the food was so lacking in seasoning that I won't be back. This location was surrounded with other restaurants with much better food. I suggest you avail yourself with one of them.

    I have to say, I loved the ambiance of Gavaghans. I am not entirely an Irish pub kind of girl, but…read morewhen you are in Rome you do what the Romans do, right? And in Sebring, that means you walk into the cool Irish pub on the circle and soak it all in. The interior alone makes it worth the visit. Dark wood, warm lighting, that cozy tucked-away pub feel that makes you forget you are in the middle of Florida. It feels transported. It is one of those places in Sebring that you just have to see because it is so unexpectedly cool inside. Service was great. I was there for a quick in and out, so I sat at the bar and kept it simple with a chicken Caesar salad. Nothing fancy. For the price, it was very fair, and the flavor held up. No complaints. It did exactly what it needed to do, which was give me a solid meal in a comfortable setting without overcomplicating things. Now let's talk about Sebring itself. Sebring is one of those towns in the middle of nowhere Florida where you find yourself thinking, "I wonder what it would be like to live here?" while also scratching your head a little. It reminds me of The Villages before The Villages became The Villages. There is a concept there. It is adorable. It is charming. And most of the time, it is very, very quiet. Personally, I would go stir crazy living there full time. But I can absolutely see the appeal. And to be fair, Sebring is not always sleepy. It comes alive during major events like the legendary 12 Hours of Sebring at Sebring International Raceway, which draws racing fans from all over the world. There is also the Sebring Soda Festival, the Highlands County Fair, and various car shows and seasonal events that suddenly flood the town with energy. During those times, I imagine the entire vibe shifts. If I were to come back, it would be for one of those big events or for some serious antique shopping, because that is where this area quietly shines. Gavaghans fits perfectly into that Sebring personality. Cozy. A little unexpected. Solid. Worth stepping into. Even if you are not an Irish pub person, it is one of those spots that makes you think, okay... I get it.

We sat ourselves at a table nearest a window. The place is dimly lit. We placed our order at the bar. We did not wait long for our meal. We each had the Cesar Salad with Bacon bits and a glass of red wine. The salad was a generous portion, fresh and crisp with just the right amount of housemade dressing. We each ate half of the salad and took the remaining home. The place was quiet with only one other table seated. We were able to converse with each other in a relaxed and unhurried atmosphere. It was a most pleasant evening. I recommend Gavaghans and plan to return on a weekend when the place might have a more livelier vibe.

    Finding my way in the more rural areas of our fine state for work - and literally driving there and…read moremy meetings on an empty stomach - I found Cody's on the recommendation of a Yelp bro & stopped for a late lunch / early dinner before heading back to the 305. The decor is classic 50s roadside diner with old license plates on the wall, an old pickup truck outside and a TV on ESPN by my table. The menu is classic Americana / diner fare with a southern touch. I'd been on an empty stomach through my 3 hour drive and meetings, so by the time I sat down to eat, I almost would have even eaten the paper the menu was written on :) Since it was a little bit on the chilly side, I started with their hearty cup of baked potato soup, deliciously loaded with cheese & bacon bits in a stew. Their warm, buttery and fluffy rolls topped with cinnamon butter were worth every single gram of carbs and almost functioned as a dessert themselves. Then came my yummy main dish, a roasted half chicken with just the right amount of skin and garnished with a smoky barbecue sauce. It was a sizable bird, taking up a nice bit of plate real estate, though leaving just enough room for a warm and topped with butter sweet potato. Needless to say, I still had room for dessert, and enjoyed their Keylime pie. Mal, my waitress, was very pleasant and I didn't have to wait for soda refills. Plating was also on time. I noticed they also had a Valentine's Day local special. It seems like this is a happening place in Sebring and I'd stop by next time I'm in the area.

We ended ordering the steak tips. I ordered with out the mushrooms my husband had with. We were excited that it came with a delicious all you can eat salad and rolls. I usually do not take seconds of salads but the garlic ranch dressing was delicious. The food came out and we were again very pleasantly surprised! Our waitress was extremely kind and kept checking on us. The restaurant has a very country cozy feel....we most definitely will be back again!!

Very nice, tall blonde. She was very honest. She told us the steaks aren't local. She then told us about the fries that are hand cut everyday aren't crisp. They're more flimsy. She also let us know they make 3 homemade salad dressings. We ordered the fried pickles first. They came out small cut, with ranch dressing and seasoned well. I actually liked them. We then ordered our meal. We picked our steak of the rib eye 18 oz. We ordered it medium rare. Steak also came with 2 sides or you can get up charged for other items. I got fries and the mashed potatoes. My wife got her 2 sides as she was also charged 6 dollars for 2 sides and a salad. She got the baked potato and cabbage. The steak came out perfect. Good char on it. Medium rare was good. I liked it a lot. Not tough. The fries like she said came out limp. They weren't bad. Mashed potatoes were good. Nothing to write home about. My wife said the bake potato was good. And the cabbage was ok. The waitress was attentive and made sure our drinks were full when needed. Overall, I'd say the food was a 4.4 with the salad being a small plate with normal stuff. The fries were also missing that crunch factor. The mashed potatoes were ok. The steak is what saved it and the pickles.

The gator itself tasted rather plain and uninteresting. The burgers are substantial, cooked and seasoned well, and the toppings are fresh. It's a little quirky to offer both crinkle cut and hand cut fries, but I can vouch for the hand cut fries being good. The sweet tea is real here, and I took a cup to go. Service was kind and genuine. The dining area was comfortable enough and full of local flair. I decided to deduct one star due to the lack of unique flavor from the food. Everything tasted fresh and good, but nothing special.
