    Big Buford
    Art C.

    Very good fries I can't dispute the other negative reviews. My interactions with the Checkers crew was short and to the point. During that time they were neither happy or rude, they just took my money and handed me my food. I prefer happy, but getting the job done is ok. They have no seating inside, but they do have some concrete tables outside, and I settled in to enjoy my Big Buford combo meal. The sandwich was pretty good, but the star of the meal were their fries, crispy and famously seasoned, as they described them on their website. They even have a burger with the fries between the bun. My one negative had to do with an inconvenient start. I drove in from behind the restaurant and not directly from Cortez, and found my only option was to go through their drive-thru. They have a few parking spots but angled for cars from Cortez. They have 2 lanes, one on the left and the other on the right, but the right lane was closed. So, I could order ok but was sitting on the wrong side of the car to reach to the window where they pass you the food. I don't know what others do, I simply got out of my car and walked up to the window to pay and get my food. While I ate, they did open that right lane, so could have just been a brief staffing thing.

    They're using an automated telecom system. They got the order wrong, over charged us and told us to take it up with corporate.

    Horrible. Food is wrong and gross. Staff has an attitude when they can't tell the difference in a burger and chicken.

    Someone needs to do something with this location. I love checkers but come on, this stores management is poor at best.

    Amazing place in Lakewood Ranch! I'm so happy to have a great brewery/restaurant close to home…read morejust like what I was used to where I moved from years ago. Great food, awesome beer selection, and love the vibe! Had the dry rub wings today along with a couple hazy's. Excellent! For those posting negative reviews, I urge you to give them another shot. We were there the night they reopened after Hurricane Milton, as it seems were half Lakewood Ranch! It's an understatement to say they were slammed! They were doing the best they could given the circumstances. Yet there was a table close to us that found fault. Give it a friggin rest people! Everyone is entitled to have an "off day", especially after a Cat 4 hurricane rips through your area! Inner Compass didn't have to reopen as quickly as they did. But they did anyway because they were serving a real need. If people don't see that, then that's on them! I've never had a bad meal there. Yes, occasionally service is slow or less attentive but if you look at the wider picture of what's happening in the moment, there's a real, legitimate reason. People, don't just get stuck in your own bubble and actually take time to observe what's going on around you! In the meantime, I plan to go to Inner Compass as often as I can for my ICB Beer Cheese Burgers and Hazy Boys!

    The beer selection was good and the indoor atmosphere is pretty big and welcoming,…read more Analia was an excellent server! Everything was amazing . However, I wisher there had been more tables with umbrellas and either new sod or astroturf for the rear yard area.

    Skinny's is an institution…read more Whenever we're in town, no matter what we have going on, we need to stop at Skinny's. Plenty of seating options inside and out, sand flooring everywhere The food is prime - burgers are juicy and flavorful & the fries and onion rings are always hot and crispy. Great bang for your buck too!!

    Skinny's is exactly what you'd hope for when looking for an afternoon burger joint on the island…read more Lots of outdoor seating, solid service, and very respectable food. The place is a little hole in the wall that gets quite a bit of traffic on the weekends, but we managed to get our food within 15 or so minutes despite the crowd. The food overall was good. Not amazing, not bad, just good. Burgers are easy to do well and hard to do REALLY well, and Skinny's knows this in stride. The burger itself is a fine deal (especially considering tourist prices): $9 for a cheeseburger. However, what put a sour taste in my mouth (metaphorically) was the chicken bites. See that little plate of 5-6 chicken nugget things? Yeah, that was $11. Very tasty, but at $2 a wing, that is truly the ripoff of a century. Overall, Skinny's hits the middle of the road in all aspects: food, ambiance, value. And when other joints are charging an arm and a leg for a decent meal, Skinny's stays true to its roots: a solid burger and fries, a cheap beer, and a full belly for under $20.
