Date of Visit: Aug. 29, 2026…read more Before I begin let me start with this. I don't use YELP to complain about a single visit. Before I start a review or even visit a new discovery I see what others say. I see reviews from people for (1) start just to rant about prices or portions and it's the reviewers only post. Some even write they been coming for years and it was great but that one bad visit justifies a (1) star? Sorry for my rant. I will begin. It was Saturday morning, the wife was out of town on a girls trip and it was me and Fritz (986) out for a drive. My lunch destination today is the Burger Station. From St. Pete I took US19 all the the way to Ingles to check out the Cross Florida Barge Canal. It is an interesting site. After that it on to the Burger Station. My first attempt was a while back and the lot was full and had to continue. This day there was room, it was 1:30. Not sure what to expect only what I have read from on-line articles which is why I am stopping today. As I walked inside I saw the counter where the orders are taken, great. Checking out the menu on the wall I decided on the Double Cheese with LTO and an order of fries. They have fountain drinks too. After ordering found a table/booth and took in the ambiance of a retro store. Decor was nicely done and clean. It didn't take long and my burger arrived. Yes, they bring it to your table. It looked great, well put together. However, I was a bit put back with fries. I prefer a regular straight cut with no coatings. Like Checker fries, but hay, people must like them. Most reviews they really liked the onion rings, next time. First bite and I could tell the LTO was fresh and Lettuce crispy. The burger was also done right too with the cheese nicely melted, should of tried the onion rings. Overall I will return, to try a shake and the rings. Service was great and clean place. If you find your self on US 41 and needing a bite to eat, I recommend. Peace.

My girlfriend and I were in Inverness antiquing and tried Pudgee's on a whim…read more We hadn't heard anything about it and assumed it would be a mom n pop diner environment. Not so! Pudgees is a burger and Hot dog shop par excellence. What a wide assortment of options. From merely big food to titanic portions for the champion eaters out there. We both tried the half pound burger and wow.Tasty- and two hands full. Burgers of this size require grip strength and endurance to keep it from exploding like a deck of cards. My initial bite (a gator sized one) merely grazed the perimeter. I was sent scampering off like a chihuahua tail between my legs whimpering. I regained my pride in time and went back to combat with that beast, the details of which I will spare you. I emerged victorious but both my girlfriend and I agreed we could have shared one. I would like to go back again and again to try their various hot dogs and a pork cutlet sandwich which appears insane. I hope to see you there. Maybe you will be the champion taking on the cutlet sandwich. Oh lord.

She did nothing until he woke up and started vomiting across the table, stools, and condiments. Other tables got up and moved; some left. She handed him an empty beer pitcher. He kept vomiting into it in front of other guests, then he spilled the pitcher over the table and floor as he passed out again. Management was nowhere to be seen. Another table told the waitress to call an ambulance. She refused. Eventually someone carried him out and sat him in a chair in front of the building. There was no apparent concern for his safety. It was obvious to people around us that she did not want this reported because she had overserved him. We will not return.

Almost forgot about the pub menu!! But my prior Yelp Pics saved me. Salami and pepperoni sandwich with pickles. Rich but great.

That's a solid amount of food for $7.99. No complaints there. And listen... I REALLY wanted to try that peach cobbler roll. TikTok has been hyping it up like crazy. The app said my order would be ready in five minutes and that I could head to the drive thru. I pulled up in exactly five minutes, and my food was ready. Hot and fresh. Love that for me. The fish sandwich was good (though I probably should've added cheese). The fries? Always on point. The mozzarella sticks had that satisfying cheese pull we all hope for. And that peach cobbler roll? Whew. So good. Like... actually good. I'm glad I got to try it. Now let's talk about the Diet Dr Pepper. It was crispy and very fizzy, no issues there. I only gave it another shot because of that girl on TikTok who made up a whole jingle about Dr Pepper. After a few sips, I remembered why I'm not really a fan. But that had nothing to do with Arby's , it was not flat. The server at the window was friendly, and there were no cars in the drive thru, so I didn't have to wait at all. I hadn't been to Arby's in over a year, but this $7.99 box brought me back. So when people ask, "Who is keeping Arby's in business?" It's me. I'm people. Their food is always on point. Plenty of parking outside. Not too busy.
