    Cattle Ranch - Steak....table bread and 2 sides...

    I've been coming to Cattle Ranch for about 25 years, and somehow it's so good every time. From the…read moreoutside, it's super unassuming, but locals know this place is a true Sanford staple. One of my favorite things about it is that it hasn't changed much over the years, but in the best way. It's family-run, the vibe is comfortable and familiar, and the staff has always been amazing. We've had countless dinners here with big groups (10+ people), and they deliver every single time. That kind of consistency is rare. What I order every single visit: Salad with house dressing, it's honestly one of my favorite dressings anywhere. Loaded Buckskins - You have to get these. Think a cross between a steak fry and a potato wedge, loaded with cheese and bacon, addictively good. Petite strip steak - Perfect portion, cooked and seasoned just right every time. Simple, consistent, and exactly what you want. They also bring out warm brown bread with your meal that just hits, and a side of applesauce that I've come to think of as the perfect little palate cleanser, such a simple touch, but it makes the experience feel even more classic. This is one of those places that feels like home. No frills, no trends, just really good food, great people, and decades of consistency. This will absolutely be a staple for me as long as I live in Sanford.

The outside of the building isn't much to look at. Some might pass by, we didn't. I rated the Cattle Ranch 4 stars but if 3.5 was allowed, it would be my choice. We were greeted right away and was seated. The inside of the building needs a refresh even more than the outside. However, the restaurant was busy, families eating, people laughing, sometimes the locals know, it's one of the locally owned restaurants, not a chain. This is a good sign. I'm all in on the local, hole in the wall places. Our Server and our service was excellent. Good menu, plenty of choices and the eight of us had just about everything, Porterhouse, Ribeyes, fillets, burgers, salads. Food was very good, no complaints, ample amounts on sides. Rest rooms were also in need of a refresh but the were working. All in all and after our experience we would return.

    I wanted a blackened fish sandwich for dinner on a Friday. I attempted Lighthouse in Lake Mary, but…read moreI have never seen it so crowded before. I had The Current bookmarked in Sanford and with it being only fifteen minutes away it was easy to get there. As I approached, I thought, "That's where it is?" I have passed the place many times but never knew it was there! It is a couter service place. Which mostly means a quick in and out. Plenty of seating inside and even some outside. I ordered my Blacken mahi sandwich with Old Bay fries and waited at a table for it to arrive. When it did, all I can say is, wow! Might of been the best blackened fish sandwich I have ever had, wow! The fries could have had a little more seaoning on them, but I was here for the fish and it ruled. Also, for a counter service place I had probably as many "how are you doing" checkins as I would have had with a table service place.

    Decided to stop here while traveling from Orlando to Daytona Beach. The time is around 2pm on a…read moreMonday and we were the only ones in the restaurant. We didn't let that deter us one bit! The service was friendly and informative. If you're a newbie like me, you'll need to order at the counter first, then take a seat at one of the communal tables. They also have outdoor seating as well as a bar. I ordered fried okra and fried shrimp. Everything was hot and freshly prepared. It's been years since I've had fried okra and this side dish did not disappoint! Hubby ordered the fried grouper sandwich and fries. Everything tasty! The food arrived quickly. I'm not 100% positive, but the food seemed to be made from scratch, i.e no pre-frozen items. We enjoyed our meal and can't wait to return. Parking is curbside.

It was a little pricey for what it was worth at full price. There was plenty of seating and the decor was nice walking in. They had a great selection of beers and drinks and although it was after 6pm, the happy hour menu looked strong! We settled for a glass of wine, old fashioned, and a beer on draft. We waited about 10 minutes for our drinks although things didn't seem to have picked up yet. The service was consistently a little slow throughout the night after that, probably due to the crowd. Our server recommended the Philly steak spring rolls. They were crispy but the inside was wet with hot oil and a little bland. I would not recommend this dish. We also ordered the Bavarian pretzel which was a classic soft pretzel, to be expected. The mustard it was served with was delicious. Lastly we also tried the buster burger which was a little soggy but the bacon jam was flavorful, a good addition. We appreciated the friendly service at Busters and hopeful to have a better experience next time we visit!

The drinks were reasonably priced, beautifully presented, and genuinely delicious--an unusually powerful combination in the world of enchanted cocktails. The menu also changes frequently, with the offerings themed around different events and occasions, which gives each visit the feeling of opening a new spellbook. As a witch doctor in search of the perfect concoction to summon a certain deity, I sampled the offerings with great determination. Though the deity remained elusive, the drinks certainly brought the evening to life. The atmosphere was welcoming, the service was enjoyable, and the experience made for a memorable night with good company. If you're looking for delicious drinks, fair prices, and a menu with a little theatrical magic, the Capital Room is well worth visiting. Just be careful what you order--the next cocktail may awaken something ancient.

    Wow. I can't believe a whole year to get over here and we live right across the street…read more Let's start out with the chips and sauce of the chips are amazing thick hot and fresh salsa is flavorful and just the right amount of hot spice. I got the fish tacos that came out hot and delicious. Scott got the fajitas with chicken steak and shrimp out of all the fajitas I've never seen one come with a big piece of cooked cactus on top. It was so good! We went here on a Saturday evening and it was not busy at all which is not a good thing It did have live music and we enjoyed listening to and play all sorts of unique music on his acoustic guitar. I think this is my new favorite Mexican restaurant I definitely will be back!

Since our last visit here was so great we decided there would be no better place to take them than Alebrije. Our server was very friendly and attentive; his name was Angel. Although Angel was awesome, we did have some issues with our overall experience. First of all, there was a very large party in the back right side of the restaurant with lots of kids in it. We wanted no part of that and requested to be seated on the opposite side of the restaurant so we can talk without all the commotion and management would not accommodate our request because they said the AC was down over there. Secondly, something horrible is going on with sewer gasses seeping its way into the dining room. This is something that needs to be addressed promptly. The third issue we had was with the menu. The menu stated that the (MIX) Fajitas we ordered would include Shrimp, Beef, and Chicken for $25, when we received the bill it was an additional $2 for the shrimp, when we brought it to the attention of Angel he said the shrimp was $2 more, we did complain but nothing came of it; in my opinion they need to clarify this in the menu because to me MIX means a variety of all the meat options. Finally, the last issue is the price for margaritas. The well large margarita with nothing special added is $18. I've had much larger margaritas for $10 and $11 elsewhere, not sure where they get off charging so much for a well margarita. On the upside, our fajitas were delicious, they had a much larger mix of vegetables when compared to our last visit; however, the skillet was not sizzling when it arrived, thankfully it was hot. Although I wasn't satisfied with the size of the margarita, it was very tasty. They could do a better job on the chips and salsa situation. They claim that if you ask for extra then there is an upcharge, they haven't charged us both times we've been here when asking for more. If they did, I would be a little more upset that the chips are served stale versus fresh, they could easily remedy this by warming them before sending out to alleviate this issue. I would come back again but honestly if that sewer smell is still their next time around, I won't be back and wouldn't recommend them going forward.
