I've been a loyal customer of Frankie's Deli since they opened. I typically order the chicken salad…read moreor a sandwich, and I also place large catering orders for my customers because they genuinely enjoy the food. Unfortunately, after my most recent experience, I won't be returning. I stopped in around 3:00 p.m. and was happy to see it wasn't busy. I went to the deli counter, waited for someone to serve me, ordered my chicken salad, grabbed a soda and chips, and headed to the open register. As I walked up, the cashier called another customer over ahead of me. I waited while he spent several minutes deciding whether to pay cash or by card because of the 4% card fee. I continued standing there with my three items, to the point that I actually set them down and debated walking out. Then, instead of helping me, the cashier motioned for an entire family to come to the registereven though I had been standing there waiting before they arrived. After that, she waved over another customer, and I had to wait while a mother and her two teenagers decided which desserts they wanted. Again, I stood there patiently. When it was finally my turn, there was no greeting, no "thank you for waiting," nothing. The first thing I was asked was, "Do you have a pickup order?" I said no. She then motioned for my chicken salad container, saying she needed it. I placed it on the scale and set my other items on the counter. The cashier then asked, "Are you okay?" I simply shook my head because, honestly, I wasn't. Instead of recognizing why I was frustrated, she continued talking, making comments, and escalating the interaction rather than simply ringing me up. At that point, I asked, "Do you want to argue? Do you want me to go back and forth with you?" I then asked who the manager was. She pointed to a woman beside her, who identified herself as the owner. I asked if she could ring me up instead. Even then, the cashier continued making comments. It was only after she continued engaging me that my voice became louder in response. Rather than addressing the repeated comments from her employee or asking what had happened, the owner immediately said, "Do not raise your voice at my employee." That response was disappointing. There was no concern for the customer experience, no apology for repeatedly being skipped in line, and no attempt to resolve the situation. There was also no acknowledgment that the interaction had been escalated by the cashier's continued remarks before I ever raised my voice. The irony is that I have spent a significant amount of money catering from Frankie's Deli over the years because my customers love the food. Good food will bring people in once. Great customer service keeps them coming back. Sadly, this experience ended that relationship for me. There are plenty of places with great food, but respect and customer service matter just as much. One final thought: this is Florida not NY. Hospitality goes a long way. The aggressive, dismissive attitude I experienced isn't what I expect when supporting a local business. I won't be back.

I originally stopped by Al Madina for the first time just to check out the grocery store and…read moremarket, but I ended up discovering a new favorite spot! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm smile and friendly welcome from the owner. The store was very clean, organized, and well laid out, with a great selection of Middle Eastern foods, spices, condiments, meats, fresh produce, and more. There's also a fresh meat section in the back. I purchased a whole chicken and asked the butcher if he could cut it up for me, and he gladly did--excellent service! Then I discovered the restaurant in the back. The menu looked so good that I couldn't leave without trying something. I ordered a family-style platter to take home, and it was a HIT. For $48, we received three different meats, rice, beautifully grilled vegetables, homemade hummus, pita, and sauce. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and delicious. The best part? The platter was more than enough to feed my family of five. For the quality, quantity, and price, you really can't beat it. Great food, great service, a clean market, and excellent value. I will definitely be back!

I WILL be having that meatball sub soon! Yummmm! Then Robby (I believe that's his name), the owner, got sneaky and brought us both a mini cannoli! Holy cannoli! How can a cannoli be crunchy and creamy and light at the same time? idk but it was! This place also has items you can buy all from Italy! Pastas, sauces, etc. the coffee, beer and wine bar looked enticing too. But since I was on my business lunch break I had to pass. But... i will be taking the hubby and/or family there for dinner. They have pasta dishes that I know I Neeeed In my life! They had gelato toooo! I gotta go back! Soon!

Employees are super welcoming and helpful. Chill, hole-in-the-wall, locals-vibe with authentic Italian decor. Will def make the drive again. Skip all the other Brandon crappy chains. This is THE SPOT.

We chose cake slices as there are many options and everyone had a favorite. The cakes give me a homestyle feel. Like homemade cake and icing. Gourmet southern goodness. The cakes are slathered with lots of icing, which I mostly removed because I like my cake without. Which to me tells me how good the cake is that it can stand alone without the frosting. Hummingbird, lemon, chocolate, and carrot cakes reign supreme. The frosting on the chocolate cake makes the cake, it's fantastic. We also tried the massive cinnamon rolls which are 5 stars! I will definitely be visiting Wright's for cakes for the next party. It's sure to be a party favorite! And excited to get back to try some sandwiches, the Alpine cake, and Chill Bros icecream!

I'm from miami I'm visiting the parks as a childless gold season holder; therefore I plan to visit a lot. This is my second visit at Jason's Deli and I must say it is an absolute 10/10 experience even this second time around. Sharra was absolutely 100% attentive and helpful. Not only are the sandwiches ( I haven't yet tried anything else) but the customer service is absolutely 100% roo tier. When my order was a bit complicated ( due to my 4 hour drive back to miami) Sharra made sure to replay my demands to the chef who had no problem accommodating me. I did not get his name but it was the young man on Shara's shift with the dread locks, medium build about 23 years of Age looking. Nonetheless, I want to say thank you Jason's for always being so extra welcoming and attentive. I do want to say that the first visit was with a causacian woman. With the short court who seemed to be the manager. She wasn't as talkative or welcoming. However. I would just count her out and still say my experience at Jason's is a 10/10. Especially this visit!! Thank you Sharra. I will for sure be back in 2 weeks! xoxo SN: if you're thinking about going to Jason's;PLEASE DO!!! 10000000/10
