    Part restaurant & part convience store.
    Steven B.

    There are plenty of Mexican restaurants in Highlands County and this one gets the job done just fine! Atmosphere- This place is a combo restaurant and convenience store which is common in this county. The store side has mostly Hispanic products but of course everyone is welcome. As a Gringo I felt completely at home here. The place is spotless, and you can sit at tables in the store area as I did or there is a somewhat secluded separate room with a little more privacy. If you look at my pic, the entrance to the separate room is in the background. Customer Service- My server was the owner, Raul, and he was wonderfully engaging. You can tell he cares a great deal about pleasing his customers. My service was excellent. Adult Libations- These folks have a beer & wine license with a basic selection of each. I had an ice cold Modelo which got the job done. Food- This is your standard Mexican menu with a few American items thrown in which is typical. As you peruse the menu there will be no surprises. I hadn't had a Chimichanga for a while, so I ordered the ground beef platter version for about ten bucks. The food was out in good time with standard plating. The Chimi was massive as you can see in my pics. I found every item fresh and flavorful but mild. I would have appreciated a bottle of hot sauce on the table. Raul, did you hear that? Overall my food was great, and I was stuffed. I see these folks are open for breakfast and that's what I'm going to try next.

    Stopped by for lunch. Ordered the Chicken Enchilada Verde and it was very good. Good texture, good flavor, fast service and very reasonable prices. Friendly staff. I will be back.

    Food was pretty good and the server was very nice! First time at this restaurant! The melon juice tasted freshly made and was very good, Also tried the mango juice which was also good. I had the taco salad with chicken which was decent, my husband had tostadas with steak & chicken, he didn't love it said it was too salty - we may come back to try different items. The place also has a market which made it interesting...

    Came out here while in the area to get some burgers and enjoy the view. My husband and I both got…read morethe cheddar burger, medium well. Staff was friendly, and the wait wasn't too long. I am a sports fan so it was nice to have something to watch while waiting for our food and while we ate, but I was a little disappointed the sound was muted and they had no subtitles. I had to use the restroom while we waited and I found it to be clean. Our food came in a timely manner and we got to enjoying our burgers, which we both loved. Our burgers were $14 each, which isn't bad and for how good they were it was worth the price. I can definitely see myself coming back in the future.

    -Family run, comfort food, at its best!-…read more These fine folks have been causing quite a stir in the county! Let's see how they are doing roughly 5 months after opening. Arriving- They are in the old Sonny's BBQ directly on US Route 27 South so getting there is a snap. The parking lot is adequate but tough when it gets busy. Note that they are open 7 days for lunch and dinner. Pro Tip- The Handicapped parking spots are unusually far away from the entrance. If you can, consider dropping off an impaired dining partner at the door prior to parking. Ambience- The inside has been completely remodeled with calming grey & black tones. There are high-tops, 2 and 4 tops, and booths. Even after five months it is immaculate. Wi-Fi- The system is there but there is NO customer Wi-Fi! Shame on them! Adult Libations- Beer and wine. I asked about red wine choices and was told Merlot or Cabernet. I chose Merlot and received a completely acceptable wine and a very large pour @$6 See my picture. Customer Service- The staff looks very comfortable in a uniform of jeans and black logo T-shirts. My service was 5-star with no complaints. A pleasant surprise is that many of the other servers smiled at me when they walked past! Food- American comfort food. Some folks call them a bbq joint as they offer ribs and pulled pork, but they have a broader menu then the typical "Q" joint. I ordered the Grilled Chicken Sandwich @$12. I chose Blackened but Lemon Pepper or plain were also available. It comes with one side from a huge list of 15 and I went with fries. Next time I'm trying Roasted Corn Salad @$3 as it looks amazing! It came out quickly and was plated nicely as you can see from my picture. Portion size was more than enough for lunch. It was a delicious meal! Most importantly the Blackened Chicken was nicely seasoned and still moist. The veges were perfectly fresh. The fries were drool worthy. A nice crunch on the outside, soft in the middle and not greasy. Someone in the kitchen knows how to run a fryer! Pro Tip- Although I did not sample it, folks are saying that if you chose beef as your protein, it was not what they expected. Maybe check out some pics before you order. Conclusion- I had a great experience even without Wi-Fi. I'm going 4.5 stars and rounding up to 5!

    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.

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.

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.
