    4.5 food but service makes this rounded up to 5 stars. I've never heard of this place but I was in the area and hungry and decided to check it out. I'm glad it had good reviews because it drew me in and I'm glad I visited. When we visited it was pretty quiet but seemed like it was ready to handle a lot more people. I got a wedge salad and a half club and I'm glad I did. As a fatty who loves food, I considered getting the wedge salad and a full club and getting some to go, but I'm glad I didnt. Both were filling and both were great. The wedge was almost like a desert version of a salad. The dressing was awesome, and smothered in blue cheese and bacon. Salads sound healthy, but me and my cholesterol both knew this wasn't. But I ordered it and loved it, I'm not mad at the nutrition. The Club was great! It was lunchmeat but sliced thicker than you'd get from most delis or anywhere else actually. It wasn't reinventing the wheel but it was nothing short of a great experience either. Their menu is HUGE, I bounced around from a turkey dinner, to meatloaf, to soups but honestly I loved the club and wedge salad and likely would order it again. Cured my hunger and more, and when I'm back in the area I'll definitely stop in again.

    The food and drinks were amazing the service and staff and so clean. The outside area is beautiful. Kids menus and lots of running space. Cooked to perfection. Highly recommend

    UPDATE: In the mood for the legendary Lucille Sandwich - oven roast sliced turkey with coleslaw, swiss cheese, and russian dressing on grilled rye bread - $13.99...This sandwich with a side of fries made me very happy especially right before a movie. The waitress, Alejandra, was super nice and the food came out hot in about eight minutes. The owner, Beth, checked up on us. The Bathroom was supplied and pleasantly clean too. Updated to a five star review.

    They are closing tomorrow. The rent is too high.  We loved eating here

    Since I started coming to Lucille's I have been pleased with the meals I ordered. It's been 10-15 years since I discovered this gem. They will be missed. Today they are closing their doors do to greedy landlord.

    Phenomenal comfort food. Great service. Super ambiance. We can for an early dinner on Saturday at 4:30. We will definitely be back. We had the tomato blue cheese soup & a cup of chili. Then we had the 3 cheese Mac n cheese & the meatloaf dinner with mashed & green beans. American comfort food at its finest. Sooooo darn good!!!

    Got a double whammy for this review! Went back Sunday and had another great meal. This time was the steak salad and it was great. Also, at their Winter Haven location we had a great lunch and breakfast back in August. We actually booked a reservation for a farewell breakfast the morning after our daughter's wedding. A GREAT TIME all the way around! Keep it up!

    The food was well prepared, the service from our server was terrific and the relaxed ambiance was perfect for a nice evening out with mom before she returned to Ohio.

    Food was good the atmosphere was very nice- we sat outside and the kids fed the turtles and catfish. The birds were chirping and it was a beautiful day. The Wedge salad was delicious, the breakfast tacos were delicious- the breakfast burger was delicious too-the kids had cheeseburgers and chicken tenders- good servings. Everything reasonably priced. A bit of a wait- to be expected on Sunday after church crowd.

    Buffalo Chicken Sandwich
    Tania D.

    Wow!! First time here and will definitely be back. Simple diner food with delicious flavors. We started with the Beer Cheese Soup which was divine. We had the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich and the Cici Melt which were both delicious. I upgraded to onion rings and they were possibly the best onion rings that I've ever had. The batter didn't break apart and they were perfectly cooked. I ordered their homemade Honey BBQ sauce which was good. My grandson had the chicken tenders with homemade applesauce which was out of this world. To end the meal we shared the carrot cake which was also delicious. It's served warm and drizzled with caramel sauce. Our server was friendly and I can't wait to come back to try some of the other items on the menu.

    Arnold Palmer's made really well.

    I originally gave Spartan Gyros 5 stars. The vibe was great & the food was outstanding…read more Unfortunately, my recent visit was a completely different experience. It started with not even being able to open the front door. There was a sign that said "pull really hard," & we watched another family walk by thinking the place was closed. Inside, it was empty except for 2 employees standing there. We ordered 2 bowls, which came to over $30. One had rice, falafel, & tomato. The other had rice, tomato, tzatziki, & chicken. The falafels were wet inside & something clearly seemed off. Within an hour of eating, my stomach felt unsettled & I just did not feel well. I was tired & very hungry at the time, so I did not send anything back, but I definitely regretted not speaking up!! The rice was dry and bland. Honestly, Trader Joe's microwave rice would have been the better choice. The tomatoes were cut so large that I ended up pulling them out and giving them to my daughter because I prefer smaller pieces. We also ordered the potatoes, which I had really been looking forward to. The last time I was here they were charred on the edges, tender, lemony, and full of flavor. This time they tasted parboiled, still firm in the center, and sadly flavorless. I poured vinaigrette on top just to give them some taste. Even the small details felt neglected. The artificial plants on the tables were covered in dust. I would have preferred no décor at all instead of dusty décor. Overpriced and under flavored. I cannot say that I would go back. I am now on the hunt for a Greek restaurant that truly delivers on flavor.

I usually opt for the falafel gyro, the Greek salad is also yummy as well at the fries. I love that they also carry sweet potato fries. The concept is that you order at the register, you take a seat and they deliver your meal. There's no fluff or extravaganza but there is great food. There's place is nicely decorated and is always clean. One thing to note is that if you are a die hard fan of the classic coke or sprite beverages, they don't have any. During my last meal here, I noticed that they replaced the classics with their own homemade or in-house versions. This didn't bother me, but my partner wasn't too pleased about it. But we made do. This will still be a go to in our books.

The restaurant was similar to a place I was at in Bristol Virginia and I understood the concepts. I ordered a particular wrap and after waiting 15 minutes for my food I received it. I know I had the vegan option though I am not vegan thankfully i just wanted a healthy meal. After nearly completing eating my food, i learned that they gave me the wrong food and I ate a completely different item. They presented me my right wrap that I ordered on top of a $5 off coupon to come back next time as an apology. that I can't use since this location doesn't exist back home in the Chicago area. I'm not overly upset about it just because I have no dietary restrictions but if this was someone who actually is a vegetarian or a vegan ( and I wasn't told about what wrap I actually got) they probably would have freaked out. I do love the kind gestures so the company was good on their part if this was anyone else it might have been a different story. They were really busy but they did happen to screw up a few other people's orders besides mine. Price point was a little expensive as well but again the company made it up to me.

We came after a busy morning at the beach and I was craving something fresh. After a quick search on Yelp, I found Naked Farmer and was reminded that we were super close to it. It's fairly close to Sawgrass Mills mall and is in a plaza with a good amount of parking. Although the outside seems small, the space inside is pretty long and has a good amount of seating. The servining is "chipotle-style" where you order your food and customize it how you want it and pay at the register at the end. I shared a bowl with my partner and we got half rice and half greens, some toppings, and the chicken thigh. This was a good amount for us to share and it was delicious!
