    I forgot to take a photo my food. We had to wait to be seated and the kitchen was backed up. By the time we got our food we were hungry. Our server was on it! My food was delicious. They serve Pepsi products which my husband loves.

    Our waitress was Micki and she was very personable and attentive to our needs. We had a group of four and the food came out in a timely manner. We had to wait 15 minutes for a table because they were busy in the evening. I find that is a good sign when trying a new local restaurant. The decor was eclectic with Elvis, '59 Cadillac couch, Blues Brothers, and license plates hung up on the walls. The rolls and cinnamon butter were fresh and tasty. The salad was crisp and good. The coconut shrimp was nicely fried with a tangy sauce. My sweet potato was buttery and good. My husband thoroughly enjoyed his steak pieces and baked potato. Our friends also enjoyed their steak dinners. We were all too full for dessert. I would definitely come back if I am ever in this part of Florida again.

    The filets were really perfect. The service was good. The salad was okay. The fresh bread was super good. Next time I will ask for no cinnamon butter on the sweet potato or bread. It's a ton of sugar. Butter would be much better.

    Not Manny's!!!

    Also, pay attention to how clean this place feels. It starts at the front door Hard to believe they're still in business

    Chicken fajitas with all the condiments on the side
    Roger K.

    we saw an ad for this place has fajitas on Wednesday night buy one get one free. We checked in around 6 PM they said it would be a 15 minute wait it actually was only 10 until we were seated and the waitress was standing waiting to take our drink order as soon as we were seated. They were absolutely packed with people but our drinks were served very promptly and at that time a basket of fresh to die for rolls with regular whipped butter and cinnamon butter were put on the table and then we were ready to order. We ordered fajitas which took about 10 minutes to arrive at the table smelling very much part of fajitas. Grilled chicken,onions and all the normal sides of cheese,pico, sour cream and 8 warm tortillas were all looking amazing. we were very pleased with the experience and the food was great the manager stopped by the table to ask how everything was going you don't find everywhere but it is a very nice touch we will definitely be back again for their steaks that are in the steak cooler when you walk in they look very tempting!!!!!!

    French onion

    Not bad...not great. Service was great. Our waitress was Jeanie...very nice & capable of our large group. good pina colada...we had an array of appetizers...best one out of the onion rings,loaded fries,mozzarella sticks,nuclear shrimp, the best was the shrimp though it coukd have been hotter. The French onion soup was good...would have preferred bread into of hard not soft soaked croutons...but the flavor was there. I ordered a ribeye & garlic mashed potato & it was perfectly cooked medium rare but flavor was lacking in the sautéed mushrooms and on.Overall decent food but I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here again.

    First visit here today after finding it on YELP. As we were walking in, a customer exiting asked if…read morewe had been here before and told us that the onion rings are out of this world. So as we ordered our food, we ordered onion rings also. We ordered a Garlic Burger with Waffle Fries and a drink ($13.99), a Brake Burger with Waffle fries and a drink ($13.99) and a Smash Burger adding bacon with waffle fries and a drink ($15.20) an order of onion rings ($5.99). The onion rings have the potential to be amazing as they appear to be thin cut and battered in house. The only draw back with the onion rings, fries and burger is that they seem to be a bit heavy on the salt. I could not finish my fries and only ate a few onion rings. The restaurant is in a former "Filling Station," or gas station if you prefer. You are sitting in the garage as you eat your food, although the garage doors are closed and the restaurant is air conditioned. There are art prints of vehicles on the walls along with car manufacturer signs and hubcaps. I like this place and will love it with less salt. The staff is nice and helpful in answering questions about the menu. I can recommend this restaurant if you are in the area.

We arrived a bit after 5 pm, too late to take advantage of early bird food specials but in time for happy hour (which ends at 6). This gave us 2-for-1 pricing on draft beer and house wine. We were seated immediately. By the time we left (around 6:30) there was a wait. We ordered drinks, and these and rolls were delivered with cinnamon butter and pats of plain butter. I ordered the Tuesday special, grouper "fingers," salad (soup is also a choice), and a sweet potato. My husband had linguine with chicken. Our server, Carmen, offered cinnamon butter for my sweet potato. Salad is tossed and plated at the table. It arrived well ahead of the entrées. We had the house-made ranch dressing. Overall, it was a pretty bland salad, mostly iceberg lettuce. The grouper was wonderful, lightly breaded and the perfect crispness. The portion of 3 filets was more than adequate. A small tub of Ken's tartar sauce was included. The cinnamon butter and sweet potato made an excellent combination and a great foil for the grouper. Everything was piping hot when it arrived. I wouldn't hesitate to order this combination again. My husband enjoyed his linguine. Given it was about an hour between when we were seated and when the entrées arrived, we thought the pace was rather slow. But the quality and quantity of food made up for it in my opinion.

Although it's spacious and holds a lot of…read morepeople, it still feels welcoming with attentive staff, art, decor and something to look at in every wall/table. The food was fresh and delicious, from the soft-warm-fluffy rolls to the creamy mouth watering cheesecake. The crab cake in the broiled platter was my favorite. My only complain will be that the cocktail and tartar sauce was not freshly made as it was from a packet and that the salad was previously frozen as some of the lettuce didn't thaw all the way. Nonetheless I will definitely return to enjoy another dish.

Great service for being so busy. First off, my all time favorite beer on draft! Michelob Amberbock!! Of course chilled mug! Ordered raw oysters, delicious. Then shared the fisherman's platter. Everything was yummy except the Fried oysters were not as good as everything else. Fresh made onion rings, scallops delicious. Very large seating area with Tiki bar next door.

    Awful! We live in the area and come often.. we sat at 7.. took 20 minutes for server to even get to…read morethe table.. we received our food at 9! That's right 9! We ordered 3 burgers (2 med, 1 well done, the well done being for a child) and 2 tunas.. all 3 burgers came out wrong (wrong temp and wrong toppings, one burger had wire brushing in it, which owner argued, saying there's no way) tuna was ice cold, and not seared cold, like fridge cold (which again owner argued saying there's is no way) . Server was great and apologized over and over ( which she should not be apologizing she's not the one in the kitchen) owner (female) finally came to the table, asked us how our dinner was. When we expressed how it was, she began to argue with us, saying there is no way that things were wrong. At one point addressing the server as if she was the one who made our food. At this point, we had enough and knew it was not going anywhere! The owner did take off 1 burger and 1 tuna.. which was appreciated. After being talked down too, we all expressed at the table, that we would rather just pay our bill and leave! Not one time were we rude, disrespectful or mean in any way to be spoken to the way she spoke to us. Absolutely wild experience! We truly love this place.. but this has definitely set a tone. Edit... Her response says it all! Facial expressions were because we were absolutely appalled at the fact that she was arguing about our experience! While ahi tuna is supposed to have a cool center the fish was ICE COLD.. FRIDGE TEMP FROM TOP TO CENTER! When asked to take it back to heat it.. it was microwaved.. which then turned it gray.. but once returned that pink center was cool, not FRIDGE COLD! The wire brush was in the burger.. she argued with us stating it was a hair from the onion(which burger was supposed to have no onion) .. even though you could perfectly see it was a copper wire of some sort! Mind you it was found at the end of the burger. The reason we didn't take the offer of new food, is because we were done.. 2 hours to get our food, and they waited till the absolute end, to approach our table! By that point we had eaten what we could and she was speaking to us by this point like we were awful people.. WHY WOULD WE STAY ANOTHER HOUR! Especially after being talked to like she was! We couldn't get a word in! So as you can tell about her response from here, you can only imagine her response in real time!!! Horrible display of an owner!

The second we walked in, the smell hit me like, "Cancel your goals. You live here now." Smoky, delicious, slightly illegal levels of good. We were greeted and seated by a super nice guy who said, "Patrick will be right with you." Two minutes later... Patrick shows up. Five minutes later... Patrick brings drinks. Ten minutes later... Patrick brings food. At some point I leaned over to Ross and whispered, "Where is the original guy?? Did Patrick eat him??" Nope. SAME MAN. Sir is host, server, possibly chef, and I'm 90% sure he rotated the earth slightly to speed up our service. Patrick sold me on the Prime Rib sandwich like a seasoned car salesman and I folded immediately. Ross got the loaded smokehouse sandwich because he likes to pretend he makes responsible decisions. The food came out fast and looking disrespectfully good. I blacked out somewhere between bite one and "I should stop." I did not stop. I have no regrets. My diet has filed a missing persons report. And let's circle back to Patrick--this man has the energy of three employees, a double espresso, and unresolved childhood dreams. I want whatever he's having. I would follow him into battle... or at least back for dessert. As The Terminator once said, "I'll be back." Mostly because I found out Patrick works Wednesday-Saturday... and apparently those are now my "nutritional delusion" days. Would 100% trust my GPS to ruin my plans again.
