The best steakhouse in Florida. This is hands down my favorite restaurant no contest. It has a great mix of different foods. It is tough to beat there prime rib or steak but the ribs and fajitas are awesome as well. The rolls and cinnamon butter are out od this world. They helped us with our special request for us no problem. Absolutely love this place. read more

5 STARS ONLY for our server Bridgette!! She was amazing when a group of 9 of us came in for my Father's birthday!!! She attended us promptly, carefully took our order with the upmost expertise, and made sure to check up on us several times throughout dinner even though she was running multiple tables. Manny's Chophouse is EXTREMELY lucky to have a server like her, with such a kind personality and cheerful attitude!!! She went above and beyond to make my Father's 61st birthday amazing. I definitely plan to come back to Manny's Chophouse in the near future and hope to see her here again!!! read more

Delicious food! Awesome salads!! The decor alone is enough reason to stop by! Great place to hang out with family! Service is always friendly! read more

Been here twice now and although it's not the cleanest of places, looks dirty and has a slight odor, the food was delicious and the staff was friendly and attentive. If I could make one suggestion it'd be to thoroughly clean the place from top to bottom and maintain it. read more

If you want a pleasant dining experience with friendly staff that serves food quickly...go elsewhere. My family and I dined at Manny's today and were shocked at the customer service and professionalism (or lack thereof) by nearly everyone we encountered at this establishment. To start, the kitchen lost our ticket, so our food took well over an hour to be brought out. Once it was finally brought out you could tell it had been sitting under plate warmers for some time (the waiters made sure to let everyone know the plates were scorching hot, which they were). The "manager" Bridgette came over after we finished and we addressed our concerns with her. However, her response was essentially "oh well, it's Mother's Day we're busy...so are you ready to pay?" Yes... it was busy, but we watched as other larger parties were seated, brought their food, and leaving by the time our cold food was brought out. When we asked Bridgette why the waiter told us the kitchen lost the ticket, but now she's telling us the reason our food took almost 90 minutes was because it's busy, she just gave us a puzzled look and walked away. Bridgette then brought out Andrea, another so-called manager, who said "yes, the kitchen lost your ticket but only for 5 minutes, and I know because I helped plate it...so are y'all ready to pay?" At this point my father and I are absolutely dumbfounded by the level of incompetence and unprofessionalism displayed by the two supposed managers Bridgette and Andrea; and just decided to pay and leave. I've eaten at Manny's several times just in the few short weeks I've lived here and wouldn't go back if you paid me. read more

During the last few months, we've been trying to prioritize ordering delivery and/or curbside pickup from local restaurants to try to help our local economy while minimizing our possible exposure to unsafe conditions as we live in an area where people are (for the most part) not social distancing or wearing masks. Overall, we've had good experiences. When my fiance wanted a steak for dinner, we were excited to see on their website that Manny's was offering curbside pickup at two of their locations, including the one near us as they don't normally even offer takeout, but we'd much rather support them than a large chain, which there are many of in town. Unfortunately, we had a very negative experience this evening, and I wanted to make sure that people were aware of a restaurant to avoid if you are trying to make smart decisions right now. When we called to place our order, my fiance specifically stated that we wanted to do curbside pickup; no mention was made of this not being an option. We were given a time to arrive and our total. Once we arrived at the restaurant, there was no signage indicating curbside pickup, so we parked near the doors and called the restaurant. When he asked where we should park for our curbside pickup order, he was told that we could park anywhere because we had to come inside and pick up the food ourselves. My fiance mentioned that the website states 'curbside pickup' specifically, but was just told to come inside. Luckily we had a mask in the car for him to wear, so he went inside to get the food. Inside of the restaurant, no on was observing any social distancing - he said the bar was packed, and no diners waiting for tables we wearing masks. The staff was wearing masks, but for the most part they were wearing them incorrectly, with their noses exposed. After asking for a manager, he was approached by someone without a nametag, who did not introduce herself or have any indication of actually being a supervisor; when he explained what the issue was, she just said "we don't offer curbside pickup." He asked why the website would show that the Winter Haven location is specifically listed as offering curbside pickup, and she again just said "we don't offer it; we don't even normally offer takeout." He asked why the person we spoke to on the phone when placing our order didn't explain this, he did not get a clear answer. The manager eventually said "well, if you let us know it was a problem we could have brought it out to you." When he explained that we did ask for it when we arrived and were told that we had to come inside, the manager's response was just "oh." As this manager was obviously not going to be of any help, he paid for the food and we left (no point in wasting our order when he was already inside of the building). We're not sure where the miscommunication here is, but somewhere on the chain of command, someone decided that even though they said that this location is specifically offering curbside pickup, they just don't want to do it - my guess is that a majority of their patrons don't care about it because we live somewhere where people want to go out and don't care about social distancing (as evidenced by house busy the bar & restaurant were on a Tuesday at 6pm despite a drastic spike in covid numbers). After we ate, my fiance reached out via facebook to the location, and someone did respond politely and quickly, but we are still waiting for the promised phone call to discuss our experience. Overall, the food is good quality but this experience was very frustrating. We both work in hospitality and understand how crazy it is out there for businesses right now, but don't state that you offer a service and then not offer it; if the person we first spoke to when ordering had simply said "sorry, the website is incorrect, but we are offering takeout," we could have saved ourselves time and frustration. The next time we want steak, we'll be choosing a chain restaurant in town that actually offers curbside pickup. read more

Great steaks, attentive staff and 2-4-1 happy hour? Delish meal , highly recommend, worth the wait for a table

We ate at Manny's Winter Haven last night. I gave them our club number to get our points, but never got a text to do a survey. I had a small complaint that I wanted to talk to the manager about. The bartender, Jennifer, said that the manager was too busy to bother with such an insignificant thing. I don't think that MY PROBLEM was insignificant. She hurt my feelings. I will not be back for a LONG time. Jennifer should get her head out of her sand box! If she treated all her customers the way she treats the regulars, you would have no business at all! I'm very upset. read more

This place was jumping on a Friday night in Winter Haven. This was only my second visit to this adorable town and this place was unexpected. Think Texas Roadhouse style (with the case of steaks to choose from) in a fun atmosphere where the servers call you hun and write all over the paper table covering. BIG FUN....HOLLA!!! I ordered the filet and shrimp. You get 2 sides with your meal too and I opted for a salad and loaded baked potato. Look...the salad alone was worth a mention. It was also endless...a chapter from Olive Garden but SO MUCH MORE FLAVORFUL!!! They have a garlic ranch dressing that is to die for and thet toss it up right in front of you. The salad had cheese eggs, cabbage, tomatoes, onions and, of course, lettuce. Pepperoncinis are added to those who like them. They leave the mixing bowl of salad on the table for you to grab seconds or thirds or.... The filet was seasoned and cooked to perfection. You can select how you want your shrimp so I opted for the crabmeat stuffing. It was all meat, no filler....delicious! The potato was large and the bacon was smokey including the fixins a loaded potato should. Yummy!!! The bread rolls were buttery, warm and included cinnamon butter. Gosh, can it get any better. You must try this place out. The parking lot is full for GOOD REASON! read more

Don't think about it... just come here if you're in the area! We were visiting from out of town and figured we would give it a try and we were not disappointed! Everything was delicious and our server Kimberly M. was the sweetest and exceptionally attentive and informative, she frequently checked on us and also made sure our children were content. The environment is very welcoming and warm with diner-type of feel. The price range is a little on the high but it's worth it for the quality. They give complimentary warm bread with cinnamon butter. The salad is brought out in a large bowl which is tossed and served to you. We ordered the boneless wings for appetizer which were so crispy and the sauces were so good. For our entrees we ordered the t-bone which was cooked to perfection and the coconut shrimp paired with a sweet sauce was great. The server also let us know that kids get free ice cream, which is always a plus. Overall we were extremely pleased with this place, it's very hard to find quality and service like this now-a-days, an easy 5 stars! read more

We came to Manny's for the bogo fajitas and the happy hour specials. We added the endless salad to our meal as well. Manny's has a great opportunity to be a fun tourist destination. I liked the decor and the menu is big. I agree with other reviews about so so food. The salad was pretty tasteless and the fajitas ok. The best part was it was like paying for 1 person to eat and have drinks, so can't be mad at that. I'd try them again but maybe for something other than fajitas. I'd keep going back for the happy hour drinks though, no food required. read more

This place is always a delight. Steaks are cooked perfectly, the wait staff is amazing. I prefer to visit locally owned businesses that are tied into their community. Food is wonderful, staff is awesome. Great place for kids and the whole family! We'll definitely be going back soon! read more

Manny's Original Chophouse - Porterhouse steak and loaded baked potato - Steakhouses Near Me - Winter Haven, Florida

Horrible! That would pretty much sum up the whole experience. Horrible wait time, horrible food quality, horrible service and they just raised their menu items pricing . Went here to celebrate our son's birthday, that quickly turned into a sad occasion. We have been to Manny's many times over the years and it just keeps getting worse each time! This will be our last! They got our order wrong after we finally waited almost an hour to get seated ( if your lucky enough to get a seat in the waiting area) and felt like we were inside a smoky casino outside. Why would you allow smoking anywhere on your property at a family restaurant? Once seated we waited 10 minutes for our waiter " Bubba" to finally take our drink order, then another 10 minutes to get our drinks. Then another 8-10 minutes for our rolls and then 10 minutes to come take our order. Once he had our order it took another 10 minutes to get our salad. Once our food came the fun really started! My wife ordered the stuffed shrimp dinner with mashed side. A girl came out and severed just the shrimp ( cold BTW). When my wife asked about the side, she was told it came separately with the mashed. You guessed it, 10 minutes later they brought out the side( with a free side of attitude). The fries that most of our other party ordered where practically raw along with the half cooked cold onion rings. Speaking of raw, my prime rib that I ordered medium rare may as well have had horns and could have been still mooing. I barley ate it because I had to bring it home to cook it myself. Not one time did any of the staff or servers say sorry! We could see that others in the area we're having the same horrible experience. Nice job Manny's you have lost our business forever and I will definitely tell everyone I know where not to go! #horrible read more

Came here to celebrate my grandpa's 80th and had a great time. The restaurant is decorated like any typical steakhouse is but what blew me away was the service. Our server was so sweet and attentive and really made the experience great. They start each meal with a delicious house made salad and warm bread with cinnamon butter that's out of the world. My steak was pretty dry and under seasoned but overall had a great meal read more

Manny's offers call ahead services, which is great as we had a party of 7 and were able to get in for dinner at a reasonable time. It was pretty busy and took quite some time to get our food. The food was average...nothing crazy, but it was good. Staff was pleasant, but they are understaffed, which is likely due to poor management as this place is always busy read more

Manny's Original Chophouse - New York strip steak - Steakhouses Near Me - Winter Haven, Florida

We tried to come in tonight with a table of 10, we tip well and were ready to have a great dinner on vacation, we now know never to go to this restaurant. We tried calling ahead, and got a lot of attitude with the hostesses. We came in and they couldn't guarantee we could sit together, we were not allowed to wait in the lobby, the hostess had a huge attitude, and it was VERY obvious they didn't want our business. So we will spend our money elsewhere. I am absolutely disgusted with how we were treated. Fix your customer service. read more

DO NOT come here if your party is bigger than 8. They will split your party up and the rude hostess will ask if your ok sitting on opposite sides of the restaurant. I'm sorry what?! And when I asked to speak to a specific manager the person standing at the front who I assume was also a manger REFUSED to let me speak to who I asked for. Will not eat here again. The food isn't worth the attitude you get from the front of house staff. read more

I wish I had gotten the opportunity to review the food here. The location on 192 used serve really good food. Arriving on a busy Friday night my husband and I knew we were in for a wait. We had stopped by the Haines City location and there was over an hour wait. We figured what was another 8 miles away to go get some good food. Well, I wouldn't know now. After being told the wait was 20 to 25 minutes, we sat right outside the door for out buzzer to go off. After the outside and inside groups got sat, I watched 3 other groups that came in after us get sat. I went to the host stand and inquired how much longer and why were there groups that came in after us got seated. I was told in a smug manner that our pager was buzzed and when no one came up, they moved to the next party. Well, that's about where I lost my cool. While we were waiting ... right outside the door ... one of the workers (of which there were about 6 just hanging around the host stand) came out calling for "Jessica" to be seated. Needless to say, we stormed out and went elsewhere to eat. If you look at my recent review of the location on 192, you'll see it must have taken a lot for me to want to try going to Manny's again. This chain had demonstrated a complete lack of knowledge of what good customer service is at more than one location on more than one occasion. Even after leaving multiple bad reviews, I have never been contacted for questions or attempts at reconciliation. It bewilders me as to how this place has such good ratings. I will NEVER attempt to dine at a Manny's Chop House again, and I will actively tell people to beware. read more

My wife and I have driven passed and on my suggestion we went in. We won't be making that mistake again. While we waited we got to smell burning popcorn. As we had not eaten we ordered the loaded fries and chicken fajitas (fries to share). Our server (Kayla) brought the fajita wraps out with the fries. My wife asked if the wraps could be brought out with the entree so they would arrive warm and our server said 'that's how they are supposed to do it". The server was very confrontational and made it clear she was not happy. The stater came out and appeared to have lots of cheese and bacon over (as you would expect and quite honestly no flavor at all. The fajitas came out and again no spice(at all), no flavor(at all), bland as hell, the tomato and lettuce had more flavor. My wife and I will not make the same mistake again. In future we will just drive by like we always did in the past. How do I give zero stars ? read more

Just moved to Winter Haven and discovered Manny's. Love the quality of the food and generous portions. Never had bad service from the Winter Haven and Haines City locations. This is a must try out place!!! FYI...2 for 1 drinks can be shared and different ones:))) read more

Very disappointed! The meal was less than mediocre. Salad way overdressed, almost dripping dressing. Ordered the chopped steak medium rare, it arrived with the correct label but was over cooked and dry. The French fries were cold. The only positive I have was the wait staff, attentive yet super busy. Kicking myself for not returning the lousy meal but did not want to spoil moment for our friends with us. Will not go again, to many other restaurant choices in the area. read more

Why 5 stars? Because there were no flaws. --- --- --- After a long day out on the softball fields, a few of us from the team decided to make up for a day of losing with a good steak. What we found, was an epic dining experience. It wasn't long before we realized that we no longer cared about our 1-4 record in the tournament. We pulled into the parking lot around 4:40 and noticed that the restaurant did not open until 5:00. As we hung out for 20 minutes, we noticed quite the crowd building up behind us. It seemed that we had obviously found a pretty popular place in Polk County. The following things were fantastic: Our server The sweet bread The steaks The loaded mashed potatoes!! All of the above receive 5 stars. I'm still a little peeved that Winter Haven allowed my Indians to leave for Arizona, but next time I am in the neighborhood, Manny's will be a requirement. read more

Manny's is the pride of Polk County. Manny's is so good that people are willing to venture into the depths of Polk County to eat here. Haines City is the original Manny's and it grew so popular there are now locations in Winter Haven, Lake Wales, Lakeland, and most recently 192. This week I ate at the Winter Haven location and I am here to tell you that the quality is just as spectacular as it is at the original location in Haines City. 99% of the time I order a Manny's sirloin, which is to this day the best sirloin I've ever eaten. I'm usually a New York Strip or Filet Mignon kind of girl, but the quality of Manny's Sirloin is so good I don't feel the need to order anything else. All of Manny's steaks are served with your choice of potato. The fries are great, but I rarely get them because I ALWAYS have leftovers and fries are bad leftovers. My potato of choice is garlic smashed potatoes with white gravy. Yum! All of Manny's steaks are also served with a salad that is served family style and served to the whole table. Now, when Manny's first opened I was forced to bring my own dressing and order an individual salad because Manny's salad comes with ranch and I loathe, detest, and abhor ranch! However, they now will substitute a Caesar salad instead. Yay! They also have the most amazing yeast rolls with cinnamon butter. I am drooling just typing about them. They also have appetizers and desserts, but it is so much food I've never gotten them. If you don't like steak (what?!) they do have chicken, shrimp, etc. From 4pm-6pm they have Early Bird dining and Manny's Sirloin with all the above accompaniments is under $10! After 6 I think it is about $12. They don't do early bird on weekends, or holidays. We ate here on NYE and it was considered a holiday so no early bird. This place is packed so call ahead and put your name on the list 45 to 90 min before you go. We got here at 4pm on NYE when they opened and were seated right away. When we left about 5:20 the place was packed and lined out the door. They do not take reservations. Also, be prepared for extra crowds during snow bird season (Oct-Apr). I think Wed is buy one get one fajita night. read more

First visit here 4/23/21 stopped in for supper, waited 45 minutes to be seated but it was about 5:45 pm when it arrived. Once we were seated our server took our drink orders immediately, a rum runner and two waters. When she returned with our drinks, which was rather quickly she took our food orders. We chose the chips and salsa for an appetizer, a porterhouse (medium rare) with steamed vegetables and a garden, southwest grilled chicken with fries and Caesar salad. The porterhouse was cooked almost well done one was side and nearly raw on the other, steamed vegetables were very good, the rum runner tasted good but was obviously "watered down". The southwest chicken fries was perfect. We like the look of the restaurant and the decor is interesting to look at. It is noisy when it's busy but not unpleasant. The wait staff are friendly, quick and courteous. Overall it's a nice place but the food was all that impressive, especially considering how expensive it is to dine here. read more

Great food and superb service by George our server. First time there and we loved the attention by the staff, and by Manny who stopped by as well. The decor is very American with a life size John Wayne on a horse, they hit it spot on! This is our new favorite restaurant and we cannot wait to bring our visitors here to enjoy! Great work Manny! read more

Food and service was excellent. We had two steaks & a hamburger, everybody enjoyed their meal would recommend.

Went on Friday evening. About a 15min wait because we called ahead to be added on the list. They have fresh popcorn for you and the kiddos to enjoy while you wait. My wife and I ordered the 2 for 1 Margaritas & Sangria. Both were made well. My kids ordered the steak on a stick and they enjoyed it. My wife and I ordered The Manny's Steaks, With endless salad and loaded baked potatoes. The steaks were medium, tender, and juicy as we ordered. The salad was very good and came with chilled bowls which does make a difference. The loaded baked potato's were excellent and truly loaded. The dinner rolls and cinnamon butter was great as well. We had the brownie & ice cream for dessert and it will easily settle a family's sweet tooth because it's huge. Overall a very well experience and we will be back! read more

Kitschy, local, quality food... definitely worth the wait! There was a pretty decent wait even for a Wednesday night, but that's usually a good sign I've found. I wasn't disappointed here, either. While waiting, you're treated to a pantheon of Blues Brothers' themed decor, everything from life-sized statues to road signs to half of a police cruiser in the dining area... The food was very good. The steak was lean and fresh (got the super-cut sirloin), cooked perfectly to order, and came out in a relatively short amount of time. No complaints at all. I could have used the salad dressing-free, but I'm hardly going to complain about that, since it was pretty decent dressing. The service was good, though the waitress had a habit of checking up on me when my mouth was full. Maybe that's more a testament to the food then to her timing. Wasn't her fault anyway. She came by frequently, but not too much, and she wasn't too bubbly or annoying about her visits, either. Didn't feel the strongest of interest in my experience, but she wasn't overly distant, either. Hostess could have been more alert and attentive, but it had likely already been a long night. No complaints overall, really. Good food, maybe not the best you've ever had in your life, but really solid for a chophouse. Yeah, it's not Ruth's Chris, but it's far less than those prices, too. I'd definitely come back here. read more
