What is the service is like? Why is this tip on here ? I was perusing around the menu looking to move the transaction forward with the clerk staring down at the screen and people waiting behind me. I picked 15%. later when I thought about this, it made me angry - dirty tricks. they don't pay the self service clerk enough. likely she's making $10.98 per hour the minimum that can be paid to a tipped worker in Florida. The minimum wage in Florida is $14.00 currently. Tipping in US restaurants originated from a post Civil War employer strategy to avoid paying freed enslaved people.... so I guess nothing has changed.

Review for Smoothie King - Venice, FL…read more I just moved to Florida from Texas and was excited to try the Smoothie King here in Venice, since I used to go all the time back home. Unfortunately, my experience was really disappointing. I ordered 2 smoothie bowls, which cost me $20.89 even after using $6 in Smoothie Bucks, and the containers weren't even half full. The pictures I've posted show exactly what I mean. In Texas, every bowl I ordered was filled to the top of the container, so this was a real letdown. For the price, I expected the same level of quality and consistency I'm used to from Smoothie King. Instead, it felt like I paid full price for a half-serving. Not a great first impression of this location. I really hope management takes this feedback seriously because Smoothie King is usually one of my favorites--but I'll be thinking twice before coming back here again.

The menu was on a chalk board outside and pretty worn out and tough to read. The girl working was very friendly and our bowls were ready rather quickly. The pricing is pretty comparable to other Açaí Bowl locations but I did feel like the bowl was a tad smaller. By the time we got to the airport (20min), our bowls were frozen, which was confusing. These types of places are usually known for the presentation of the bowl but ours just seemed to be all the ingredients smashed into a bowl. Everything seemed fresh and healthy, which is the goal when picking a place like this. My colleague liked her elderberry shot, which I've never even heard of. We will be back!

September 27, 2025 - 2 for lunch takeout…read more Never been here and somebody volunteered to pick up and PAY!!!! Doing 10 hours of guard duty so was looking forward to the lunch. When I ordered seemed a "little" expensive ($9.75 to start and then $2.45 for Tofu +++ for quinoa and other healthy topping?) , but I must say as a unethical selfish vegan (not about the animal and its all about MY health) or more aptly a Nutritarian eater, there were plenty of components and ingredients for a healthy meal. I would have gone for black, or garbanzo beans or even peas??? for sure but no vegetable proteins on the chart?? Ordering is a bit of a pain. My co-worker who is a regular there says most folks order a signature wrap and he said some comments about my a la carte order? So for that I might suggest a Signature Whole Food Plant Based (WFPB) Wrap or Salad and the 5% of us who are vegan, vegetarian, WFPB, Nutritarian etc could just click a button? The sandwich was very good the way I ordered it, and it was prepared exactly and perfectly. Fresh ingredients and the wrap was nice. I will have to check this out in person at some point!!!

GiGi's Ice Cream of Punta Gorda…read more Atmosphere & Service I stopped by to check out GiGi Ice Cream to try the lobster roll. An ice cream shop that serves lobster rolls sounded too interesting to pass up. Inside, the shop was clean, neat, and pleasantly cool. I ordered at the front counter and had my food in hand within just a few minutes. Menu Highlights * Hot dogs * Lobster Rolls * Ice cream options ranging from sorbet to gluten-free varieties * Specialty drinks, including milkshakes, smoothies, and ice cream floats What I Ordered I ordered the lobster roll, which came with my choice of chips, melted butter, lemon, and a pickle. Final Impression & Rating The meal arrived on a plastic plate with a fitted cover--a clever and convenient touch. The lobster roll was simply amazing, with so much lobster packed inside that pieces fell out with every bite. The toasted roll was excellent, and the melted butter and lemon made the lobster even better. Even the pickle was good. Finding a lobster roll this impressive at an ice cream shop still blows my mind. It is the best lobster roll I have had in the area. I'm already looking forward to returning.
