The menu offers a good range of choices, making it easy to find something that fits different preferences. The food was satisfying and presented nicely, while the service was polite and pleasant.

It's a pleasant place to enjoy a meal in a comfortable setting.

This place was fine dining without the price tag! Small and quaint. Unique selections and variety…read more They have specials as well, so every experience can be different! I wanted everything on the menu. This was more than southern comfort. I was very impressed and each dish had the perfect balance of flavor. Portions were perfect and it's always nice to be satisfied without feeling sick after like so many "comfort" foods can. I got the Korean seabass special and it was slightly pan fried with a crisp I the edges and meaty center. The pickled peaches were excellent! The ice cream is house made and very unique. We had the popcorn, buttermilk and brown sugar. I liked the brown sugar the best. :) The drink selections were great. I really enjoyed this orange beer that had over 5 % abv and is a good contender to OBP! We will be back next month because I've got to try the ragu and gnocchi!

The ambiance, service, and food were outstanding!…read more Kyle was our server, and couldn't have been more attentive, and pleasant. It was the beginning of dinner time, and a little slow, but the wait staff was very responsive to all the diners in the restaurant. We started with the focaccia w/ leftover oil, and it was quite good. For dinner, my wife had the chicken pot pie w/ grilled chicken, and I had the shrimp and grits... delicious. I highly recommend The Old Jailhouse!

As someone who is big into breweries, I was happy to see they had a solid selection of craft beer on draft. For dinner, I got the salmon and rice, and it was really good. My wife had the shrimp and grits, and those were on point too. Overall, a solid experience. Definitely a place I would visit again one day.

Such an amazing representation of how a local community can thrive alongside a successful business…read more It starts with an amazing selection of delicious options on the menu, served by the greatest possible level of friendly service team that are being backed up by a wonderful kitchen staff... The Combination of this level of excellence within the establishment, along the creatively effective leadership from the owners, has blessed the community with a powerhouse in the dining industry. Additionally, the availability for on-site private functions and their catering capabilities has led to their exponential growth and now the move to their new larger location. If you are ready to step up your dining experience with a true local hot spot for hospitality and hearty meals, Angels is your place! I personally know customers that order through Door-Dash and Uber Eats to have their food delivered as far away as Geneva, Oviedo, Chuluota and East Orlando. That alone speaks volumes when you consider the increased wait time and expense of such a great delivery distance. Pure Proof of Product Perfection! *10 Out Of 10* Highly Recommended

You order a surprise meal through the app. It was Sunday and they offer a Sunday dinner so I had high hopes for my order of two dinners. One meal was three pieces of jerk chicken along with sides of rice and black eyed peas. The second meal was baked chicken with mashed potatoes and white beans that seemed to be northern. The chicken was freshly prepared and hot and the meals stayed that way until I got home. I liked that the jerk chicken was not too spicy. Definitely full of flavor and the peas and rice was a nice combination. The second meal was a comforting meal. Two dark pieces of chicken and a scoop of mashed with the simmered northern beans. Each meal came with cornbread which probably was my favorite part. I was happy with my meals and definitely would eat here again. I want extra cornbread and to choose another dish from the menu.

Hubby ate the jerk shrimp and rice w/greens and corn bread. The music playing was just the perfect vibe. (Neosoul and some jazz) Each night is a different theme (reggae karaoke, TED talks, etc...) Ms Shantell wears many hats at her place (chef. Server, cashier, hostess) and wears each hat with sass.. Can't wait to come back and have some oxtails

I have been here twice,first time it was good the second time it wasn't as good as the first time…read moreand I felt like I got sick from the food after our second visit. On our last visit the restaurant was pretty empty with probably only one more couple eating there. The service is ok ,the food didn't taste as good as our previous visit but they do have a nice ambiance and some days they have a live band. As of May 2026,this business is closing. Also this business has been on the news many times claiming it was closing or struggling to stay open. I have read that this business had many violations in their restaurant,for that and other reasons such as lack of taste in their food I choose to give them *** three stars.***

I love supporting local small businesses. Bbee's had been a bookmark of mine for quite sometime…read more This past weekend my husband and I stopped in for breakfast. We were immediately greeted by an older gentleman who I assume is the owner. He was friendly and chatted with us a few times during while we dined it. Customer service - B. My husband had to wait a good 15 mins for a refill on a cup of coffee while the gentleman was in the back. Food - Ugh. I ordered the Jack - double home fries, onions, scrambled eggs, sausage gravy and cheese. My husband ordered the frick frack - large portion of home fries topped with onions, sausage links, bacon, scrambled eggs, sausage gravy with cheese. Unfortunately, both are meals were disappointing. Neither dish had onions. I did hear a blender at one point so perhaps they were blended and were not visible. Also, "sausage gravy." I didn't see any meat in my meal. Again, maybe it was blended? The frick frack didn't come with any sausage links as the description on the menu stated. Overall, our experience was very disappointing. We ordered our meals based on their descriptions and unfortunately, we did not get what we ordered.

It was great value for 2 people. You could not get all this in NYC. I liked that you can jazz up the grits. The catfish was fresh. The French toast was not the fluffy kind but it was still great. They provided us a mini glass bottle of syrup (super cute!) For the French toast. The country store before the restuarant is FILLED to the brim. It's mostly candy, novelty themed holiday things and souvenir esque things. CB has a royalty program and gives a free shareable (app) upon joining! Throughly enjoyed! Would come back again and try out daily specials and their $6 take home specials

A very enjoyable dinner…read more Restaurant was neat and clean. The dining room and tables were all tidy. Service once we were seated was prompt and efficient. Our chicken fried steak was tasty. The smothered pork chops were also very good. Both portions were generous. Our meals were very well done. We enjoyed splitting a Coca Cola cake with vanilla ice cream for dessert. A sit-down dinner for 2 under $50 including a tip for our server is PDG these days. Especially when compared to a cold flavorless burger and limp fries in a paper bag tossed on a dirty counter by a surly teenager along with a flat soft drink that cost $15 at the popular fast food place right next door. This Sanford Cracker Barrel is well-run with good food at a reasonable price. We'll be back.

One of my favorite things about St. Johns River Steak & Seafood is that you're not just going there…read morefor dinner -- the location makes the whole experience. Sitting right on Lake Monroe with that view of the water, especially around sunset, is hard to beat in Sanford. The food is excellent too. They have a huge selection, so whether you're in the mood for seafood or a steak, there's something for everybody. The seafood always seems fresh, the portions are generous, and they don't skimp on the good stuff. The blackened fish with shrimp and crab risotto is a standout, and you hear people constantly talking about the grouper, shrimp and grits, conch fritters, gator bites and seafood combinations. Their steaks are also legitimately good, so you don't feel like you have to order seafood just because it's on the water. The atmosphere is probably what keeps me coming back. It's casual enough that you can bring the family, but the view makes it nice enough for a date night or special occasion. There's just something relaxing about eating dinner and looking out over the lake. Service has always been another big positive. The staff is friendly and attentive without hovering over you, and even when the restaurant is busy, they do a good job taking care of everyone. That seems to be something a lot of other people mention in their reviews as well. Good food, cold drinks, great service and one of the best restaurant views in Sanford. If somebody was visiting town and asked me where they could get some seafood and actually feel like they were in Florida, this would definitely be on my list.

Can't believe we haven't found this quaint 'lil restaurant before now. This is definitely going to…read morebe a regular spot for us. Had to get bloodwork done at 6:30am, so afterwards we were close to here and craving breakfast, so it was a no-brainer to stop in here. Having been born and raised in Mississippi, I am always on the hunt for some good southern homestyle cooking and I for sure found it here. First, everything about the outside and inside of the restaurant reminded me of all the lil mom and pop restaurants I was raised going to. Great nostalgia for me. Now was the food going to live up to what the place looked like?? YES! So I went in craving breakfast and then what did my little eye spy on the menu? An open-faced roast beef sandwich and they service breakfast and lunch all day? Well, yes, please and thank you! Forget brekkie, I went straight for that open-faced roast beef with fried and all of it covered in gravy. OH MY! I'm talking this is the kinda food that (as we say in the Deep South) makes you wanna slap your momma! The bread was piled high with fresh roast beef. The fries were steak fries which are my favorite. The gravy topping everything was just the chef's kiss to set everything off! So many things I want to try on the menu, but I think it's going to be a while before I order anything other than that open-faced roast beef! Hubby had scrambled eggs, toast, hash (his fav brekkie food and he asked for it crispy - they delivered), and breakfast potatoes. He said everything was great and that it's the best hash he's had. I have never been a fan of hash, but I always try it. This has I would definitely eat. It was good. Can't say I'd order it myself because I'm just not a fan, but if this is the breakfast that was served to me, I definitely wouldn't turn my nose up at it. Anyway, two big thumbs up from hubby. Wheelchair friendly. Clean restrooms. Great service from our attentive and sweet server. Food came out very fast. I also much mention the Diet Coke. You know how some are just better from certain fountains? Yes, this was one of those cold fountain Coke's that was just so good. It really hit different. I ordered water as per usual because I try to not drink soda too much, especially while I eat, but hubby mentioned how good it was so, of course I had to try it. He was right. Very good indeed. If you are in the area, don't miss out on this lil restaurant. You will not be disappointed! The only negative thing I can say is they are only open until 3pm on weekdays and only until 2pm on the weekends. Guess that's a good complaint though. LOL Sure wish they were open for dinner too b/c we'd really be eating here a lot!!

From the moment you walked in the eclectic, industrial, modernized, warm, cozy feel welcomes you in. Our server was friendly and attentive, and we knew right away that this place was a find! A wonderful happy hour menu, led us to a full menu of what felt like a farm to table experience. I sadly didn't get to snap a photo of the excellent appetizer buratta, but it was a perfect blend of balsamic tomato and creamy cheese! I am a true foodie, and this was hands-down the best burger I've ever eaten. My husband absolutely loved his shrimp and grits, perfectly cooked and well balanced flavor. Well, I know everyone recommends the chocolate cake, I can't rave enough about the crème brûlée. Do yourself a favor and go out of your way to enjoy a " private chef experience" meal! You will be glad you did!
