Food 5/5 Service 5/5…read moreAmbiance 5/5 This is my mom and I's go to spot when I make it into town. Their chips, salsa and guacamole is fresh and delicious and we love their bowls! Both of us got the hot & crunchy with the ahi tuna. So yum!! Our waitress was kind and attentive and I love the live plants they showcase around the seating area. We of course will be back! :)

The service is amazing. The staff was attentive and helpful. I wish the food was better. I was in the mood for a salad. The first disappointment was that they only gave 3 choices. I am on a gluten free diet and didn't have a problem with that. I did have a problem with the fact that 2 out of 3 salads had cheese in it and is not for someone who adheres to a dairy free diet. Yes, I could have asked if the cheese could be left out. But these salads had multiple kinds of cheese. I never wanted to be that person who asks to leave out half of the ingredients because of dietary restrictions. I would have had to do that. Maybe the answer is the choice to have a custom salad for people like me. The second disappointment was that the salads had a price without any protein. When you added one of the proteins, the salad became very expensive. This was a huge turnoff. The last disappointment was the ice tea. Although there were 3 choices, two of them had ingredients to which I am allergic. The third choice had caffeine. There was really no choice other than to drink water. I chose the restaurant because it was midway between us and friends. I looked at ratings and the number of stars when I travel out of town. This was not really what I expected.

The bowls are reasonably priced and packed with flavor. My go-to is the regular Build-Your-Own Bowl. I choose sweet potato noodles paired with almond kale salad as my base, Brussels sprouts or sweet potatoes for veggies, and tofu (don't worry -- they have plenty of meat options!) for protein, topped with tomatoes, almonds, and pickled onions. It's so delicious and loaded with nutrients to keep me going. Not only is it healthy and satisfying, but the regular bowl is under $12! The staff is also generous with portions, making it an outstanding value. I can't recommend this place enough. I go regularly, and the food and service are consistently excellent. Thank you, Bolay!

Crazy fast. Just before getting the bowls home the car started to smell like the food and it was yummy. Opened the two bowls at home and they were chock-full of all the fresh ingredients we picked to the brim. Awesome. Didn't even need the two sauces they let you pick cuz the food was so fresh and flavorful. Every forkful had it's own unique blend of tastes and they were all great together. The chipotle sauce was tasty and light. The ginger tumeric had a great taste but was made with a mayo base I think and was just too thick/heavy. If they thinned it out a bit it would be perfect. This minor shortcoming was not enough to earn less than 5 stars. Enough food for 2 more meals, all for $10-15. Will Definitely be eating here again soon and frequently. Fresh, light, flavorful, clean. Done.

Nancy K was our server and she is not only fabulous in personality, she knew her menu. All of her recs were great and she showed genuine care for us. What's also great about this place is still being able to find reasonably priced food when dining out! A family of 3 adults and child, we had apps and each an entree and our meal still came up to $78 prior to tip. The food was also delicious. I had the gumbo on my most recent visit as well as the onion rings. The gumbo was just what I needed. The onion rings are hugeeee, a bit oily but light so I didn't completely feel like an impending heart attack. Would recommend the restaurant and Nancy K.

The bar area is kinda dark and you can see straight into the kitchen, but the trade off is that the bartender is usually your server and your drinks are the priority. The portion sizes are quite large, and I always have leftovers when I order an entree. I usually opt to share an app with my BF (current fave: BBQ shrimp, which have literally nothing to do with BBQ but are nothing short of divine) and then i usually just order a side of fried oysters (highly recommend, SO good!!!) When we're tossing around dinner ideas, nobody in our house says no when this place is mentioned. The hurricanes aren't the best I've ever had, but they are CRAZY STRONG and one was more than enough.

We were a trio of old-time Brandon residents, back to visit friends and relatives. Naturally, first thing we wanted to check out was some food! Well, after we got caught up on the gossip and all. All three of us were doing the online food finder thing. My buddy mentioned he saw Babe's still had their sign up. WHAT????? No way, man. They closed a while back. Supposed to have some kind of diner or something going into that building. That's when, through the magic of the internet, we found the listing for Babe's. It mentioned nothing about being closed. In fact, it listed the hours of service. Hmmmmmmm, we were thinking. Then, we started reading the reviews. The most RECENT reviews. Never mind some of the old ones. That is no longer relevant history. Best pizza, one guy says. It's just like it always was, says another. NOTHING has changed. Well, THAT was good enough for some long-time Babe's patrons. We jumped in the car and headed out. NO NEED for GPS. WE knew the way. The place was pretty busy. Dine in AND a LOT of takeout orders. The owner, Nick, immediately welcomed us and truly made us feel welcome. Over the course of our meal, he and a few other staff stopped by to ensure all of our double decker needs were being met! We were VERY impressed with the high level of care and service. Even better when my 'side' salad arrived. It was HUGE. We all shared it and we dang near got full on just that. And then, the moment of truth appeared.... This super nice young lady was walking towards us, with a VERY familiar sight. The arousing aroma hit us before she even got to our table. When she parked that sizzling double decker Babe's Special down on our table, we WERE transported back in time. To the last time we dined at Babe's. AND, to the FIRST time we ever dined at Babe's! NOT one thing about anything has changed. Double YUMMMMMMMM! Thank you, Nick and the Babe's gang! Welcome home....
