    Boneless wings and garlic parm sauce

    First time in this location after trying out the other 2 and it was good, but not what I was expecting, I came to this location looking forward for their burger, I also had boneless wings with garlic parm sauce as an appetizer, from the beginning everything was pretty good, service is always amazing and the vibes of the place are always nice, but everything went downhill when I got my boneless and they were frozen in the inside, I communicated to the server about the situation and they gladly fixed it with no problems, I also ordered my burger medium rare but it was well done, I've work in a restaurant before and I know that this kind of mistakes happen and I don't really mind them when it happens, overall the wings were pretty flavorful but I was disappointed with the burger, also the garlic parm sauce doesn't really feel like sauce and it's more like just garlic butter, I still recommend this place because of their staff and how kind they are, but, I would definitely get the cheesesteaks over the burger :)

    I really like this Cheesesteak shop. They aren't my #1 but they aren't way off either. Tough competition here in Sarasota. The service is always quick and friendly. Erin is especially Great. I've tried 3 different types of Cheesesteaks here and enjoyed every one of them. I've also had their hoagies which are pretty good also. It is centrally located here off Rt 70 near Lockwood Ridge. No doubt that I'll be back again soon.

    I have worked a couple hundred yards away from this place for almost 10 years and this is my first time stopping in. My coworkers told me they make a good cheesesteak. I ordered a garlic bomb cheesesteak with onions and peppers . The sandwich was really good. I really enjoyed it and I will be back for more. I ordered it take out but the service was good . And the place was clean and had a nice atmosphere. I will be back

    We have visited this location as well as the owner's other locations and have thoroughly enjoyed their food! We have eaten in as well as ordered to go! The service has always been good! I also love the food! The chicken Philly is my most favorite! I love to pair it with their tator tots! The inside is a little smaller but we have been seated comfortably and not had any issues with sound and conversing. You can also sit outside which is a great option on some of our beautiful days!

    Fresh bread, three cheese slices, lots of peppers and onions, and ribeye on a fresh bread - 6 or 12 inch sandwiches available. Prices are reasonable. Very tasty. And the bread was stuffed full. Unlike the Philly spots, here they chop the meat, cheese and veggies diligently until its consistency is more like ground beef. It does combine the ingredients thoroughly. Staff was friendly snd there are a handful of tables if you want to eat in. Place was full on a weekday at lunchtime. Will try some of their other offerings next visit.

    My companion and I were out and about on the Easter weekend. We had had South Philly cheesesteaks before, and knew the french fries were very good. Since we were in the neighborhood, we decided to return. The restaurant sits at a very busy intersection in a strip mall, and has indoor and outdoor seating. We decided to eat inside, and we immediately met by the waitress who promptly took our drink order and returned to take our order. She was very friendly and efficient. I ordered the Philly cheesesteak with no peppers and my companion ordered the Bollettieri Chicken Salad. I also ordered a side of the Phiery fries. The home style fries arrived first, and had a nice spicy Sriracha seasoning. The side of Ranch dressing went well with the fries. My Philly and the Bollettieri Chicken Salad arrive shortly thereafter. The salad is huge and is easily fit for two. In our case we brought some home. The salad has a full blackened chicken breast on top and at least half a cup of feta cheese. It is also full of walnuts and cranberries. The Philly cheesesteak arrived, hot on an Amarosa bread bun, and had just the right of onions and cheese for me. I don't like green peppers, and they gladly left them off. We arrived right at the rush as the restaurant quickly filled up, but the waitress was very attentive and kind. As quickly as a restaurant filled up, it emptied out. I was very impressed with the small staff ability to keep everything moving. The interior of the restaurant is very clean and welcoming And the glasses of Coca-Cola were large. While I find Delco's in Dunedin to have a better Philly cheesesteak, this one is definitely serviceable and worth a second visit.

    We had the halibut special with crab, the rainbow trout, and the ribeye. The halibut was…read morespectacular. Melted in your mouth. The trout was very good; the dill sauce was a great accent. Both came with a kale and quinoa salad which was refreshing with a hint of heat. A+. Unfortunately the ribeye initially was overdone. My partner ordered medium rare, and although the steak was flavorful, there was no pink in sight and it was slightly tough. After a few minutes, when our server checked in, we let him know, a manager came over soon after, and he said he would have it redone. It took longer than expected, and the other two of us were done eating before it arrived. In fact, I was panicked that the steak would again be overdone as some time had passed, and I said that to the server. But the steak was perfectly done when it arrived. To make up for the lateness, the manager offered us a dessert. We had the key lime and it was amazing. Surprisingly but appreciatively we were comped the steak. They made it right and that is important. Service was good. I did run out of water a few times. My only real complaint there was the server should have asked us to cut into the steak right away. I wish all restaurants did this. This is our second time here. We were here last year and had a great meal then as well. We will be back.

There were at least three hostesses/waiters/tresses greeting us at the door. It's more of an adult environment. Very nice! We ordered an app, the cornbread, their claim to fame. And it certainly was fantastic!!! I had the cowboy salad. It was all chopped up just how I like my salads. Perfect amount of ingredients, they didn't skimp! The only issue, and I could have asked for more, was they should bring a small side of dressing when they bring the salads out. Regardless the salad was yummy! The prices were steep but not any more than you would expect to pay in an upscale restaurant, $23. And, what I appreciated was they DO NOT INCLUDE AN AUTO GRATUITY! YAY!!! Overall the experience was outstanding; environment was beautiful, service was good, food was delicious. We will be back, many times I'm sure!

I generally like ordering food that is named after the restaurant, thinking it's an item they are particularly proud of. It wasn't hard for me to decide to select their The S.O.B., a smoked bacon and blue cheese sandwich. In under 10 minutes our food arrived, and it was super good. With a brioche bun and all the toppings this was a tall burger. While I tried their natural cut fries from another plate, very good, I had ordered their coleslaw. That was an outstanding side with red cabbage, a bit tropical, a bit sweet. Service was wonderful, she was friendly and willing to chat while it wasn't busy, and did an excellent job with drink refills and handling the check stuff. They do have a service charge for using a credit card but that was easily removed when I paid with cash. The décor was rich, in that the walls were covered with $1 bills. Gives the place character.

A PA person having a cheesesteak in FL). I judge the bread first. Took one bite and my husband said, this bread HAS to be from DE or Philly. Sure enough, the bread dough is flown in from Philly! The meat was plentiful and delicious. If you want a REAL cheesesteak come here!!! We also tried the meatball appetizer. I asked the owner (Anthony) about them because they were just like my friend's Italian mom's meatballs. Tender and obviously not fried. The real kind. The last item we tried was the bolognese. Amazing. Good meat, not cheap junk like so many fake Italian places serve. The gravy has an ever so slight touch of spice to it...(?red pepper flakes, Anthony?) just like NJ Italian. So.
