The down home digs were homey and inviting and we chose to eat outside in the covered patio out front. The menu is interesting and varied; I'd state some of the food is county-style and some has a Cuban flair. My shrimp entree, which I chose to have, accompanied by rice and beans was very good. My daughter selected the chicken fingers and the portion was hearty and she devoured it. JR's has a special brunch menu and live music regularly so check out their website for information. Check this place out if you like charming-go frills places with great food.

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.

Apparently this place has been here for about a year or so. So, decided to try it! First thing i…read morenoticed was the bar and the upscale decor. 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!

When I got there, my party was already seated and I had to wait for them to bring another table over. By that time, the meat service had already started, so I missed some of the rotation. I checked out the food bar, the black beans looked good but had pork sausage in them, so I couldn't eat that. When the meats came around, most were medium rare or rare, which is too pink for me. I asked for a different temp and one of the guys kinda caught an attitude when I said the piece he gave me had too much fat. It got awkward real quick as he told me there is no fat on the meat. Also asked for A1 and it took a while. Overall, it wasn't terrible. I had a good time because I was with family, but food-wise it didn't wow me. If I'm doing Brazilian steakhouse, I'd rather drive to Texas de Brazil. If you're in Sarasota and don't feel like driving, Rodizio Grill is cool... just not my first pick.

They promptly brought us to our table. No wait at all. They sat us at a booth we requested a hockey game section. They put a whole bunch of TVs with the hockey game on all around so it was very easy to watch the game with no problem. And they had the sound on, amazing. I was really impressed with how nice and clean the restaurant was and their decor. Plus the amount of TVs. They have a lot of deals during week days like 3.99 bud-light and more and happy hour till 7:00pm. I ordered the smashed avocado turkey sandwich it was so delicious! I loved the creamy chunks of avocado in the sandwich! Comes with crispy sweet potatoes frys. The meat was so silky and good. Next my husband got the fish and chips and a bowl of chillis soup. He said the soup was amazing it tasted so homemade it was full of so many flavors he was so impressed. He got the fish and chips and he loved every bit of it because they were crispy and with large chunks of fish crispy and so tasty loved it. He loved would definitely get it again. We had good service the server helped me with my dairy allergy situation and made sure I was taken care of so I appreciate that. Also the manager help also.

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. Yes, you can get legit Italian food and a really good cheesesteak here! We did not try the pizza, but it looked like good thin crust pizza. Next time. Thank you Anthony for an excellent meal and Claudia for taking care of us. Go Birds!

The football game special prices are really not that special. Today we ordered the cheesesteak with just meat and cheese. But it came out with everything else. So it had to be sent back. The au jus tasted off, there was a slight pickle taste to it. The burgers were pretty good. Unfortunately, two of the drinks that we got from the special football menu had incorrect prices. We mentioned the one we had originally noticed to our server, and she did take the extra $2 off for the mule. But we didn't realize that the Heineken 0 we ordered had the incorrect price until we had already paid. So we paid an extra $1.50* for that unnecessarily. We did tell our server as we were walking out. She apologized again, but it's frustrating because we were incorrectly charged for a drink during a Steelers game last year. I'm sure we will go back to watch other games to be around other fans, but I would not make this my weekly Steelers hangout. They either need to correct their menu prices/make the specials more clear, or they need to fix their POS system. *Heineken 0 is listed as being $5, but we were charged $6.50. The bucket of 5 Heineken is listed as $29. It makes no sense to pay more money for 5 in a bucket than it would be for 5 singles ($25), so I'm guessing the $5 price on the menu is incorrect.
