Quick update on Lazy Dog Restaurant & Bar. I just got off the phone with the GM, James. Good…read moreconversation, and he's a genuinely solid guy. We walked through the review, and one thing became clear pretty quickly. The feta wasn't a mistake. It's part of how they build the dish. It's actually tied into their queso blanco and shows up as part of the garnish. The issue is that it's not listed anywhere in the menu description, and I made sure to point that out. To his credit, he said he'd take that back to the team. As for the rest of it, what I reviewed is what they're serving. No changes planned right now. If they ever DO make any changes, I'll be happy to re-review. He did offer a gift card, which I appreciated, but Florida Nacho Man doesn't take comps. The review stands.

There is plenty of parking in a charming plaza, and the restaurant sits right on the lake with beautiful fountain and water views. The restaurant itself is very nice, with great lighting, cute tables that each include their own personal TV, a stylish bar area, and plenty of seating both indoors and outside. Our server was great. I believe his name was Felipe or Philip. The food was also very good. Chips and Guac: Thin, crispy chips that were not overly salted. The guacamole was fantastic, with fresh pico mixed in and a true guacamole taste, not just mashed avocado. Pomegranate Chicken: My friend ordered this and loved it. It was served over couscous with a dipping sauce on the side. All of the flavors worked really well together. Steak Tips: Cooked perfectly and served with a salad. My other friend really enjoyed this dish. The meat was tender and flavorful. Kids Meal: Not pictured, but the chicken tenders came with fries. The chicken was grilled, which I thought was a great option. The fries were a hit with both the toddler and mom, who happily snacked on them too. I had a glass of Pessimist wine after asking for a recommendation for something slightly sweeter. It was the bartender's suggestion. It was just okay for me. I did not find it sweet, but compared to a drier red, it was definitely smoother and softer in taste. We really enjoyed our visit and spent some time walking around outside afterward. Such a cute spot, and we would definitely return.

I came here for mother's day lunch and unfortunately I was disappointed. The first thing that…read morestood out was how much seating was available for Mother's day. Usually a restaurant like this would be packed. Once we got to our table there were flys everywhere. I think we saw about 5 of them on the table or against the window. The staff was actually nice and they did move us to another seat that had less flys, but I still saw one or two after eating. The food itself was ok. I got the fried chicken spicy sandwich and the chicken was not crispy and the fries were a little soggy. My wife got the terriaki tocos which were decent but the side salad was a little underwheling being that is was just pure lettuce. While the staff was very friendly, I can't recommend this place. The price was a little more than I would expect for the caliber of food and the flys are a big turn off. I saw bluelights throught the resturaunt, so I it seems like they are aware of the issue.

After fasting for a blood test, I was starving! I could not wait to head over and check out the new…read moreKeke's Breakfast Cafe in Parkland at the Waterways Shoppes. Keke's is a chain of breakfast and lunch restaurants that opened in 2006 and is based out of Orlando. They have grown to locations all over Florida. I have dined at their Boca and Winter Park locations before. In July 2022, they were purchased by the Denny's Corporation, but Keke's continues to operate separately from Denny's. According to their website, "Keke's Breakfast Cafe is dedicated to providing an outstanding breakfast; a meal where everything is handmade, using the best ingredients available, with fresh fruits and vegetables delivered daily, and using the highest quality bread and dairy products." They pride themselves on service, cleanliness, and quality, and that is what keeps bringing me back. This Keke's location is really bright and colorful. I love the pastel color scheme and Florida-centric theme. The Parkland mural is an especially nice touch. They have a large dining room and a few seats on the patio out back overlooking the waterway. Sierra was my server, and she was so sweet and attentive. I started off with some much needed coffee, which is great here. Bad coffee is a pet peeve of mine. Keke's has the sort of indulgent breakfast menu I love, with stuffed French toast and fruit-topped waffles and pancakes. If you are not into sweet, dessert like breakfasts, they also have a savory lunch menu with sandwiches, salads, and wraps. The entire menu makes my mouth water, especially the decadent stuffed French toast options. I ended up choosing the cinnamon apple French toast and made it a combo with home fries and bacon. Everything was perfection, but my eyes were bigger than my stomach, and I ended up needing a take-home box. While I was dining, Sierra kept the coffee flowing and checked in often. If you are looking for both great food and great service, give Keke's a try. I am so glad to have a location closer to home.

We visited for brunch over a holiday weekend, so it was no surprise the restaurant was busy. We…read morewere warmly greeted by the hostess, who gave us an estimated 45-minute wait. The space is larger than it initially appears, and the wait ended up going by quickly before we were seated. Our server, Brittany, was excellent--she brought us water right away and took our orders in a timely and attentive manner. I ordered the chicken Italian panini and asked to substitute the kettle chips for a salad, but was informed there would be an additional charge of nearly $3. Other members of our party also looked into substituting sides (kettle chips for onion rings) and were told it would be a $4 upcharge--almost the same cost as simply ordering the onion rings separately. As a result, none of us made substitutions, which was disappointing given that the menu indicates side substitutions are available. Our food arrived promptly and was overall very good. That said, my sandwich was missing the pickle, and the kettle chips were a bit greasier than expected. Overall, this is a solid brunch spot, but be aware of the relatively high upcharges for side substitutions if that's something you're considering.

Unfortunately, the manager offered no solution or effort to correct the issue. Regardless of how food is delivered, customer service is still the restaurant's responsibility. Instead of making it right, we were left reheating and essentially finishing the food ourselves. That's not the experience you expect when paying restaurant prices. Every single item we received had to be put in the oven including the rice that were undercooked. The manager actually is trying to blame it on the Delivery driver when he admitted himself that the ribs are pre-cooked the night before and then heated up the next day. Terrible service disgusting food. Trying to respond to business manager via this review and no there is no formal way to contact.

The salad was big it had Chicken, smoked bacon, crumbled blue cheese, tomato, hard-boiled egg, cucumber, and red onion on top of crisp iceberg lettuce. We got to watch a some sports on tv and the pre-show to the Kentucky Derby. It was a nice relaxing lunch.

I ONLY REVIEW NACHOS…read more The bartender talked up Duffy's nachos like she had stock in the place. Turns out she was right. That doesn't happen often in this series. Hand-cut chips that held up start to finish. Queso blanco distributed across every chip. No naked chips. No lettuce avalanche. No Fork Rule violation. This is what nacho construction is supposed to look like and most places can't figure it out. The sriracha aioli exists -- I confirmed it on a napkin test. You just won't taste it on the plate. The blackened chicken and sautéed onions steamroll everything underneath them. Lose the onions, double the jalapeños, let the aioli actually show up -- this is a 9. The empty plate said everything. Every. Single. Chip. Gone. Duffy's is in the conversation. Fix the details and they might just win it. Who'd of thought?? 7.5/10 on the Florida Nacho Man scale. 4/5 stars on Yelp.

When you walk in, there is absolutely no explanation of how to order. No host, no greeting, no signage, no "order here" instructions. Nothing. The ordering kiosk is literally behind you. It's mounted along the window and wall on the same side as the entrance door, tucked back in the corner and completely out of plain sight. You don't face it when you walk in, nothing points to it, and there's no indication that it even exists unless someone else tells you or you randomly turn around and spot it. There is no human interaction at all. You eventually realize you're supposed to order from a computer kiosk you weren't meant to notice, and that's the entire process. Once you place your order, the service somehow gets worse. The food comes out very slowly, and not together. It arrives one item at a time, spaced out randomly. There are no napkins and no utensils available, so you're forced to keep asking just to be able to eat. Drinks are served in cans, and even then, I had to ask multiple times to actually get them. Nothing is brought automatically. No one checks on you. No one explains anything. The frustrating part is this: the food is excellent. Once everything finally makes it to the table, the burgers are genuinely very good and clearly well made. So the breakdown: * Food quality: Excellent * Ordering system: Hidden and confusing * Service: Terrible * Overall experience: Needlessly frustrating This place could be really good if they added the bare minimum like signage, basic instructions, utensils, napkins, and some actual customer service. Right now, it feels like a secret test just to figure out how to order before you're allowed to enjoy the food. Great burgers. Bad experience

I loved the chopped eggs in the salad, plus everything was so fresh. The salad was nice and cold, which I just loved. We split the potato skins (without bacon) and we ordered a cup of chili to top off the potato skins. The chili was great on it's own, but really delicious with the cheesy potatoes. I can't wait to go back to try a burger, as they look delicious. They are located in the same plaza as the El Dorado furniture store.

They redid it and sent another plate to him fairly quick. It was cooked right this time, tender and not burnt. They have a discount for veterans, remember to mention it to save a couple of bucks! In the middle of our meal, the servers performed a line dance, what a surprise! I almost danced with them! LOL The music was a bit loud and with restaurant full of dinners talking, we had to kind of shouting over a conversation.
