Drew's American Grill — Restaurant in Florida

My first time. My Fav Fab One had been several times and was relentless about me trying Drew's. I'd also read a LOT of great reviews. So, game on!

Arriving on a Friday night around 7-ish, the place was busy, but we got seated almost immediately. Awesome! Service stands out at Drew's. Almost every review gives high points and now I do, too. Our server was the bubbly Ms Crystal. She zoomed about the place with such enthusiasm that it was very uplifting. If you're not in the best mood when you walk in, you will be when you leave. We noted when anyone walked in the door, someone would welcome them, or ask if they could help. First impressions. Priceless.

My eyes caught sight of a tempting tease. A menu board boldly announcing the Soup du Jour was Broccoli Cheddar. I get weak in the knees for Broccoli Cheese. I ordered a bowlful of that veggie-moo goo. It was FULL of big chunks of broccoli and lots of cheese. No skimping. YUM!

Fab One ordered a Caprese Salad. That's sliced tomatoes, big slices of mozzarella, sprinkled with fresh basil and oiled up with a nice Balsamic glaze. A tasty appetizer, for sure.

Next, Crystal flew in with an order of wings. Buffalo style. These things sing. We both know good wings, and these certainly qualify. Meaty, perfectly cooked with a wonderful sauce. These babies were going out on the town, so we dressed them in Ranch!

I had so many choices, everything looked tempting, but I ended up getting the Philly Style Roast Beef sandwich. The succulent, juicy ROAST BEEF is to die for. Freakin amazing.

I must say I was NOT bowled over by the Philly treatment. First of all, it was served on a Kaiser Roll, think fancy hamburger bun. I'd prefer a nice big traditional Hoagie roll. And it could have used more peppers, onions and cheese please! The taste was good, it just didn't scream Philly at me. Especially at a $15 price point. Locally, I've had true Philly representation, for a bit less.

Overall, Drew's kicked big butt! It's a fun and lively place. Clean and bright. Outside seating if desired. Great food. STELLAR SERVICE! IMPECCABLE SERVICE! Tell them Fab One and...

I must say that the restaurant is very good BUT I had issues with being served a well done ribeye steak 12 oz. rather than a medium steak. When brought to the attention of the waitress she immediately offered to replace it with a fresh steak cooked medium. Medium is a light pink center. The replacement steak was... well I could have chased it around the plate which I really didn't mind but I had noticed that the replacement steak was actually the ribeye and the steak they had originally severed was indeed a 8 oz sirloin steak. Had it not been for my steak having been over cooked I would have paid 24 dollars for a sirloin which is 19 dollars. Don't get me wrong I am sure it was an honest mistake but just watch what you order. I think the cook could use a little bit of training as to cuts of meats and cooking time Im certain that they will get the hang of it. I ended up taking my steak home to finish cooking it. I will give them another shot since they have just opened but in the future I hope that they are more aware of cuts of meat as they only serve 2 steak choices other than chopped steak which I consider a fancy name for a hamburger without a bun. As for the Cajun chicken pasta my wife says it could use a little bit of Cajun seasoning as it had no cajun kick to it but, it was tasty overall. The service was spot on and friendly. Beer and pop were cold and timely. I don't usually order a steak at a grill but I figured I'd give it a try. I would suggest that they maybe add a pork fritter sandwich to the menu or maybe a breaded pork tenderloin sandwich as they are far and few between in Florida. The deep fried mushrooms are a must try. Perfect. Once they work the little things out they will have a long wait time to be seated so help them out give them a try and enjoy it's really a great place for family...

Just moved back to Spring Hill. Noticed this place had popped up and wanted to give it a try. First off, the place is a VIBE. The music is turned up a little too high for the size of the restaurant. But the art and the aesthetic are IT. Very chill very cool. The service, awful. Restaurant was very slow. 8 tables including the patio. I watched as hosts and servers chatted rolling silverware while I waited 8 minutes for my drink order to be taken. Watched them walk past dirty dishes instead of pre bussing tables. Just not at all what you want to see when a restaurant is slow. If you aren’t working, go home. Plain and simple. The food, was definitely a quality product. However, lazy cooks will be a hindrance to this place. Wings not tossed in sauce, but rather poured on to the plate. A big no no. Fries, while they LOOKED a crispy golden brown. Were mushy, and golden only due to the old fryer oil. Which you could taste oozing from the fries. I did order the soup of the day, which was excellent.

Overall, a cool place that just needs a strong staff behind it. Definitely looking forward to giving it a second try.

• 3 week update. Glad I came back. Food was great, service was excellent. Long gone are people standing around doing nothing. Place was steady and everyone was moving. Music was chill in the background. Want to personally thank my server. People eating alone don’t always get the attention they deserve from servers, because they’ll assume due to check size, the tip will be small. But my drink stayed full, food came out timely. And I appreciate a server who tries to upsell deserts. Great experience over all. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a cool place to eat. Personally want to thank Crystal for the...
