Food + Beer - Florida Sports Bar — Restaurant in Florida

It was hard keeping myself to my rule of visiting an establishment 3 times before writing a review.

I knew from my first step up the little curb from the "right in front" parking spot; being greeted enthusiastically by a outdoor dining customer; that I was going to like this place.

The owner and management very obviously have passion for their restaurant.

The staff each time have been friendly without being obsequious. Knowledgeable. Efficient.

The menu is very well designed. Not overwhelming, and offering unique and comfortable foods for all types of diners. It is quite easy to fall in love with several different items!

The food... Oh the food. The chef actually gives a bleep!

Everything we have ordered so far... We are working our way through the whole menu... Has been artfully plated. Perfectly cooked. Most importantly DELICIOUS!

The fries are hand cut and served in a paper bag. You shake up the bag upon receipt of it to perfectly season your crispy, hot, potatoes of goodness. The bag also absorbs excess grease so your fries are not disgusting. It is a BRILLIANT idea!

I know I am gushing about something so pedestrian as fries... But when your kitchen puts this kind of effort into something so simple... You know their specialties are going to be fantastic! And they are!

I could write a thousand more words describing it all... But EFF that! Go! Go try it for yourself! You will be...

After a busy morning of Shopping the wife and I stumbled across this place, a hidden gem of sorts.

Lindsey greeted us with a smile and had great suggestions for local Beers. I chose a Cigar City Brewing's Florida Man - A Double IPA. We started out with an order of PBR Fried Pickles which had the perfect amount of flakey batter, which did not make it feel like I was eating a pickle sandwich. The Pickles had a semi-sweet brine finish which was complimented by their delicious dipping sauce.

I ordered the Mericuhhh burger and My wife ordered the Obligatory Buffalo Chicken sandwich with a side of Sweet Potato Tater Tots.

The burger was juicy, loaded down with fresh toppings and the bun was even toasted. The meat itself had a great season to it and it could have been a meal on it's own.

The Buffalo chicken sandwich was crispy, covered in a modest amount of buffalo sauce with a great flavor.

The Tater tots were unlike anything I had ever had before. Don't question it, get a side order of them.

French fries are home cut similar to another big chain that also puts them in a brown paper sack. They are the kind of fries you'll eat until they are all gone, delicious.

Prices were on par for the area and justifiable based on the quality of service and food. Thank you Lindsey and staff for a great meal and lovely...

So, although I think their food is very good (except the nugs). We had an awful experience. We just started going here to watch the Philadelphia Eagles games last year. It has a ton of Eagles fans and was a good time. Opening game this year we got there early (you have to in order to get a seat for the game) and ate and had drinks. My husband was feeling very good and was talking to lots of other fans and having a good time. They (I think the owner) announced they were pulling raffle numbers and if it was yours you would get an Eagles trivia question and if you were right you got a free drink. He then said no yelling out the answer "and I am talking to you gold chain" he said to my husband. We laughed because it was a legit comment since he was drunk. BUT THEN he pulled my husband's number! Lots of us laughed. He looked at my husband and said he didn't need a drink and he pulled another number. That was so uncalled for! We left immediately. WE WILL NEVER BE BACK. No need to comment since you have no shot at anything but I use to tell a lot of people how nice your place was and that will not ever happen again. Also, good chance he would have gotten the...
