The service is a great and they made the coffee as we wanted. This restaurant is a mix between a Dunkin’s and a Starbucks as you can rest and relax while eating in comfortable chairs. They even have a putting green in front of the restaurant to practice your golf putting.

Visited for a weeknight dinner. Inside was very loud, and had to wait awhile for a bartender to even notice us. We sat outside, which was as very quiet and pleasant. Shared a flatbread appetizer, then hubby had a burger and I had pulled pork. His “medium” burger was very red in the center, and my pulled pork had way to much barbecue sauce, and honestly did not taste freshly made at all. Probably would not return here.

Decided 2 go back for dinner & try Ybor Grille again. The weather was beautuful so we decided 2 eat out on the screened porch. Only 6 or 8 tables so you don't feel crowded in at all. Waitress was very accomodating. Explained specials.
I had tilapia with shrimp cream sauce & homemade garlic mashed potatoes. Excellent. Do stop by for lunch or dinner. Worth the drive, right off Rt 41.

Went to the brewery as a rainy Sunday night. Couldn't decide where to eat, so this was a great option. A crafted beer and a pizza. Ordered Sausage and Mushroom pizza. It came without plates nor napkins. Delivery charge was $2.50. The delivery guy lacked personality, especially when asked about the plates or napkins. Just a mundane job. May have gotten a larger tip. A suggestion would be paper plates, utensils or napkins. Pizza was good, crust could be crispier. Guess I will ask next time
10. The Fish House

Reviewed By Bill H - Cooperstown, New York
Drawn by prior reviews, we easily found this ShellPoint Road eatery for lunch. The sight of multiple pickups and sedans signaled a reliable good meal. No disappointment, as we shared the Fisherman's Platter featuring perfectly prepared fresh shrimp, fish, scallops and oysters. Other places serve fishy, greasy excuses. Not here! Enjoyed the old school outdoor seating at picnic tables under the shelter of classic tin roof. Sensible prices. Friendly staff. Customers come off the beaten path of RT 41 for this experience. Repeatedly, like it's home.
