Dawsons Eatery - (Near Lakeland, FL)

Christina Santowasso First time but definitely not the last! Very clean, love the atmosphere! Can serve large parties!! We had no idea it was happy hour! Drinks are half off and really good daily specials. We had the calamari, Parmesan chicken, and shrimp scallop over risotto. Everything was delicious! Prices were reasonable! We will be back!!

Scott Heflin Love a good marina restaurant. Watching the boats come in and out made the stop. The food was pretty good. The service was very slow for the number of people there. First round of drinks came out after the appetizer showed up. Slow to no refills. But we were on vacation. Not like we were in a rush.

Карина Хис We visited Why Not? café and were very pleased with our experience! Our server, Fernanda, was incredibly friendly, attentive, and cheerful. She explained in detail which dishes contain meat, which was very helpful since we don’t eat it. Thanks to her, choosing our meal was easy and pleasant. We started with a pineapple fresh juice — it was natural, refreshing, and perfectly balanced in sweetness. The food was absolutely delicious: I ordered the Why Not signature rolls, and they were simply incredible — tender, flavorful, and beautifully presented. We also ordered a large seafood portion for three people — everything was cooked perfectly: fresh shrimp, mussels, calamari, and a rich, aromatic sauce with just the right amount of spice. The dish was generous and truly tasty. To finish, we had coffee. The latte was strong, aromatic, and a perfect ending to the meal. Overall — great service, cozy atmosphere, and very delicious food. We will definitely return and highly recommend this place!

ssatori If you’re afraid of birds, this may not be the place for you. (There once was a pigeon named Clint…) For pretty much anyone else this is a nice stop on your Key West visit. Said accompanied me on my continuing journey to visit every brewery in Florida. About 100 down and another 150 to go. This place is mostly restaurant, a good beer list made on site and a large game room to entertain the kids while you sip your libations. The beer was good, I focused on Hazy IPAs and they were just fine, 3 1/2 to four stars out of five (Untapped for good accurate beer reviews), keeping in mind that I drink a lot of beer. There was absolutely nothing wrong with the beers, but my five stars are reserved for the ones that give me cartoon wide eyes. The food and the location are the primary stars of the show. The Roast Beef and Grilled Cheese Sammy was good, but nothing mind blowing. The Brewer’s Chicken Sammy, however, was flavorful, moist and about the size of my open hand. This was an excellent sandwich and, frankly, Sydney and I should have shared this one. In the back, they have a fairly robust and modern game room for kids and kids at heart to enjoy. We were visiting on a cruise stop and I had another brewery to hit, so we had lunch and two beers before heading onward. I would absolutely recommend this as a stop for lunch for any beer snobs or a quick family stop.

Sherry Conrad Great little Italian joint with a comprehensive wine list. Dont let the location fool you! This restaurant puts a lot of flavor in their little piece of Bradenton. Highlights included the caprese salad, cheese wheel pasta, and of course the tiramisu!

Priscilla Carter This was our second time at Pigs Beach and again, it did not disappoint!! Today we tried their Brisket nachos. They were great but we preferred their mozzarella sticks from last weekend. Christina our waitress was Amazing! Love the atmosphere. If you are into beer, barbecue and sports this is the place to come!!!
