Favorite Restaurant for curbside pickup or delivery
 
I have enjoyed curbside pickup at TooJays and Olive Garden. What restaurants do you recommend for curbside pickup? What restaurant delivery services do you recommend?

Sakura or VKI

Kayame but you do have to get out of your car

Mine had been Sakura as well, but the last few times we got take out from them is was not up to their usual standards.

I think that next time we might try VKI. I've always like them a bit better when we would eat inside but Sakura is a lot closer for me.

Bonefish and Carrabba’s

Sakura stiffed us on the last order we made last weekend. I let it pass because the food had been wonderful for the entire time we've lived here. Usually once or twice a week.

All take-out or curbside delivery places that are not busy are off our list for a while because their inventory may not be turning over fast enough and they don't wanna throw it out.

The most helpful yet disappointing report that was given on TOTV'S sometime back was the people preparing the Sangwiches at Jersey Mikes weren't wearing Masks. That's a deal-breaker. I was so disappointed that I never asked which Jersey Mikes was the problem store.

When will the day come that we can go back to living the lifestyles of the Rich and Not So Famous and Swim Down to The Fin or The Plantation or The Chop House several times a week? Just like the good old days. We didn't know they were the good old days. I'll be more appreciative next time around. :pray:

Cheng's is pick up only. The food is good and nicely packed to go. They have a pick up window.

Oakwood Express smokehouse and grill in Wildwood will deliver to your car. I enjoy eating their ribs.

We like Lake Sumter’s Panera

The Japanese restaurant in Lake Sumter Landing. It's at 1004 Old Mill Run just off the square. Excellent sushi.

Better days are coming. I saw on the morning news today that two drug companies (Pfizer and BioNTech) plan to have vaccines ready by month end for FDA approval. Will go to 1st responders and nursing centers first. General rollout to start early next year but will take time to distribute to a mass level. Military working on logistics.

I just did curbside pickup from Thai Ruby at Lake Sumter Landing. They have lunch specials for $8.50, which is a great price. I love their Chicken Curry. But I could not find their lunch special menu online, so ask for a copy when you go in.

HappyRetired 11-09-2020 04:28 PM

Texas Roadhouse. Order and pay online and pick-up is scheduled within 30 minutes (our experience on numerous occasions.)

oldtimes 11-09-2020 06:39 PM

Chop House

Graspher 11-09-2020 10:03 PM

Longhorn

Great text system for notification upon arrival - they deliver to ur car.

big guy 11-09-2020 11:17 PM

Giovanni's and Miller's Pub. Food travels well, is fairly hot on returning home. Mexican food doesn't travel well.

Here we go again, hijack the thread to post self serving, though ignorant, comment.

And, if requested, they will cook the pie a tad longer, making it a "New Jersey" pizza. IMO, the best pizza in TV; but, still not as good as Vic's.

How does the Tai Ruby pick up work? Can you order and pay online and where do you pick it up? Love Tai Ruby but don’t want to go inside to pay and pick up.

Can you pay on line or do you have to give them a credit card when you pick it up?

Kahuna32162 11-22-2020 04:36 PM

We use grub hub and door dash at least once a week. Some of our favs are Michelle’s catering and Terra del sol. Trying Zazby’s tonight...I’m craving some wings!
