Yes, it was the Owner.

He did give me a coupon card for a free burger.

Anyone who wants it let me know.
I’ll be happy to spring for the stamp and mail it to you!

Sorry I ruined the JR stock holders day. That’s the only reason anyone would defend that place.

I prefer to go Gator's Dockside for their wings. Weekdays unadvertised lunch special, six wings and fries $7.99 or 10 wings, fries, Blue Cheese plus drink for $10.99, add celery for 75 cents. Once I find a great steak sub, I don't go anywhere else. I've learned all the best places for everything I would want.

I’m on a quest for the best burger in TV but it’s tough! I have to laugh when people recommend Five Guys.
Sadly, the best burger in TV is no more since the Burger Station at Colony closed. Where are you Chef Don? We miss you (and your food)!

He did try to apologize for the burger with a free one

I think a lot of their business is visitors and residents who don't know better because they've never been there.

Buckeye I’m an Irish fan and in this case you my friend are right on the mark.

The only person to fix it before it goes under is the Owner and I just don’t see that happening.

Case Closed!

These are the same people who bash Publix or The Fresh Market and claim their less expensive food from Walmart is the same or better. Sometime I wonder why some people put junk into their mouths and wonder why they have heart issues or high cholesterol.

Jersey Mikes is a solid Italian hoagie (unfortunately not golf cart accessible).
There is a Jersey Mikes at Rolling Acres Plaza (same plaza as Target). We went there all the time in a golf cart.

I don't remember a Jersey Mike's near Sumter Landing but there is one near SPanish Springs.

Love the concept of the traditional diner/shake shack but it will be a long time before we try this place again. Disappointing.
They have been closed a few times by the health dept.

When they start cutting things like no more extra fries, 50 cents for extra sauce or pay extra for anything more than one packet of ketchup. You know they are on their way out.

Blames it on the unemployment money being doled out which is probably more than what that job would pay. Sad.
Yup, other establishments having unemployment issues too. I personally know people who don't need the unemployment money that are receiving it say "I'm not doing what everyone else isn't doing" as they enjoy a wonderful vacation.

When an Owner is not concerned about undercooked food being served than who is?

Best to stay away from there and get a great cheeseburger from the food truck at Edna’s!
Best hot dog I've ever had.
