Arrow There Are MANY Choices in Florida!

Up north we live within 30 minutes of one. If we are not there at opening, we skip them, or just order online pickup a to go order.

Sorry, but there are MANY Cheesecake Factory restaurants in Florida other than the two you mentioned:

2 in Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, Naples, Jacksonville, Sarasota, West Palm Beach, Tampa, Boca Raton, Brandon, Sunrise, Palm Beach Gardens, and Pembroke Pines.

I've eaten in many of them and never have I ever had a bad meal.

Don't agree with your comment at all. First Watch is great, their food is a cut above most other breakfast/lunch places and their prices are excellent. The one off Spanish Springs is always busy from opening to close.

Completely agree - been to Darrell's a few times, nothing special at all. First Watch, a few times - and wonderful all around. Can't wait for their new location.

Perhaps the person responding earlier, extolling Darrell's, was... Darrell.

It would great if there was a restaurant that offered something besides breakfast & lunch--we never eat breakfast and or lunch out--just go out for dinner 3 times a week--something different would be appreciated

No big surprise regarding what you said about Darrell's.

At best, while I know they do have a following (which I will never understand), what they "turn out" is very mediocre.

They win the prize for portion control, what they serve seems to taste as though it comes out of a pre-fab package and their bread is . . . . meh!

Price and convenience, IMHO, is what drives most restaurants in TV, quality is a distant 3rd--after hearing people praise mediocrity, time after time--all I can say is , nothing--they'll never get it

Darrell's can't hold a candle to First Watch. I hope FW opens one in Trailwinds.
