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.:shrug:

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!

Chatbrat 06-11-2019 12:26 PM
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.
