Truman's Tap Grill - Lakewood Ranch

Our server Zach was incredible! It was my first time dining here, and the experience was fantastic.

The food was outstanding, with plenty of choices for everyone. The service was flawless! We sat at the bar, and the two staff members working there were exceptional; they really took great care of us. It was clear from seeing how they interacted with others that this is a place people love to frequent. If it were closer to our home, we would definitely become regulars too!

I came in for lunch and a drink and sat at the bar next to two other regulars, Marine and Barb. If it hadn't been for their jokes and company, I might have left. There was no bartender in sight! The bar staff completely ignored us for almost 40 minutes. When we finally flagged one down to ask for a drink, she just walked away. I've never experienced this kind of treatment here or anywhere else, and I was really let down, as this isn't how it usually is. I hope they find a more attentive bartender soon, or I may have to seek out a new spot.

Regrettable that I have to give 1 star, but I honestly did not like the food. The Blueberry Grill ribs were dipped like meat in jam, and they literally fell from the bones - not in a good way... my beer infused Mac and cheese was essentially all bacon. I tried some of the black grilled salmon- basically tasteless. Besides, the live music was really... not good. Our server was ok, but the service cannot be either bland or simply not tasty for eating. The price was also a little absurd as it wasn't great.

Came here with a couple friends today and ordered the jambalaya and was not disappointed! Flavor was great and had a whole lot of chicken, andouille sausage, shrimp, and bell peppers. They were generous with the ingredients and that is what I appreciate about this place!! Waitress was also nice and friendly. Thank you for the pleasant experience.
