• Service and food.
• No lunch menu. Poor value.

“Brought a customer to Sarasota location for lunch. Customer remarked "God, They are pretty proud of their meatloaf" I think it was embarrassed to order it because of the price. Instead he ordered a sandwich. I ordered the Deep heat Fried Chicken with greens. When the plate arric = ved with my 2" x 3" piece of chicken and the greens on the plate he remarked." Is this a gourmet Paris restaurant?" Hadn't seen a serving like that since Auschwitz. Convinced me that Leroy's is not the place to bring customers for lunch. $9.00 for a tiny piece of chicken and some greens? No lunch menu either. Too bad leroy's food is good. Just overpriced. Looks like they will go the route of Bennigans and Steak & Ale. Burn me once.”

• Fried green tomatoes.
• Everything else that we ordered.

“The restaurant was nice but the food was not. The pulled pork was extra dry. The gentleman sitting at a table next to me told his waitress the beans were horrible. The restaurant is new to this area and maybe the staff and cooks were inexperienced. I would not eat there again if it was free. But then again I'm picky and this is just my opinion.”

• Best food for value around.
• A bit loud. Not crazy about sports bar type atmosphere but that's just me.

“This was our 3rd time in Salmon's, and we decided to bring 4 couples with us. I was worried that they would not like it and then Id be to blame! But of course, they all loved it. The manager was excellent. He came over and talked to us and brought us a sample of some chicken wings, and the waiter was excellent as well. The food, while very fattening Im sure, is worth the once in a while splurge. Id recommend it to anyone. It has something for all.”

• Chicken wings.
• Very dull ribs.

“We had heard raves about this place. After ordering from there nothing special and I would rather spend the money (and the bill would probably be less) at Outback or along those lines. We probably will not be eating there again. Had ribs, chicken (the wings are pretty good) and pulled pork.”

• Guineas on tap and reasonable prices.
• Inedible fish and inexperienced staff.

“The Sarasota location is relatively new, very loud, and its bar area is where the action is - of all kinds. The dining area is large and completely disorganized. On a typical Saturday evening you are in for an extended wait for no apparent reason; 1 hour is typical, while empty tables and wandering wait staff abound. Once seated, a drink order can take another 20 - 30 minutes depending on the size of your party, apparently because of priorities given for at-bar patrons. One bartender, dozens of bar requests. The menu is medium priced but limited in selection. Don't expect variety like Chili's or Applebee's here. Same with drink selections, by the way. After another 20 - 30 minute wait for food, the guests in our party were pleased with the ribs and beef selections: don't order any fish, since it is basically inedible - especially the salmon. Sides are interesting, and the salad is routine. Altogether, the bill was around $25. per seating, which includes one drink and desert; reasonable price, but not a memorable dining experience. With the waiting time, and the loud-loud "atmosphere" making casual conversation really difficult, the 3 hours spent there was a basically cheap evening. If it weren't for the dozen or so big-screen TVs it would have seemed much longer. Basically, its an over-blown sports bar: go there to drink and get lucky, but don't bother with dining. You can do better in Sarasota even in more regnizable chains.”
