Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Heard from one of our golf partners that we had to try Manny's. Steak and ribs were very good. Happy hour from 4-7 for 2 for 1 drinks. Excellent bread and butter to start, large salad comes with the meal. Great dinner.

Worst service I have ever experienced. Went in at 5 and asked how long the wait was, hostess said about 30 minutes asked my name and size of my party, that's it. I thank her and walk back outside to wait with everyone else, because...inside is full. Shortly after 6 I go back in to ask if it will be much longer, she states she already called me and I didn't answer. I said I've been here the whole time and no one called me, she tells me they don't call for parties outside. I inform her she has several parties outside waiting to be seated and she plainly states "we take their numbers and call them" so why didn't she take my number? Why didn't she make me aware of this policy??? I waited outside for over an HOUR with my family. I'm sure Manny's is great, but this location is trash. There were two girls at the hostess station and neither one could do their job properly. I am so disappointed.More

Food was below average. Ribs were dry, stale and not good. Bottomless salad is ok if you like iceberg lettuce. Wine glass and silverware were dirty. Numerous patrons coughing the entire meal. Only good things was the fresh rolls but the cinnamon butter had an...odd consistency. Would not recommend.More

Went to Manny’s Sunday night. Had an extremely long wait. Manager came over and said the computer didn’t send our dinner order into the kitchen but they’d get right on it. Well how did we get our appetizer if our order didn’t go to the...kitchen? Half hour later we got our steaks which were very good. Had Steve as our waiter and he was very good. Bill was $80.80 and we left a 20% tip so total was $95 and some change. Two days later my bank charge was over $176. When we called the restaurant we found that they charged us the $80.80 and then added the $95 as a tip in error. Girl on the phone refunded $70 and when I informed her that they owed us $80.80 she stated that because she had already done one refund we would have to come in and get $10 in cash. We live an hour away!! When I spoke with the manager he stated that he had to call the credit card company and they will work on it?? Poor management!! Never going backMore

I have just had one of the worse steak meals of my life in this place. I ordered the 6oz sirloin with loaded baked potato, fried mushroom, and salad. The mushrooms were absolutely tasteless. The only thing that gave it flavor was the horseradish dipping...sauce. The salad was so loaded with vinegar I almost gagged. The streak was so tough I could hardly chew it and I ordered it medium and it was served that way. The potato was not done and all the fixing on it did nothing to improve its taste. Even the ice tea was warm. I am serious when I say I could have cooked a better meal than this at home. I will not be going back.More

Got seated in good time, waited a long time for someone to take our drink order, then the nonsense started, sorry sir we are out of lemonade, OK I will have iced tea. Then tried to order dinner, sorry sir we are out of steak...fajitas. OK I will have chicken. Then the chicken fajitas showed up, sorry sir we are out of sour cream. When the manager did his rounds, we explained this to him. All he apparrently heard was the sour cream issue, we did just run out he kept saying, even though the restaurant is within walking distance of an open Publix. The excuses we actually worse than the service.More

Stopped in last night for dinner and we loved it. Got there at 6:45ish and had a 15 minute wait during the wait we studied the giant menu. There is a BIG variety of everything on the menu, something for everyone! We were seated at...a comfortable booth and Esteban was our server. We both had the 6 Oz filet. Hers was ordered plain and I had the blue cheese topping. First they brought out yeast rolls and a cinnamon butter that was delicious…. Next came with a giant bowl of salad that our waiter mixed at the table… we ate everything in the salad….also delicious And next came 2 perfectly prepared filets…. The meal was great our server was very attentive and we can’t wait to get back !More
