"we ordered a Greek salad, lemon soup, and the chicken pot-pie. The salad and pot-pie were excellent. The soup was watery and light on stuff...like chicken and orzo. The low spot was the service. We were immediately seated and knew what we wanted without a menu. We got our salad quickly and then it was 30 minutes into supper before we got our soup and another 15 minutes for the pot-pie. The lady who took our order did not show again until check time. No one came to the table to ask us if we needed anything. We had to stop another waiter to get water. There were lots of staff hanging around the bar talking and not watching after their customers. The servers were friendly when we could find one. I am not sure that I would go back."

"The service was great and the food was excellent. The timing of the courses was perfect. Great atmosphere and not noisy. You can have a conversation at the table without having to repeat yourself. Nice selection of wines. The selection of appetizers and entrees are diverse enough to easily make a selection of you favorite food. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and will be back again."

"Food was good! Service was good. No wait. Nice after the game. Two for one drafts, however, both came out at the same time. A time saver for the server who was busy, but really? and the ice tea was really watered down. The price is good and the food, something we can't find back home. We make it a point to grab a meal every year when in town for spring training"

"We were happy with Pappas Ranch, wouldn't say it was awesome but very good food and service. The portions are large, so it is a very good value. The deer heads on the wall were a little tacky. Seating is great for large groups and didn't feel like you were real close to the next table. Overall, nice place for a nice meal."

"We met friends for dinner on a Saturday night. The atmosphere was energetic and folks seemed to be having a good time. It is a family place so quite a few children were present.
The food was mediocre. We started with fried calamari for the table. It was very chewy and tough. We were all disappointed.
My prime rib was cooked as requested but had an odd texture though flavor was pretty good.
Overall food was fair. Finally, Gulf To Bay is a very busy street and it is difficult to get in and out of the restaurant parking area onto the street and cross lanes to get to route 19.
Overall we had fun with our friends but don't be coming back soon."

"The online reservation we made just 20 minutes earlier was honored - we were served as soon as we got there. The food was delicious - they make the best greek salad; the ribs and steak were tender. Service was quick and the personnel were friendly and accomodating. We had a great valentine's day meal."

"The waiter was great when he was there but he wasnt there enough and took a long time to get some of the courses to us on what appeared to be a slow night. However, this is my only trip there so far and the other waiters and waitresses could be great. The food was very good."
