I would rate them as a fair steak house with adequate service and a somewhat unique atmosphere. My biggest problem with Manny’s is service following a visit. I forget my credit card upon leaving. I was next in the Pan Handle area of FL and was not able to go back to get it. I desperately wanted to get that particular credit card back as I have many things automatically charged to that card number and did not want to get a new card. I called and talked to a guy who indicated he was Manny’s son and who told me he was too busy to be bothered with mailing forgotten credit cards back to patrons. His attitude was tough luck for you.

I have taken over 20 different people there and they all agree it's among the best meals they've ever had. <br /><br />There is usually a long wait (especially on Wednesdays, buy one get one free fajitas), but if you do the call ahead seating you won't wait longer than 30 minutes.<br /><br />When people get into how much servers make and what happened in 2005 that just sounds like a disgruntled worker or possibly competitor. <br /><br />Do yourself a favor and take the trip, you'll thank me later.<br /><br />P.S. Best ribs I've ever had, and the Ribeye is incredible.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25335688.post-25865210573717924572009-03-05T19:42:00.000-05:002009-03-05T19:42:00.000-05:00We have visited Manny's several times on several v...We have visited Manny's several times on several vacations over several years.<BR/>Our meals have always been fantastic.<BR/><BR/>The service has been great...yes we have had to wait but the place has been packed, but we do tend to go for happy hour so we expect to wait.<BR/><BR/>We can't wait to return to Florida to go to Manny's for our next meal!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09331424080211483934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25335688.post-72120119487128749632009-01-13T21:34:00.000-05:002009-01-13T21:34:00.000-05:00I have been a regular of this restaurant for 2yrs ...I have been a regular of this restaurant for 2yrs now and even though the food is good, the service is terrible. If you want to wait 1-2hrs to be seated and then be treated like garbage, by the owners, then this is the restaurant for you. The last time I went there, I was so shocked at how the owner yelled at me in front of all the other customers, as well as the guests we decided to bring the restaurant for the first time, that I am amazed people still go there. I was told to wait 1hr, however ended up patiently waiting for almost 2hrs. When we got seated our table wasn't even ready, we didn't have chairs for everyone to seat, and when I approached the owner/hostess the madness started. I am strong believer that customer service out-weights everything else but they have no sense of this at all. What a shame that for something so little, I was treated so bad. Being a regular at this restaurant is a shame to see how they really don't care about their clients. It won't surprise me to see them going out of business if they continue treating people like this. If you still decide to visit this restaurant then Good Luck but remember... I told you so!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25335688.post-12118777986272964292008-07-12T01:54:00.000-04:002008-07-12T01:54:00.000-04:00I am a server at Manny's I have worked there for a...I am a server at Manny's I have worked there for almost 4 years. I have never had a problem getting paid and I have never heard Manny's wife Angie accuse anyone of stealing. If our place is so dirty why does the health inspector who inspects are restaurant come there and eat? If it was that bad I would think he would eat elsewhere no matter how good the food was. Health inspections are public information anyone can look it up and see what we have ever been cited on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25335688.post-90056294274136407492008-04-22T20:47:00.000-04:002008-04-22T20:47:00.000-04:00Mannys does have good food; however excessive call...Mannys does have good food; however excessive calls have been made to health department about the excessive health violations. Manny also doesn't treat his servers well and hates to pay them the $3.15 and hour that they deserve. Also, Manny wife Angie likes to accuse staff of theft etc. Bartender Mike was arrested in 2005 for selling liquor to minors. I choose not to go to Mannys due to the place being so dirty and the way his family treats staff.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
