Visited on a Friday night during what is the busiest dinner time around and this place was almost dead. That should have been our first sign to just leave. We gave our waitress our order but she didn't elaborate on what anything came with and didn't write anything down. Dinner started off well when we were getting prompt drink refills and the soup came out fast. Then, the food took so long, we went through 3 rounds of water and soda refills before the food runner brought dinner to our table. (All we ordered was burgers) The burgers were overcooked, the french fries were so fried they were hard and dry, the pretzel bun on my burger smelled so rancid I couldn't stomach more than a few bites and my tator tots came out all crumbled up. Maybe 3 or 4 tots held their shape but the rest looked like they had been chopped up before being fried. 30 minutes passed since the food runner came to the table and we never saw our waitress again. No drink refills, never checked if our food was okay. The place has a more than unwelcoming vibe and the wait staff is inconsistent. I saw another review that stated the host couldn't stop running his fingers through his hair and I can confirm this as well. Just glad he doesn't touch food. We won't be back.

We ordered the nacho plate. It had a lot of iceburg lettuce piled on top with a small dollop of sour cream. Very little else. Nacho chips weren't exactly stale, but they had no flavor. The chicken tasted old. It was our first time there. The place had a lot of empty tables, but still we had to wait 10 minutes to be seated. that was because they said the kitchen was really busy. We ordered a couple of draft beers, which came AFTER we got the nachos. Just wouldn't recommend this place.

Service was A-1. Shoutout to Kailey for making sure she answered all our questions and kept our drinks coming. Food was delicious, drinks could be a little stronger for the price. Relaxed vibe. We look forward to attending salsa night and karaoke. Overall a pleasant dining experience.

Ordered a grey goose cosmo Arrived not cold tasting of triple sec and lemon Please always lime I a cosmo Ordered the seared tuna appetizer Ice cold so not recently seared Probably seared who knows when then put in fridge But worst was it was drowning in a sweet soy sauce and I could not even taste the tuna. Ahi tuna what a shame. Wife ordered Shepard pie Listed on menu made with prime rib,ground beef, mixed vegetables,mashed potatoes and cheese Came barely warm, no visible prime rib,we found a couple peas and 2 carrots.Tasted like it was made days ago then just almost heated up My first and last visit at Heathbrook location $50 + 10 for the server Stopped at Publix on the way home and got a sandwich Stay away Pictures are how we left of course unfinished

For a Wednesday afternoon around 2:15 PM, I would have thought The place would have been jumping with folks looking to get in out of the Summer heat. Of course, their outdoor patio area was completely empty as expected but very limited patrons inside when we arrive. Happy Hour starts at 2 pm. We were quickly greeted and seated, given a choice of a booth or table and I chose the table. Our Waiter JOELL was breaking in a new waitress with a Deer in the headlights look. As our drink orders were taken, Joell told us about the Wednesday special, shortly afterward both the new gal and our waiter returned and took our orders. We had decided on the special of the day, two fish dinners for $22. The new gal must have had a fear of the ice machine because our Iced Teas arrived with very little ice. After she returned with two serving trays with our meal on them, we requested a glass of ICE and extra napkins. Presentation is everything when serving food to a customer and the meals that arrived at our table were very appealing. The serving trays were reminiscent of when airlines presented you with a meal in coach on a tray. Our Fish was a large portion of basa ( white fish ) fried to perfection and coated in a light breading. Crispy, hot, and flaky. The Chips were served seasoned but disappointing. A hardy season steak fried would have paired better with this fish. The dish of Coleslaw was fresh out of a 5-gallon pail. Simple to serve and effective along the house version of Tartar Sauce making this menu item an excellent choice for Lunch or Dinner. Overall we were pleased and it was a pleasure to talk to Joell our waiter. IF any of the other daily specials are half as good as our fish dinners you are in for a treat. The Crazy Cucumber has been in the same location for a number of years. They have a Trivia Night, and Karaoke Night and they have been known to push the tables out of the way where we were sitting to make room for a dance floor. This establishment has something for every age group, welcomes children during the day, and had a full liquor bar. We found it very pleasurable, and cool inside. We will make it one of our regular dine-in restaurant Search online for the Crazy Cucumber to pull up their full menu ... Lunch, Dinner & Bar

OK, here goes: this use to be a great ? place but, now it is poor. Had alleged "pork medallions ." They were not medallions, they were rectangular pieces of pork that were dry and disgusting. The price $17.00 and not worth ten cents. My wife had a salad with microscopic shrimp. The shrimp was the same size as the croutons. But, the price was out of site $7.00 for six tiny shrimp and salad was $7.00. Service was ok. The chef is a cook, appropriate for maybe Darrels. This restaurant is owned by the Horse & Hound on US27 and SW 70tith Ave. Close the Cucumber it is terrible, will not be back.

Amazing place to enjoy delicious foods and heavenly drinks. Great atmosphere with friendly staff. They do have live music sometimes. My experience was exceptional. This place now one my favorites ❤️

My wife and I each had a salmon dish for lunch. I had the seared salmon salad and it was great, probably the best item I've had on any menu in the almost two years we've been here. My wife's rosemary garlic salmon was equally as delicious. These were two well thought out and executed dishes plus the service was excellent as well. We will happily return.

So glad we stopped in. We tried a variety of food, shrimp, wings, and a couple of different burgers. I don't think they have a bad plate to serve. Service was very friendly and on time. Definitely will be visiting again.

Unfortunately it wasn’t such a great experience it was my first time and I got the grilled chicken Cobb salad I was so excited the presentation of the salad was beautiful and as soon as I started eating it it tasted like fish I’m assuming the chicken was cooked near fish on the same grill perhaps not quite sure but it ruined a whole salad good thing I don’t have a fish allergy because that could’ve gone bad.
