Crickets Bar & Grill is frequently praised for its attentive and friendly service, with staff often going above and beyond to enhance the guest experience. The menu features generous portions of flavorful bar and grill staples, such as nachos, chicken wings, and chicken dippers, which are popular among patrons. Guests appreciate the clean environment and a well-stocked full liquor bar, though some mention a desire for more beer options on tap. While the food quality receives mixed feedback—with several highlighting tasty dishes and others finding it average—reasonable pricing and a welcoming atmosphere near the hotel and shopping areas make it a convenient and enjoyable spot for casual dining and late-night meals. The absence of discounts and happy hour deals is occasionally noted.

Let’s just start this off with the main bartender, Sebastian. This guy is crazy good at what he does and went above and beyond for our group, three nights in a row. Most likely one of the best hotel lounges I have ever been to, clean, hot fresh food and the nachos…. Wow! Very clean and the staff kept our table nicely and refills coming. Highly, highly recommend Cricket’s to everyone.

I like this bar/restaurant in the hotel complex. They serve generous portions of tasty food at reasonable prices (my favourites the nachos, and chicken dippers). And some nice beers (the IPA I particularly enjoy. It is well worth a go if you are staying in the hotel or shopping in the Florida Mall. :)

Quick & friendly staff. Lack luster food. Typical hotel pricing. No Happy Hour or conference attendees discounts. Full liquor bar with a few, nice surprise items. Sports on tv plus pop music on the speakers.
