Good food, mostly a burger and fries place but they have salads and chicken too with some vegetarian options. I recommend the blueberry bacon burger with jalapeños. You can seat yourself. Lunch hours are fine as long as it isn’t tourist season. Dinner is crazy. The beer and wine selection was on a QR code so you didn’t have to look at it and the waiter didn’t ask us if we wanted any alcohol. The alcohol selections are on a chalkboard on the wall. Overall nice quick spot to eat for lunch or dinner. If you drink soda or water they aren’t going to sneer at you lol 😆

I had to write another review about this restaurant. On our first visit, the wait person launched right into reciting all of the alcohol specials. This time our wait person didn’t do that and made our visit exceptionally pleasant. She focused on our dining experience in regard to the food. We had delicious decaf coffee with our favorite dessert, their strawberry shortcake, a nice and light finish to the meal. The decaf tasted freshly brewed, not sitting in the pot all day. Needless to say, the steaks were phenomenal! Highly recommend the 12oz strip steak.

This is our go to place for authentic Mexican food. The Chicken Tortilla Soup is the best that we have found. A plus, it is located just down the street from our church.

If you are living up here in the burbs of Philly, you're most likely all too familiar Sammy's Bullfrog Cafe for brunch, and Elevated Eats for Linner (yep, that's a lunch & dinner combo). Sammy & Kayla and crew have always absolutely nailed it with their delicious and unique foods and drinks. From delish caff and decaf coffee/tea options, to kombucha on tap. You can't go wrong. Elevated Eats does offer a BYOB option, so if you're sober like me, bringing a non alcoholic beer to pair with their amazing cauliflower bites perfectly cooked and seasoned with the best hot sauce in the galaxy (Sammy's hot sauce) is a perfect combo. So it's a perfect place for a drinker, a non drinker, and a decaf lover in general. Highly recommend.

Comments:
Navigating an all-inclusive as a sober traveler often feels like a sugar rush of virgin daiquiris. The newly reimagined Marriott Cancun has completely elevated the zero-proof game. The standout was the non-alcoholic Margarita; it had a sophisticated agave bite and fresh lime zing without the heavy syrup of standard mocktails. A major highlight was the "glassware equality"—drinks were served in the same elegant glassware as cocktails, ensuring I felt included in the vacation vibe rather than sidelined.
The resort also shines with authentic Mexican flavors. The Aguas Frescas at Casa Madre, specifically the tart hibiscus and creamy horchata, provided a refreshing cultural alternative to the bar. Whether enjoying a cucumber-mint cooler poolside or a premium espresso, I never felt I was missing out. Marriott Cancun understands that sober travel is about a premium experience that leaves you feeling "weightless" and clear for the morning sunrise.

It’s seems unusual to dine sober at an all-inclusive adults only resort, but we did and had lots of great non-alcoholic beverages to choose from like coconut water and watermelon juice. The bar had 5 mocktails, so I never felt deprived. We had a hard time asking for decaf coffee though and had to say “descafeinada” to be understood. Waiter brought us decaf coffee crystals, hot water and hot milk, and the combination was delicious! We will return!!

We had a great dinner at Grind! It's a new favorite and we'll be back. They had two mocktail selections on their cocktail menu: Just Peachy (with Rosemary sprig) and Berry Happy (with Basil). We both got Just Peachy and it was delicious and the sprig of rosemary gave it a nice kick. The menu offers to add hemp to the mocktail which I found uncomfortable as we're into a sober lifestyle, not looking to get buzzed from alcohol or anything else! Otherwise, the meal was delicious and of high quality. The decaf coffee was freshly brewed and tasty.

I had lunch with nine friends to celebrate my milestone birthday. Everyone in my party seemed really pleased, since the restaurant and decor are beautiful, and everyone was pleased with their meals. The server asked if we wanted drinks and everyone said they were fine with water. The server seemed a bit disappointed, and she didn't check in with us as much as I had expected during our visit. I mentioned my birthday, but there was no candle on my dessert when she brought it out. She was a competent server, but for a large party such as ours, I had expected a more engaging server.
They have a decent mocktail menu as below, and one decaf coffee option:

The food was delicious! They have both gourmet homemade pasta dishes, as well as the more casual pizza and wings. When we were seated, waitress asked us if we wanted anything more to drink than water. We said no, and she brought us a whole bottle of water, and later gave us a second water bottle! Yet, we were shocked that they had no decaf coffee at all. We were treated respectfully at all times, though lack of decaf left a bad impression. We enjoy decaf coffee with our dessert.

We had a very nice dinner at this restaurant. The wait staff are all seasoned professionals, who are very accommodating. Our waitress first came to our table and offered us drinks. We ordered two waters, and she was very respectful the whole meal and paid us much attention even though we weren't ordering alcoholic drinks from the bar. My elderly father has trouble deciding what to order, and the waitress was very patient with him. We ordered two decaf coffees with dessert, and we got them quickly and it was very good coffee. It was an overall great dining experience. The dining room got very full for a Thursday evening, so other people seem to agree. One thing worth mentioning, we accidentally parked our car on the bar side, and had to walk through the bar to get to the dining room, which felt a bit uncomfortable. We should have parked on the other side of the building, and then we could have walked directly into the dining room. We'll do that next time!

Comments:
When the waitress first approached our table, she immediately asked us what drinks we wanted. When we ordered three waters, I saw a visible change in her demeanor. She definitely looked disappointed and then acted dismissive during the rest of the meal, only doing the minimum for us. It seemed diners at tables ordering lots of drinks received more attention. The food was acceptable, though I wouldn't eat there again.

It was great! Waitress asked us wanted drinks, and we ordered three waters. Waitress was totally respectful and didn’t push alcohol and gave good service the rest of the meal. We appreciated that we weren’t pressured to order alcohol and treated with respect.

When our waitress first approached, she offered us margaritas and another frozen drink, which felt uncomfortable to have alcohol offered first thing. We ordered three waters, and the waitress looked surprised, but then we fine and gave us friendly, attentive service for the rest of the meal. The food was great! We ordered dessert and three decaf coffees. She told us she would make us a fresh pot of decaf, which she did, and it tasted great and we appreciated her doing that for us. So despite the initial encounter, we found the service to be very friendly and accommodating. Our food arrived speedily and was great quality at a good price.

We gave our order and then proceeded to sit and wait 40 minutes for our food to arrive. I ordered a shrimp quesadilla. My husband and father ordered hot sandwiches. There was a small sign on the table saying that all meals were "made fresh" so there would be a wait.
After about 15 minutes, the waitress told us our food would arrive soon. After waiting a total of 30 minutes, we inquired with the waitress. She pointed to the small sign on the table, saying that should have "warned" us that it would be a long wait. It felt like we were being punished for not ordering rounds of beers!
After our inquiry, the cooks must have put in a rush order on our food, because it arrived piping hot! My shrimp quesadilla was terrible! The shrimp was miniscule portion, for which they charged me $4 extra and they used like a pound of cheddar cheese in making the quesadilla. This place was disrespectful to non-alcohol drinkers, and the food and service were terrible!

They always push booze on first contact, but after just ordering water, we consistently get friendly and good service.
