Crispers is by far one of the best places to grab a quick but healthy bite to eat! My all time go to on the menu is the pick a pair; which I normally go with the spring salad and of course the kickin crab soup! Ohh and make sure you pick up a couple of the cookies which are 3 for a dollar! Great service, great food and all around great place to grab a light meal!

Crisper's is just a solid 3/5 rating. The food is OK but it always seems we pay way more than I think we should for this type of food. It's always clean and the staff is helpful it just isn't that great a value for a family. Update: re: the loyalty card - I've reviewed the loyalty card and it does not affect my opinion of the value Crispers provides. The restaurant would be much more attractive at a lower price point. As it stands now, we only go once or twice a year.

I am aware that this is a chain restaurant like Panera, but I was desperate to find an equal to Jason's Deli which is allllllll the way up in Temple Terrace. FML. My husband and I, surprisingly enough, had never heard of this place and we were glad to have tried it. I wouldn't mind on coming back despite the fact it's a chain (even though Jason's is, too, but they have different standards). My husband ordered a chicken caesar wrap with a side of a large loaded potato soup while I had the new creation called the Turkey Cranwich which is smoked turkey, cranberry sauce, apple slices, green onion cream cheese, Swiss cheese on brioche. However, I do not recall having the cream cheese on my sandwich, but I'm glad I didn't cause I hate cream cheese. The ingredients I just listed was copied off their site and I'm thinking that since what I had ordered was "new" and it could have been later modified to fit the demand. I know what I had ordered was really good. However, I do remember thinking that the cranberry sauce was a bit too sweet as I prefer it almost tart, not sweet as grape jelly, like you'd get at Thanksgiving. They do serve coffee which we were desperate to get ahold of as we ran out of coffee grounds at our apartment. The machine was difficult though, it's one of those things that's like pressing ketchup out of a large dispenser. Not fun. I might call this as my substitute to Jason's Deli... but I don't think it'd fully replace it. If anyone knows of an even better substitute, let me know!!!

This is my second time here. You are always served with a smile. The person that took my order at the front counter were always nice and laughed. As you sit down and wait for your food. The comes out pretty quickly and always taste great. Their cookies are amazing too, you should really try them when you go. The food seems to be very healthy and never greasy, which is a plus for me!

The service was slow today at the ordering counter due to some what busy but that is normal when it's around other shopping stores. I ordered the French Onion Soup I enjoyed it but the only thing I didn't like is the cheese but I dealt with it. I had sweet tea for my drink it was delicious! My food order took about 20 minutes to get my table the waiter who delivered my entree apologized for taking so long to get made. This Crispers has plenty of seating on the inside and outside so you can enjoy the breeze and the sun for a nice tan if you want to get one. Also this location offers free WIFI!!!

A lot of people compare this to panera, which is honesty is pretty similar except crispers menu is much bigger. I don't know if that's a good or bad thing because it takes me forever to decide what I want but at the same time I like that I have such a variety to choose from. I really like the interior of this crispers in particular, it looks recently upgraded or remodeled. The booths are very comfy and there's numerous tvs in the dining room area so you can catch something that you might be looking for. The salads and sandwiches are really good. I do find their flatbreads to be a little soggy at times because they put so many ingredients on a thin flatbread. Their sweet tea also isn't very sweet to me, but that could be different for everyone. If you're up to trying a new sandwich/salad shop, it's definitely worth it.

So much like Panera without the bakery. I usually get the Greek sale or a flatbread dish. Sooooo good. Good sized portions without being overly huge. A gelato bar or chewy yummy cookis for dessert. If you like salads, sandwiches or losses flatbreads, you'll love Crispers. Restaurant is clean and contempory. However chairs are very uncomfortable, booths are made for skinny people only and their drink bar leaves a lot to be desired. (No coke products and teas are tasteless). So stick with water and you'll be good to go!

#235 Another Yelper compared Crispers to Panera. I couldn't agree more. Same concept, same type of interior design, similiar menu items. Except for one thing, the food is better at Crispers. Wife and I lunched at the Brandon location during lunch time. Place was very busy with people on their lunch break. Based on signage on the way in, I ordered a "Special". It was roast turkey, cranberry sauce, apples and Swiss cheese on a very nice and freshly baked hoagie roll. I also ordered a cup of Crab chowder and fountain drink. Wife ordered a bowl of Cheddar Broccoli and a Greek Salad with a bottle of water. 2 "Harvest" cookies completed our order. This came go $26. The food took a little while to come out, longer than I thought it should. 1. The crab chowder although tasting crabby didn't have a hint of crab meat in it. 2. The sandwich tasted fine. I liked the turkey, it looked like real roast breast sliced. Barely any cranberry. The manger came by and asked how everything was. I am always impressed when mangers do this. I told her it was ok but not great. When she asked why I told her it didn't look like the picture that had originally enticed me. She said blah blah and that food is staged for photos. I said yes and when they come out looking nothing like the picture that is called false advertising. She took a deep breath, went and looked at the picture went back to kitchen and came back with a cup of extra cranberry sauce. I added more as she watched from behind the counter. After I had tasted my doctored sandwich she gave me a questioning thumbs up which I happily returned. I finished the sandwich which actually was very good. Wife ate her soup, better than mine but barely touched her salad. It looked overdressed to me but she said she was full. The cookie was beyond excellent, it was awesome. I would come back here just because of what that manger did to please a customer, impressive. Hopefully she took that story back to the kitchen.

Crispers has a distinct scent when u walk-in, which u either like or not, I get used to it...the staff is always friendly & everything I've had there is pretty good. I enjoy the pick two- Smoked Turkey Delight on Brioche bread mmmm yummy & a cup of loaded potato soup! perfect combo for my taste buds! My mom loves the summer salad which is also pretty tasty! They also cater for events & I've tried more salads that way & I must admit I'm not a salad lover but they make em good! Beware, the mango tea is unsweetened, so I will either mix w/ the sweetened tea or just enjoy sweet tea on it's own. I like that they bring the food out to u & clean up the table afterwards so u can just sit & enjoy ur meal...if ur not big on soup, salad, or sandwiches then this ain't for u! If u are, it's worth a try or to cater an event/luncheon!

I want to not like this place as much as I do and be a good little food snob, but I just can't help it. ;) not a huge fan of sandwiches and soup but I do really love the salads and flatbread. The pick two gives you a lot of food. The Greek and summer salads are the best. Their dressings are pretty good too. It's fast, close to work and they have yet to get my order wrong. I'll take it!

Always a safe bet. Last time I got the thai chicken flat bread which is DELICIOUS and a side Greek salad. The salad was nothing to write home about but I would go back for the flat bread any day.

There was a time when I loved Chrispers. Hadn't been by in years but stopped in today for a quick sandwich. I chose the chicken pecan salad on multi grain bread and paid extra for the steamed veggies as the side. Almost $10 for not much food. The bread was tasty but that's what the bulk of the sandwich was; bread. There were maybe ten cubes of chicken, a tad of celery and a tiny piece of pecan, two slices of tomato and two pieces of lettuce. That was it. The steamed veggies I paid extra for consisted of 4 small pieces of broccoli, 3 tiny carrots and a few pieces of chopped red pepper. Tasty, but not worth the up charge.

First time at Crispers and was disappointed. I ordered the Caribbean salad and paid the extra for chicken on top, as I needed the protein. My disappointment was that I could only find a couple of cubes of chicken in the salad. I will stick with The Wings House as you get a good salad for your money and don't feel ripped off. Also what chicken that was in the salad looked and tasted like it was made in a factory.

The Thai chicken flatbread is totally my jam. With the teeny tiniest bit of the Asian aioli, it was mind blowing. Maybe I was super hungry, but I can't wait to return to try it out again. I also appreciate the unsweetened flavored teas and the various types of seating.

I've come to Crispers on occassion for lunch since I work closeby. Food: I do like the selection of healtier eats including a variety of salads and sandwiches. My favorite: The Spring Flatbread or the Greek salad. Staff: I've had only friendly interactions when I've come here. I've had others tell me they hadn't had the best experience. Plus: they now offer beer and wine - and gelato to boot!

Last night I enjoyed my usual meal from Crispers, half a Caribbean Flatbread and Caesar Salad, it was great as usual, as well as the Customer Service. I'm never disappointed when I dine at any Crispers. Thanks for the great dinner it was fresh and delicious.

Decent food, reasonable prices, a good selection, and it's one of the few healthy(ish) options here in Brandon. They take-out counter is great and they usually have my order ready faster than they say over the phone. NOTE: They advertise delivery but the delivery option is for lunch, over a set amount ($50 I think), so it's more for catering office lunches as opposed to home delivery. I only take a star off because it seems like they are slow to clear the tables inside the restaurant and it usually seems... not dirty gross, just... unkempt?

I guess it depends what you get. I got the cup of soup with a half chicken salad sandwich that was served on a hard roll with about a spoonful of chicken salad. Tasted good but was not a sandwich at all. Menu said sandwich bread so I didn't expect a baguette style roll. Got it as takeout so I was disappointed when I got home. Guess I'll try someone else next time and get my money's worth.

Throughout the years crispers has gotten worse and worse and worse. I went for lunch an ordered the Greek salad along with chicken pecan salad sandwich The salad and sandwich had no taste and whatever was on there did not taste fresh. The person serving the food was attentive but there was not much he could do about the food. I asked to speak to the manager and the manager never showed up

Crispers vet here. I have a family of 4 and with the club membership we all eat for about 28 bucks. This is what I spend at fast food joints for the same group of folks. For us it's what we eat when we need a quick bite. Reuben is decent but my fav sandwich is the French dip with the seasonal salad that has strawberries and pecans. Mmmm mmmm will make you slap your mama.

As a newbie, the cashier was patient and explained things to me. The workers were pleasant and seem to be happy to be at work. I ordered a Caesar salad with no meat -- the Romain lettuce but they some what skimmed on the dressing. They have a selection of Italian ice cream, cookies, and brownies; I didn't try it - maybe next time. This location also had a nice patio for outside dining.

The crab chowder is out of this world, slap your mama good! It's perfectly spiced with a rich buttery flavor. I try and have some class and not scrap the bowl for the last drop but it's really hard to resist. I can't vouch for other food items but the atmosphere is relatively quite. I studied here twice for a big test with little disturbance. All I want for Christmas is a gallon of chowder and I'm happy happy happy!
