“The food was delicious and Jacob, our server, was awesome .“

“We ate here for Mother’s Day tonight and it was great! I had the CFS, husband had the wings , daughter had the burger and her boyfriend had the meatloaf. Everything was great! My husband , who didn’t think he’d like the sauce on the wings, was in love at first bite! Service was great and I can’t wait to come back and try the hotcakes and tenders!“

“We love this place Best Burgers in plano family owned great service“

“I went with friends on a Saturday for lunch. It wasn’t crowded. The waiter must have forgotten about us because it took a very long time to put our order in. We were there for 2 hours for a flatbread and some salads.Parking: You can valet in the front. There is also free garage parking, but it’s a bit of a walk.“

“I am traveling on business and had the good fortune to dine at Bavette Grill last night. The experience was basically perfect from start to finish, and I will certainly be back! The service was absolutely outstanding, and frankly set the tone for everything that followed. I arrived perhaps only 15 minutes before closing time, and asked somewhat sheepishly whether the kitchen was still open. The hostess could not have been kinder or more welcoming as she answered in the affirmative and showed me to a booth. The busboy, who was super friendly and helpful, asked whether I wanted water, and he then brought it quickly. The atmosphere in the restaurant was lovely. The decor is tasteful and understated, the ceilings are high, and the dining area is spacious. The music was a mix of jazz and vocal covers of some of my favorite songs, including Clocks and Wicked Game. The volume was just right, too; audible and enjoyable, but not loud. My waiter for the evening was Kenneth F, and he provided outstanding service throughout the meal. He was friendly, professional, and courteous, and his service was attentive without being remotely intrusive. I did not feel rushed in the least, despite the late hour. It was he who recommended the French Dip Au Jus when I asked about a couple of alternatives, and it was absolutely delicious, fresh, and cooked perfectly. I enjoyed the fries as well, and one of the other servers (he could have been a food runner) mentioned that they make their own ketchup. After I finished my entrée, Kenneth asked if I would like dessert, and then walked me through the choices. The chocolate cheesecake was simply amazing, and I can recommend it heartily. As I was leaving, I spoke briefly with the manager, to compliment Kenneth, and also to rave about the positivity and professionalism of the other staff who I had encountered that evening. When I was younger, I worked in restaurants as a busboy, dishwasher, pizza chef, and waiter, and I know excellent service when I see it. These employees seemed genuinely happy to be there, and they were engaged and attentive. The manager was grateful for the feedback, and he confirmed to me that what I described was the culture that they seek to foster at the restaurant. It shows!“

“Great place to celebrate with friends! Staff was overwhelmed with big crowd last night but the food was hot and delicious!!“

“Had a wonderful lunch with 2 of my (adult) kiddos. We chose outside and it was a beautiful sunny day. The patio area is so spacious and nice. I ordered the fish tacos. They were amazing. We had 2 apps that were cooked perfectly and fresh. Madison was our Twin Peaks girl. She was training another young lady. Madison is beautiful, friendly and provided wonderful service. The lady in training was great but didn't get her name. I reccomend stopping by. Twin Peaks is much more than just great views. The food is actually really good and the restaurant is clean.“

“The food was served in big portions but it was delicious and the customer service is was amazing. Our server was extremely attentive.“

“Fantastic food and atmosphere. A great place for lunch or dinner. The goat cheese fondue and the chicken cheese melt sandwich are favorites!“

“Very good food and great service.“

“Located in a parking lot (adjacent to a gas station) is a completely unexpected hidden gem called Sourdough Bread Deli just waiting to be discovered. A Yelp suggestion led us here and this place definitely did not disappoint.We were greeted by Veronika, the attentive and friendly owner, with a smile upon entering and explained that it was our first visit. She gave us a little background on the business and explained that everything is baked fresh daily! You place your order (and also pay) at the front (there is a Menu on the wall) and it is brought out to you when it is ready. We ordered two Unsweetened Iced Teas, a Potato Salad, a small Reuben Sandwich (for me), and a small Roast Beef Sandwich (for Mom). Also purchased a Chocolate Chip Cookie which lent a perfect balance of brown sugar and chocolate chunks. All dishes excellent! The potato salad was a creamy and comforting classic reminiscent of childhood and truly hit the spot. The combination of potatoes, boiled eggs, savory onions, and crunchy celery provided the foundation for and an accompaniment to a delicious meal. The Sourdough was well-balanced while providing the perfect contrast, a noticeable depth of flavor, and the sauerkraut, dressing, and pastrami was the glue that held it all together. In a word? Fabulous! AND...it looked JUST LIKE the picture on the website! Solid 5 stars! I would certainly consider ordering this again on my next visit, but would try either the Chicken Parmesan or Chicken Pesto & Avocado and perhaps the Potato Leek Soup.The food here is clearly the star of the show. Ambiance is not at all the focal point. The service is attentive and it is clear that management knows what they are doing. I could definitely see this as our first choice and Sourdough go-to for subsequent visits. From the time we entered to the time we left, we witnessed Veronika and other employees/staff members hustling with rollerskates on and fulfilling online and dine-in orders. Apparently, this place gets pretty busy during the week and even more so on Saturday (they are closed on Sundays), but we arrived here around 10:30AM on a Tuesday morning and were able to find a table with no issues.“

“Josh C was a fantastic server who made great recommendations! Food great. Abogato coffee ice cream dessert is the best.“

“Love this place and the people who work here are freaking amazing I will definitely be back and bring back friends“

“Good food and wonderful, friendly service. Remy and I had a Benedict; both were delicious. #Baconberrybenedict #smokedsalmon“

“Great wait staff, friendly and super informative. Great food and reasonable prices. Great atmosphere.☺️“

“Best Catfish I’ve had in a long time. Thanks Looking forward to trying many of the items they offer.“

“So good to be back at Tommy Bahamas. As always, we greatly enjoyed the food and ambience. But having Julia as our server was the icing on the cake. She is simply the best --- intuitively knows when beverages need to be refilled, etc. Thank you, Tommy B for being our welcoming kitchen away from home.“

“A number one butcher shop, service great, keep it local.... been coming here for years.“

“Absolutely delicious. Our server was never nice and attention. The food was DELICIOUS! We got the crab dip as a table. I got the ribs, Mac and cheese, charred broccolini, and cornbread. Absolutely positively delicious. They make a mean drink too! The mocktail menu (for those of us who can’t drink) was perfect and refreshing.“

“First visit, loved the chicken, fries, and sauce. When they say Hot Chicken, they’re serious. I had the mild and found it just right for my spice liking. Give it a try!!!!! I’m glad I did!!!“

“I want to commend this Dilla's location! Until my most recent visit, my food experience has always been delicious! This visit the food was not the best prepared, but the managers worked to make certain that this was not left unresolved! I called and spoke with manager at the time who was limited in him abilities to help make this experience a better! I was given the GM name and contact, I called and left a voicemail. My call was returned within 10 mins of my message. The GM was very understanding and willing to assist with making this situation a better experience. This review is to show my satisfaction with the professionalism, courtesy, understanding and willingness to make certain the customer is satisfied, when addressing their own mistake. I want to thank them for making certain that my concerns were heard and that there was a solution to the problem. They did that! I appreciate that! And, I am happy to say that I will continue to eat at Dilla's because they have some of the best food around, AND they value their customers enough to make their mistakes right! Thank you for that, Dilla's is the bomb-digity!!!Parking: parking is not an issue. there is plenty of space“

“great paddy cakez and they offer a military discount!!“

“Best place in Plano to get a home cooked breakfast guaranteed... Love James and his staff they are the best!“

“I like that ordering ahead and entering to pick up juice and food is easy and efficient. I scheduled a time to be ready and had no issues getting in and out during lunch time. With the rewards system and days with coupons, the prices are competitive and I make sure to stop by.Vegetarian options: Salads, wraps, drinksDietary restrictions: Gluten free and vegetarian / vegan salads“

“I popped in with my kiddo for a quick bite before heading back to Denton and loved this place. It is perfect for a happy hour - with a full bar and killer cocktail options (and don't forget the popcorn chicken and cheese bites) but even a better option for a late lunch or dinner. The salads are great, the shoestring fries and onion rings are the perfect guilty pleasure. It did start getting busy around 6pm - but the place hardly missed a beat with two awesome bartenders running the show. Check it out!“

“We had a wonderful experience Tarenthia C. Was an amazing sever she fast friendly and very personable food and coffee was awesome!! 10 out of 10 for sure!!“

“Great place great service good food we’ll definitely be going back“

“This place is so good! The food was amazing and had so much flavor! The agua fresca also was amazing and you can tell was made either real pineapple not like the powder mixed! Definitely recommend going here! I found my new breakfast place to start going too!“

“Food was great too and NOT your typical bar food“

“Food choices are interesting and varied. Great service. Good ambience.They give you your own pot of coffee, which is a real plus when you need your morning fix.Some favorite dishes:- The Triathlete (healthy and tasty)- Inspired Italian omelet- Chile Chorizo omelet- Seasonal pancakes are usually surprisingly goodFair warning: there are two things that some folks like to change often.1) they have a default "artisan bread" that you may love, but some folks don't care for (usual substitutes available, though)2) on some dishes they have a vinegary serving of greens (basically a simple side salad) that some folks find odd for breakfast; I like it (and it is great for your health), but plenty of folks like to sub potatoes to align with what they are used toPro tip - the Trifecta is eggs, waffle, and choice of breakfast meat. However, you can sub seasonal pancake (like I did today) or French Toast for waffle.If you like to sub out for fruit cups, theirs has a bit more variety than most, which is nice.“

“country fried steak is good....pancakes, bacon, eggs and waffles are amazing....I would recommend this restaurant to family and friends“

“Awesome place. Great variety. Highly recommend“

“Great food and cocktails! Amazing service! We all absolutely loved Gabe, pretty indulgent guy for an old timers’ group!“

“We love to visit McNeal’s whenever we get a date night away, but we’ve also gone multiple times with our kiddos and they love it as well. Whenever Hubby wants to grab a drink with a friend or colleague, this is their go-to spot! Cannot recommend this place enough, great owners and of course food and drink is on point. I often crave items from their menu: I LOVE their food!“

“Such a warm atmosphere! You are instantly welcomed and pleasantly surprised with the speed of service! Amazing food and exactly what we were looking for from a hearty home- cooked style breakfast!“

“the staff member Logan was very attentive to us and his service was so good we hadn't leave a review!“

“The steak was amazing. I have tried both the A9 Wagyu and the regular steak, both are excellent. The ribs were also very juicy, and Are seasoned well. The brisket is extremely tender and holds up on its own weight, but tears as soon as you bite into it. The halal certification makes it the best choice to go to as well.The only things I didn’t like was the cheesesteak wasn’t what I was expecting. It is still a great sandwich(7.5/10), but not quite what I’d expect from a cheesesteak. The brisket burger and the other burgers are phenomenal.Dietary restrictions: HMS Halal Certified (Hand Slaughtered Halal)“

“Really solid pub food. Decent beer selection. Never a bad time.“

“Love the outdoor/indoor spaces! I ordered the Gosh Jam It because I love goat cheese on a burger. The burger wasn’t bad but it just didn’t have as much flavor as it should have. The fries were great and I love the endless servings of marinated pickles! Will go back to try other burgers.“

“They were very slow when we were there. The food was good, the servers and staff were friendly. Its biggest downfall is location. You have to drive past quite a few other restaurants and bars to get to the back of the shopping center to find them. Which is probably hurting business but definitely worth the trip.“

“Mariposa has not lost its touch. After many years in operation, it is still a wonderful and inviting place for lunch. I had not been there for some time.We were glad to see that the setting is still beautiful and inviting and we also enjoyed the traditional and complimentary chicken broth served in a demi-tasse along with their famous brioche popover bread served with strawberry butter. The fish tacos were a hit along with other items on the menu. The food remains delicious and service excellent,“

“Attentive server, she brought another cup of strawberry lemonade when the 1st one was at the middle. Food is delicious but a bit of salted. My coworker ordered ribeye, medium well, and it was delicious when she shared me for one bite. I would definitely be back for ribeye. I would say the restaurant is quite empty during lunch time on Thursday.“

“Feel good food and amazing beer menu!“

“Great food, great atmosphere! I've been coming to Cafe Gecko since they opened their doors in Austin Ranch! They have always remained to be that neighborhood go to place! Plenty of TV's to watch any sports channel you like! Play some pool while you're waiting for your delicious, made to order, food arrives. I can't say enough great things about this place! I'm a lifetime customer.Kid-friendliness: Before 9pm I've taken my kiddo here since birth, he is 10 next week! His favorite place to eat!Wheelchair accessibility: They have tables that accommodate my Aunt, whom I bring often, that is in a wheelchair. Easley accessible inside and handicap ♿️ parking is convenient.“

“Very good coffee and the restroom was very clean“

“Amazing place to visit after a long day at work. Came to the Plano area on a business trip and had to check out the downtown area. This is the place the locals recommended to me, and I'm glad I listened. For a bar, the food was unexpectedly decent, and the best part was the good service, not having to wait long at all.“

“Spacious Strip Mall Bar!Easy to find with plenty of parking. Lots of TV's to catch sporting and other events.Loaded baked potato is a great food choice if you like piling on meats and such.Looks like bands or DJ's have a stage. Also, recreational poker games are held here on certain days of the week.Fun place!“

“We were greeted with a great family smile from Carmen, our hostess, and, promptly seated. Our waitress Rehema, she was outstanding with her friendly service, wonderful smile, and exceptional on point, delivery with drinks, appetizers, and food service.It was great to meet Reggie the manager, I wanted to make sure to compliment him and their team for wonderful friendly and great service.“
