Nothing distinctively different like "flakey" with today's 1/2 pound catfish nuggets Heavily battered and mushy nuggets; like fish bathed in room temperature water for days. 2nd best would be overrating today's meal. 06.05.26”

“We had a delicious dinner last week and our server, Cayden, was excellent!”
“Very welcome and the staff was excellent”
“Walking in you smelled the aroma, met with a smile and service to cater to your ever need. The BBQ, and Soul Food Cuisine choices were all we ‘d hoped they would be. Tender Turkey wings served over rice did not disappoint. The tenderness of the ribs/ brisket could be chewed by even the tenderness of one’s mouth. The potato salad was a perfect side that reminded me of a cookout on a summer day in July. Being able to interact with the staff, hear their passion on southern cooking and how life has treated them- is an example of what’s missing in our society- REAL CONVERSATION/CONNECTIONS. Many people came in, from different walks of life; yet they all yearned for good southern soul food. This is a great place to order, pull up a seat and feel at home.”

Ohio Brew Week returns for its 21st year, transforming the city of Athens into the center of the state's craft beer scene. Running from July 10 through July 18, 2026, this nine-day event remains one of the few beer festivals in the country that stretches across an entire city rather than a single venue or fairground. There are no wristbands or main entrances. Hundreds of beers from dozens of Ohio breweries take over local bars, restaurants, and community spaces downtown.
The city’s biggest food festival is back. For its 46th season, Taste of Chicago returns to Grant Park. The basics haven’t changed: admission is free, and you pay only for the food and drinks you want. This year, the festival runs from Wednesday, July 8, through Sunday, July 12, 2026. Here is everything you need to know to plan your visit.
If you've ever wanted to experience the elegance of French dining without boarding a plane to Paris, this summer is your chance. French Restaurant Week® 2026 returns from July 4 to July 19, bringing exclusive prix-fixe menus to some of the best French restaurants across New York City, Chicago, Washington D.C., and Miami. Now in its fifteenth year, this beloved culinary event was founded in 2011 and has grown into one of America's most anticipated food weeks - with over 210 participating restaurants logged across its history. This year's edition carries special meaning: it celebrates the 250th anniversary of French–American friendship, making every dinner reservation feel a little more historic.
Miami's restaurant market rarely slows down, but the first half of 2026 has been unusually active. Outside operators are arriving with established names, while local groups are testing new formats far from their origins. Nine addresses opened between February and May. Here is what came in.
The Utah company that calls itself the home of the original dirty soda has signed three franchise deals in recent months, lining up dozens of new stores across Texas, Colorado, and Florida. Dirty soda is the drink behind the boom. Take a fountain soda, then add cream, flavored syrups, or bits of fruit, and you get a customized cup that fans treat as a daily pick-me-up. Swig started selling them in St. George, Utah, in 2010 and now runs more than 150 stores in 16 states.
Running a successful restaurant is about much more than serving great food. Today’s guests notice every detail, from interior design to how information is presented at the table. Effective table marketing can encourage additional purchases, improve customer engagement, and strengthen your brand identity without requiring a large investment. Here are seven practical ways to increase restaurant revenue through smarter table marketing.
Americans are drinking less alcohol, and fast-food chains have spotted a chance to fill the gap. They are courting young customers with frozen coffees and energy drinks that buyers can customize down to the flavor shot. Taco Bell has pushed harder than most, opening more than 30 Live Más Cafés inside its existing restaurants, where workers it calls "Bellristas" serve creamy chillers, fruity refreshers, and seasonal drinks alongside the usual menu. A diner can wash down a Triple Double Crunchwrap with a Pineapple Lime Rockstar Energy Refresca and its 200 milligrams of caffeine, roughly twice a regular coffee. Early results have already justified the expansion. After Taco Bell debuted Live Más Café outside San Diego in late 2024, that location saw a 40% sales lift, and the chain now plans a systemwide rollout as it chases $5 billion in beverage sales by 2030.
Dunkin' is heading back to Canada, eight years after it gave up on a market it couldn't crack. The coffee chain, owned by Atlanta-based Inspire Brands, said it has signed a deal with Foodtastic to open "hundreds" of locations across the country. Foodtastic, which owns Freshii and runs 27 brands and more than 1,200 locations in Canada, already operates Inspire's Jimmy John's sandwich shops there. Both sides pointed to that track record.
Calgary doesn't do things halfway. Not with its beef, not with its winters, and definitely not with its burgers. This is cattle country - a city where people take patty composition personally, where the debate between smash and thick-cut can outlast a hockey game, and where a single "special sauce" recipe has been guarded since 1962. This isn't a list of the best burger restaurants in Calgary. It's a list of the best burgers - the actual sandwich, bite by bite. We ranked based on flavor, texture, composition, and the one metric that never lies: the silence that falls over the table after the first bite. From a drive-thru institution that's been slinging burgers since JFK was president, to a wood-paneled smash spot that opened in 2023 and is already being called the best in Canada - here are the ten burgers worth crossing the city for.
Three of the biggest names in fast food are betting on pop culture to drive traffic this spring and summer, lining up menu collaborations with One Piece, Star Wars and Toy Story 5.
