“I was in town for Cicada research and after a long first day, Rosie's was suggested by multiple people. I had the Special and (it was steak skewers thar night) everything was prepared beautifully. The staff are amazing. By request, I returned the favor and fed them. Fried Cicadas. kitchen staff, wait staff and bartenders. all of them are skilled and have great personalities. I will go out of my way to return. Thank you on behalf of myself and the "Name That Bug!" community.”

“Went for lunch with friends. The food and price were very good but the service was 5 star. Morgan was outstanding; very (but not overly) attentive. She was very personable and professional.”

“We had an amazing meal, and amazing service from Gregory! We had the smoked ribs which were excellent, fish and chips, mushroom pasta, meatloaf, caesar salad with filet, and the short ribs. We had the calamari for an appetizer. Everything was delicious, and beautifully plated! We had the crème brulèe for dessert which was made by Daniel who made the BEST crème brulèe we have ever had from Revery, or anywhere! Gregory is the most exceptional server anywhere! He promptly checked in and explained the menu, and standout items. He is exceptionally knowledgeable about gluten and corn allergies, and was able to show me which items are safe, or could be made safe. We had an amazing time, and would recommend Revery to anyone! They also have a kids menu for the littles in your group.”

“Delicious food and great service. We will be back regularly ‼️”

“We hosted a family milestone celebratory meal for nineteen people which exceeded even all our high expectations. Between DawnMichelle Alvarez, Biaggi’s Event Coordinator, and Christy, our primary server, we received fabulous treatment throughout our evening.

“Lunch buffet was amazing! So glad that they brought it back!”

“Great experience. food was delicious and our waitress, Jolei was AWESOME.”

“This place is amazing. Best samoas I ever had and huge menu. The ambiance is good— split between evening dining and a cafe type vibe. Good for whatever you are feeling. Looking forward to going again and sampling much more of the menu. Oh, also, it is just off of Route 9 in the small strip mall across from Chucke E Cheese. Easy place to get lunch or dinner in town.”

“The food was awesome, hot & cooked perfect! The staff couldn’t have been better! My husband & I will be back!”

“I recently had the honor of dining at Red Lobster, and I must say, the experience was made exceptional by our server, Emilee. From the moment we were seated, Emilee’s warm and friendly demeanor made us feel right at home. She was incredibly attentive, ensuring that our glasses were never empty and that we had everything we needed throughout the meal.

Emilee’s knowledge of the menu was impressive, and her recommendations were spot on. She took the time to explain the dishes and even suggested a few drinks that perfectly complement our meal. Her service was prompt and efficient, yet she never made us feel rushed, allowing us to enjoy our evening at a comfortable pace.

What stood out the most was Emilee’s genuine care for our dining experience. She checked in with us regularly, always with a smile, and went above and beyond to accommodate our requests. Her professionalism and delightful personality truly enhanced our visit.

Overall, Emilee provided an outstanding level of service that made our evening memorable. I highly recommend requesting her if you dine at Red Lobster. She is a true asset to the team!!”

This place is always a good time with great staff, food, and atmosphere. Cullen keeps us coming back for his excellent cocktails!”

“Looking to replace Denny's for early morning breakfast. Another story, another time.

“Great local place to share with friends. Good food, freshly made, friendly staff.”

“After years we finally tried Annie’s and we were not disappointed. I had their smoked burger and fries they recommended the mustard sauce with it. Excellent addition and suggestion. The other food we had was the brisket plate with a corn muffin, cole slaw and potato salad. The brisket on its own was delicious so tender. The various sauces just added to the flavors of the brisket. The amount of food you get for what you pay is such a good price, definitely wont go hungry. We will definitely be back.”

“I really love the selection of beer and seltzers. Additionally, the bartender was super helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable. I love that you can go upstairs and play games or sit outside on the patio.”

“Slightly pricier than a fast food place, but you get twice as much. The parmasaun truffle fries with garlic aoli were delicious and the regular size was twice the size of others. Well done!”

“I’ve been a huge fan of Dops since it opened. Getting a weekend oxtail, plantains, Mac and cheese and a ginger beer is one of my favorites. Always friendly, always clean and fast service. The pineapple jerk chicken is great too.”

“This labyrinthian, enigmatic Culver's location is conveniently located near the Interstate and the county fairgrounds. Its bizarre, non-Euclidean layout complements their excellent food and service. After a long day at a convention, there's nothing I enjoy more than that first sip of Culver's root beer within an environment that slowly pecks away at my sanity with every breath I draw. Looking forward to my next visit!”

“I enjoyed eating the tacos and enchilada. The extra hot red sauce had me feeling good!”

“Hadn't been to Times Past Inn for some time and were pleasantly surprised to see the new brighter decor. Still progress but definitely a big change!

Breakfast was great as always. My friend had never been there before but her Mexican Omlette was beautiful and delicious! I had #6 eggs (over medium done perfectly) bacon (perfectly crisp but not burnt) and 2 big fluffy pancakes. Really hit the spot.

Our Server Terri(sp?) was great, friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and quick with the coffee refills!

Owner Matthew stopped by to check on us and advised the improvements yet to come. Very nice!

Times Past has it all great food, atmosphere and friendly service. I think this going to a new/old regular place for us!”

“This place is absolutely amazing.

Love the food and people that work here.

“I have nothing but great things to say about this spot.
I'll start with the owners. They are both EXTREMELY nice and always have a smile on their face. The customer service is fantastic and they work fast. They make this food fresh so don't complain about wait, it's worth it!

The food is fresh and delicious! Cooked to order and the terriyaki they use is addicting. The portions they give you are extremely satisfying and I tend to have leftovers (I'm not complaining lol).

Price varies for orders but we usually get the chicken teriyaki and that runs around $10.

Even though Eastland mall is a ghost town, this place keeps going and I hope they continue to stay open!”

“Had the trio for dinner and it was really good! Delicious crunchy chicken, fries & dessert! Will 💯 be back”

“Servers are rude...I told my waitress I was unhappy with the eggs because I wanted real eggs. She assured me that it was indeed real eggs. ((Look for yourself) see pic below if I can add it) then she told the other waitress who was even more rude and made sure we heard her disdain. For the situation. Very unprofessional the hashbrowns looked like filet of sole (from a shoe)...I had a spinach feta and tomato omelet with no taste the egg was so watered down it was disgusting. staff digusted among themselves my experience but only the cashier apologize for it...smh”

“I came in for the first time and got a Blackberry Biancha. I actually changed from a caramel mocha and they were soo chill about it! So nice! They told me about the app and helped set it up and give me points.”

“Took awhile for anyone to notice we were standing there waiting to be waited on. Then everything else was okay except for the young woman with her 2 children. One a toddler and the other maybe 4. She stood up front on her phone, it was on speaker blasting away. Her kids were on the table, walking around. She kept bringing them food but didn't stay at the table with them. I was hoping that the waiter would ask her to keep her eye on them but he didn't. It was not a peaceful meal. And if we would have said anything I am sure it would have been just horrible that we wanted to enjoy our meal not her phone conversation and her kids stomping on the table.”

“One of our favorite places. Go early to make sure you get a baked potato as they are popular. The ribs are my favorite.

My daughter loves the Applesauce.”

“Delicious food and great service. We will be back regularly ‼️”

“I've been a Steak 'n Shake customer for 57 years. Their decision to stop in restaurant service (waite staff) was an extreme turnoff for me. It was hit or miss whether or not the self-service order stations worked. Tables needed to be cleaned, and there was debris under tables.

I used the drive up at my last visit. The line moved at a respectful speed. My order was correct and HOT. The one drawback was the drink. There was a huge SOLID chunk of ice that filled the cup and prevented me from inserting the straw plus only about 4oz of soda.”

“Had the trio for dinner and it was really good! Delicious crunchy chicken, fries & dessert! Will 💯 be back”

“Clean atmosphere, food options were unique, prices very affordable.”
