“A locally run business that must always be good, because people steadily came in for take out and dine in while we were there. Recommend getting off the main highway to try them out.”

“I have never enjoyed ribs until we discovered Smokems. Now I can’t get enough of them. These are best dry ribs anywhere, and I’m so grateful they’re conveniently located on my way home from work. 🤗 I make a meal of the ribs. Literally, no side dishes, no bread, nothing else.”

“Went through the drive-thru today and ordered my usual chicken nugget meal, and the manager surprised me by throwing in a Chicken & Waffle Sandwich. Y’all… 🤤 LET ME JUST SAY… it is SO GOOD! I honestly wouldn’t have thought to order it myself, but now I’m hooked! 😂
I’ll definitely be ordering one next time! Thank you for the awesome surprise and for always taking care of your customers! ❤🐔”
“Came here to eat for the first time after my family has been recommending them to me for years! We were a little late because the time online says they close at 10 but they actually close at 9. They explained that they were unable to go online and change it but they were very nice about us being there and still served us with kindness, accuracy and great hospitality! The food was hands down the best I’ve had at any local fish place. My husband and I had the 3 pc while catfish. My husbands was a Togo order and even after home waiting to eat his until midnight his was still delicious. My husband said whoever they have there cooking the fish knew what they are doing because the fish literally just falls off the bone. They give u plenty of slaw which is also the best slaw and hush puppies I’ve ever had. This will be my new regular place to eat fish and I can’t wait to try their other meals! Our server Hannah was so very kind to us. We felt so bad about being so close to closing time but she made us feel very welcomed and comfortable! Thanks you guys! We will be forever customers for sure!”

“The food was good, the chicken was small like I like it (I hate bionic wings), I wish I would have gotten the extra hot bc my hot wings were mild to me. Also the fries were overcooked. But, I didn't come here to say that, I came to rate the customer service, which was a 10 out of 10. The young lady greeted every person that walked through the door, even when she was busy. There was a rude dasher that came in and thought he could jump to the front of the line, nope! She didn't miss a beat and took everyone in the order they came in. She also replace my flat soda, which most places are apprehensive of replacing after you have drunk out of it. Lastly, that off putting smell as you walk in needs to be handled, all I want to smell when I walk in to a wing place are wings!”
“Absolutely amazing food! I ordered the sesame chicken, lo mein, sweet and sour pork, and wings, and every single item was delicious. The sesame chicken was perfectly crispy with just the right amount of sauce, the lo mein was flavorful and cooked perfectly, and the sweet and sour pork was tender with a great balance of sweetness and tanginess.
But the real star of the meal was the wings—they are absolutely to die for! Crispy, juicy, and packed with flavor. Some of the best wings I’ve had anywhere.
The portions were generous, everything arrived fresh and hot, and the quality was outstanding. I’ll definitely be ordering again and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great Chinese food!”

“The Shomburg rd location is fantastic. Wide variety on the menu, great food and [to my great surprise] incredible wings! Yall......don't sleep on their wings they are some of the best in town in my opinion. Highly recommend.”

“Can't explain; other than I've been eating here for over 40 years. My Dad loves hole in the wall hot dog joints. Must've rubbed off. I get 2 whole chili dogs and tots; all the way. Not sure why you can get either whole or half hot dog; I've never asked. I did splurge last visit and got the scramble dog. I think everyone should try the scramble dog at every place that they have them in search of the best scramble dog. Hidden Grill has pretty good scramble dogs. They have great slaw. Do not skip the slaw.”
“We stopped by traveling and this was amazing. Very authentic and original barbeque and we know barbeque. First this place is the real deal, with the smokers going outback. The portions are huge, but the flavor is out of this world. Not a copy cat taste. This is genuine and somebody here really knows how to cook! My only complaint is there isnt one in my hometown. We had pork, collard greens, Mac and cheese pound cake. Everything was amazing. Picture was after I had already ate half my pork 😄😍😋”
“I miss Chicken Comers in Columbus GA. Now I need to come here , although it will be a ride for me but Chicken Comers has the best hot bbq sauce ever. My mouth is watering right now wanting some. I have to drive from Warm Springs GA to be able to get it. Y'all better not close down in me no time soon. Ain't no places around that has that true mustard bbq sauce like I love. We use to be able to buy the Foyes bbq sauce and now we can't find anything like it except for Chicken Comers.”
“There food was bland no taste at all....didn't get the chalupa that was suppose to come on my order...”
“We ate there today and the food was awesome. No complaints on anything we had. Best tenderloin I have ever had, my husband had shrimp and said it was great. My sister had the chicken salad sliders and they were piled high. Took banana pudding home and it was very good also. Highly recommend eating here.”
“A walked in and was seated right away I had to wait about 15 minutes on my food which is just fine since we was cooking chicken and it was fresh and it was good and it's got a big huge window you can just sit and watch all the traffic though up to 85 pass
Parking: Is located right on the corner so you can get out of the parking lot multiple ways go right or left on 80 or cut through and come by the old k mart”
“Great laid back atmosphere. After a hard day of work I enjoyed relaxing with my book eating amazing food. My favorite is the Cuban sandwich with German potatoes. I even went back to try a new item on the menu a stuffed pizza. Both were delicious. The staff working was very friendly.”
“Food is consistently good, prices are fair and employees are always nice”

“You had definitely better be ready for an establishment or they smoke heavily. Other than that, this place was great. The food was really good, and I guarantee you there. Cooking later than anybody else in town. Beer was cold bartender was cool!
And I have to say, these were the best buffalo wings I've had in a while. I got the medium. Because let me tell you people, Buffalo wings have two ingredients. It's hot sauce and butter. I don't know why all these places, put sugar and all sorts of other junk in there, it's butter and hot sauce.
Hideaway is doing it right, their wings were perfect!”
“Food is really good best around here. All the other Mexican restaurants in Phenix city including Columbus all feel the same when it comes to food. This place stands out as authentic and delicious everytime.
Only complaint is their menu can be more simplistic and an English copy could help be understood more for non Spanish speakers”
“Best little dive bar in Ladonia!! Everyone is welcome. 19 to enter and 21 to drink, MUST have ID!! Great food options. Sunshine & Donna behind the bar serving drinks!!”
“I stopped by Sunday on Father’s Day . The food was great. The young lady Key was so helpful and friendly”

“We went to Arby’s on 280 tonight and had the best experience ever. Cornelius took my order which was a bit complicated- everything was delivered fast and correct. This is an experience you don’t normally get at a fast food restaurant. Thanks for the amazing service!!! The store was exceptionally clean and well maintained as well”
“Traci and Jo were absolutely amazing! They provided such friendly, welcoming service and made my experience at Jersey Mike’s a great one. You can tell they genuinely care about the customers and take pride in what they do. The service was fast, professional, and the whole atmosphere was pleasant.
Thank you, Traci and Jo, for making my visit so enjoyable! Y’all definitely deserve recognition. 💕”

“An awesome place. I go everyday sometimes twice. The girls are always on it and pleasant. love my teas.”
“My husband and I went through the drive through. Service was friendly and quick. Food was exceptionally tasteful. Delicious salad. Way better than any other drive through salad I’ve ever had. Golden crispy fried onions were the icing on top of the cake, just in this circumstance, SALAD! French fries better than McDonald’s on the low scale and Red Robbin’s on the higher scale. 10/10.”

“When we arrived at Applebees our door was opened by Nila and she greeted us with the utmost sweetest smile she was great it’s refreshing to see that there are great people out there serving the public Nila is a rare one for these days her smile and welcoming warmth was off the chain Thank you sweet Nila and God Bless you , 🥰🙏”

“We visited Crawford Deli for the first time today. We had the lunch special. It was Meatloaf and 2 sides or 3 sides. We chose 2 sides. My husband had fried okra and Mac and cheese. I had cabbage and green beans. It was all fresh and. Very tasty. Destiny. The owner and cook. Wasn't happy with the Meatloaf because it fell apart. It was very moist and tasty. She had a sauce on it I have never had on Meatloaf. It was delicious. The service was good. I highly recommend the Deli! We will be returning!”
“I went to Popeye's on Hwy 80 on Monday. I ordered a leg, wing, and wanted some macaroni. I was told very sternly that I can't just order that and that it would need to be a meal which would have a biscuit. I asked could we leave the biscuit off and was told that it was free, but that it would could with my food. No problem! I got to the window and I slipped up and asked for a cup of water, offering to pay if there was a charge, and you would have thought that I cursed or something. The young lady rolled her eyes so hard that they could have fallen out of her head. She proceeded to give me the water, but with no receipt after I paid for my order. Rude doesn't really sum up the attitudes of some of these people. I truly believe that when it starts coming down to customer service alone, as to whether businesses get customers... this Popeyes will be out of business. This young lady REALLY needs to get it together. Despite this, my food hot, order correct, and the young lady did give me napkins and needed condiments, so it wasn't all bad!”

“we visited the McDonald's this morning at 9.30 am. went inside for breakfast.. no one had cleaned the restaurant since last night. there was not one clean table and there was food, French fries and nuggets, all over the floor especially under the tables. the floor was so dirty and greasy you had to watch your step when walking. I will never go back. if your employee can walk around talking on her personal phone some one could at least cleaned. no I did not go in the bathroom .... no telling what that look like. this is the McDonald's on 280 next to the wiggly wiggly phenix city al”

“Edited June 22nd (1:30am) - So finally got to try out this Sonic 'after hours' lol.
While the greeting we received when ordering wasn't nice or 'customer service friendly' the food was still good.
I ordered the chicken tenders, fries and another coffee this time without sweet cream and my husband got the double smasher. All delicious. My hubby says the fries needed seasoning but I thought they were great.
My daughter and her man orders separately and one item she order, the pizza bites?, was not in stock and they were told AFTER they ordered but Sonic replaced it with her second choice and adjusted the price before they paid. Their food came out good as well and cooked properly.
My daughter did have some confusion with the person taking the order and her man, they forget a drink due to the rudeness of the worker and her 'asking' them to repeat their order a few times, but the one who served them brought the drink to my daughter no worries. Think that nice woman knew the one who took the orders had an attitude on her.
Could have been her off night, could have been tired, whatever is was it's her job and should be done with a bit more kindness especially to people who haven't been rude to them. But I digress, the main focus is food and payment for nighttime which passed with flying colors for a Saturday night trip at 1am!
Edited June 1st - Once again an amazing place. My daughter ordered with the online app at 215pm and when we got there about 230 her food was ready, correct, and hot!
I ordered a cold brew coffee here and they got the flavoring right and even added the sweet cream I asked for.
Most of my interactions have been with them between 12-3 and they are 5Stars... haven't been here after 5pm in years, might be where all those bad reviews are coming from, might check it out for dinner one night and let you know.
For now though, still 10/10 will always recommend!
(Original review) Been here countless times and they are always super helpful and nice and the food/drinks are always on point.
First place we got a proper unicorn slush and straw.
Going to be my go to spot from now on.”
“The food is usually good, but is inconsistent and it's getting more expensive. Sometimes the burgers are dry, the fried chicken in the breakfast sandwiches are rubbery and gross with somethingslimey in the middle (that happens so often I no longer order it). I do like some of the meal deals or specials they run. The coffee options are good.”

“I always have such a positive experience at this Wendy’s, and a huge reason for that is the manager. She is consistently kind, respectful, and genuinely caring toward both customers and employees. You can tell she works hard to create a welcoming, positive environment where everyone feels valued.
Her strong management is also reflected in the rest of the staff, because the other employees are always friendly, helpful, and pleasant as well. A great team usually starts with great leadership, and Wendy’s truly lucked out by having her as a manager. She deserves recognition for the positive environment she creates and the way she represents the company.”
“I went in with a special order and Kevin exceeded my expectations. Not only was my hamburger size Big Mac delicious, I was impressed with how Kevin listened to me and met my needs. He was also doing a wonderful job training someone. All the food was served hot and the fries were great. I highly recommend this location.”
“So check your bag. I ordered just 2 steak dippers totally more than $13. I did not order any sauce but there was two huge handfuls of Fire sauce in the bag for two items which struck me as suspicious. So I looked and felt around the bag to see if my 2 items were there and it was only one… I had to go in and ask for a manager. If someone does not ask for sauce please don’t give two man size handfuls because it is hard to find the two items I ordered
Which it felt like someone was hiding a sneaky detail.
Manager was nice and fixed the situation. Thank you.”

“This place is great for chicken wings at a reasonable price compared to all the over priced places. Yes, they are small but always sauced and cooked perfectly at a price that others don't touch. I'm not from Philly but this place has good Philly cheesesteak and I've had them around NJ area that were the best. So with that said, AJs has a damn good Philly cheesesteak for this location. This place has pretty good food, I would pass on their salads but give all the other options a try but suggest wings and Philly cheesesteak, maybe a hibachi if you need a large meal. Hopefully this helps someone out.”
“I frequent this place for lunch and usually order the California roll and wontons. The friendly customer service and fresh food are always a delight, especially when I walk in the door and see Mandy’s face. I rarely have to wait more than 5 minutes for my order. Highly recommend this place!”
“Title: A Hidden Gem!
I recently dined at El Mariachi Loco Mexican Restaurant, and it was an incredible experience! The vibrant atmosphere immediately sets the mood, and the staff were friendly and attentive. The food was authentic and bursting with flavor; the tacos were perfectly seasoned, and the enchiladas were to die for. I can't recommend the margaritas enough – they were the perfect blend of tart and sweet. Whether you're a fan of Mexican cuisine or just looking for a great meal, El Mariachi Loco is a must-visit!”
“Hands down the best star bucks around !! I love these people. Always friendly knows my order so I can save my breath on ordering. Always makes my drink perfect and if by suprise it’s wrong that always fix it. Never rude. Great costumer service. Lovely people. 10/10 would recommend !!!”
“I hate that you have to go through the drive-thru or walk up I wish it was a sit-down place inside to visit with someone as it was my first time there so that's what we expected and we're kind of disappointed with that. Yes there are other coffee places to go to that do have inside seating however this was my first time and didn't want to just get it and leave. The golden eagle was an awesome drink no doubt!! However the second time I tried it was yesterday and I didn't like it as a cold brew I got yesterday ..it didn't taste good at all as it had a weird aftertaste I didn't like kind of like burnt coffee so I end up tossing it and wish I would have gotten it the same way the first time. 😟
I did include The tick tock I made the first time I came here below.”
“Title: Always Amazing!
Every visit to Chipotle Mexican Grill is a delight! The fresh ingredients and generous portions never disappoint. I love how I can customize my order exactly to my taste, whether it’s a burrito or a salad bowl. The staff is always friendly and efficient, ensuring a quick and pleasant experience. Plus, their guacamole is simply the best! Chipotle is my favorite spot for delicious, satisfying Mexican food. Highly recommended!”
“I went to Culver's for the 1st time today with a friend. I had the Cod with fries and Coleslaw! it was very good! after finishing Seth Thomasson. brought my friend and I a sample of Custard. we were both impressed. we will be back.”
