“Friendly, fast service. Great pecan waffles and crispy hash browns .“

“My husband and enjoyed a great meal tonight for our 22nd wedding anniversary! Noah our server was great and the food was excellent.“

“Great food and atmosphere!“

“It was great while it lasted. My favorite hamburger joint has now fallen. No one bringing fries until you make a point to ask for them, the person doing the register also is the French Fry person. It was crowded, so some people may not get fries at all before their burger gets to the table, because the fry person is taking orders.. No one was at the register to take our order for almost 5 minutes, she was busy getting ice cream for people. And SO loud in there, need sound deadeners on the walls. But the food is still great and the workers are still friendly.“

“Today we decided to stop and try this Waffle House. The best decision ever... Mon was an excellent Server . He was friendly and fast. The cook made my Eggs perfectly (which rarely happens for me). The bacon was cooked great, the chili was fresh on my hashbrowns. The sweet tea was fresh and perfect. Overall the best experience I have had at a Waffle House in a very long time. We will definitely be back, even though it will be a 20 minute drive for us it will be worth it.“

“We had such a great time here tonight with a group of friends. Great game and food selection, with super friendly service. One of the workers even took the time to teach us a new game, and we ended up loving it. We will totally be back!“

“Fantastic food. Farm to table restaurant. Friendly folks.“

“Justin mixed us up some wonderful cocktails, very friendly. The fondue, salad and flatbread were all delicious.“

“This is one my favorite places to dine. SAS thanks for taking care of us tonight you were awesome and our other was pleased 1❤️“

“Nice people and great food!“

“This is a clean place to eat. The food is delicious; the salads are crisp and fresh. They have a varied menu from vegan to pizza to hamburgers. Sandwiches taste like mother made them in from the kitchen from homemade chicken salad to turkey and even a BLT. All are on the freshest breads. I have never had a bad experience while eating at Izzy’s and delight in the fresh brewed hot teas that I have tried with the dab of honey. Waiters and waitresses are courteous and friendly. They go out of their way to make sure you are satisfied. Parking is abundant in the parking lot that circles the restaurant. Handicapped spaces are marked for older individuals. The customers are young and older, and many families come into the eat restaurant to eat. I would recommend this to those looking for a superior, happy place to eat! .“

“we happened upon this restaurant a year ago just by chance and decided to dine. we were welcomed in and sat promptly. Terrence came and introduced himself and was such a burst of confidence and superb manners! we thoroughly enjoyed the meal from start to finish. a year later (on my birthday) my best friend mentioned this place as we were in the vicinity as her birthday pick (hers is in a few days). again, we were welcomed in and low and behold..Terrence was back to help us out again. we knew then that we would not regret our decision. no pictures except my birthday dessert but man...such a great experience yet again! thanks Terrence! your are a rockstar!“

“this is my first time at Buffalo Grill in Little Rock, AR ... and it will NOT be my last ... let's start with the staff ... they are the most genuine folk i've come across ... they run a fast paced smooth venue ... the menue is filled with wonderful choices for adults and kids ... i got the chips and house made salsa ... followed by salad with house made thousand island dressing (which is the best i've ever tasted), the the amazing hamburger steak with saulted onions on top and fried onion rings ... the apple pie i will taste at home ... ya'll come to a friendly enviroment with great food and enjoy ...“

“Today was my first time visiting Magnolia Skillet. I was greeted with a warm welcome . The staff members were friendly and it was very clean inside. The food was exceptional. The food had that southern taste and seasoned just right. I had the fried chicken with rice, black eyed peas, candy yams and cornbread. I’m looking forward to trying other menu items very some.

“Sami yeah was great! She made sure my beer was frozen cold and my NY strip was cooked just how I liked it !“

“Staff were very nice and respectful.

Vegetarian options: I love that this store offers vegetarian (veggie patties). I stopped going to SW, because of not offering vegetarians a choice (except not buying or eating salad on bread). I was so ecstatic when I seen this store with veggie patties. God willing I will come back.“

“My bf & I really enjoyed ourselves here! It was most definitely a really nice vibe with good music and good daiquiris!! The service is wonderful and they make you feel very comfortable. New place that I’m excited to see grow and take off! ❤️“

“This restaurant has now been added to my preferred list. EVERYTHING WE ORDERED WAS PHENOMENAL!!! The provided us with multiple must have options and each dish was so delicious. No wait time, immediately seated once we all arrived. The atmosphere was really nice. Our server was very attentive to our business group. We had several appetizers while we waited. The pizza was ordered as a togo late night snack for those traveling back to hotels. Definitely will recommend this place in the future.

Parking: There's limited space for parking but majority of the group carpool so that made parking a little easier.“

“They have great flavorful burgers. Wish the server knew the menu a little better but he was attentive! Had to wait a moment for the table but the dining experience didn’t disappoint. The restaurant is kinda small and I wish is the tables weren’t so close to each other.“

“Food was really good, kids loved everything and the prices. If I complain do I get a free meal ??? Lol!!

Kid-friendliness: Everyone was so patient while taking the kiddo’s orders, they changed their minds a few times, prob why service can be a lil slow. Thank you for your kindness and making a great day even better!! Nobody left without a huge smile and a full tummy!!“

“Had a great time. Food was amazing! Service terrific!“

“Great food and great service. Definitely recommend this place.“

“I cannot say enough good things about my recent experience at Oyster Bar. Not only is the food consistently amazing every time I visit, but the level of care and hospitality from the staff truly goes above and beyond. During my last visit, I unfortunately became overheated and fainted on the patio. What could have been a stressful and overwhelming situation was met with nothing but kindness, quick action, and genuine empathy from everyone at the restaurant. Emily, in particular, was an absolute lifesaver—I am beyond grateful she was there that day. From making sure I was okay to offering support in every way possible, her kindness did not go unnoticed. Our waiter had already provided excellent service before my mishap, ensuring a fantastic dining experience. The entire staff demonstrated what true hospitality looks like, and I am incredibly appreciative of their care and professionalism. If you’re looking for a place with phenomenal food and a team that truly cares about their guests, look no further than The Oyster Bar. 10/10 recommend!“

“I loved my Strawberry Cheesecake stuffed pancakes I ate there on Wednesday! They were delicious!“

“Friends recommended Brave New and we first tried it a year ago. We have been back 4 times and this is now our favorite upscale restaurant. I'm working my way thru the menu and everything I've tried has been outstanding. Their wine list is excellent and the service what you would expect from a 4 star restaurant. Love the fact that Peter Brave comes to EVERY table to make sure your meal exceeds your expectations. A little pricey but you get what your pay for! We will be back soon.“

“The food is amazing.And the staff rock“

“One of my favorite places for lunch in Little Rock and the best waitress yet is JD she rocks ….“

“This establishment consistently delivers outstanding dining experiences. Jenna's attentive and friendly service is a notable highlight, making our Friday lunches truly unforgettable“

“LOVE this place! Everything about it!! The atmosphere is fantastic! The service has always been top notch! Don't get me started on the food!! I have had several items from the menu and I have never been disappointed!“

“Amazing, amazing me and my family came in and they were actually closed, but once they realized we were going to leave they made the exception to allow us to sit and eat, then after it seems like other people came behind us. So I thank them for their great hospitality and the food was amazing. I’ll definitely be back on regular hours though 😂 thank you Platinum BBQ.“
