“Food is GREAT. Had my in laws 50th anniversary and we had links BBQ and EVERYONE RAVED how amazing the food was. We couldn’t have picked a better catering.“

“Portion size is huge. I ordered the regular cheeseburger combo add bacon and sub onion rings and a order of fried okra. First, the burger was delicious and pretty big. Second, the onion rings were so good and huge. I thought the okra would be a smaller portion, but boy, was I wrong. Needless to say, I have at least 2 meals. I barely made it through the burger. Delicious. Don't sleep on this all American diner. So. Dang. Good. Great bang for your buck!“

“The Homewrecker and Pink Cadillac are my personal favorites. The staff is amazing and the food is even better! The dry rub smoked wings are to-die for and their ribs are hands down the best in the River Valley! I have also used their catering for big family gatherings and the pulled pork was a hit with my family! Fun atmosphere with live music in the Beer Garden! 🎶“

“My boyfriend and I had date night tonight at Texas Roadhouse and we had a great experience! The food was good and for a busy Saturday night it came out quick. I do want to give a special shoutout to the manager, Brittany. She was so kind and gave us our appetizer for free because it never came out to us by the time our food came!! :) 10/10 recommend.“

“I had such a wonderful experience at Kpot in Whitehall! From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel welcome. Our server Wendy was absolutely amazing – she was so kind, patient, and helpful. She took the time to walk us through the menu, answered all our questions, and really made sure we had a great dining experience. One of the sweetest moments was when the staff gave my baby a duck balloon and even played peek-a-boo with him – it truly made our visit extra special. ❤️ Small details like that show how much they care about their guests. The drinks were delicious, the food was fresh, flavorful, and very filling, and overall, it felt well worth the money. The atmosphere was fun, the service outstanding, and everything came together perfectly for a memorable meal. I highly recommend this location if you’re looking for great food and an even better experience. We’ll definitely be coming back – and asking for Wendy again!“

“This place is called Reds Place now. I attended a private wedding here so I can't tell you anything about it, except that the decor is awesome! Tons of collectibles to look at, looks like they might have all the things to have a wonderful venue. Very rustic feeling that's nicely done. They had an outdoor seating area to accommodate smoking and vaping. The parking is in a fenced-in grass field with plenty of room. Recommended calling for details.“

“The atmosphere at Longhorn is always better, more refined. Some of the others are so noisy, you can hardly talk across your own table. At this particular location, even more than other Longhorn locations we have visited, the food was amazing and our server was exceptional.“
