“We went for dinner tonight and had an amazing experience. The staff was super friendly, he helped us navigate the menu and made great suggestions. We got a combo platter so we could share and try it all. The meat melted in your mouth and the flavor was so good. We will definitely be back!“

“We had a baby shower for my daughter and son-in-law at the Dog Watch Mystic, and I could not be happier with them. The tent and grounds were perfectly appointed, the food was fantastic, and the entire staff was wonderful. Thank you, Dog Watch!“

“Best bbq ive ever had!!!! Great food, great service we will be back!!!“

“This place is great. Great food, great people. Even great customers. We always meet fun people here, that’s a big why it’s a favorite. Growing up on the Boston area, I love fried seafood. Charlie’s fried seafood is the closest reminder to the fried whole bellies I grew up with. And the Bahamas Mamas are on point!“

“Girls run this world, the bartenders here are genuine no joke queens! Be patient, there is 1 of them to 50 of us and they make it look easy and that’s an understatement. Wings are great, drink selection is diverse and plentiful atmosphere is comfortable and local. Great meet up spot for friends! Come on down and see this staff sleigh their magic, shoutout to Jenna, Lisa, & Abigail!“

“This restaurant has a nice, clean interior and is very comfortable overall. We ordered karaage chicken, sushi, tantan ramen, miso soup, and Thai tea, and everything tasted excellent. The karaage chicken was the standout - light, crispy, and perfectly paired with a simple sauce that worked really well.

My only note was the chashu pork in the tantanmen, which was quite bland and a bit tough to chew. Chashu should always be slow-cooked for several hours and rich in flavor. That said, the broth, noodles, and ramen egg were all great. The broth could be slightly creamier, in my opinion, but it was still very enjoyable.

Service was okay overall. One of the servers (an Asian woman) came across as a bit dismissive and not very welcoming, though the other staff we interacted with seemed friendly.

Overall, a very good experience. Vacation restaurants can sometimes feel like tourist traps or money grabs with underwhelming food, but this one was a pleasant surprise.“

“They gave me a choice of yes or no as to whether or not I would recommend them. Of course I said yes, but unfortunately, we did experience something that was unfortunate. We were a party of eight, one of us being a three-year-old. They sat us in the bar at a large table, and my grandson was seated between his parents. We arrived at noon, knowing we wanted to be quick because we had a three year-old with us. My grandson did really good. He had one or two episodes where he cried, but overall pretty good. Unfortunately, the table setting next to us made a comment to their waitress saying that children shouldn’t be in the restaurant and their waitress replied, yeah I know, that’s why I don’t have any. Then as we were leaving a group at the bar had something to say about kids should stay home. It was Easter Sunday, we were there about an hour total simply because we knew a three-year-old wouldn’t last long. The food was awesome. Our waitress was outstanding, but I would suggest not putting children in the bar area. It was disappointing hearing the other waitress agree with the table next to us that children shouldn’t be there. My grandson stayed seated between his parents and their focus was not on the meal. Their focus was keeping him busy and happy. To the lady at the table next to us and the loud mouth at the bar please remember you were once a child. Texas Roadhouse is family friendly so if you don’t like children don’t go to a family friendly restaurant, respectfully of course!“

“The 6 oz Renegade steak seved with a loaded baked potato is delicious! The bread was fresh and warm and we had unlimited Coke Zero drinks. Ryan our server was very attentive and checked to see if we were satisfied with our meals-excellent service, great tasting steak and baked potato - all at a very reasonable price! I definitely recommend this Longhorn Steakhouse to steak lovers! We will return!“
