“We’ve been coming to Ruby Tuesday every Thursday for a long time now, and one of the biggest reasons we keep coming back is *Kat*. She is hands down the best server we’ve ever had — not just here, but anywhere.

Kat always greets us with a smile, remembers our usual orders, and goes above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect. Her attention to detail, professionalism, and genuine kindness make every visit feel like we’re dining with a friend. Even when the restaurant is busy, she never misses a beat and still gives us amazing service.

Kat truly makes Ruby Tuesday feel like a second home for us on Thursdays. We can’t say enough good things about her — she’s exceptional!

Thank you, Kat, for being the absolute best!

— Your Thursday regulars 💕“

“I go to West Egg at least once a week. Those biscuits are crave worthy! But I also get their bowls and they are happy to modify it for my tastes. It feels like a real local spot with love in the kitchen. You can tell they care about the food and the people they serve… I am so glad to have this local gem nearby!“

“I was on vacation when I saw this restaurant in St. Augustine FL. I saw the menu and said I have to go in and get something! I am a grilled cheese connoisseur and I make some good ones myself but oh my gosh, the grilled Mac and Cheese I had with I can't remember what kind of meat was AMAZING! So was the tomato soup! This amazing 70's music was playing inside and I was dancing waiting for my take out. It was so cool inside! They asked for my name and I told them. Little did I know when I came back in a few days later where we ate inside that time, that the man who waited on me 2 days before would remember me and call me by name! Holy cow! That was so cool! He said it was because I was dancing. I'm a dancer with 5 trophies so yeah, I was dancing to that good music but to remember me like that! If you love grilled Mac and Cheese or just grilled cheese in general and you love tomato soup, you have to eat here! I promise you will not be disappointed at all! Next time I want some Poutine and another sandwich! YUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“Visited The Raintree Restaurant to celebrate my 40th Birthday. We were looking for somewhere that had a romantic feel, variety of food options, and great service. The Raintree offered that and more. Tim was a great waiter; very attentive and precise. We will definitely drive 3 hours to eat there again.“

“A True Hidden Gem in St. Augustine The Collage exceeded all our expectations. We’ve visited St. Augustine many times, but this was our first time discovering this incredible restaurant, and what a find! We were celebrating our 21st anniversary and stumbled upon The Collage online. Thinking it would be quiet on a Wednesday night, we didn’t make a reservation. Despite being fully booked, Megan, the restaurant manager, went out of her way to accommodate us, which we truly appreciated. Our server, Franco, was warm, attentive, and very knowledgeable. The food was absolutely phenomenal from start to finish. We began with the beef carpaccio and watermelon salad; both beautifully prepared. For our main course, we each had the 8oz filet topped with gorgonzola sauce, and every bite was mouthwatering. Between courses, we were treated to a refreshing raspberry sorbet to cleanse our palates—a lovely touch. For dessert, we shared a warm pound cake with raspberry coulis and fresh whipped cream, paired with perfectly made espressos. The ambiance was quaint, cozy, and romantic,ideal for a special occasion like ours. We especially loved that the menu changes regularly, offering something new to look forward to each time. We’re so happy to have found this gem and will absolutely be returning. Highly recommended! Thanks Again, The Gennaro’s“

“I run a celebrate recovery program and they have stepped up to provide us dinner periodically amazing help for our community as we feed 100 people every week thanks for your partnership 💕💕💕💕🙏“

“One of the best in area.“

“The bartender and our server were the highlight of the night! Both extremely knowledgeable, approachable and available. The food was excellent and portions generous. Crispy fries perfectly salted, mussels cooked the right way and all meals hot and quick. We will be back.“

“We stopped by for a quick burger on our way home. Neither of us had ever been to a Culver's, and as we stood and looked at the options on the menu, Josh noticed that it was our first time. He explained that the hamburger meat is fresh (not frozen), and continued to tell us his favorites from the menu and why. We went with his recommendation - the butterburger sour dough melt with bacon plus crinkle fries. It was delicious!! And... Diet rootbeer! It's fast food, but Josh came out to the dining room to check on us. He is beyond great customer service, and really made this visit memorable for us. We stopped and picked a couple flavors of frozen custard on our way out (mint explosion and devil's food cake). So creamy and delicious (DEFINITELY get the frozen custard)! We'll be back!“

“Early Valentine's Day dinner! The appetizer was a charcuterie board with a thoughtful selection of meats and cheeses. We spurged for the Tomahawk steak - cooked to a perfect medium rare- and it was incredible! The seafood dish was the best we've ever had with the star being the Blue Crab ravioli( chef exclusive to the weekend). Dessert was Chocolate Expresso mouse. 5 ☆ experience from start to finish.“

“Best food around and great service! Can’t wait to come back!“

“We had a great dinner last night, our server was the best, great prices and we even got the take home entree for another meal. I don’t have to cook tonight. Thanks Cracker Barrel.“

“We always enjoy stopping at this location on our way home from work!! But today was spectacular. Joy greeted us as we walked in,took our order. She even cleared our table at the end. What a ray of sunshine. If she is not Already management I highly recommend a promotion for her.“

“The food was absolutely delicious. We tried the escargot and definitely did not regret it. The atmosphere in the once past pool was a different experience. Quiet, romantic and simply beautiful. Our waitress was phenomenal and cared to our every need. We can’t wait to come back.“

“This place was truly a hidden gem! We just stopped in for a drink and appetizer and it was probably the best thing we ate out whole trip. We had the rueben rolls and artichoke dip. They were out of this world amazing. Cool atmosphere, waitress, and food. We will be back for sure!“

“Best Italian restaurant in St Augustine by far. Food was delicious, staff was fantastic and the owners are from my home state of NJ. What more can you ask for ?? My wife and I will definitely be coming back !!“

“This place appears child friendly but I went last night with my hubby for a date. Best shrimp and grits I’ve ever had in my life. Ceviche app was also chef’s kiss. My husband had the Chicken and Hoecakes dish. Again, 🤯! The desert was okay but everything else including staff were phenomenal. Atmosphere was nice, dim lighting surrounds you in raw architecture with an intimate feel. Drinks were also incredibly good. If you’re on the fence, get off it and go!“

“I recently dined at the hotel without being a guest. Our server, Darlene, was an exceptional server. She took great care of us and was incredibly attentive and understanding of my family’s language barrier. Not only was she exceptional, but the food itself was also incredible.“

“Food was amazing!!!“

“Ordered food from there yesterday and it was amazing! The jerk chicken quesadilla was outstanding and the three taco combo was phenomenal! BBQ super tender. Shrimp - super fresh. Highly, highly recommend. Was enough for two meals!“

“Used Sonny’s to cater our reception dinner for our son and now daughter..sliced turkey,pulled pork,Mac & cheese,baked beans,coleslaw and rolls were on point..also had sweet & unsweet tea and lemonade…everyone was well fed and satisfied with the food,as many said,its hard to go wrong with Sonnys..🤤..“

“We wanted to get away for the touristy spots for dinner and found this highly spot! The service was friendly! Our sushi was fresh and delicious! We were blown away by how good the sushi was, the salmon melted in my mouth and the eel was cooked to perfection! Such a lovely find after eating heavy the past few days!!“

“We had Sporks cater our wedding December 14, 2024, and they did a phenomenal job! Miles and Libby were so helpful. The food and service was phenomenal - plus we love their restaurant too! Highly recommend them if you have a function that needs catering!“

“My husband and I frequently go to the Hardee's located on Mid Rivers Mall Dr & Mexico Rd, St. Peter's, Mo. We LOVE this location. The staff is always friendly. The store is always clean. And the breakfast is awesome. They all deserve a raise. I would have gone through your website to express this, it keeps wanting to pull up Tennessee locations, even though I state where I live. And when I actually find the correct location, it won't let me actually select it. Your app sucks as well, when it comes to ordering things. Orders won't go through, and when they show up, it's an hour later, which is setting your stores up for failure and pissed off people (customers and employees alike).“

“The food has dramatically improved, I consistently now get my eggs exactly the way I like them. The waitresses warm and thoughtful.“

“Always ask your server where they go after work! This place was the perfect suggestion. We are traveling with a puppy and were welcomed on their patio. The atmosphere was very relaxing and made sense as a local haunt without snubbing the weary tourist. Irish coffee at 11:00 pm? Yes and thank you. Thumbs up to Barley Republic.“

“Dined there last evening July 13,2023. There were 4 of us and the meal was very good. We were very impressed with the service provided to us by Lindsey. She and one other lady were the only ones waiting tables. Lindsey went way above her duties to handle customers. I hope that the manager of this Applebee's appreciate this worker who went out of her way to provide excellent service and that the cooperate office acknowledges good employees.“

“We have gone to La Cocina over the last 25 years at 3 locations. This is the most scenic location. The food and service, as always, was impeccable. I had the Filet, my wife the shrimp. Absolutely wonderful.“

“This is a hidden gem, so I’ll type type quietly. The food here is fresh, tasty and good looking! I had the salmon salad. The salmon was fresh with a smoky flavor. Bottom was nicely done with-a brown crisp to it Home made salad dressing was tossed with the salad. Salad had greens,capons , mushrooms, red onion, cheese and a very good flavor. Hubby had the shrimp wrap with a spinach tortilla. Delightful flavor all around“

“Kara was an excellent waitress always friendly always gives good recommendations. Excellent even in suggestion of bar drinks and willing to go the extra mile to make the customer happy.🩷“

“Sat bar side in a booth with Danuta as our server. She's worked at Longhorn for 27 years! Danuta was lovely as were the hostesses, bartender, and manager.

Had a delicious meal of salmon + shrimp combo for under $30. It was so much food that I'll have lunch tomorrow also!

Shout out to the cooks that I didn't meet but deserve high praise also!

They were super were super busy in this holiday season but we were never rushed. (Tuesday 12/23/35)

I would love to go back for another experience of trying delicious food as well as having great customer service as someone as awesome as Danielle! :)“

“Best food ever! Waitress Lani is awesome. Her kindness, patience, and commitment to great service truly shine.“

“We had amazing service when we went in this morning. We've never been here so it was nice to just stop by and check it out. ?

I have to say the food was quick and fresh a little bland. But I definitely would go back again and try something else the other pictures seem very enticing to try something with fruit or the French toast.

The food portion was great and we shared it.

Ordered hot water with lemon and she gave us extra hot water in the tall cups it was perfect. ❤️

The atmosphere was nice and great music was playing.“

“First timer yesterday - OMGOSH‼️ Theeee BEST Burger EVER - French Onion Burger, with OUTSTANDING homemade potato salad‼️ We will become regulars‼️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“Was visiting the area and looking for a nice burger spot. It's delivery only but this was by far one of the best burgers I have ever had. And the Chefs seasoned potatoes really blew it over the top. Price was reasonable too. If you haven't tried it. Try it.“

“The grand opening of the Texas Roadhouse in St. Augustine was a bustling affair, with diners pouring in non-stop. The managers and staff were well-prepared and eager to serve. As I arrived, I noticed the addition of a To Go walk-up window, a fantastic concept that I'll surely use in the future. Our dining experience was delightful, thanks to our server Taylor. She was incredibly pleasant and knowledgeable, making our time there enjoyable. Despite my son running late, she remained patient as I held the table for an extended period. While waiting, I couldn't help but notice Nay, one of the servers, who stood out from the rest. She was not only efficient and diligent but also showed compassion and care. I watched in awe as she communicated with an elderly couple using sign language, engaging them in full conversations. The couple looked so happy and appreciative of Nay's genuine personality, and I was equally impressed. I made sure to inform Nay's manager, Chase, of my observations. The staff's genuine desire to make the dining experience enjoyable is what will bring me back in the near future.“

“We always make sure to swing by for a meal when we are in St. Augustine. Food is always great! This time we did almost leave after getting some attitude from the person seating us and it wasn't off to a great start. Glad we stayed because the server we had was awesome and more than made up for it. We will be back!“

“We have lived in the area for 20 years and driven past it 1000s of times but never went until tonight...glad we did. Great wings and the pizza was surprisingly very tasty. Draft beer selection was nice and service was excellent - we will return.“

“Great food“

“had the beef wellington tonight absolutely fantastic, I tried my wife's grits which i normally hate this place changed my mind tonight they were fantastic will 100 percent go again“
