She could not have been any better. Had everything we needed and the food was outstanding. I called and spoke to Jorge and told him how pleased we were. People are so quick to complain so Kim & I decided to tell them how happy we were with start to finish. Gators Dockside has always been my favorite restaurant, and it’s still my favorite restaurant. Thank you again Jorge, & Kristina .“

At the table we ordered 1) the everything omelette 2) lemon blueberry pancakes 3) 6 mammoth muffins to go, and of course coffee!

“Well I have aways loved Cracker Barrel for its store and for dining but here lately I have been disappointed in their change of menu. Example is I love their chicken pot pie well now you only get it on a certain day and there has been other changes to the menus as well . Hit to mention it seems like the portions have decreased too. The last three times I have been there I have been disappointed. Being honest I have to say Cracker Barrel probably will not be my place if choice anymore. Also whenever I travel which is every year a couple times a year Cracker Barrel was my favorite stops along the way I always knew I would have a good meal there . Now I have to say the food itself is still good but they have changed the menu .like any other restaurant you go to you have your favorite meal you always seem to order . But I couldn’t honestly say I would not recommend Cracker Barrel ..staff are always friendly and polite and very helpful.“

“Great breakfast, fast friendly service and the best prices around!“

“We had a luncheon for 16 people Friday, March 29, 2024 and Robin was our server....she was polite, efficient and pleasant. All the food arrived at the same time and we were all very happy. We will return.“

“We just absolutely Love Culvers as simple as that !“

“I booked the Wellington for my daughters surprise Sweet 16 and it was the best decision for a venue. The place is classy the staff was attentive. I highly suggest the Wellington at Seven Hills Club House for any event. Thank you for making my daughters day memorable.“

“Food is great! Atmosphere great! Wait staff is phenomenal! Overall management...sucks! Servers should not have to seat, wait, bus and even check-out customers. Where are the owners on busy times of day to run the business. Plus ..and even worse...the two men that seldom run the check out are rude. They don't say one single word to you, but take ur card or money. Don't say thank u or anything. Great food...great service.... Lousy management“

“The outside looks dirty but once you get inside it’s clean and the food was very good flavorful, hot and fresh, this is the second time I’ve been here until I come visit my son and make sure I come get a cheesesteak and the chicken bacon ranch quesadilla was very good as well“

“Once again, the standard of excellence!! Consistently excellent in all phases of the dining experience. One of the very best places you will ever enjoy a meal!! 5 star +++“

“Love there food yum yum get me some“

“Excellent food and service. Great people. Thank you“

“I just wanted to thank Jacob and Jordan for being so attentive and caring! We made an online order and finished our errands much earlier than anticipated, so when we parked in the curbside pick up area they worked above and beyond to understand why our order didn't show up on their screens. After much effort it turned out that we simply arrived too early. Thank you, Jacob and Jordan, for your kindness and resolution!“

“Love this place“

“Foods good waiter is always polite and fast when I come in am“

“My favorite Mom and Pop stop. Vet friendly!“

“I would honestly give more stars if I could. We were deciding where to go for my wife's birthday, but also considering we have 3 young girls that are 4 & under. They have an awesome menu as well as a great kids menu that's not filled with junk. I was expecting little kids meals for them, but I think the kids chicken tenders and fries were enough for 90% of adults as a dinner and kids drink free. We didn't know any of this before doing but were pleasantly surprised. My wife order a salmon meal and I had a ½ pound specialty burger the waitress suggested. We ordered an appetizer of the Wisonsin Cheese Bites, which were really good and they give you a plate of croissants with this honey butter on it, we ended up ordering a second order of them, which they charge for, but is beyond reasonable at $1.99!

No matter what the bill was, we would be going back. The whole vibe was great. Our waitress, Hillary was amazing (Thank you, Hillary!) compared to just about every restaurant we've ever been to. I have to recommend you to at least once, especially families with 3+ kids ... I've spent more at chick-fil-a with less food, not as healthy, and no experience to be had.

To be able to go out as a family of 5 and get a full course meal for everyone for under $70 ($68 n change plus a tip) is unheard of! Again, we highly recommend this place!

Parking: Pull in and park with ease

Kid-friendliness: Amazing kids menu, they drink free, and it's all well made and HUGE portions. High-chairs and booster seats available.“

“It's like eating at home. The food is homemade the waitresses are fun, kind and attentive. Best restaurant in town! ***** Support your local buisness“

“Our first time at Skinny’s, we’ll definitely be back, had a great time with friends, loved the atmosphere, music, food was the best! We had the taco salad, amazing…the naked jerk wings, so good, did a reorder, and the chicken parm sandwich was so good and such a generous portion, drinks were reasonable too, we all thoroughly enjoyed it…love the Skinny’s food…“

“Me encanta comer aki“

“This is our first time at Spring Hill location. We placed an online order a week in advance but we were told by staff that they are out of order at the time of arrival. We did not get any notification only to email to pick up an order at designated time. It would be better for the store to reserve the order for people who have ordered/paid/planned to pick up instead of selling to walk in customers.We were offered the whole turkey to replace our order at no extra charge. We accepted it. Just be mindful that online order does not guarantee that your food will be there.“

“Great BBQ and great service. My go to place for BBQ when I’m in the area“

“It is an excellent dive with a pleasant atmosphere. The food is also surprisingly good. Wednesday Wing Night is a thing.. $.60 wings. No, I do not work there, but it is a great dive.“

“Ordered an Italian sub and it was excellent!! I’ll definitely be back. 😎🤙🎩🧚‍♀️“

“We, my husband, my husband's cousins, and I, used to eat here all the time....at least once a week. That was, until this "Covid"- thing cut into their hours and business. Now that Covid is over, their hours are still very limited. They close at 2. We, seniors, like to go out for dinner, in the evening. That's when we went. Now, closing at 2, haven't been back in months, if not more. Today is Sunday. Think they would be open all day, but, no. Still closing at 2. Very sad. Love the food, though, but can't eat there if they aren't open.“

“I had the BEST experience not long ago. My servers name was Kayla and she was absolutely AMAZING!!! She has a great attitude, food came out fast and was delicious. I will keep coming back as long as she is my server 💖“

“Excellent food, excellent service.“

“Took my handycaped wife to this restaurant. They ask us to leave because we had her service dog with us. They said the dog was not allowed to sit next to her where he needed to be to do what he was trained to do. They are not ADA compliant.“

“Been here a bunch of times and I'm never disappointed. Always a good time. Drinks are always on point, food is great and everyone is friendly. They take good care of you here. Date night or hanging with friends, perfect spot for a good time.“
