“Just Great Chicken Salad“

“Ava was amazing once again!
Last year we held our men's retreat in Tampa, Fl. Ava catered to about 12 of us. The food was absolutely delicious! She informed us that she's usually in between Tampa and ATL. So this year, we decided to hold our annual men's retreat in Atlanta, and we were able to book Ava again. This time she provided for 18 of us. And once again she did not disappoint. She came 3 days in a row and truly showed off.
She was always on time. Prepared the food on schedule. Professional. And overall amazing person!
We don't have a destination set for our next retreat, but may more than likely base it on were Ms Ava will be...“

“Absolutely delicious place to eat, love the atmosphere. Great customer service!“

“Great place for food and entertainment. Food is excellent, I recommend meatloaf or brisket dinners. Chicken quesadilla is the best in town. Smoke friendly venue. A++++“

“The pecan chicken salad was phenomenal, and my 9 year old's fettuccine Alfredo was excellent, but the whole experience was made fantastic by the service we received from Lauralynn, our server. She made our experience so pleasant, especially after we were treated like garbage at Miller's Ale House.“

“Amazing, food, vibe, drinks!“

“It’s pretty solid at this location. I like to get two scoops of salad, as when I have gotten the bread in the past it has been stale. I really love having this restaurant around though, there are many different cool flavors if you’re into all that.“

“I've taken out from Cheddar's before but this was my first time eating in. Our server was very attentive and the hot croissants were delicious! The food was consistent with what I've had in the past. It was a busy Sunday afternoon but the service wasn't lacking. It's a good choice for a decent meal.“

“Maple Street Biscuit Company's menu primarily focuses on unique biscuit sandwiches and plates, featuring both classic and creative combinations. They also offer sides like grits, hashbrowns, and chicken tenders, as well as beverages such as mimosas and lemonade. Their maple coffee is excellent.“

“Mango’s Cafe is a culinary gem that promises an unforgettable dining experience. From the moment you step inside the inviting atmosphere sets the perfect backdrop for what is sure to be a fantastic meal.

I had the pleasure of trying several dishes during my visit, and I can confidently say that everything was a perfect 10/10. Each plate was a delightful explosion of flavor, showcasing the restaurant’s commitment to quality and creativity. The menu offers a diverse selection, but you can’t go wrong with their honey fried chicken and the catfish which was made to order was literally perfect!

But it’s not just the food that makes Mango’s Cafe stand out. The customer service was exemplary. From the moment I walked in, the staff was friendly and attentive.

If you’re a newcomer, don’t be deterred by the line outside(and inside)—trust me, the food is absolutely worth the wait! The buzz of excited patrons only adds to the vibrant atmosphere, and once you take your first bite, you’ll understand why so many people are eager to get in.

Excitingly, with a new location opening soon, there will be plenty of deliciousness to go around! Whether you're a local or just visiting Tampa, make sure to add Mango’s Cafe to your must-try list. You won’t regret it!“

“Great service and delicious food in a family atmosphere.“

“they have a wide variety of whisky and bourbon and it's a chill place for family or couples“

“We frequent 4 Rivers Smokehouse when we are craving great BBQ. I love the fact they have a great variety of meats (I'm partial to the burnt ends) and their sauces are to die for. We love eating at the N Dale Mabry location - staff is great, the restaurant is big and has a great atmosphere and the bakery is great.

Today I ordered take out for a family that just experienced a tragic loss. Having a take out option of great quality food, well packed and including all meal options was a nice option to bring to the family.

So whether you just want a delicious meal or need food for an occasion, visit 4 Rivers Smokehouse's website to see all the selections.“
