“Amazing food choices and awesome customer service highly recommend this place“

“Went there on 4/12/2026. Had a fish sandwich platter. It was very good and fresh. Had key lime pie for dessert that was pretty good. The waitress by contrast, had a bad attitude and gave my friend incorrect change. I may not return to this place just because of the attitude. There is another restaurant on the other side of the lake with better food and better servers.“

“We took our family from out of town to the Sunday brunch last Sunday, and I was embarrassed. We have been there many times for brunch and it was always great. This past Sunday was was not good. We had to wait for service to get a drink, the egg hot plate were empty and it took quite awhile to refill. The pancakes were hard, chicken tenders were dry. I’m not sure why it was like that because in the past it has always been good. The juice tub was pretty much empty, the syrup jar was empty and when I gave it to the young man it took it and walk away, not saying a word. The best was the prime rib, although it would have been nice to have mashed potatoes to go with it. The guy at the carving station did a great job making omelets and carving. It may be a long time until we return.“

“Dined at Legacy April 30. Party of 7. Eric was our server. Eric was over the top terrific. Very attentive and very personable. Eric is a definite asset to this restaurant. Thank you Eric. We will return and request you.“

“I love this place. I get their sweet heat pulled pork and its absolutely scrumptious and not a bad price for what you get. Unfortunately I will not be able to eat there very often because I don't believe they have diabetic options like lettuce wraps. Just salad and i don't want pulled pork on a salad“

“Went there last Saturday with a group of friends. Everyone enjoyed their meals. Exceptional food. Glad it so close and so good.“

“5+ stars to the City Fire restaurant and the amazing HOPE for a fantastic experience and great food. Our 14 year old Akita Wishy was warmly greeted and invited to join us at one of the outdoor patio tables. Hope was SO great with Wishy -- lots of water refills -- and finding out Hope loves dogs and that City Fire is so dog friendly just made our visit that much better. Oh and the French Dip and Burger we ordered were great -- and the Bourbon Sour -- perfect! We'll bring Wishy back for more fun soon -- and we'll be requesting one of Hope's tables for sure!“

“I wish I would’ve caught the servers name tonight but she was absolutely AMAZING!! Had the best personality and very attentive! You could tell she was very busy and looked as if she was the only server on the floor along with a bartender but she handled everything so well! Bartender also had a wrapped bar but was getting those drinks out FAST to tables! Food was also hot and so delicious!“

“We almost passed this little place but I'm so glad we didn't. The garlic knots are fantastic. The Margherita pizza was probably the best pizza I've had in years. We will stop by the next time we are in town“

“I have lived in Belleview for 5 years and recently started frequently eating at riccardos. it started with their Philly cheese and fries for lunch. The best local Philly and one of the best national Philly! Then I tried the two for $36 chicken parmasan which was so delicious the next day I ordered the lasagna, then the next the spaghetti. I consider it the best pizza in America. I have lived in 15 states and have traveled them all including Alaska, I coukdnt find an Italian place there. Riccardos is a historical staple to Belleview offering jobs to local teens and young adults and everyone in between, the wait staff becomes a family extension and the place has the aroma of a true Italian pizzeria, the seafood is a whole other topic, super fresh and delicious every meal. the bartenders are fabulous and knowledgeable. I always recommend Riccardos over any of their competition, especially down the road riccardos is waaaay more authentic!“

“Thank you Denny's for the free breakfast for Veterans Day. The food was so good and came to the table hot. Our server, Erika was outstanding! She was so sweet, and helpful and kept checking on us and filling up my husband's coffee. We weren't expecting this because of how crowded it was but Erika handled everything with ease. She is the best server we have ever had since moving here. You are lucky to have such a caring employee.“

“Great place to have a fantastic breakfast“

“They have a full bar and a decent menu of pub fare. The pork tenderloin made this Iowa girl smile. I will go back. The Hubs had the patty melt and was happy as well. Fries were good and the bartender friendly. All in all, a great place to tuck into on a rainy day. Did I mention there is also a bowling alley? Maybe next time.“

“Take the name Philadelphia of the “Philly cheese steak sandwich as it is nothing like aPhilly steake“

“Our first time dining here. Excellent experience. My husband and I were greeted by Teresa who also prepared our sandwich. She was most helpful in sharing with me first just what the size of the sandwich would be so I could choose to order just one to split as it was a more than ample size for my husband and me. Keyla took my order and was also most helpful in answering several questions I had regarding placing a Christmas pre-order. Both Teresa and Keyla made our first time at Honey Baked Hams a joy, even taking time at the end of their day to have friendly conversation with us.“

“We have been going to Perkins for Thanksgiving for the past 15 years, Love the food, good service and prices. However, This year we were very disappointed that the pie did not come with the purchase of the turkey dinner. It has been added to your meal, not this year. so sad.. Love your pies, but when you get used to something so good, then it's good, kind of loses it for ya...bring the pie back please!!!!!“

“Great as you'd expect from Longhorn. everyone loved their lunch, although the flavor of my burger was a tad off. But, who in their right mind gets a burger in a quality steakhouse? My fault!!

The service was superb and the place was very clean and friendly.“

“Great food and two for one cocktails, also great entertainment!!“
