The smokiness of the pulled pork was amazing, the cucumber salad was refreshing to lighten up the fact that I has to try the truffle fries 😋 Hubby had the wings and they were meaty and so moist but caramelized as well. The IPA selection was perfect!!!”

Outdoor covered seating right on the water and live music sometimes. 5 stars for sure! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Arrived at 10:05 for lunch because breakfast ended at 10:00. One server took our drink order and said our server would be taking our order shortly. 10 minutes later she took our order. Meanwhile over the next 30 minutes several customers arrived and were served drinks and meals. Our server returned a couple of times with excuses why our food wasn't ready. After waiting patiently for 1 hour we got up and left. No one approached us to ask why we were leaving. This was our first visit to Big Mamas and will not be returning.”

They are one of a kind. I absolutely love the art and atmosphere. This bar is a an atmosphere like no other. Seth and Cat were absolutely amazing and offered wonderful customer service!

She keeps coming to check on us to see if we like the food or needed anything. She was very professional and funny at the same time. We hope to see her again next time we visit.”

“Went for Veterans day. It was very busy as to be expected. Despite the dinner rush and lower bills that would come in from the comped meals our server Katrina was great.
We were seated surprisingly quick after initially being quoted a 30 minute wait. She apologized when it took a bit longer to get our sons drink (milk) because it needed to come from the bar. Checked on us multiple times and got our meals out in a timely manner. Overall we received great service under the higher pressure of a busy night like this.”

““I’m lovin’ it… but my gluten-free stomach is not.”

Ah, McDonald’s — the land of golden fries, drive-thru dreams, and late-night cravings. You’ve been there for me at 2 a.m. after a road trip, during toddler tantrums, and on days when cooking feels like an extreme sport. Consistency is key, and you deliver: salty fries, burgers that hit the nostalgia button, and those little Coke cups that somehow taste better than all other Cokes in the world.

BUT — and it’s a sesame seed-covered but — my gluten-free self is out here in the corner munching on hash browns and apple slices like it’s a kindergarten snack. Throw me a (bun-less) bone! A gluten-free burger bun? A nugget made of dreams and rice flour? I’m not asking for filet mignon. Just let me join the party.

Still, four stars for always being there, for being affordable, and for letting me eat fries with zero judgment. I’ll keep coming back... just with my own sad Tupperware sometimes. 😅”

“Relaxing, inviting, exceptional service, delicious food. 💯”

“We eat here regularly. I’m have been very impressed with the “to go” staff. Very very nice and polite. Have had males and females and everybody seemed very nice and had no problem checking when I ask to verify all my sauces. Lol. This shows great management! See ya soon! P”

“Had a wonderful dinner here!!! Our waiter was named Cole and he was AMAZING!!! All staff was attentive and kind! Food was excellent!!!”

“Amazing cappuccino AND it's a drive through...can't get any better than that!”

“Delicious ice cream! Had the Creole Praline- it was divine! Young man working was very friendly and patient! (9/25).”

“Serenity at 7 Brew is truly AMAZING! She is always so incredibly sweet and welcoming, and she has such a warm, positive energy that instantly makes your day better. You can tell she genuinely cares about what she does—she’s extremely knowledgeable, efficient, and so good at her job.

Every drink she makes is perfect—consistently delicious, balanced, and made exactly right every single time. I never have to worry when Serenity is working because I know my drink is going to be amazing. She goes above and beyond to make sure customers are happy, and it really shows.

7 Brew is lucky to have her! Serenity is a true gem, and she deserves all the praise and recognition. 🌟💙”

“Great pizza and friendly service. Yes, pizza a little over priced. However, it was thin and cooked perfectly. Will return when back in the area. Thanks Carolina!”

“Tarpons restaurant was our choice for breakfast, as we visit the Indigo hotel marina in Panama, FL. Our server Shalondra she was prompt and very kind along with her team mate Zack. The food was superb and with the teamwork of Shalondra & Zack made for excellent experience for our visit. Great customer service and great food on point! :-)”

“Ate lunch at Big Mama’s today for lunch. Had chicken and dumplings, collars, navy beans, and corn bread. Absolutely delicious. Excellent service. Highly recommend.”

“So today I went and I saw they had their Valentine's Day drinks out and thank God it wasn't either raspberry or strawberry. However, they had pink velvet. Well, I won't say what company, but another company, a few years back did a pink velvet macchiato, and it was amazing. Well, today, I ordered their pink velvet mocha. But as a macchiato, with half-and-half and I gotta upside down, and it was absolutely AMAZING I'm sad that they will only have this a limited time but guaranteed I will be drinking this multiple times a week until it's gone! And also I cant say enough good about EVERYONE I have dealt with there! Keep up the great work 👍”

“Absolutely gorgeous view and the food was absolutely incredible! Can't wait to come back and not only for the restaurant but to stay at the hotel. We ate the crabcakes and the Wagyu sliders. Wagyu sliders were the best I've ever had!”

“Live down 231 and the two choices we are stuck with are sub par at best. So glad Marco's covers our area now. Just ordered our first pizza from this location. Fantastic pizza and service. I recommend the thin crust it's exceptional 👍.”

“The food was top tier! Favorite spot in Callaway!”

“We recommend everything here for a quick healthy breakfast! They make the best smoothies, homemade syrups and pastries.”

“I love that Sbarro is back near me, remind me of many a trip to the mall. I just came here to say the Valley Center KS location rules 💜”

“This is indeed a commendable establishment, and the food was excellent. I rated the service at four stars primarily due to a slight delay, but I have no other complaints. We celebrated my mother-in-law's birthday here, and the occasion was quite pleasant. There was a minor issue with being charged for a birthday sundae, but upon pointing out the discrepancy between the store and customer receipts, it was promptly resolved. Otherwise, this is a wonderful dining spot with fantastic steaks, superb sides, and delicious appetizers. I highly recommend it, though perhaps avoid visiting during peak hours.”

“I love Starbucks coffee. It's the best around, but that being said I had to start going somewhere else just because I get tired of sugar free vanilla syrup all the time, but that is all you have here where I live, but if you get the ones with sugar you will have a lot of options. I just wish you could have more sugar free syrups. Like dark chocolate and coconut and peppermint mocha. I'm sorry I had to go somewhere else, but sometimes I want something besides sugar free vanilla syrup. Thank you. The food is delicious but I had to do three stars because of the sugar free syrups..”
