“Incredible Bacon Shrimp Pizza. Everything is made in-house. Great service, super clean, and quick. Definitely give them a try.“

“Me and my husband came in around 4pm so it was pretty empty. Our server was very sweet and attentive (I'm sorry I didn't get her name) and the cook, I think his name was Keith (?) had our food perfectly cooked and tasted absolutely delicious! Him and our server were amazing and the guy who helped us check out (think his name was braeden?) was very polite and quick when we got around to paying. Thank y'all so much! :)“

“We had the best experience because of the bartender, Emma! The General Manager that walked around didn’t seem very friendly or as engaging as the last one they had at this location years ago. He was very timid with employees and felt like a toxic work environment, but the bartender and servers provided great service!“

“Very nice! Straight as can be, juicy and proportionate portions. 7.5/10“

“Home of the butter burger. This family friendly restaurant also features premium meals such as the jumbo shrimp dinner that I ate, various sandwiches such as a reuben and various desserts.“

“Stopped by after a busy day of shopping. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. Our server Taylor did a really good job. No long wait for food to arrive. She was good about checking in with us to make sure we were happy.“

“Delicious food. Lovely staff.“

“Absolutely loved the cozy atmosphere and warm hospitality at Big Cheese Cafe, a Mediterranean family restaurant. The flavors were a delightful journey, each dish telling a story of tradition and care. A hidden gem for those craving an authentic taste of Turkey in a welcoming setting. We are returning each week knowing that they will not disappoint.“

“Been to Casey's a few times. The people are always very friendly, and the food is great!“

“We enjoy the Winder location for dinner and Sunday brunch and decided to try the Monroe location. We were looking forward to a nice evening out, but due to the service we won't be back to Monroe. The food was good, when we finally received it. We had a reservation and once we were seated, we waited 20 minutes for our server to come and greet us and ask for our drink order. No one came over until I went to the front counter to ask who our server was. The food arrived an hour after being seated. The atmosphere was loud and crowded. I much prefer the Winder location and we will only be going back there in the future.“

“1000/10! This place is always amazing! But today especially! Whoever took my order for Carly(Turkey Burger, Philly and wings)(7/6 @ 4:00ish) needs a raise! And whoever cooked it needs a double raise!!!! MY GOODNESS! Absolutely perfect! Chefs kiss! Thank you!!!“

“Awesome food and great atmosphere. Staff was super nice as well!“

“We have been to Philanthropy Grill & Ale House many times, and it is always a great time. The food is always amazing, and the people are very friendly. Highly recommended.“

“We have been traveling for the past few months from NC to Atlanta to the Shepherd Center to see family. We found this little jewel early on and always stop now. Hannah is an ah-mazing waitress and even though we don’t come often, remembers us and our drinks. Great food and true hometown feeling. Wish we lived closer!“

“This was my first visit to Pancake House. The food is good at Pancake House. You won't be disappointed. The service was exceptional. Our waitress was friendly and paid an appropriate amount of attention to our table without being overbearing or dismissive. I recommend a visit to experience it for yourself.“

“This was our first time at Cotton Calf Kitchen and we weren't disappointed. First of all, our server Lauren T. was one of the best servers we have ever been served by at any restaurant. The attention to detail was impeccable. The food presentation from the salad to the steaks was on point. We are moving to the area and this is a staple of why we are moving to the community. Well done!!“

“We chose Twenty7 for having our company Christmas party this year. The venue/space was perfect for us, the food was great, and the staff did an incredible job meeting all of our specific requests for the party. Highly recommend.“

“Hi I met Hux the bartender tonight and he’s my new favorite person. He’s so attentive and funny as heckies. WILL DEF go back. Great food too!“

“This is a great local restaurant that My family and I go all the time! It always has amazing food and even better people! Definitely recommended going here!“

“Awesome place to eat...the service was spot on and the food was great & the desserts are good as well! Nicely decorated and will be going back!“

“The restraunt was clean and dressed up for Halloween. We were seated right away, and had a server take our drink orders within a minute or two. Our drinks were brought out and the server asked if we were ready to order, or need more time. She came back in perfect timing, maybe two or three minutes later and took our order. The food came out within 10 minutes and was hot. I got a burger, she got a chicken sandwich, we were both very happy with the meal. She came by and checked on us a couple times, not too many or too few. We paid $34 for our sandwiches and Cokes. We'll worth it! One more note, we sat right by a table dressed with a white linen tablecloth. It was set and had a message for the fallen soldiers. The ketchup on the table had a Folds of Honor label on it, and so did the entrance to the restaurant. Thank you Top Dawg! We'll be back!“

“I had not eaten at Wayback since they had issues with a failed inspection a while back, but always enjoyed their good Carolina burger. Went back yesterday for the first time, and found that the burger is smaller, with prefab formed patties. While the chips were very good….I was disappointed with the burger based on previous experience. Sad because previously the Carolina was a great burger. Not sure if I will go back after this change.“

“My sister and I love going to Ruby Tuesday's in Winder, GA. Their food is excellent and Desiree always waits on us and she is the best. She is very attentive and makes sure our visit is great. They have the best spinach dip around and everything we have ordered has been excellent.“

“That was the best Turkey I’ve ever had!!!! The smoked turkey breast was the most moist turkey I’ve ever put in my mouth. Even the next day after heating it up in the microwave. I will definitely order again next year! Zero complaints 100% compliments!“

“I am very happy with sammie the waitress . As to she was given some problems with one of the customers , my mom. She handled it kindly and was very kind. The food was pleasant and had a good experience. Although the inside was cold . Thank you 😁“

“Buffalo's Cafe does a great job! We have done meetings there many times, and they always have great food and service!“

“The food is always amazing“

“Service was decent. Serving Size for the Roast beef dinner was tiny. Meat was very fatty and there was not enough to cover a piece of loaf bread.“

“The food was delicious. We were there to celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary. We got the clams and mussels for an app, shared a Caesar salad, and both got the sea bass which was phenomenal. Hubby had a Pinot Grigio and I had an espresso martini. Both were excellent. The manager, Cam, was wonderful and attentive, and our server, Maria was perfect - checked on us just the right amount! It was our first time but we’ll definitely be back ??“

“Beautiful decor, great service (Gabby was awesome!) great drinks and amazing food! Haven’t enjoyed this much of a complete dining experience in a long time! Will be back soon!“

“Idc about all the people saying that it's bad, I love my chicken tenders and grapes. The service was fantastic, my tenders were cooked to perfection. Don't get me started on the bread, it's my favorite part of the whole experience. 10/10 I DO recommend“

“November 2, 2024.
Return visit. Waitress was Liz, she was awesome.Ordered another BLT from the lunch menu, was perfect,(had no onions on it and Liz said the BLT doesn't come with onions on it.)
October 4, 2024.
Ordered a BLT from their lunch menu. I asked the waitress if it was only bacon, lettuce & tomato, nothing extra added. She said yes that was all. When it arrived there were raw onions on it. I pointed it out to her and she said that is the way they make them (the onions were not listed on the menu). She said if I send it back there would be a long wait to get it since they were busy. I picked them off (I HATE RAW ONIONS), there was also no mayo on it. I asked for some mayo, never got it. I also paid cash, I was to get back $1 and change, she never gave me back my change so that was her tip. There were 7 of us and I wasn't the only one that she messed up on. One of the guys, she had to go back and find his credit card.“

“We visited the restaurant to celebrate my daughters birthday, the service was very good, the food was delicious and served warm. The danishes were amazing for starter and I enjoyed the green tea with some non sweet flavors, the frittata, my daughter enjoyed the french toast with berries.“

“The staff is always friendly and the service is quick. Food is hot and delicious. Love this place!“

“Absolutely delicious! Plus my server was excellent 👌👍(Dave Matthews)“

“Friendly server, Lara, I believe. Food came out quick. It’s Waffle House. They are pretty much all the same.“

“Everyone here is great every time i come in!! No matter what, I'm always greeted and given the best service. my most recent time here, there was a young guy training on the grill and he wasnt too quick. It was busy and he and the server were getting stressed out but! Giving him a chance everyones food ended up being fantastic :) it was probably one of the best hashbrown bowls i've ever had.“

“Had a fantastic ladies luncheon with excellent delivery service from Cracker Barrel. The food arrived on time! The order was correct! The food was hot and tasty and enjoyed by all!“

“Best new year party I been apart of 🤘🏻“

“I love using Holy Smokes catering! I have used them a lot for lunchtime catering for customers and have never been happier. The food is exceptional!!! The meats (pork and chicken) are cooked perfectly and taste so delicious with their very own BBQ sauce. The Mac and cheese is the best that I have ever had and my customers say the same thing! The salad is always so fresh and the dressings are some of the best I’ve tasted. The Smokey flavored green beans are delicious and I always have more than one helping. My favorite dessert is their homemade brownies that are just like my grandma used to bake. They are always on time with their delivery and communicate so well when I reach out to them to order. The next event you have, call Holy Smokes and you will be thrilled. They also have the best quinoa bowls for the vegetarians in your party too!“

“I eat at this Waffle House 3 to 4 times a week. All of the staff is awesome: Candy, Preston, Jessica, Jackie always are attentive and check with me regularly. (I drink a lot of coffee) Food is great also“

“Yes I love our customers and my co-workers.“

“Excellent Big Daddy service“

“Bartender tonight was cool. Decent place to have a beer.“

“this Waffle House is very convenient to where we live we actually walked over. the food was exceptional great staff and cool Tunes playing. thank you to whoever was playing the Queen music. go Waffle House“

“I loooooooovve Jack's, honestly it's the best restaraunt in the whole area. Everything in here is good. We are originally from Miami, and love the atmosphere, and the vibes. Let me give you guys a little secret. The food on the menu is awesome, but the specials will have you coming 2x a week like we do. Don't walk, run.“

“Great service, great food and extremely fair prices, not to mention the drinks are really good! We go thee 3-4 times a week. I highly recommend it!“

“My husband and I went for a late lunch (around 2:30p), both of us got the Ribeye, broccoli & rice pilaf. The steaks were cooked well (med rare), but were a bit thin and WAY over-seasoned. The amount of salt & pepper on them was so much so that the black pepper was getting stuck in our teeth! And the salt content almost made me slightly nauseous...as im, my blood pressure went up, I could FEEL it, and I don't have BP health issues!
I know the joking 'stigma' about us 'unmelanated' folks feeling that 'salt is even too spicy for us', but that's definitely not the case with me -- I'll just say this: I have to turn down the offer of jalapeños in our cheese dip, but that's for everyone else at our table; this girl loves her spicy foods! So, with that being said; when BLACK PEPPER is burning your face off, well, that's because they put way too much black pepper on there. Steaks should have flavor, you shouldn't only taste the seasonings...what are they covering up? Why the flavor masking; what are they trying to HIDE?! Spices are meant to compliment the food, to enhance it's natural flavors...NOT to drown them and get stuck in your teeth. ?

Anyway, to make a longer-ish short post *even longer*: The food looked and smelled great, butnthe Ribeye was a bit skimpy in thickness and ALL of it, everything, was absolutely doused in salt and black pepper...?“
