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

“We have not been eating out as much as possible since the Coronavirus pandemic and tonight we decided to venture out with our masks on to pick up a quick family dinner after working all day. I was so impressed with the young mans customer service at the register (who was behind a plexiglass partition) and with the safety measures and social distancing they are enforcing. Only 2 people inside at a time and you wait outside for your order to be called over a speaker. Food was GREAT! Wings were super crispy and delicious! The price and the amount of food I received was a surprise! More than enough to feed our family of 5! Highly recommend! Great job guys 👏🏼! And they were packed with orders coming in and going out!“

“I went to see the show for my very first time and the experience was absolutely amazing. The staff was super friendly and helpful. It was clean and well organized. They had several different options for souvenirs. They offered a bar selection and brought everything right to you. You even get to keep the glass. The show was amazing and kept my attention. At the end of the show the King and Queen even came out and took pictures with us. I definitely recommend Medieval Times for a family, and friends.“

“This location has to be one of my favorite places that I have visited. Brandy the Manager is absolutely amazing… always has a friendly smile and always greeted me like I was family. My favorite server was Jess… once she got to know me, I didn’t even have to tell her my order because she always remembered everything and the way I wanted it….. the food was absolutely delicious… always was hot and just the perfect amount. Brandy, Jess, Sherry,Christina & Holly became my extended family which was just an awesome bonus! These ladies are just absolutely amazing!!!“

“Culver’s is awesome! I made one phone call to the store to say I was bringing my walking club Kids and they were more than happy to provide us with ice cream! Love this place!“

“Great Gwinnett 1818 Club is the best“

“Edith, our server, gives outstanding service. She is extremely personable and entertaining as well as a good server.“

“Had good time playing dart tournament. It’s been years since played but I will be back“

“We went to Local Republic on the recommendation that there was a gluten free / allergy free environment. Come to find out it wasn't as friendly in the sense of having separate food prep for people with these sensitivities. However, the food was great for what we ordered. I got the chicken spring salad, my daughter got the chicken club and others in my party opted for the burger. Overall, presentation is beautiful and the food was good. We were seated across from the kitchen / bar so it was a bit loud amd busy at our area but have gone in the past and sat in quieter areas this was just because we went on a Sat night. Overall it was a good experience and I'd go back for a quick dinner if in the area.“

“Service is always excellent as is the food. I have never been disappointed.“

“This was the best brunch food I’ve had in a long time, by fair. I had the cheesecake French Toast, veggie omelette and creamy grits. Delicious!!!“

“We live in Monroe and love eating at our many delicious restaurants. However, Legends Grill is the one restaurant we'll drive in annoying traffic, 30+ minutes away because the food is so delicious. We love the burgers and french dip sandwhiches. It's a must visit.“

“Amazing Food Customer friendly and very clean. Best Doner in town“

“We ordered the chopped steak, grilled salmon, and grilled chicken sandwich with mushrooms. The meat is very good quality and cooked just right. Plenty of real mushrooms, onions, and gravy. The portions are good too, I’m full. I am saving the sandwich for later but it looks great!“

“Bite More is easily a 5/5 for me. The atmosphere and service are both top tier every time I’ve come. I’ve been here a few times and everything I’ve tried has been really good. The Mac Attack loaded fries are amazing, the lemon pepper wet wings are solid, and the garlic parmesan wings are just as good. But the Truffle Shuffle burger? Hands down the best burger I’ve ever had. Definitely a spot I’ll keep coming back to. I’ve been to both of their locations and so far both have been great.“

“One of the best restaurants in the area.“

“What a treat. Great service. Best breakfast food I've had in a long time. and the biscuits! wow!“

“My go-to place for breakfast! Definitely the only place to go for country-fried steak. I order a huge breakfast, enjoy my fill, then take the rest home for the next couple of days. So good1“

“Great live music on the patio!! 😎🎶“

“I have gotten take out from here 5 times and each time my order has been wrong. Whenever I complain I "might" get an I'm sorry. With prices as high as they are I should have been compensated or something. Not sure if I will go back.“

“The food and service is amazing!!“

“My family and I had the best time on Saturday night here! We’d never been but were invited to join by a friend who performs there sometimes- lead singer of “The Unknown”! The service was amazing, the jams were jamming!! We went thinking we’d stay an hour and we stayed 4 hours! The drinks were flowing, service was awesome (Go Stretch) and the band made it an entire vibe. We can’t wait to go back next time they perform!“

“Outstanding Food and Overall Experience! - Reservation for 8 to celebrate my youngest daughter's birthday (4:30 on a Friday). We almost changed our mind, because we learned my oldest daughter and her hubby had a bad experience at this restaurant in 2021. So glad we gave it another chance. Restaurant is under new management, and it shows! From the greeters at the door with smiles making a first impression, to a personable, attentive server (LeLe), excellent food and engagement by the manager being visible and interacting with guests - it was well worth our time. Total enjoyment! Our group had the snapper, salmon, shrimp & grits, catfish and one vegetarian who made a meal from the sides. Food was beautifully plated and presented and everything was hot & fresh, well seasoned and tasted great. Generous portions too. We also had the bourbon glazed brussels, skillet cornbread and the sticky ribs as appetizers. HIGHLY recommend the brussels and the ribs!! It was the first day testing the ribs, so you may have to ask for them, if they're not on the menu yet. Appreciated the free birthday dessert! If you had a previous bad experience over the last couple of years, you may want to try again. The new manager has the right attitude and a good vision for setting a new standard for The Parkside District. Keep it up! We will definitely visit again. We are glad to recommend the restaurant!“

“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.“

“The food was delicious. We enjoyed the shared platter of chicken and waffles, the egg skillet and the kale, pear and cranberry salad. Our server Eliana was awesome! She was hospitable and knowledgeable about food and drinks.

The amosphere was nice and although it wasnt crowded at 130pm on Sunday, we were seated in the back near the restrooms which was rather dark. Other than that, everything was great and we would gladly visit again!“

“My mom and I came here on a very hot day, not knowing what to expect. Our hostess seated us immediately and our server Dani was incredibly professional and sweet. She made sure the correct drinks, appetizers, and entrees arrived promptly, and checked in on us periodically to make sure we didn’t need anything else. We both had the Caesar salad. My mom then had the Bacon Cheddar Crispy Chicken Sandwich while I had the Shrimp 'N Parmesan Sirloin. Overall, 10/10 and will be coming back!“

“Ordered 10 jumbo wings and fries, wings were tiny and far from jumbo... about the size of my thumb. Paid $16.95 just for the "jumbo" micro wings.“

“Sadly this business has closed. I have been by a few times in the last couple weeks and they appear to be permanently closed.
Sad to see another good restaurant leave the area.
This pic is from 6:30 on a Friday night 😔“

“My experience started off rocky, I was sat but Noone ever came to greet me, even though there were tables being actively served all around me. Luckily a seat opened up at the bar so I moved over there, where the bartender Daniel did a great job! I was there to enjoy a bite to eat while watching the game and even as closing approached I never felt rushed.“

“😃Shout out to Trish at Sonny's ... great service and good food.“

“Second time visiting this restaurant, just as good as the first time. The service is always perfect. The worker who provides you with the food always makes sure that your order is correct. I hope this place keeps up the great service and the tasty food !“

“Used Eagles Landing to cater our daughter’s wedding and it was simply amazing. Judy is so easy to work, great communication and very accommodating. They offered more food for much less than any other caterer! The staff that worked the event were kind, helpful and personable. Heard so many compliments about the food and staff. Would definitely hire them again! Thank you Judy and the entire staff!“

“So good food family business so the food is fresh and it’s so niceee“

“Best cafe around town. I work across the street and have been eating here forever. The chef’s special is a great deal for under $10 (see photos for how much food they give you!), very high quality, and with Jittery Joe’s coffee. Not to mention the staff is very professional, accommodating, and their kindness makes the place feel like a small town cafe. Worth going through the metal detectors!“

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

“The food, service, and owner are incredible!

You can see how much passion they pour not only in the food but the community! I got the soul plate they have on Wednesdays and it was delicious

Definitely will come back again and again to support when I’m in the area. 🫶🏽“

“Jamie and Jordan are great and friendly servers, so helpful and fun. Will come back as these ladies are my all time favorites“

“I was pleasantly surprised. I ordered a half rack of ribs and that's what I got. The only ribs that taste better than theirs, are the ones that I make at home.😂 I also tried their chicken and brisket and those were just as good❤ I haven't eaten on the inside so I can't tell you anything about the atmosphere. The peach cobbler is fantastic and they are very generous with it. The coleslaw was good - not too sweet and not over creamy. The the ONLY thing I didn't like was a Mac & chz. Theirs was too salty so I threw that away. Five out of six ain't too bad. Sorry I forgot to take photos. I was hungry. I will return.“

“Rita at checkout is fabulous! Always happy, super fast and THE friendliest! Shes always there and I LOVE that when checking out! Always a pleasure to WANT to come back in to eat and shop! Rita knows where everything is so I can just ask her and she shows me right away! Makes MY life easier!“

“We ate lunch here after church today, 12/14/25. Service was great from the front door until we left. Our waiter, Michael B was friendly and patient with our 7 member party’s special requests. Awesome job Michael 🙌“

“Applebee’s has always been my go‑to spot, and honestly, it never disappoints. The food hits the mark every time, whether I’m in the mood for something hearty, something quick, or something a little indulgent. Their menu has a way of giving you exactly what you didn’t even realize you wanted. And the drinks? They’re not just good—they’re excellent. Applebee’s really knows how to mix something that sets the tone for a relaxed night out, whether it’s one of their signature cocktails, a cold beer, or a simple drink done right.

One of the things I appreciate most is the deals. Applebee’s always seems to have some kind of special running, whether it’s discounted appetizers, drink promotions, or combo meals that make it easy to enjoy a full night out without spending too much. It’s the kind of place where you can walk in with a plan or just show up and let the menu guide you.

I’ve visited several Applebee’s locations, and each one has given me a consistent experience—friendly service, a comfortable atmosphere, and food that tastes just as good as the last time I ordered it. Even though I haven’t been to every location, the ones I have visited make me feel like I’ve seen almost all of them. There’s a familiar vibe no matter where you go, and that’s part of what keeps me coming back.

Applebee’s isn’t just a restaurant for me; it’s a reliable place to unwind, enjoy great food, sip excellent drinks, and take advantage of deals that make the night goes smooth as possible“
