We love the fried pickles , pretzel bites ,fried mushrooms , mozzarella sticks and Spinach & artichoke dip with flat bread . We will definitely be trying more soon . Oh and to not forget the blonde brownie with ice cream 🍨 To die for ! The warm gooey goodness with the nuts are out of this world. .“

“Service with a smile, good food..“

“Ok Starting with the Important stuff first... This seems to be a fairly busy location so we had to set and wait for a few minutes as you do in any WH on the 2 Sunday mornings we were in the area and so as I typically do I people watch, and while doing so I watched this wonderful Personality greet every soul that walked in the door and again as they left with the deepest sincerity leaving a smile on each face as she did so, & then she would pick up her broom and attend to the Table preparing it for the next guest giving attention to every little detail of how the next person would find it. Someone from the Corporate office should use her as a training model for whatever position she has and Incorporate it into all of your locations. I have only ever seen one other and it is in Central Florida and they were no where near her level of attention and personality. Terri if you see this I appreciated what you do and wish to see it in more WH Locations across the country. As to the rest of the staff and Location... It was also all well above what I expect when I go to WH (Which we do a lot all over the south east). Store was exceptionally clean, everyone was attentive and outgoing and food was prepared perfectly. I will look forward to visiting this location when I am in town.“

“The food was delicious and the service was amazing. I highly recommend Chat & Choo! Great place and friendly staff!!“

“this is our go to spot for wings! so many different flavors. we never had an issue here. we've been here several times delicious! The only thing is they have celery not carrots.. which is ok, my husband eats it but not me. I would like to recommend carrots instead of just celery“

“good food and service! Mary was awesome!!!!“

“My Family and I recently visited Jefferson’s for the 1st time, after living up here for 2 years! The food was amazing, everything was fresh, and it came out within 15 minutes of ordering! The manager Melissa greeted us, and made sure everything was ok. Our waitress Lexi was just beautiful, and very attentive to our needs. We ordered fried mushrooms , a must try, onion rings, wings, and the kids had chicken finger baskets they could have been seasoned more, but besides that our food was delicious! Oh… and I had a Tequila Sunrise , and they don’t skimp on the liquor, if you know what I mean, lol! We are planning to go back on a Tuesday for Bingo night! 10 / 10 highly recommend!“

“We had a group of 7 crazy senior women. Our server, Carson was amazing with us. He was a presonable, professional and friendly young man. Our food was wonderful. We would like to try everthying on the menu. We will definitely be back.“

“Any time we dine in we get great and accurate service. We have also phone ordered carry out several times. EVERY TIME they forget to include our cold items. 2 times our Potato Salad was forgotten in our order. When we tried to call back the store had already closed so will have to hope we can get it next day.“

“We’ve lived in Villa Rica for three years and our friends been telling us about Cinema Tavern. We finally went a couple weeks ago. We’ve been back three more time. Great atmosphere service was great. Food was delicious. Coming from working in the Film business on going to a place with a film theme. Definitely our new favorite spot in town.“

“I have been to many Waffle House restaurants and this one is by far the best. The cook is the best around.“

“It’s a great Waffle House with a friendly staff.“

“First time at longhorns, (I know), I was brought here by seeing that Mac and cheese on TikTok! Wanted to try and a good steak. Well needless to say it was worth the hype, some people say they don’t like the Mac and cheese, I say it’s really good! The breadcrumbs and bacon DO MAKE it better! I wanted a steak that was juicy and not too small( I have it medium rare), so I got the Flos filet,( 9 oz) and it was Perfect size ! ( I was scared it might be too small) but no it was perfect ! Very tender and perfect medium rare. The bread was good too with the butter ! Our server was very helpful and nice as well. I would rate this an 8/10! Would come back. Thank you longhorns for this experience! And fellow people scrolling through the reviews wondering if you should eat here, DO IT!“

“Whether you're looking for a nice lunch spot or are planning a big gathering, this place can help. The hams are always awesome quality, the smoked turkey breast is great even for someone who might not be a fan of turkey. This is definitely where you want to get your main dishes from for holidays, but it's also a great place to grab a sandwich during lunch or to take home. Their honey mustard is so good, it's sweet with a little kick in it. 🤌🏽“

“Update your menu to the correct prices!!!!!“

“Every time we visit the grand kids in Bremen we stop at this Waffle House. We have always gotten great and excellent service no matter how busy they were with a side of humor. We’ve been to different places Wafflehouses when we travel, but this is the best one we’ve been to.“

“awesome service and amazing bacon on my BLT... Definitely will be back ... Highly recommend 💯💯💯💯“

“This restaurant is the best it’s ever been, new craft menu, remodeled , new furniture , clean great atmosphere! If you haven’t been, you need to check it out. 10/10 🔥“

“Wow! What a wonderful experience my husband and I had this evening! As soon as we walked into the restaurant, I noticed how impeccably clean it was! Counters were clean and floors were swept. Upon ordering, I noticed the kitchen look very neat and orderly. The kitchen staff was on point serving two hot and fresh platters. The portions were nice and we were so pleased to receive tons of those delicious crunchy bites! Our order was taken with a smile and all questions were answered politely. The drink station was free of debris and all the tables were wiped down. So refreshing! I noticed that the floors were frequently swept while we were eating. It was such a pleasant experience we will definitely make this restaurant a top 5 go to. The staff is to be commended! Great service and hot and fresh food! 👏“

“My coworkers are always raving about Triple 3 Wings so today I gave them a shot and everything tasted so fresh! Will definitely be back to try more of the menu out.“

“Captain D’s in Villa Rica is a solid spot when you’re in the mood for fast, affordable seafood. The fish is always crispy and hot, and I really enjoy the hush puppies and seasoned green beans as sides. Their variety of meal options — from grilled to fried — gives you a little flexibility depending on what you’re craving.

The staff is usually friendly, and the service is quick, which makes it a good choice for lunch or a casual dinner. The dining area is clean and quiet, making it a nice break from the usual fast-food hustle.

On the downside, it’s not the place for super fresh or gourmet seafood — it’s more comfort food-style. The portion sizes can vary a bit, and like most fast food spots, it can be hit or miss depending on the time of day.

Overall, it’s a reliable choice if you want classic fried seafood in a quick and easy setting.“
