“I recommend everything about this establishment. I made reservations, requesting a table arrangement for a group of women who get together once a month for lunch, and I couldn't have been more pleased. Our waitress, Kayla, did an outstanding job of catering to our every need, going over and beyond for us. The food was wonderful, and the portions were plenty. If anyone walks out, still hungry, somethings wrong. lol I'm sure our ladies will be going there again. Thank you Nikki, Kayla, and all who helped, for being so kind.“

“the homemade double cheeseburgers with their secret everything sauce are the best in the entire world. Their homemade root beer in a frosted mug is the best, and their big fat crinkle cut French fries are awesome!“

“Hostess and supervisor very rude and think it's okay to degrade a group of older women when all they did was ask for things that should have already been delivered to their table. I couldn't believe how condescending the hostess was to them! To say I'M NOT YOUR WAITRESS!!!! Wow. Then for the supervisor to laugh it off. Unprofessional and because of that, we will not be back.“

“We recently celebrated a special birthday at Global Gourmet and was more than delighted with the service, food and hospitality given to us by our waiter and owner. We spent several hours there and wish we lived closer to have dinners on a regular basis.“

“Played there today and after the rain they received early this morning the course was fabulous! Off the cart paths as well! Bunkers were perfect too! Highly recommend playing here!“

“I used to work at Culvers and we never disappointed in serving with a smile and helping good paying customers with their orders and complaints. Yes, there were issues every once and a while but what restaurant doesn't. I've eaten there several different times while off the clock or just on one of my off days and my food was always hot and never came out wrong, it's not special treatment, it's good service and being caring and compassionate about one another. <3“

“Food was good! I had the fish and chicken meal. Mac and cheese was decent, green beans was fire too. I ordered some sweet potatoes that I didn’t end up getting, I ain’t trippin tho. I’m sure they’re 🔥 too . Overall I definitely recommend. Oh yeah, the mild sauce was very good as well!“

“Just had our first carry out . Large supreme pizza & Italian Beef. Very pleased with what we had. Delicious!!! Highly recommend it. 😊“

“Don't come here if you are in a hurry. Because they are not. The parking lot was practically empty and only two tables were occupied when we arrived. We were there 25 minutes before they even dropped the country fried steak into the fryer. $5 for 3 small pieces of paper thin bacon. The gravy was cold. The group that came in much later than us had their food at the same time as us. Toilet paper in the back womens bathroom stall was not accessible. It seemed the latch that allowed that second roll to to be accessible when the first roll was gone was broken. The other toilet looked like it hadn't been flushed in some time. The eating area did appear cleanly. They did keep your coffee cup full.“

“Great waitress and food. Always enjoy all the TVs.“

“Excellent food and service.“

“Champs is a great fun family atmosphere. Great food and drinks! Everything is homemade So bring your family out and enjoy some homemade Chicken and Dumplings! Thay have specials 7 days a week #champs is a Great place so come on let's get some great food! See you there“

“Love this restaurant! The food is always excellent, the service is 5 Star, and the drinks are always good! Annie is so sweet, our meal isn’t complete without her checking on us and stopping by the table to see us!“

“The menu is novel and varied and very well presented. I thought it was too spice for my taste, but I do not say that as criticism, but just to provide perspective. My one critical comment is that I did not want the side dishes that came with my entre. The waiter suggested an alternative but did not tell me that there would be an up charge.“

“Flame is one of my favorite local restaurants. The ambiance is pleasant and the cocktails are good. All of their dishes are very well priced and everything tastes like it's made fresh. My go to is the lobster dip, crabcakes, and ribeye. They recently added creamed spinach as a side and it's very tasty.“

“Loved this went for the husband's birthday and had amazing food and service was amazing. Though we did go right when church was getting over so the place did fill up fast. Service was getting stressed out but our server did awesome even with all the tables she had.“

“My boyfriend and I stayed for a few nights at the hotel that’s connected to Manny’s. They have happy hour on select beer for 4-6, the best prices in town on drinks, slots, pool, and great customer service. Lindsey took care of us all night, and did a great job doing so. The place is super clean and taken care of. They currently don’t offer food, but have some great suggestions on food nearby. We loved the atmosphere, and plan on coming back!“

“First time at this Texas Road House. Great experience! Great food! Our server, Mandi was terrific!“

“Went with my family for supper tonight, was seated right away food was great. The reason for the 4 star review was the service. I ordered the country fried steak, it came with eggs hash browns and my choice of bread. I told my waitress I wanted biscuits and ask for butter. Then I added a order of biscuits and gravy also. when our food arrived I noticed the waitress had forgotten my biscuits that came with my country fried steak dinner. I was told they gave me biscuits with my gravy, when I asked about my biscuits n butter that came with my meal, I was told they put the biscuits with my gravy and only charged me for a bowl of gravy. When I ask why when I ask for biscuits and butter because it came with my meal (I wanted it for my eggs) I was told again She had giving me 2 biscuits. the waitress then held up 4 fingers and said you want 4 biscuits?? I said I want what came with my meal. Then again she held up 4 fingers and said if you want 4 biscuits I can bring you 4 biscuits at that point I was just fed up with the conversation and asked if I could please get some butter. The butter was cold and was not spreadable lol The entire time we were there we were not offered a refill on our drinks, two of our party of 4 finished half of there meal with no drinks. The food was really good just was really disappointed in the service.“

“My date and I thought the food was really good very fresh. My grilled chicken wrap was plenty for lunch the next day. Good size portions and good waitstaff. We had fun. We both recommend the Marion location.“

“We’ve drove over from Cape two times now and had excellent food and just as good service both times. The service was outstanding and everyone has been very friendly.“

“Went thru the drive thru, with pretty quick service! Friendly! Handed me my shake with my change. Pulled up to wait for my order, they bright it out hot, and correct! Everything was fresh on the steak burger. It was delicious!! Thanx from SC! We don’t have them down there, and it was perfect!“
