Restaurants in Decatur

“Good beer, had the Angry Guy Pilsner… it was excellent!”

“Use the Nelson location repeatedly at work for lunch catering. Monica is professional, easy to work with and a great help when determining menus and quantity for a specific number of people. Highly recommend and the cookies are an added plus!!! 🍪🩷”

“BEST PIZZA IN TOWN. STORE AND EMPLOYEES WERE CLEAN, POLITE SERVICE. PIZZA HAD AMAZING FLAVOR. WE LIKE THE DOUBLE THIN CRUST. YOU WONT BE DISSATISFIED AND YOU CAN ENJOY EATING IT KNOWING ITS FROM A TRUSTED SOURCE. THE LAST PIZZA I GOT FROM SOUTH SHORES WAS MADE WITH ROTTEN TOPPINGS. FOR NOW ON WE WILL ONLY ORDER FROM DELCARMENS.”

“On our recent visit the food was very good and the service was great. We are a bit disappointed that bread is no longer available and neither are baked potatoes apparently. However the salmon and sirloin steak were delicious and we will return.”

“In Decatur for the first time and checked out TapRoot. Thanks to Kaytlyn H for making a great experience. The food was great. Top notch Manhattan and Bloody Mary. Thanks again for the wonderful service.”

“From the appetizer to main course the food was fantastic and the waitress was superb. The spinach artichoke was some of the best we’ve ever had, we both ordered the Delmonico steaks were cooked to perfection, don’t let the prices scare you worth every penny. This restaurant rivals any from our home state of Arkansas”

“Great Food and Great Service!”

“As always Olive garden was delicious
I had never ending soup and salad and the gnocchi soup and salad and bread sticks were spot on. We had a large group and our waiter was fabulous !”

“They always have a special to eat, nothing more and its perfect. Todd is a great cook! The atmosphere is fantastic. I love coming here. They have great live music occasionally too! Bartenders are wonderful...Shayla is amazing🥰 i come here often.”

“Best service and good food. It’s Friday night and not packed. It should be!! You NEED to get in here and try out some good Mexican food with great service!! Every single server my lady and I have had has been great!!”

“Had a very nice Ribeye steak dinner this evening at The Sport Zone. We also sampled the Rib Tips. On Mondays they have Rib Tips and Fries for $5 and they are very good. Everything was delicious, reasonably priced and the service was great.”

“We finally had them and we are blown away. The cake was amazing. Frosting and filling were heavenly. We can’t wait to try more things.”

“Food is delicious, great portions, and prices!”

“Great little dive bar with really good daily specials on booze and good and cheap cheeseburgers. They have music every now and then which is cool. Sometimes it gets busy and service can lag behind but they bust their butts trying to get to everyone.”

“Molly and Emma were absolutely amazing. Both of their Irish jig dances where exceptional and should become a routine event to not only boost employee morale but customer satisfaction. While their faces might have been beat red after being peer pressured into doing it. It made my morning and put a smile on everyone’s face. Service was fast and coffee was exceptional.”

“Love the food, service is excellent and the people are friendly. One thing puzzles me though. Both the Mid Week special and the Family Feast have the same base: Spaghetti, Torpedo and Garlic bread. The Mid Week special comes with Cinnamon Bread which is free, so you're just paying for the base. The Family Feast comes with a quart of soda which is not indicated as free, so you're paying for the base plus the soda. Why does the Mid Week special cost more?”

“Food is decent, not exceptional. A bit overpriced for what it is.”

“Gary is awesome and the food is just as good! The BBQ sauce on the pulled pork is some of the best I’ve ever had and the Fried bologna was super too. He even brought out some lemon pepper catfish to try and it was great too and I hate fish! Awesome place to grab a bite before the show at the Devon.”

“all of their food is absolutely good fast friendly service eager to please not sure what happened on the Italian beef but for me kind of messed up my stomach but that could be me personally but I would definitely recommend 100% to everybody love this place I go there two three times a week”

“we are not a restaurant.. lol”

The employees are always bright and cheery and that's been the case every trip for the last 13+ years. I used to live across the street and I visited often back then. We moved about 10 years ago and now whenever I'm in the area I have to stop for a tea. Today was one of those days and the tea was the perfect like always! Thank you Coffee Connection!”

“Ordered the 60z steak that they charged $45.00. Half the steak was all fat. Orders grilled shrimp on side they was not cooked from inside still cold inside must have taken en it out of freezer n dropped in pan. They must not have had a chef since did not know that the $45.00 6oz steak was all fat n maybe had like 3bites might as well go to Macdonald nasty steak for such high price”

The only downside, and it could've been an oversight by the cook, we ordered the pepperjack cheese balls for an appetizer. When the order arrived there were 13 cheeseballs. That's a small serving for $10 in my opinion. Will definitely be back.”

“I live 5 minutes away from Friendly's and I go for breakfast so this review is concernd with breakfast only. I have gone for 2+ years of typical 2x a week for breakfast. I go early in the 6:15 to 6:30a range. My awesome Lissa, who opens 7 days a week is a phenomenal waitress and she makes the best bloody mary per my request. I have basically 2 menu items I do order from. But typically I get #12. Half order of biscuits and gravy, fried red potatoes, 2 sausage patties and 2 eggs over medium. Everything is smothered in jalapenos and I douse with redhot. I take 1/2 home for another meal. I can not say enough how good everything is, the service provided and having ample leftovers for a second meal.”

“Wonderful people trying to help the disabled & seniors. Many of us are both. Having happily volunteered in the past to deliver meals on holidays, I understand how stressful this can be for some. Thx all you volunteers.I have many food allergies due to an autoimmune disease & appreciate the problems this can cause in the kitchen & offices.Everyone here gets it right an amazing 98% of the time except for the green+black eyed peas & lima beans which I just don't eat. Sometimes I can freeze them to give to someone who needs them so they don't go to waste. Except, no homeless coming by to give them to so far this year. Could you please pray for our homeless whether they are still with us or not?”
