“I love Freddy’s steak burgers. I don’t eat burgers often but have to get Freddy’s when I am passing through. Pearlie from Chicago“

“My friend and I went to O'Charley's in Marion, Il, and had a great time from the minute we walked in until we left. The food was very good, and the service was, too. Our waiter, Ayden, made it a very entertaining time for us, and made us feel special. If they have an employee of the month there, we nominate him for sure! Thanks for a wonderful time!“

“The crab legs were very good. The service was incredible. She was working by herself dealing with all you can eat Crab leg hungry people with a smile and keeping up on when we were ready for more. She was handling the bar, the tables and the patio. We were very impressed with her!! We’ll definitely be back.“

“The quality of our local steak and shakes have significantly improved along with the staff. Much cleaner, tastes better, and even seems more filling than it used to. On top of that the new company policies like banning microwaves, beef tallow for their fried goods, and grass fed beef for the burgers. It went downhill a while ago but I can definitely say it has done a complete 360 and has honestly been one of our families favorite quick fast food locations now. Definitely better than McDonald's.“

“I recently visited the Applebee's in Marion, Illinois, and wanted to recognize an employee named Tom, who I believe works in the back of the restaurant. When I asked our waitress about him, she mentioned that he was the manager.

Tom went above and beyond during our visit. Not only did he personally bring our food out to our table both times when our waitress was busy, but he also took the time to greet us, check on how our meals were, and make sure we were having a good experience.

His friendly attitude, genuine kindness, and willingness to help did not go unnoticed. It's always refreshing to see someone who clearly cares about both the customers and the team around him. Tom helped make our visit enjoyable, and I wanted to make sure his excellent customer service was recognized.

Thank you, Tom, for making us feel welcome. We'll definitely be back!“

“10 star for service and a kind soul**********. Today I went to this DQ to make an order that broke my heart. That being a pup cup but with added fudge. That sounds odd to most as it did for the drive thru worker. I believe she may have reached out to the manager and as I repeated the order, he said a child’s ice cream would be more for your money.. all I had to say was, it’s for my old pups last treat. Without hesitation or anymore questions, he said “I got you”, “I fully understand and have it taken care of”, needless to say, I start crying because I knew that he knew the heartbreak I was going through. He spoke such kind understanding words when I pulled up and even got my little Luckia a small serving of just fudge that she could lap up. I sadly didn’t catch his name but I wanted to reach out and tell him Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making my hard decisions a little less heartbreaking. I’d add a pics of her enjoying it but doesn’t allow the option.“

“I pulled into drive thru, was told it would be a 10 to 15 minute on a cheeseburger wait because they make everything fresh and there was already one car ahead of me. I said that would be fine and she seemed annoyed. I pulled ahead to wait after paying, sat for about 9 minutes. No big deal. Took the cheeseburger to my fiance for lunch break and they doused it in ketchup and mustard, threw a ridiculous amount of pickles on it, and got condiments all over the wrapper. Ketchup and mustard literally plopped off the wrapper in clumps. Not pictured: the ketchup and mustard on the top and bottom buns soaked almost all the way through the bun. Seems like they were annoyed I didn't leave rather than wait so they'd show me I guess? Anyways, fiancé didn't get to eat in lunch break and I called back to back 4 times and let the phone ring for over a minute each time. Very poor customer service.“
