“I was very hesitant about going into this establishment In Plano because I read two bad reviews when they first opened. Well let me just tell you people, i will recommend this restaurant to everyone. I could not believe the variety of food and appetizers and the great prices. Not only was the cashier Anna so friendly, attentive and just so kind but the cook jose knows what he's doing in the kitchen. Let me just tell you.I know what good cooking is. I'm not the type of person who eats at such places. Such as Little Caesars or taco, bell or Burger King. I'm very picky about my pizza.I want to chicago style pizza. I want gyro off the spit. I want the high quality brand of italian beef. I want a real grill tasting big hamburger. I want flavorful chicken fingers with the the juiciest best meat. I want meat on a chicken wing, not filled with fat. I love a place that has appetizers that not only are delicious but you can't find them anywhere else.Such as the deep fried okra, that I got. This place was amazing from top to bottom. It was clean, it is family friendly and the food is just wonderful.And you can't beat the prices. There was four of us who went in there. Of course, I had to get the fried okra. One of us got a double burger which was huge, by the way, and it was a combo meal for only $12.99. One of us got
The wings with fries and the wings were huge and meaty. He couldn't even finish them. My niece got the chicken fingers.
Which she could not finish. I tried one of them and they were full of flavor and so meaty and juicy. I do, however think that they should make their own ranch dressing.Instead of the packets and i've had better fries, but all in all o my gosh, this is our new spot. I can't wait to try everything on the menu. Which will probably take me a year because of the variety. In my opinion culvers, Tasteee bite which, by the way, I worked for 4 a decade in the kitchen, which I used to brag about. But their prices are too high. So for those of you who have not tried, there's baba's famous steak and lemonade.You must try. My niece also got a watermelon lemonade that was a slushy
And it was so good. I've been to many restaurants and fast foods throughout my life. And this by far, it's one of the best. I took pictures of the food but I can't figure out how to add the pics to this post. But trust me, when I tell you, you must try this place.And I guarantee you will wanna go back. And don't forget to tip. Every establishment needs an Anna.“

“Great food, great people!“

“PSA to paddlers: They do have a canoe/kayak launch, but it doesn't look like it's been used in years and consists of very steep, narrow, rotting steps that are dicey to maneuver. We did manage to get a canoe and four kayaks down to launch there but I wouldn't recommend it. Probably better to launch from the bridge at Highway 52 (although I have no personal experience there).“

“Food was excellent. They were busy and the waitress let us know the wait for food might be a little longer. We didn't notice any delay. Five of us ate and were very pleased with the appetizers and entrés, steaks, burger and mac and cheese. Highly recommend.“

“My family had such a great experience having breakfast here. The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was amazing. My husband and teenage son especially loved the All You Can Eat Biscuits & Gravy. We can't wait to come back again on our next vacation.“

“I like the gyros 🥙 and the service is good“

“We had such a wonderful experience at Yorkville Café yesterday morning. Our waitress, Jacqueline, was incredible: kind, attentive, & refreshingly honest. When we asked about the Chai Tea, she admitted she never tried it there before, so she brought, us samples so we could try it ourselves! She even made our daughter’s hot chocolate look like “coffee,” complete with a perfect whipped-cream design that made her eyes light up. We loved the chai so much we took some to go! Go try it please! The owners, Matt & Hannah, also created such a sweet moment for our daughter. She was talking about how excited she was to build a Grinch tree with her Dad & they could see how much it meant to her. They added a little personal touch to her project something thoughtful and unexpected. It was such a genuine act of kindness. The food was fantastic, my husband’s corned beef hash was to die for & the Cream Cheese French toast my daughter & I shared absolutely hit the spot. I don’t know about you guys, but it’s hard to find places that truly make you feel cared about that has good food on top of it! Yorkville Café really set the tone for an awesome day for our family. We’ll never forget this experience & we will definitely be returning.“

“Loved it. I got the butter burger and was so delicious. I love that they bring the food right out to our table. The place was clean and even though it was a crowded night the staff had it all together and made sure to be kind and pay attention to the orders“

“My family and I come to Last Chance very often. My husband and I went for our anniversary this last May because the bartenders, establishment and food have always been phenomenal. The girls who work there go above and beyond when my small kids are with us and we really do love spending time there. This last Thursday someone was working who I had not seen before.. and to say the least I thought she was very rude. I was almost embarrassed because we had friends in town and were so excited to show them our new favorite spot. She said she would not take our food order outside, we had to go in and get our own drinks, and when food came out I had to grab it from her as she made no effort to come down the ramp and set it down at our table. I’m not one to complain but I really wasn’t impressed with the bluntness and cold shoulder attitude. I think her name was Alexis. We will be back, as I really can’t say enough how great this place is. I really hope it was a fluke.“

“We celebrated our son’s first birthday here over the weekend and it was truly perfect from start to finish. The space is absolutely beautiful, with the most amazing view of the river. The food was incredible! I tried every single item on the buffet and loved all of it. And the staff… just wonderful. The ladies were so welcoming, attentive, and genuinely kind, which made us and our guests feel so comfortable and cared for the entire time. We are so grateful for such a lovely experience and will absolutely be back. But next time we’ll be back to enjoy a peaceful brunch without also hosting 25 people 🤣 Highly, highly recommend!“

“Came here for the first time with my fiance a few days ago. We are new to the area. Definetly will be returning! The cheese curds are SO good. A very nice environment. The staff is SO nice and friendly. Our waitress had her 2 little girls with her helping out, it was the sweetest thing.“

“I’ve been coming here when I would visit my family since before I moved to the area, and of course, I receive the same fantastic experience, now. That is about 19 years of satisfaction and a smile I have walking in the door. I have always been impressed with the friendliness and how accommodating the staff is, the dinners-delicious, and over all atmosphere- wonderful.“

“Great menu and soups and chili“

“We just left GRACE and loved it!!.. From the cozy atmosphere to the coffee and food!.. Everything is top notch and then the owner chef sent us home with complimentary soups to go!!.. So wonderful thank you very much!!!..I would recommend to anyone to go here!.. it’s great! We will be back!!..☕️❤️🥰“

“We rented the room here for a baby shower. Pablo and his staff were amazing to work with. They were so attentive and always asking if we needed anything. Food was great, room was perfect size for our needs. They really went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of! So if you are looking for a small event space, don’t hesitate to go to Lakeview! We were so impressed from the room, food and service that were provided! Thank you for making this day even more special!“

“Breakfast Tacos! I come from Yorkville to have these! Owners are sooooo nice!“

“My hubby and I are from Charlotte NC and stopped in while visiting our family. Loved the fast friendly service and the food is awesome!! We will be back.“

“Best beef rolls and pizza! Our go to place!“

“I would say that this is a good Culver's...But it pales to the Culver's at 6 miles cypress in Fort Myers Florida...In the Fort Myers location you can actually taste the butter in the Butterburgers ! Boy they are delicious...You might want to send someone there to learn their secrer.. Just saying...If you are a snowbird check it out!“

“Just found the perfect place for chicken livers“

“A hidden gem that has the best burgers the best prices and the best hospitality around. Tuesdays are the go to day for us .Cheeseburger fries and a few frosted cold tap beer for around 10 bucks. Best kept secret around. The burgers are the real deal Not those froze patty’s you might find at your local grocery store. The fry’s are hot and crispy and the beer is super cold. What also sets this gem apart is the extremely friendly service we get from the waitress Dafina. She’s the bomb! Always greets you with a happy and friendly demeanor. She goes above n beyond the call of duty to assure you are well taken care of. Most times you will see the owners on sight too. Great people who have been doing this job for more years than I could count. Stop in and come hungry, I promise you will leave happy and full. And just maybe you might meet a new friend?“

“Had thee best time visiting Crusade Burger Bar for the first time last weekend! Drove an hour and 20 minutes after seeing the February Shake of the Month. A friend of mine has shared your posts frequently over the years and myself and my partner had to come experience it for ourselves! Josh was an excellent and attentive server. My favorite band (Linkin Park) played almost the entire time from the playlist chosen. Food was amazing! 10/10 would recommend! I wish you guys would have had merch to purchase! Josh hooked us up with a couple of stickers though which was super cool! Will be back again!“

“Ok, I was there for the Halloween Party and it was so much fun, That DJ you had there was just Awesome!! He had everyone dancing. All night, I believe, his name was Keith, Roadhouse your very lucky to have him, The drinks were awesome and service was great.“

“Went there for the first time. The wings were delicious. Cheese curds were delicious. Food came quick and staff was very friendly. Definitely going back.“

“If you have lots of free time waiting. On the waitstaff and don’t need refills. This place is it hands down. Been over 40 years since I stopped in. Wish genes chicken was open on mondays“

“Peggy was our waitress. She is so friendly. Definitely will be back. This was our first time there. She is a very hard worker. I think she deserves a raise. We loved her!!“

“Great food- great local business run by local people who create a great community atmosphere“

“Cool bowling area and bar area. Fun with kids.They have a dining area. They have 2 pool tables and a dart board inside the dining area. Food was good. Bingo on Wed nights was fun for the whole family. Bowling is hard to get into. Between the leagues and events we’ve went 4 times in the past 2 weeks and only got in one time. No reservations are taken so keep this in mind if you are going specifically for bowling. Funway is far but is a good option for bowling with many more lanes. Yorkville needs an additional bowling alley it seems.“

“We went and their large sushi menu, they has none of that available. Most of their appetizers that were on their menu they did not have. I had to ask for plates and silverware after our appetizer had come out quickly. We have been here before and our experience was much better the first time than the second time (a year apart).“
