“What a great place! I played on a friday night and everything from the staff to the food was awesome. Hope to be back sometime!“

“Fast service at a reasonable cost“

“We had 5 people in our party and everyone order something different and there were no complaints just compliments and lip smacking. I order the ribs and they were delicious, fall off the bone tender. Sauce was just right not to sweet or spicy. Our waitress was phenomenal, she was super good and attentive, with a wonderful personality!!“

“Had the prime rib and it was fantastic! The view was great and the service was amazing. All around great restaurant.“

“Their food is great! Their servers, bartenders and staff are amazing! The atmosphere is relaxing. We had a 50th bday gathering there and they did a great job of accommodating such a large group . Entertainment on the patio was Peck N Frey, and they're always great! . Thanks again!“

“I have eaten there a few times, it's ok. Had a two-piece chicken dinner the chicken looked like it was malnourished or maybe a fat pigeon. Had the strawberry pie it was a Jello type pie which I didn't care for.“

“I have enjoyed dining at Rico's for a couple years...always great food, amazing service, and never feel rushed when chatting with ftiends. I am a huge fan of the fish basket...their slaw is my absolute favorite in Elkhart!! Apple walnut salad is my next favorite item.“

“First time dining there. Food and service was amazing. Will definitely be going back.“

“Great food, great service, friendly and accommodating staff. Highly recommended!

One small complaint: If you state you are open until 3 pm, you should seat people and take orders until 3 pm. The cook and staff shouldn't expect to leave at 3, and therefore stop seating people at 2:30 or 2:45. If you're not going to take orders past 2:30, then your posted hours should say that you are open until 2:30. That's how every other restaurant I know of does business.“

“I ordered special cookies and cake for a celebration. They were delicious. Everyone raved about them.“

“Walked into where it said menu dinning asked to be seated in the menu dining part made zero mention if we wanted bfast or lunch the rude old lady manager informed me that bfast was over at 11 we was there at 10:45am and refused to seat us that's fine I can spend my money somewhere else. To think I grew up with the Miller's I haven't been here in an long time I won't be back. I'm glad I wasted my time and effort from Goshen, In“

“Today (8/27/20) we had an incident in the parking lot, where an irresponsible driver decided to not follow vehicular laws and nearly ran over my 5 year old, myself, and my 1.5 year old who was in my arms, and I’m 6 months pregnant. Since I was unable to catch the persons license plate and I was a bit frazzled, when I went inside and asked to see a manager everyone was really sweet and understanding, Erin, the manager, really helped make me feel like something was being done about the issue. Thank you Erin, your customer service is amazing, I appreciate it.“

“Amazing smash burgers and fries, great atmosphere.“

“Best home cooked breakfast in town!“

“Id heard great things about this place and am happy to report that they are all true!

It is somewhat of an open seating type of place. So there is some outdoor seating, indoor seating that has like open areas so it’s half inside half out, and then fully inside seating. There are no servers just runners and bartenders. You order at the bar, get a number, take it to your table. Menus can be found at the reception or at either of the bars.

They have a limited menu because it’s seasonal. We ordered the heirloom
Bruschetta which comes with a full ball of burrata! I highly recommend it even though I expect it will be off the menu soon. It’s also served with a hearty bread they make in house which is fantastic.

For my main I ordered the skirt steak and avocado salad it was excellent! I highly recommend it if you see it on the menu. My other dining partners ordered the Cobb salad which comes with smoked chicken and deliciously cooked bacon, also recommend. As well as the brisket sandwich which was also very good, the meat was cooked perfectly though you may want to ask for extra barbecue sauce.

The water is pretty cool. You need to go up close to the second bar and there is a spigot or a tap that you released the water from into metal cups. If you want ice, you have to ask the bartender.

They don’t currently have cider right now, but it says that it’s fermenting so they should have it soon. Overall, a 10 out of 10 I absolutely recommend and it would be perfect to go on a beautiful day when you’re not busy to really enjoy the outdoor seating they have.“

“Great people and great food“

“Great food, great atmosphere! Try the pizza!“

“My husband and I finally got to go out for a date night and we chose the oasis! It was super good. I had the Cajun pasta with the chicken and it was amazing. Our waitress was so so sweet and wonderful as well. Her attitude was very upbeat and positive. We finished our dinner off with gingerbread cheesecake. My husband LOVED that. We will be coming back soon!“

“Excellent, old-school candy shop and breakfast/lunch restaurant. My wife had a BLT and I had a full order of biscuits and gravy (4 halves), both were delicious. A trip to their restroom is an adventure to the basement and the steps only have railing on the bottom half, so you might want to avoid that. We took home some dark chocolate turtles, which are first rate!“

“Rudest bartender I've ever met. Dana called last call at 9:45pm on Friday. At 10:20 she walked through the bar and said you have 5 minutes to finish your drinks. She came back at 10:25 and tried to take everyone's glasses. Half our table wasn't finished yet and she became complacent when we would not give her our glasses. She told us we were no longer welcome at this BDubs location. Our server then came back to our table and said they don't close till 11:00 so if you would like to stay and finish your cocktails I would gladly wash your cups.“

“Good food and great service“

“The food was amazing and the waitstaff is awesome also. We’ll definitely be back soon“

“We absolutely love Dutch Maid!! In fact, my husband and I have made it our favorite place to go for our weekly brunch date. We enjoy trying out their new selections of treats, and being amazed by their fun and fantastically decorated sugar cookies that change every few weeks, though we have our standing favorites, too. Plus, many people might not know that they have delicious food, too! Definitely check out their menu. Also, the staff is incredibly friendly, which is part of why we keep going back. The inside atmosphere is very relaxing and cute as well, so we like dining in, but of course you can get your goodies to go, too. We tell people all the time how much we like going to Dutch Maid. Overall, would highly recommend!!

Vegetarian options: On their food menu there are vegetarian options, and of course all their pastries and other sweets.

Parking: About two dozen free parking spaces available right outside

Wheelchair accessibility: No steps and easy to navigate, though no handicap button for the double doors.“

“Dining room was closed for renovation but the drive thru was a tasty substitute. Food and drinks were exceptionally delicious. Whoever was working February 28,2022 around 6:30 pm at the Goshen,Indiana location you guys did an amazing job!! 😋“

“For a Chili's feast I sat, my six-ounce steak laid where I'm at. With broccoli in piles high, I reach for spice, but none I spy!

Salt and pepper, where’d you go? Through booths of red, both high and low, I search for grinders, black and white, These sacred vessels, out of sight!

I pass the greeter’s watchful door, through realms of servers, bar and more, until at last! The quest complete, two grinders found to bless my meat!

The hunt was long, the prize was small (These should be present first of all). The steak was good, once seasoned right, but butter did escape my sight.“

“Recently, my husband and I treated ourselves to a delightful lunch at IHOP, and it was a wonderful experience. The service was top-notch, with friendly staff ensuring we were well taken care of. Overall, IHOP provided the perfect setting for a cozy lunch date, and we left with happy hearts and full stomachs, already planning our next visit.“

“Happened to come into Applebees on a Saturday, we were pushed to sit at the bar by other bar guests and to our surprise it worked in our favor! Kayla was very attentive, very friendly, and made the best drinks(and shakes). Will definitely be back if she is working!

However, my one complaint is Bre, a server was very rude. She knew Kayla was talking to us and taking care of us, but would start shouting across the bar that she needed drinks. She would grab her own tickets and slam them down on the bar so Kayla could hear. Kayla would be getting our order and Bre would intervene and we could hear every word. As a guest, it was very rude and unpleasant. Especially since she did it repeatedly while we were there. Again, service with kayla was the ABSOLUTE BEST. It was the other server that ruined our experience“
