“Had a fantastic dinner with my family this evening!! All the staff were friendly and accommodating and not only were all of our meals so delicious, the dessert was top notch!! Everything was cooked to perfection. Best Salmon Salad I’ve ever had in my life!! Good job, Wichita Red Rock!! The manager, Veronica, was so nice and checked on us, and our server, Drew, was on top of everything. We had a great evening. Bonus: good ranch dressing!!“

“FMK knocked it out of the park today for Mother’s Day brunch. Everyone we encountered was so friendly and the food was a 10/10. Even though they didn’t have a dedicated kid’s menu, my boys split the pancake combo and it was perfect for them to share. We also tried the lobster eggs benedict and the Korean steak & eggs- both amazing! Their breakfast potatoes are fantastic as well.

Our server was great and went out her way to help us enjoy our brunch with two small boys (not easy!) by bringing our food out quickly and staying on top of refills. We appreciated being able to get in and out, but they weren’t rushing tables either. Just a great experience all around!“

“Discovered Metro Bistro several years ago. I’m from Topeka & come to Andover/Wichita frequently & Metro Bistro has become a favorite! Their service is friendly & efficient, the chef is amazing & dishes are different than any other restaurant. Love the music & unique atmosphere. Highly recommend! 5 Stars for sure! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Usually, nostalgia is a sensation that comes from a time period you experienced yourself. Many of us didn’t experience the ‘50s, but diners are apart of the American landscape that chances are you have great memories in a ‘50s themed diner, or at least relate to it as a symbol of American culture. Thanks Jimmie's Diner for keeping that nostalgia going!! Our server, Flash was outstanding he was very friendly and personable. we had a good conversation with him aswell. our food was right on par and the presentation looked great. we fi shed our lunch with a giant sundae. Thanks Jimmie's and your staff for making our lunch a memorable one as always!“

“my husband and I went for the the first time yesterday and it was absolutely amazing. I love that they keep the potatoes in the warmer and then place them back in the warmer after adding the toppings. The food was delicious and the workers were so nice. We would 100% go back.“

“I think they have the best food around. I always eat there when I come home for visit. I always eat there when I was a kid growing up and now as a adult. they have the best pork tender sandwich ever. and their chocolate malts aren't bad either. I would recommend that you go eat there and pick it up and take it home with you.“

“We enjoyed a lovely evening at The Greens for our car club Christmas. We reserved a room for 30+ people, had a few servers (Calvin was amazing) who did a fantastic job with drinks, food orders, and making sure we had an enjoyable time. We created a short menu which they printed out to assist with meal options. The Greens has a great bar, dining area, and extra banquet halls, in additional to the gold course. Thank you.“

“We want you to bring back the Voodoo Pasta. The staff wants it back, as well. The Cajun shrimp and the chicken parm that replaced it just isn’t as good.“

“Restaurant has a nice atmosphere, tables for two are nicely placed where conversation can be had and heard. The bacon wrapped filet was delicious, perfectly cooked, soft like butter, very tender and flavorful. The crème brûlée cheesecake was delightful, very sweet.“

“My husband and I came here to get some better crab legs than the other place across the way. Jessica was our bartender/ server. She was very friendly, had a great personality, and did an amazing job. The food came out in a timely fashion and it was delicious!!! I would highly recommend this Red Lobster!! We will be back. :)“

“We ate here for the first time and we’ll definitely be coming back. The food was amazing, but what really made our experience special was our waitress, Cyanna. She was incredibly kind, funny, and patient with us and had us smiling and laughing the entire time. She checked in at just the right times, made sure we had everything we needed, and truly made us feel welcome.
It’s rare to have service that makes the whole experience this enjoyable. Cyanna is exactly the kind of employee that keeps customers coming back. She’s a big reason we’ll be coming back and requesting her every time. She truly deserves recognition for the incredible service she provides. Thank you for such a great first experience!“

“Great food every time! My only complaint is every time we order for pickup, I'll get the text it's ready and check in once we're there and still sit in the parking space for atleast 15 minutes before someone comes out with the food. I don't think the food has been hot once.“

“Coffee, hot chocolate and cakes were delicious.Staff were lovely and friendly !“

“Abbey was lovely and very kind. However, no fault of hers, my pasta and my girlfriends food came out so cold that I believed it had not been cooked. However she was kind and energetic enough to redeem the negative experience. Y’all survived that 2022 tornado and yet did not have enough of a come to Jesus moment to fully cook your pasta.“

“Was amazing!! I took my in-laws my husband and our kids here for their first time, they all loved it so much. So thank you!!“

“at around 11pm on 11/30/23 my daughter and son in law ubered to this location (in preparation to not drive home if they has alcoholic beverages) upon entering the established they were refused service while patrons who were actively being served laughed and said "sucks to be you N****r!" the staff then began to laugh and did not reprimand the patron or try to fix the situation by offering service. My daughter paid to get to this establishment only to be met with racism by both staff and patrons. I am absolutely disgusting and heartbroken that they had to deal with this type of embarrassment and hurtful behavior. I will also be contact the GM of this location as well as going as high up in the management chain as need be. I am a retail GM and have been in retail & restaurant management most of my adult life and would never allow this type of behavior in any establishment I run. DISGUSTING!!!“

“Spaulding's is a great "townie" bar. Family friendly with good food, good staff, and good daily specials. Lots of TVs and multiple sports are on all the time. Taco Tuesday is always good and they have Trivia Thursday nights. Decent draft beer selection and a full bar. Pool tables and a few electronic games too. GOOD TIMES!!“

“I had to take a moment to recognize Princess at IHOP—because exceptional service like hers deserves to be celebrated!

From the moment you walk in, Princess makes you feel genuinely welcomed and valued. She truly lives out a “customer first” mindset in every interaction. Her attentiveness, warm personality, and positive energy set the tone for an outstanding dining experience every single time.

Princess doesn’t just do her job—she goes above and beyond. She anticipates needs before you even have to ask, checks in consistently without being intrusive, and ensures everything is just right. Whether it’s making recommendations, keeping drinks filled, or simply offering a kind word, she delivers service with excellence and grace.

What stands out most is her consistency. It’s not just a one-time experience—Princess shows up with the same level of care, professionalism, and dedication every visit. She embodies what true customer service excellence looks like and represents IHOP with pride.

If you’re lucky enough to be served by Princess, you’re in for more than a meal—you’re in for an experience. She is truly an asset to IHOP and a shining example of what great service should be.

Thank you, Princess, for always going the extra mile! 👏🏽✨“
