“We have loved Cooks American Grill since early 2000's at least! Delicious food. ESPECIALLY the $9.49 meatloaf dinners & $6.75 meatloaf sandwiches (our favorite 😍)... the $9.99 kids meal chicken strip car is so cute too!

They also get their meats next door from Lenard meets (so it's semi-local), & so not from Walmart, sysco, PFG, or US Foods. They also bread the chicken in house! That's a HUGE win in my book!“

“The customer service I received this sunday at Perkin’s was phenomenal. I went out to eat with my mother in law and my infant son. He is at the teething age therefore he is quite cranky. The entire beginning of us getting there and ordering was filled with him crying (which is not fun in a restaurant). Once our meals came, a sweet older lady who is a team lead there, came to our table and offered to hold my crying son so I can eat. She said that I needed it. Not once has this type of customer service been offered to me anywhere else. I will remember this moment for a long time.“

“We’ve eaten at LongHorn Steakhouse a few times, and it continues to be a solid choice when we’re craving a good steak. This visit definitely didn’t disappoint.

The ribeye was cooked just right, juicy and tender with a great seasoned crust and plenty of flavor. The sweet potato with butter and cinnamon sugar was the perfect side. We also had the loaded potato soup, which was thick, creamy and topped with bacon, cheddar and green onions.

Everything came out hot, the portions were generous, and the service was friendly and attentive. LongHorn may be a chain, but they consistently put out a really good steak dinner without the high-end steakhouse price tag.

Definitely a place we’ll keep coming back to when we’re in the mood for steak! 🥩🥔“

“There are two times in my life where I haven't left a tip and 11/11/25was one of them. I and two of my co-workers and 3 of my special needs.Clients went to tailgaters for lunch. They were busy which was fine. My co-worker asked if they could wipe off a table for us.The waitress response was as soon as we can. My clients were well behaved and didn't cause any trouble. Later, the waitress came to our table and asked to take our order One of my clients was playing with the menu and laughing?She proceeded to put her hand on the menu and said enough of that.I already have a crying baby.Because there was a baby crying at another table. the waitress was very disrespectful and down right mean to us. she walked by her table several times did not stop to check on us , did not refill drinks and didn't even acknowledge that we were even there. It took forever to get our tickets and once we got our tickets.My co worker said we're ready to pay but the waitress proceeded to leave the table anyway. so we had to wait even longer for her to come back and take our tickets. We told another co-worker when we got back to the facility about what happened.He was upset and called the store. but our luck, the waitress who waited on us happened to be the manager and the owner.But we're wondering if that's even true. We were downright ignored and disrespected. I understand how frustrating it is work busy and shorthanded but that is no reason to be downright mean. We will not back. My agency had Tailgators on the schedule once a month but since this horrid waitress made us feel unwelcome and treated us like an inconvenience we will not be returning. A person shows their true character by how they treat the vulnerable.“
