“Food was FIRE????Look at my friend go to town on these wings…My Honest Review…This planet has been blessed with some absolutely incredible individulas throughout history. From Edison, and his perserverance to bring light to this world, to Newton, advancing physics in ways nobody could have imagined. Those like Gandhii, MLK, Harriet Tubman, Antonio Brown, Mike Tyson, and Jamies Winston have each brought their own spark to society unlike anything we have ever seen. However, none of these people can even begin to rival the immense impact that the service Morgan the Waitress provided to me during my visit to Smokey Bones in Bowling Green Kentucky. Now, although some may say otherwise, the true fact is that the service Morgan the Waitress provided was nothing short of extraordinary. She gave swift service, along with an elite ability and willingness to attend to our every need.For starters, Morgan the Waitress provided me and my team of 26 members with what I would argue was the quickest service on the east side of the mississippi. Fulfilling the wishes of roughly 20 BOGO 8 count wings is no easy task. However, Morgan the Waitress was able to provide our group with our food in more than satisfactory time. I strongly feel as though even the Racehorse Secretariet himself wouldn’t have been able to deliver this food with such swiftness.In addition to the rapid service we were provided, Morgan the Waitress was willing to aid our every request without hesitation. A good comparison would be like Guillermo to Jimmy Kimmel, one of the most elite supporters this world has ever seen that probably doesn’t even amount to the service Morgan the Waitress Provided. She even risked her life by standing in the Parking Lot, despite the risk of oncoming traffic, in order to get a shot of our team in front of this establishment.All in all, I would wholeheartedly recommend you take a visit to Smokey Bones in Bowling Green Kentucky. And if you are as lucky as we were to have Morgan the Waitress be your server for the evening, your experiece will rival the feeling of the Cubs winning the 2016 World Series.“

“Phenomenal across the board. All servers were friendly and helpful. I was asked multiple times if I was being waited on. It was refreshing to experience such a high level of customer care. Everything was clean and tidy inside and the food was outstanding and made exactly how I ordered it. It’s might be just typical “American comfort food” but, dang, it was delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant and I can’t wait to try their breakfast food!Vegetarian options: There are enough non-meat options to have a meal, especially if you eat cheese and eggs.Wheelchair accessibility: Flat entrance and plenty of room between tables“

“Best place to hangout, chat, eat, and watch live sports. Never a dull moment here everyone has a ton of fun. Plenty of seating, amazing staff, and not to mention the burger can challenge anywhere in bowling green. Prices on drinks and food are unbeatable. If you’re into sports , catch Sunday, Monday and Thursday night football, and NASCAR is on every race. Free pool everyday, live music, and drink & food specials are just a cherry on top. This is the place to go if you’re looking to chill out after a long day and hangout with some great people and have a good time. Highly recommend everyone to give this place a shot, and maybe they’ll give you a shot too?“

“Last night was our first time there. As we entered, we were warmly greeted by a tall young man with a welcoming smile. He was busy going from table to table working. The lovely, young lady who took our order was efficient and patient...even with my husband's hearing deficit. She said, "When your order is ready, we'll call your name loudly."The food was delicious, warm and plentiful.When we left the restaurant, the young man, who had greeted us when we arrived, came outside after us, thanked us for OUR warm greeting and handed us a to-go dessert.Very special place. Very special people.“

“My husband and I had the most fantastic dinner for his birthday. We ordered the Reuben egg rolls for the appetizer, the shrimp and grits and the brisket torta. The egg rolls came quickly and were wonderful. The sauerkraut wasn’t overwhelming but provided a nice flavor to the dish l. The dipping sauce complimented the food well.My brisket torta was delicious. The meat was tender and flavorful. The roll the sandwich was served on was soft and seasoned well. I also had an order of sweet potato wedges. They were okay. The real star of the show was the shrimp and grits my husband ordered. The grits are formed into a cake and the texture and flavor is amazing! There were several large shrimp and the sauce on the entire dish was so good. This is probably one of the best dishes I have tried.The service was great, the restaurant wasn’t too loud and overall we had a wonderful and affordable meal. We cannot wait to go back!“

“This spot has been more restaurants/bars than I can count, but this one is definitely my favorite. Our server was sweet and charming, the food was out quickly, very good quality and great flavors. The eggplant fries app was crispy outside and lovely inside, and went well with the aoli. Caesar salad was flavorful, and NOT overflowing with too much dressing. Nashville hot sandwich was just hot enough and amazing with the house made ketchup. The fig and brie burger was so tasty and the jalapeno and arugula were beautifully fresh. Both the regular and sweet potato fries were just the right amount of crisp. The music catered to an older crowd, but the atmosphere was classy. The prices are incredibly reasonable, and we will be coming back!“

“Teresa’s is the perfect town eatery that has grown to meet the size of its customer base. I dare say it started in a small shop size area and is now in something the size of a four car garage. They have done well for themselves. The food is not assuming. It is exactly as described and is quite good. At our table we enjoyed every single bite of bacon strips, sausage patties, scrambled eggs, home fries, biscuits & gravy, bacon & cheese omelette and toast. We enjoyed fresh water, decaf that was actually quite good and a Diet Coke. In a big city this would have run us $35 + tax & tip, easily … and been half cold. This food all but ran to the table hot and came to a grand total of $20 + tax & tip. The waitstaff cannot be nicer. So all together = Sold!Try to keep us away next time we are in the area. It won’t work.“

“High-end restaurant without the stuffy pretentiousness, great place for adult birthdays or anniversaries. Knowledgeable front-end staff that cover each other. Good variety of steaks, pastas, and seafood. This review written after third visit: all orders were cooked perfectly. Recommend the bourbon-smoked sweet potatoes (also can be a dessert) and the two spinach sides; steak toppings are Oscar or the Asiago butter; appetizers would be the tuna tartar, calamari, or the crab cake. Lauren was a perfect waitstaff, Vanessa was my recommended bartender.“

This place is conveniently located right across The Hotel Sync! We highly reccomend this place even if you’re not picking up a vette or just visiting the museum.

“I have been to Double Dogs a bunch of times and it’s usually great. Amazing atmosphere and they can usually put on just about any game that’s being played. Food is really tasty, too. Last night I endeavored in The Big John and it was definitely an experience.I will say however that last night the girl who served us had the worst attitude. She acted like she didnt want us there and it was very off putting. The service is usually quite good but she started walking away while I was still ordering my food, never checked back on us after food came out, never offered us a second round, and at the end of the meal my girlfriend had a coupon for a free desert and after we ordered it asked if we would rather just have the discount with no desert- again, it felt like she didn’t want us there. It really made the experience terrible.I won’t let one bad experience ruin Double Dogs for me but it was not the best experience this time.“

The menu is bursting with seasonal and high quality locally sourced delights, with rare drink options and wild game meats. We enjoyed their Elk with bone marrow butter, incredible steak, wonton appetizer, whipped potatoes and collard greens, along with the pineapple cake dessert – absolutely divine. They take their house-made sauces, butters, sourcing, and preparation seriously; Nearly nothing feels like an afterthought. The ambiance - think high-quality, comfortably upscale, clean and totally modern. Staff is intuitive, thoughtful, well trained and versed with the company, customers and menu. It's the perfect place to unwind, surrounded by amazing company and folks, and indulge in some truly unique dishes.“

“Came here around noon and it was very slow. Not a lot of people inside so service was extremely fast.Decided today we would have the Jalapeño Poppers which were good but not very spicy. They took the seeds out of the peppers to tone them down a bit. It came with cheese on the inside along with the poppers so it was still very good.My wife ordered the Pulled Pork Plate. For the price you pay ($11.00) you get what you pay for. She said it was good except she wishes there was more! Along with that she had the hush puppies as a side which took us by surprise when we noticed it had corn on the inside. We absolutely loved this as all hush puppies in Texas are made this way. We prefer these ones over the hush puppies at say Cookout.I myself ordered the Double Bacon Cheese Burger. In my honest opinion, it was a very good burger. I did not expect it to be as big as it was. Sadly, I had to take a take a to go container because of the size. My only regret is wishing I could have ate the entire thing.While we were here extra staff was cleaning to ensure cleanliness by sweeping and wiping down tables. You can tell they at least like their jobs as the waitresses and kitchen staff could be heard laughing and having a good time.Overall this spot is fantastic and wish it was open longer than 5AM - 2PM daily. I could see this being a fantastic dinner spot especially during football season. We will be coming back in the future to try more of the menu.“

It was a thick slice of cheese and it was delicious. The fries were forgettable. Off to the side was a table full of southern favorite dessert options. Choices included butterscotch or peanut butter pie, apple fried pies and a few cake choices. So if you are tired of franchises, try this.“
