“As a fellow restaurant, owner, out of state and many miles away, there is so much that I appreciate about our visit to Solomon‘s Porch. Friendly staff, excellent food, great atmosphere. And we had the opportunity to meet the owners, Tim and Erin, and could see in that short visit time, that their love for their community in which they have immersed themselves, is the driving force behind why they do business there. They live the people in Wilmore, just like we do in our own little café, Downtown D’Lites, in Kilgore, Texas! Our experience with lunch yesterday and then breakfast today, and even meeting my brother Dave, who is also on a road trip from Oklahoma, was a great stop on the way to our New Jersey destination!“

The WiFi was free and fast, and there are more tables than I expected. The connected shop is small but has some really cool and unique stuff. The only hard thing is finding parking close by!“

“El Cafe is terrific; they were short staffed and busy, and my husband and I still got our order lightning fast. So imagine our delight when the food was amazing on top of that! His chilaquiles were delicious (and spicy!) and the Mexican crepes I ordered were exactly what I was hoping for. The crepes aren't wafer thin like French crepes, but have substance and stand up well to the wealth of toppings. We will be bringing friends and family here as soon as we can!“

Wildcat Café | UK Kentucky Clinic Cafeteria •
740 South Limestone 3rd Floor, Lexington - 9.54 miles

“My 5 week old was admitted for biliary atresia. Dr Rellinger, Martin, Dewberry did the procedure and so far all is well. It felt like we had seen so many people from the Doctors, Nurses, residents, pain management, GI, nutrition, etc and everyone was always helpful. Shout-out to the team of doctors who performed the procedure to help our girl, we are so grateful! The 4th floor nurses in the progressive care unit were amazing to us! Miroslava (heaven sent), Alan, Katie, Alivia, Ally, Kris, Amanda, are just a few who were wonderful! The cons of our experience were a couple ladies who when trying to store my Breastmilk were so rude! Telling the receptionist to tell me there was no room in their fridge (my bag was already there, it could hold more) to place my new milk. Stated that they shouldn't have to retrieve my milk ( more than happy to walk it there) and go to the cafeteria to put it in ice. I was told **Jesse** said it and a lady named Tammy was mentioned throughout. Doubt there was anything done after talking to a higher up and making a phone complaint. Last con was we were discharged and still needed the medicine for my daughter. The Retail Pharmacy took **3 HOURS** AFTER DISCHARGE to bring the medicine. All that was said was they were slammed.“

“Big thank you to Cheryl, who helped make my order right. This was no way the fault of Panera, but rather with the third party delivery service used when I placed my order through the app.

I ordered a sandwich for delivery and instead of receiving my Panera order, I received Taco Bell. Instead of reporting the issue to the third party deliver to get a refund, I called Panera to see what could be done. I was hungry and wanted food, not a refund.

I was connected with Cheryl, who told me they would make my meal and directed me to pick it up in the drive through. I offered to pick it up, btw. Not only was my meal perfect, but she threw in a cookie and a pup cup for my dog who was in the car with me. Also gave me a refund for having to drive to get my food. Nice!

This might not sound like a lot, but food delivery prices have gotten to be exorbitant. You pay double the price to get food delivered vs what you’d pay at the restaurant. You expect to get what you ordered. Cheryl went above and was beyond helpful. Much appreciated!“
