“Best bbq on the city. Tried his smoked wings and I’ve been hooked ever since. It’s almost embarrassing lol 🤦‍♂️ owner is a solid dude too. If you’re in the city or passing through it’s definitely a must try“

“I'm not a barbecue guy but I gotta say that Martin's turned that attitude around really quick. I love the decor and the fact that they have a deck that's half open and half screened in giving you the choice to sit on either side you like. The barbecue was amazing, hands down the best I've ever had, I honestly can't wait to come back - I had the brisket burger and Mac and cheese and it was immaculate. Highly recommend.“

“Man everything on the menu is A1. Smoked to perfection. I will be back everytime!“

She’s gonna have the cocktail sauce for my husband, shrimp dinners, and my extra hot sauce for my fish sandwich. Lol With a smile! I’m sorry you don’t get that much on the west side!
Inexpensive and worth every penny.“

“The food is wonderful and you get to cook the meat yourself at your table! Pretty awesome!“

“Outstanding flavors! Delicious standard items and interesting specials. Smoked meatloaf sandwich was a recent feature. The green beans and baked beans are yummy. You can smell the BBQ cooking outdoors a mile away and it is irresistible. The brisket is the best and most flavorful we’ve had anywhere. Definitely will stop in again!“

“I’ve been craving famous Dave’s for a couple months so I ordered Uber eats when the food was delivered. There was no safety tape on the food on either boxes and then when I did finally get the food open, there was only one packet of barbecue sauce for a feast for two I’m kind of disappointed in that but really disappointed in the safety measures because of the concerns of people handling your food. You can do better famous Dave’s especially if I’ve paid over $80 for this food and delivery!“

“I love to love this place, I’m so happy I tried this place out!“

“Natasha has the best pudding in town! I will be back for more for sure.“

“Restaurant Review: Exceptional Service from Gabriel at LongHorn Steakhouse

I recently had the pleasure of dining at LongHorn Steakhouse, and I have to give a special shoutout to one of the best hosts I’ve ever encountered—Gabriel Ordonez Chingo Chin. At just 16 years old, Gabriel demonstrates professionalism, kindness, and efficiency beyond his years. From the moment we walked in, he greeted us with a warm smile and made sure we were seated quickly and comfortably.

Gabriel’s attention to detail and customer service skills are truly impressive. He keeps the front of the restaurant running smoothly, ensuring that guests feel welcomed and taken care of. It’s clear that he takes his job seriously and puts in the effort to make every guest’s experience a great one.

I also have to mention that Gabriel has a strong and supportive girlfriend, Jessleen, who keeps him in check—but even with that dynamic, he remains focused and dedicated to his work. His ability to stay composed and efficient in a busy environment is commendable, and LongHorn Steakhouse is lucky to have him on their team.

If you’re dining at LongHorn, rest assured that Gabriel will make sure your experience starts off on the right foot. Keep up the great work, Gabriel!“

“The owner and his staff are very friendly. The restaurant is really clean on the inside. The first time I ordered, I got a rib tip dinner with greens and Mac and cheese. The second time, I only ordered rib tips and one of the staff asked me did I want sides. I told them no because I had sides at home. I let them know that the Mac and cheese was not so great and the owner came out and apologized for that and gave me a free slice of cake to make up. I thought that was really nice of him. He told me that he appreciated my feedback. I still visit every weekend and I get rib tips, greens and potato salad now and a slice of cake but I gotta get it early before it sells out.“

“Honestly always a great time here and Maki as a server was great. Very friendly and sweet and was attentive and fun. I love this place and everyone is really cool“

“The food is wonderful, service is great, and always fun! Beer is always very cold!“

“We found this jewel of a spot and had a wonderful experience. Food was amazing and owners were very friendly. We’ve been to Jamaica but this food was far superior than that experience. I had the jerk chicken and it was delicious, my wife had the escovish fish and it was spot on.. We will definitely be back to enjoy everything on the menu.“

“First time going, definitely be back you got a try their Italian beef, their buffalo wings“

“I normally have a great time at Texas Roadhouse.But last night june seventeenth my husband and I went and it was a pretty bad experience. For 1 hour stakes, we're not done. We had to send them back and when I cut into my steak. I cut mine into 3 pieces to make sure it was done. My husband cut his into 2 pieces and when they brought them back. A big piece of my steak was not there.. Now, like I said, we normally have a great time there with no problems.My husband and I go maybe twice a week and we never have any problems , but on june seventeenth , we had this bad experience. But needless to say, we will return to Texas road.As we normally do and hopefully , we will have better experiences there. Texas roadhouse is One of our favorite restaurants“

“We ordered two dinners for takeout this week and everything was phenomenal! The food (chicken and dumplings and a ruckus burger) were hot and flavorful and the desserts (banana pudding and caramel apple cobbler) were absolutely delicious! Great pricing too! 10 outta 10 - Definitely recommend!“

“great food. nice friendly staff“

“Putt Shack Nashville is a fun experience for everyone! I hosted an office Holiday gathering, an afternoon out with the kids and a girls night …. all of which were super fun! They have a full bar menu as well as a vast array of food options ranging from salads to burgers. Get your group together and give it a try!“

“Destiny W is a amazing waitress! She went above and beyond and took very good care of us! She noticed that I have some health problems and told me to keep fighting. She then told me that she understands. She shared her story and by the end we both had tears in our eyes. She made a big impact on me today. People need to be more like her. She is awesome. And I thank her so much. I tried to do a survey for her and couldn't do it. So I decided to do a review instead!“

“We used Gore's SmokeOut BBQ catering services for one of our employee's Birthday Party! Everyone enjoyed the experience and wanted information so that they could order more! Definitely recommended!!“

“the Food is Actually Delicious I'd recommend them, to Anyone🥂💵🥂“

“I was traveling across the US from California and I needed a good healthy meal to counter the crap food that I generally end up eating in order to knock out 600 miles/day. My waitress Brandie understood perfectly and she fixed me up with grilled salmon, sweet potato and a surprisingly fresh salad. The salmon was fresh and grilled the way I like it, and the sweet potato was the best damn baked sweet potato I've ever had! Maybe I was hungry, but I wished I would have dug deeper into how they bake a sweet potato. Thanks again Brandie, see you in 2-3 months on the return leg!“
