“I recently had dinner at Applebee’s, and I have to say Edward completely elevated the experience. From the moment we were seated, he made us feel welcomed and valued. His energy was magnetic super friendly, confident, and personable without being overbearing. You could instantly tell he genuinely enjoys what he does.

Edward’s attention to detail was next-level. He remembered every part of our order without writing anything down, made sure all our modifications were correct, and delivered everything quickly and smoothly, even though the restaurant was clearly busy. He checked on us at just the right times not too much, not too little and always with a smile.

What really stood out was how he went above and beyond. He took the time to recommend drink pairings and menu items without sounding pushy. When we mentioned it was a birthday, he brought out dessert with a candle and had the whole team celebrate totally unexpected and so appreciated. You can’t teach the kind of care and charisma Edward brings to the table. It’s rare.

On top of that, he was professional, patient, and fast, even while handling multiple tables around us. I watched him treat every guest with that same warmth and attention. That’s the kind of consistency that makes a huge difference.

If Applebee’s had a Hall of Fame, Edward would be in it. I hope the management knows how valuable he is because he turned a regular night out into a great memory.

Thank you, Edward we’ll definitely be back, and we’ll be asking for you by name.“

“These folks at Banners are top tier! Played a little pop up gig there last night on my way through and was treated unbelievably well considering I was just some musician they’d never heard of. The servers are friendly and accommodating, and the locals who hang out here are a FUN bunch who sang a long to all the songs they knew, and even got down on some ORIGINAL music! I’d recommend artists to consider playing here, and I’d recommend those looking for somewhere to get a good bite to eat in a really fun atmosphere to check out Banners! Thanks guys! I’ll be back!“

“The owner/manager was so welcoming and friendly! We had never been in before, and he gave us the story about how the place started. He also brought out additional sauce because he thought the wings didn’t look saucy enough (but trust me, they were!). He made sure everything was great- and it truly was. The chicken quality is great which isn’t always the case with wing places, and the food never disappoints. I also love how they have the sauce bar so you can try out the sauces before committing to one. Don’t know how we waited so long to try them, but don’t make the same mistake as us. Go give them a shot!“

Our server was Mathew and on a scale of 1-10 we give him 20 stars! If I had a business I’d definitely want him working there! He went above and beyond his job description! Thank you for finding a charger for me; I really appreciated that! Next time there’s going to be more in our group because we definitely spread the word! We hate we missed the band! Food, pricing and drinks excellent!“
