“The best steak I've had in Owensboro Kentucky. Honestly it's the best steak I've ever had but it was the first time I've ever had wagyu steak. We had a great time tonight and look forward to going back. My friend got the duck and it was great as well. I stole a bite lol. Also there are mozzarella sticks that are amazing. I have never cared for mozzarella sticks until I tried Callas.“

“My date and I arrived around 6pm on a very busy Saturday night. The hostess said our wait would be 15-20 minutes. We were seated at a booth after a 45 minute wait. The restaurant was very large and noise level was quite loud. Our server was amazing! She had our refills ready throughout our visit. We started with breaded mushrooms and we added a side of ranch. The batter was crispy and not only were the mushrooms hot and fresh but sooo tasty! The sauces are all house made and they do not disappoint. I ordered the house chicken with the chef’s vegetable of the night, which was squash, zucchini, peppers, and onions and a side salad. I didn’t get a photo of the side salad but it was topped with bacon crumbles, hard boiled egg, house made croutons, and it came with a piece of cheese toast that was to die for! My chicken was juicy and flavorful and the squash was delicious. My date ordered the chicken fingers, waffle fries, and onion straws. The portions were very generous and everything tasted amazing. The menu had many options to choose from and the prices weren’t bad at all. It was a great place for our date night! Highly recommend!“

“Our church senior's group enjoyed a great lunch at City Walk yesterday. I loved the perfectly fried catfish, creamy real mashed potatoes, southern style green beans and a side of strawberry cobbler. Many in our group of 18 ordered the Beef Manhattan and gave it a great review. Our servers were friendly, timely and provided exactly what we requested with smiles!“

“First time eating at Ritzy’s today, December 19, 2025. Atmosphere was quiet. Staff were friendly. Tables & floor were very clean. Soda machine & condiment area was clean. My boyfriend & I ordered two, #1s. Food was ready rather quickly, fresh & warm. Hamburgers were fantastic. The onion rings were delicious. I decided to order the famous PB & J, & I am glad I did. It looks so good! (Haven’t ate it yet) Overall, I will definitely stop in here again when I come to my hometown, Owensboro, KY!“

“We ate here for our anniversary and it did not disappoint! The meals were amazing but our favorite part was definitely the sushi bomb we shared as an appetizer. I’ll be dreaming about it for weeks. Everything tasted so fresh and delicious. Service was great and the atmosphere was also a vibe. 10/10.“

“Very clean and the food was very good“

“I love this place. Great food. Excellent service. Interesting people!! I always see friends there.“

“I love Ritzy’s, but today my hamburger bun was soggy. Unusual! My one concern: the people at the cash register put their thumbs/fingers down in the cups when handing them. Yuk!“

“I love ❤️ this place! And I love ❤️ there food!“

“Could have been a bad night but I can't recommend this place at this point. We went for a meal during burger week and after sitting for 2 hours with no food delivered to the table it was time to vacate the place. Wish them luck but not my buck.“

“Had it yesterday for the first time and it was delicious! Not only was the food great but the service was also excellent. I’ll definitely be back soon.“

“While working on a film crew at the hotel, the entire Burger Theory staff went above and beyond to make our time as productive as possible. They were super friendly and accommodating with the use of their space throughout the shoot. Emily was the MVP. And special thanks to Katrina, Azalea, and Kaitlyn as well. On top of that, the food was great! I’ll definitely be back for the spicy chicken sandwich & fries!“

“Ms. Ruby was such a delight and brightened my day!!
The food was flavorful and looked just like the photos on the menu.
Any time I’ve dinned in at Denny's while she was working, my food came out great, on time, and hot!“

“We dined there tonight. Charlie (the manager) was super nice! He even remembered serving my husband over 10 years ago at a previous establishment. Servers were professional and fast. The strawberry shortcake was super tasty but the cheesecake was 😚👌🏻“

“Was at Cracker Barrel on Thursday 8/29/25 Service was great and so was the food“

“I am confused by the mixed reviews honestly .... Have eaten here several times and I genuinely thought that it was absolutely excellent! The food is fantastic, the service is great.... And I thought it was really a charming place !
Anyone who follows my reviews, most likely knows that I shoot from the hip....I'm honest in my reviews.... I can only speak from my experience... And in my experience this place is great !“

“The chicken tenders were clearly hand breaded in a super unique fashion. Sauces weee phenomenal and fries were a quality crinkle cut. Atmosphere is amazing - can’t wait to go back and hang. Only downsides - tenders a bit smaller than expected and foam boxes does no favors with fried food. All staff was exceptionally friendly and the facility was spotless!“

“Our server Jayden delivered outstanding service, providing a personalized experience that felt like dining at our own home. His professionalism and attentiveness were evident, and his caring demeanor made us feel like family. We appreciate his service and will certainly return, thank you 🙏“

“BIG THANKS TO DREMA!! We quickly enjoyed a wonderful “veggie plate” lunch (plus soup) at O’Boro Chedder’s, as recommended by our awesome server, Drema! Thanks, young lady?? BF“

“We had a great time here! Party of 4 for dinner on a Friday. The rack of ribs, surf and turf, and kids pizza and fries were great! The service was awesome as well. Our waiter was Santos and he was fantastic. The manager Kim was also wonderful!“

“It is unfair how good the boneless wings have been lately. Mango habanero, nashville hot, and honey BBQ are TOP NOTCH flavors that you cannnot find anywhere else. Great thursday buy one get one deal, and the new endless app deal for 9.99 is amazing. Great“

“Had a great server today named Hallie. I had the new stuffed French toast which seemed like a donut that was cooked like French toast, but was still good. The restaurant is a bit understaffed honestly but I’ve never had a bad experience there. Hallie was kind and attentive.“
