“If you're looking for the perfect spot to relax, enjoy a great meal, and feel like part of a community, look no further! We've gone to EVT about a dozen times now and it's always on point!

From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with a warm, family-friendly atmosphere that always makes us feel at home. The menu is fantastic, always something for everyone, from comfort food classics to delicious, creative specials. If you're a beer lover, they have tons of draft beer options that rotate regularly, so there's always something new to try.

The service is always top-notch. The waitresses are friendly, attentive, and genuinely care about making your experience great. The bartenders are knowledgeable and fun, they know their drinks, and they know how to take care of a crowd.

What really sets this place apart is the management and ownership. The team clearly cares about their staff, their customers, and the community. The owner is always around (very handsome), making sure everything runs smoothly and taking time to chat with guests. You can tell this isn't just a business to them, it's a passion, and it shows in every detail. They frequently host fundraising events as well and are becoming a pillar in the community.

Whether you're coming in with your kids for dinner, meeting friends for drinks, or just grabbing a quick bite, this place delivers every time. Can't recommend it enough!“

“We have been using Carte 24 with Sa now for 5 years, I'll admit we did have some issues but that was Go Daddy problem. Sa was quick to fix the problem and we have not had any problems since. We have over $5000. A month in online sales, and the system is user friendly and works great, you can customize to your own business needs. No monthly "maintenance" fees like some of these other companies.
Give Sa a call and get online today.“

“I love it here! I’ve ordered in person, online, and over the phone. It is equally delicious every single time. I’ve never missed here. My favorite items are the Cran Wally wrap and the pilgrim sandwich. Generous portions, always well made. I wish I had photos but I always eat it before I get the chance to take one. The staff is very helpful and polite, very clean environment inside. Really can’t go wrong with anything on the menu!“

“Dear Kenny, I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude and admiration for the incredible experience your team provided during my mother’s 60th birthday celebration Saturday night. From the very beginning of this journey to the final moments of the event, your staff exceeded every expectation and delivered an experience that was nothing short of extraordinary. I had the pleasure of working closely with Sophie Fish for the past four months. I live in Atlanta, so we planned this event through text messages, emails and phone calls. Her attentiveness, professionalism, and dedication were evident every step of the way. She even gave me her personal number to ensure I could reach her anytime—talk about going above and beyond! Sophie was cooperative, easy to work with, and always attentive to our needs. Her regular check-ins during the event ensured everything went off without a hitch. The rest of the staff mirrored Sophie’s excellence. The servers were friendly, efficient, and professional, ensuring all our guests felt welcomed and cared for. The food was nothing short of spectacular—every dish was beautifully prepared and delicious, adding to the overall perfection of the evening. Paul also deserves a special mention for his incredible work with the sound system. He ensured everything ran smoothly, allowing us to enjoy the music and speeches without any issues. His attention to detail added so much to the ambiance of the celebration. The entire experience was top-tier, over-the-top amazing. I couldn’t have asked for a better team to help celebrate such a special milestone in my mother’s life. Your establishment’s commitment to excellence and customer satisfaction was evident in every aspect of the evening. Please extend my heartfelt thanks to your entire team. Dewey’s Jazz Lounge will forever hold a special place in our hearts, and I look forward to visiting again soon. Warm regards, Asia Roberson“

“We are from Rhode Island and were in the area to visit Six Flags. Found Marks Restaurant using Google maps for breakfast near me. The food was excellent. The homemade bread was even better. Probably not a common comment, but my view of the kitchen from the register it’s a very clean and neat setup. I’ve worked in foodservice delivery and have always viewed restaurants from back of house which influenced my decision to eat there. I recommend Marks and will be back! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I've been going to Friendlys since I was kid. love their sundaes. great place to go. great family restaurant“

“We ended up here due to our intended restaurant being closed. It was the BEST mistake ever. The food was amazing! Everything came out hot and fresh. Julie (the owner) answered all our questions about the restaurant, shared her and her husband's story and it truly felt like we were dining with family. We had the brussel sprouts, mac n cheese, potatoes, yams and garlic chicken. And then Julie brought us churros for Cinco de Mayo! It was hard to pick just one meal off this menu. I wish my conference was longer so I had another night to come back and try more. Don't miss out on a great meal if you are in town.NOTE: BYOB so grab your favorite bottle of wine or liquor to enjoy.“

“Hidden gem, spfld. Is lucky to have a place like this.“

“Made to order great food. A place with personality! Christo is amazing“

“Great food great people , love this place“

“Food was good. Fries were not hot but so much else we did not eat them anyway. I did not read the online menu properly the prices were for take out only I did not see that below the listing. I own that it was my fault . They had erased the prices off the board maybe because Saturday night. Prices on the drinks menu were not accurate . We ordered a capacino I expected a small cup as it was priced at $2 on the menu. Was a delicious drink in a glass but was $6. Was told that was old prices but on all the menus. I was charged 6 and was told they could not credit me as the owner was not there. The drink was probably worth 6 but the menu should be correct. My fish was very good. Salad mediocre mainly just lettuce and blue cheese dressing was very bitter. We will probably give it another try. Staff very good. I will ask the prices next time.“

“Kaptain Jimmy's offers a delightful dining experience with its unique blend of Southern-inspired cuisine and handcrafted spirits. The menu boasts a delectable selection of locally-sourced ingredients, expertly prepared and presented with flair. Whether you're indulging in their award-winning bourbon or savoring the flavorful dishes, Kaptain Jimmy's is a must-visit destination for those seeking a memorable culinary adventure.“

“Emily is the greatest bartender, waitress around. Food is all good as well“

“I just ate there for the second time. Had the turkey thanksgiving sandwich on sourdough with onion rings. Let me just say , it was amazing !! The Turkey was real not lunch meat and the onion rings were freshly cut. It was enough for 2. I will be eating there again.“

“Best pizza in town ! Tried out the new pesto pizza was amazing! Only place that has the best curly fries in Somers“

“Krispy Krunchy Chicken, 190 E. Eau Gallie Blvd., Indian Harbor Beach, FL 32937 You 4 Stars (chain restaurant review) Instead of going for a quick Burger or Taco, why not mix it up a bit and head over to your local KKC and change up the routine? Yes, I said KKC, not KFC. The one my random name generator directed me to in Indian Harbor Beach, FL, is 1 of over 2,700 locations across 47 of these United States and some in Malaysia and American Samoa, mainly in convenience stores and gas stations. This one beachside is super clean and, well, beachside. As I stepped up to the counter, I was greeted by Ryan. He is the counter specialist and cook as well. Ryan has a fetching personality and was exceedingly helpful as we placed our order. I ordered some Honey Biscuits, Fried Shrimp, Fried Fish and some Cajun Chicken Tenders. Ryan excused himself to the kitchen while we sat and snapped a few pictures of the place. As I said, it is clean enough to pass any white glove test. I thought it would be nice if the tables had a virginal to pass the time when Ryan indicated our order was up. If a place is advertising hand-breaded chicken, their biscuits better not be the Sysco plug-n-play variety and these weren't. They were obviously made to order and outstanding on the palate. Baked to a perfect golden brown, these were warm, flaky and drizzled in honey. I would rate the biscuits at 4.5 Stars and these are worth the trip all by themselves. They would also make a great after-school/work/errand snack. Next, I took a sampling of the Fried Shrimp. This was nothing to write home about but nothing to scoff at either. The shrimp were of a good size and deep fried to a pleasing color, just missing a little "oomph" to push them over a slightly above-average rating of 3 Stars. Moving on, I set my peepers on the Fried Fish. If the Fried Shrimp was slightly above average, the Fried Fish was slightly below. The Fish had an ever so light fishy taste and as we all know, it shouldn't. The Fried Fish, by itself, would have a meager 2-star rating. This brings me to the final item in my order, the Cajun Chicken Tenders. I went with the 6 PCs, which is a good thing I did as they weren't long for the table! How could you go wrong with hand-breaded breast tenders in a savory coating with tasty dipping sauces? The Tenders were deep fried to a model color and doneness that would make Gordon Ramsay say, "Now, that's an Effin' chicken tender!" If I were just rating the Tenders, this would be a 4.5 Star review all day, every day. As it is, I'm sticking with the 4 Star until they get fresher fish. The Big Boy says, "You know you want some, so just give in and go."“

“Food was outstanding! Love the atmosphere too“

“I used to go here years ago for lunch all the time, haven't been in for a visit in many years. Stopped in June of 2025, WOW! Waitress provided FAST, POLITE and GREAT service. FOOD WAS AMAZING! Had a blueberry pancake, Iced tea, Eggs, Bacon, Home Fries and Rye toast. Large portions, GREAT TASTE, EXCELLENT prices! I will definitely visit more.“

“Amazing, such a fun activity its not only golfing you can do a bunch of other things like soccer, zombie fighting, and more on the Topgolf machines still utilizing the Topgolf tracker and more. It is very fun to do at night and of course the amazing MGM TAP built with the floors of Dr.Seuss home.“

“Professional staff, outstanding service quality food. A gem for West Side.“

“Picks did an outstanding job on dinner last night for Valentines. The steak was cooked perfectly and they accommodated a gluten and dairy allergy with advance notice nicely. The salmon was also great! Service was outstanding and this place is like a hidden gem steps away from MGM Springfield. We even returned for breakfast. They had a great fritta for breakfast. Nothing but the gravy was made with milk or butter.“

“From initial venue tour to picking up our decor the day after our wedding, the team at Storrowton was professional, friendly, accommodating, and knowledgeable. Michele was our main contact and I'm quite certain she could manage a wedding reception in her sleep! The value and location were two of the main reasons we chose Storrowton Carriage House for our ceremony and reception. This venue had so much included in the package price and didn't nickel and dime us for things like champagne toasts (included in price), linens and table settings (included), and the option to borrow centerpieces. The food was EXCEPTIONAL! We had so many guests share this sentiment with us the day of and immediately after. We wholeheartedly recommend Storrowton Tavern & Carriage House!“

“Great service, the food arrived quickly and was very good, and our server was very attentive. The place was clean too.“

“First time here. Was immediately greeted and seated. Waitress was super duper nice, pleasant and professional. She was so great with making sure my daughter was taken care of with kid type things to keep her occupied. Took a minute to get the food, but it was worth it. Will definitely go back if I'm ever in the area again. Try it out, worth every penny we spent.“

“We enjoy Jake’s for the ice cream, the omelettes. Food is always good and service is friendly. Miss the Sunday morning breakfast.“

“The artichoke appetizer was amazing along with the prime rib dinner and the chicken forester!!! Huge dinner portions! Service was great also!!!! Would definitely go back!!“

“After moving to the area, Nosh Café and Restaurant has quickly become one of my favorite places to enjoy brunch in Springfield. They offer a fantastic selection of vegetarian and vegan options which can sometimes be hard to find. Additionally, the atmosphere is both fun and relaxing with consistently friendly and welcoming staff. If you like to read or are looking for a new cookbook, Nosh has quite the selection of books available for purchase.

My personal recommendations:
- Nosh the Rainbow Sandwich
- Namaste Burger
- Falafel Burger
- Any of their pastries
- Seasonal Coffees - Current Fave: Salted Caramel Oatie“

“I feel it’s important to share Three Figs is under new management and has made quite a turnaround. I waited until I experienced several successful visits before writing this review so I could be certain in my recommendation. I’ve now dined in a small group, a larger group, in the dining room, in the bar and as part of a civic group banquet in the back room. Each time, I have been pleased and satisfied. The food has been delicious (both regular menu and specials) and the service prompt & exceptional. I find the atmosphere warm & welcoming, reminding me of Cheers (the neighborhood place where everybody knows your name). Our dinner this past week was a positive experience in specific ways. We didn’t have a reservation and the parking lot was packed. Yet our wait was surprisingly short, and enjoyable at the bar with friendly service. Once in the dining room, our server was kind, helpful and happy…and very accommodating when a substitution was requested on an order at our table. The manager even helped serve our plates and made sure we were all enjoying our experience. Noting that the staff worked well together and were all happy…it implies that working there must be positive for them as well. The restaurant itself was also very clean and comfortable. In the past, I could not have shared these same words and had nearly given up on this local, convenient spot. So it pleases me very much to see the new management has turned it around. Having a great spot so close by is appreciated. Congrats Three Figs…your efforts are worth it!“

“Highly recommended for catering. Memo's works with you to accommodate what you need & timing. You couldn't ask for any better. Great food, great services.“

“great food/reasonably priced/waitress outstanding/very clean“

“As always enjoyed our meal and browsing the store“

“Hands down, the best bartender ever, very accurate on making my drink and smiled the entire time, directed me to the bathroom, knows her store. awesome!!“

“Came here for a quick lunch. My waiter was excellent and attentive. Food came out quickly, and the steak was cooked beautifully to temp. There was no seasoing on the steak at all, which was a bit surprising. One strange thing, I came here for bone in wings and they have pictures of delicious chicken wings on their Google profile. Howevwr, they do not serve bone in wings, only boneless wings.“

“Eat is easily my favorite restaurant to dine! If you’re looking for great quality food at a reasonable price with a plethora of daily specials to keep it fun, this is definitely your place to go! Whenever I have the chance to have lunch with someone new, it is my go-to place. The menu is super inclusive whether you are vegan, vegetarian, or an omnivore. 10/10 EVERY TIME. I appreciate their professionalism and thoughtfulness, as well!“

“The good atmosphere and services were very pleasant… The owner introduced herself to us. Food & portions were excellent!!! Highly recommend“

“Michelle was getting slammed today but she handled everything with grace and poise. She made sure our good was good and maintained an amazing attitude in the most of all the chaos going on around her. Michelle deserves a raise asap. Thanks Michelle for being so amazing.“

“My wife, my daughter and I have been coming here almost every Saturday for the past few months and we can say they have not disappointed yet. I think we have tried just about EVERYTHING on the menu and so far everything has been really good. The family are super sweet and very attentive to each customer.
The food is GREAT the prices are just right and their coffee is even better. Come try it out and rate it your self“
