“Amazing Ethiopian food! Many of the "Americanized items" on the menu were not available, so we went with their recommendations on the most popular Ethiopian options.

Sambusa, cheesy fries, Melkka Special, and Shekla Tebs made up our meal. Dispite never having had ethnic foods like this, our kids absolutely loved it as well.

And of course we had some delicious Baklava to finish the meal.“

“A surprising find when we were looking for a restaurant with a quiet side room for a small family celebration. My grilled salmon was great & our server, Mia went out of her way to be sure we had everything we might want. There was even a bar for those who wanted something to drink. Thanks for a great venue.“

“I was in charge of a catering order for about 25 people that needed to be kept warm for several hours in chafing dishes.

Just like fresh out of the kitchen and customized for a very particular guest group, THANK YOU!“

Or with a sunday, they just can't seem to figure that out and I live at these places when I travel.Because they do have gluten free.They need to do more training and gluten free and always ask if you want a gluten free bun.Or if you do not want a gluten free bun.

“I have been going to Bo Diddleys for over 30 years and Bo Diddleys subs are the best except for the fact that they switched to Miracle Whip from the traditional Mayo. I remember them trying this switch years ago and they did end up going back to Mayo. At least give us a choice between Miracle Whip and Mayo. Remainder of menu is great.“

“Service was great and food was incredible!!! Highly recommend ❤️👏“

“Went with my husband for our anniversary. Had a great time. My husband is a meat eater but I am vegan and the waiter I believe his name was Andrew; was very helpful in telling me what I could and couldn’t eat. Was happy to hear a few of their vegetarian items can be made vegan/already are vegan. Food was delicious and the atmosphere was perfect.“

“G-Allen’s went above and beyond to accommodate our youth hockey team and their parents this weekend on very short notice. Our waitress was friendly, funny and well organized. Thank you so much!“

“Stars should be more like 3-1/2 due to how long everything took. We came here just to eat. The dining area wasn't very full, but it took quite awhile to get water and menus. Then a very long time before our orders were taken. AND then a very long time to get our food. All the waiting took almost an hour and a half. The food was good but not good enough to justify the wait.“

“We love Lincoln! Have for years! Great food, beer selection and great waitstaff. Fun atmosphere!!“

“Love the Prime Rib Sandwich!“

“one of the best burgers I have ever had. Great atmosphere and fantastic service!“

“Great burger!! We will be back!“

“I went to Job Sims house for a service call for his air conditioner not working. Jon immediately offered me breakfast as he is a cook at granite city. I politely declined and continued working. After I finished fixing his air conditioner Jon comes out with a plate of food saying it wasn’t in his nature to not give out food. I went back to the shop and ate the best homemade burrito I have ever had. Jon was not only one of the nicest people I have met but also one of the best cooks. You will not be disappointed going to granite city and receiving a meal made by Jon!“

“Great food and very friendly staff! Definitely will keep coming back!“

“great noon specials, and awesome service from Jen.“

The taco bar was perfect, the staff attended to all our needs, everything was timely and exactly what was asked - could not have gone more perfect! Definitely a thumbs up from us - our guests commented how great the accommodations and food were as well. Much appreciated!“

“I cannot give enough praise to this business for the fabulous food and service given for my daughter’s wedding on May 8! Hailey is a master organizer, from our sample dining experience to the actual wedding meal, everything was handled promptly and professionally! Serving 140 guests a hot and delicious meal is a challenge in itself, but we had many guests saying that this was the best food they have ever had at a wedding! Recommendations all the way!!.......

“my girlfriend and I came down from hoffman, MN for her late birthday supper and it was absolutely fabulous. The restaurant is setup in a very esthetic 1920's and older fashion with outdoor dining next to the river. We had the three little pigs entree and it not only tasted great but was a very big portion and reasonably priced for the amount. I highly recommend this place and we look forward to coming back in the future!“

“Love the location. Used to live around there. Nice hotel. Hot showers. Comfortable beds. Great place“

“I'd just like to say, season is a sweetheart. We didn't get off on the right foot my first time here. It was because she was so busy at being a great bartender. I came into the bar very emotional and needed a drink. So lucky she was there.“

“Let me FIRST SAY WOW!!! The staff here the food the drink, everything is amazing. I travel the world for food sometimes and the BEST wings and CRISPY Calamari are Here! The Chef is a Master at his craft in all cuisines ! Tim the manager is absolute in attention to detail and taking care of things , Austyn is just one of the bartenders and she’s amazing keeping up with everything if it’s busy! I can’t say enough I really can’t ! I own a business I’m always in Clearwater but never been here!! I know my new place !“

“Fabulous bar restaurant- great food and cold beer 🍻! We’ve been coming with and without kids for 12 years- the best!“

“Highly recommend, awesome fun place!!!!!!! Great food, people and great time :)))“

“We and my girlfriend stopped here for lunch and it was our first time eating here. Since the weather was nice, we decided to sit at the outdoor patio. We were greeting by a friendly waiter who was happy to give us some suggestions on their popular dishes. I decided to get a pickled loon burger and my girlfriend got the Rueben. We got the dill pickle cheese curds as an appetizer.
The food came quick and looked great. The cheese curds were hand battered and were very light tasting. Not drenched in grease and were very good. My burger was pretty good but I think next time I’ll get something a little more different than just a bacon cheeseburger. The gfs Ruben was delicious! I was lucky enough that she shared a few bites with me and it was phenomenal! Prices were great as well. About the same if not a little cheaper than fast food but tastes wayyyyy better!

This place is a fun hang out. A very cool atmosphere inside and nice and relaxing and a good place to people watch outside. I would highly recommend this to anyone in the area! I can’t wait to go back and try some others!“

“My lunch at Red Lobster ( I visit each week) was wonderful! The food and ordered drinks are consistently delicious. By far, the service and friendly, knowledgeable staff members are the primary reason for my patronage. Each member of staff is personable, respectful and helpful. These qualities are the reason I continually to come to Red Lobster.“

“Staff is great. There is a quiet soft spoken young manager or host who is absolutely lovely“

“This Famous Dave's has been a favorite of mine for a very long time. Its very sad to see this location close today. The service and food has always been the best. St.cloud,Mn. Doesn't seem to be able. keep great restaurants for some reason.“

“We had Lily's at our wedding on 10-5-24. Steven was great to work with all the way up to the wedding and even worked with me so he wouldn't show up during our ceremony! I have nothing but good things to say, everyone kept coming up to me to comment on how good the food was. Steven served all 200+ guests by himself and didn't stop moving. I will always recommend Lily's. Thank you for everything!“

“Our order was wrong. They made it right within minutes. The fried pickles and mushrooms were spot on.“

“We shared a pizza. When it came out, it was just beautiful like a work of art. The taste was stellar! I would highly recommend and will certainly go back myself.
