“We love going to Rollie's which is why we chose them to host our son's groom's dinner last night. We planned it a couple months in advance, spoke with a few of the staff and everyone was great! Fast forward to last night...we all arrived at different times and our server Landon made many trips back and forth to get beverages covered immediately! I had the food order all ready for him, the kitchen manager was so helpful...our food for 25 people came out fast and our group loved every bit of it...we did pizza and wings buffet style. Everybody had a wonderful time and kept commenting how great the food was! Thank you Rollie's and extra thanks to Landon for such a great job!!! BTW, if you're looking for the best wings in the area-this is the place!”

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.

“The way I can describe this food is multiple flavors dancing in your mouth as you eat, I don’t have any other words to describe it, just amazing. I had a hard time trying to find it because is no longer Safari Point Restaurant but Malkaa Ethiopian Restaurant. The menu said the beverage was included with my dish but they still charged me. Probably because I got agua fresca (idk how it’s called) instead of regular beverage. Other than that, don’t miss this place!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Texas Roadhouse: Out-of-This-World Service and Flavor!” I don’t normally write reviews, but Texas Roadhouse blew me away! The steaks, ribs, and rolls are all incredible—seriously, the flavors are next-level. But what made the night unforgettable was the service. Juan Carlos was phenomenal. Attentive, friendly, and just plain awesome. He made sure every detail of our meal was perfect, and his energy lit up the whole table. Honestly, he should be promoted to manager—he’s that good. Mario, if you’re reading this, take note: Juan Carlos is a superstar. He’s the kind of team member who elevates the whole restaurant. Recognize him—he deserves it. From the food to the fun atmosphere to the top-notch service, Texas Roadhouse delivers an experience that’s truly out of this world. Can’t wait to go back! 🚀 Verdict: 5/5 stars — Juan Carlos makes it unforgettable.”

“As a guest at the hotel for nearby job project, I found Legends as their bar & restaurant, and stopped for lunch on my work break. I was first disappointed that my call to order before I arrived, that went to voice mail. I only had an hour. Went down there and the staff was so kind and helpful. It was Labor Day weekend so no one answers the phone I guess. * * The burger and fries were 10 out of 10!!! Perfectly cooked, flavor like fine steak. Fries had coating that I usually don’t like but they were not at all greasy. Excellent in every way. The waiter kept checking on me with a cold beverage on a 91 degree day. It was a pleasant surprise. Thank you”
