“Just had lunch there. I was able to get my favorite breakfast sandwich...bacon, egg and cheese on croissant. LOTS of bacon compared to fast food places! 😋 The staff was nice and friendly. The food was out in a timely manner even though a number of people came in for lunch right after I ordered. I'll be back! ☺️“

“We have been eating at JJ's for some time.
My family dines there. The waitresses are very good at remembering customers. I say this because shortly after my brother in law passed, we went into JJ's to have their all you can eat catfish on a Friday. While we were there the waitress noticed that my brother in law was missing in our group. Once she found out he had passed, she sent her condolences and continued to wait on us in a professional manner. I thought it was kind of her to notice his absence and then offer her cond9lences and continue to wait on us in a respectful way.
Thank you to that waitress. And, thank you to the restaurant for having employees who offer care and compassion still showing respect for the customer's feelings.“

“Great breakfast. Burgers. Lunch. Friendly staff.“

“Normally not a bad experience but went in for takeout and it took forever to get my food which was ready but they were ringing bottles of wine out for the tasting and doing takeout orders from the same place. Normally almost nothing bad to say but I was disappointed this time. Will update next time I'm there.“

“I would like to thank Hobos at the Legion for furnishing the Christmas dinner at Church Street Village Senior Apartments. The food was fantastic! We can’t thank you enough for the meal and you have made some new die-hard friends! You are the BEST! Did I mention the delicious dinner? Thank you for a great dinner that some maybe wouldn’t have had and you came to the rescue! Happy New Year to everyone at Hobo’s! See you soon!“

“Great service, great people, great food, enough said.“

“An older gentleman host named Mark went above and beyond customer service. He was incredibly kind and sociable!
Now, the waitress, I would give her 2 stars since I had to go to the bar and ask her to take our order, but all in all, I had a great visit.“

“Good food, good service, and no naggy anyone.
Our waiter was great didn't hover or rush, checked in with us that perfect amount. Food was good but it usually is. Actually never had a bad meal at Applebee's. Yum! Yum!
Great now I'm hungry again.“

“I absolutely love Ruby Tuesday! I’m here about once a week for their AMAZING salad bar—hands down the best around. The selection is incredible, making it such a fresh and healthy option.\n\nYou can customize your salad with a base of romaine hearts, iceberg, or spinach mix, and the toppings are endless! Some of my favorites include the crunchy onions, pico de gallo, diced eggs, and a delicious dressing mix of ranch and balsamic vinaigrette.\n\nBeyond the greens, they offer delicious extras like ham and pasta salad, broccoli salad, potato salad, and a tasty rice blend. But the real star? The crunchy, flavorful brown bread croutons! I love them so much I always grab a separate plate just for croutons.\n\nThe staff is friendly, and the manager is wonderful! Whether dining in or taking out, you can’t go wrong. The takeout option is fantastic—no weighing, just one set price, and I can usually get 2-3 servings from one tray. Plus, their daily deals make it even better. If you're looking for a fresh, healthy meal with great service, don’t miss out on Ruby Tuesday!“

“Just had a business lunch with around 15 people. The service was great, and the food was good. Food came out quickly and they got all the orders right. Highly recommend Goodwood for your next business meeting or even company Holiday party.“

“I recommend them but you guys missed the boat on St. Patrick’s Day plates. Mashed potatoes and vegetable medley for $17. Corned Beef. Boiled potatoes and cabbage that is all you need to serve. And the corned beef was cut so thin.“

“We used to PAY THE LIGHT BILL at Tommy boys , which we enjoyed. With our busy schedules after the new ownership and switch to STL throwdowns, we haven’t made it in much but we just made another visit on a whim and are SO GLAD WE DID! The catfish nuggets, can’t be beat! The staff is attentive and friendly and we truly felt like part of the fam!! I dont want to be in the young club bars and this is the perfect mix of entertainment and relaxation after a long week! 100% can say, this was our FAVORITE visit. Will definitely be added to our weekly dinner stops.“

“This is mu favorite bar for fabulous food and a friendly face. Staff is always amazing. Ashley behind the bar makes creative shots, just tell her what you're in the mood for. Most nights the owner is checking on tables and making her rounds, always taking time to talk to the regulars. Food is amazing. Huge salads and canzone. Come check it out, just leave me a seat at the bar.“

“our compliments to the chef tonight, March. 23, 2025. we ate dinner there between 4 and 5. our dinner was the best it has ever been. my husband and I both got road kill and tonight it seemed more charcoaled all over. the inside was cooked to our liking but the outside seemed morecharcoaled/crispy I guess you would say. it really tasted good. we come once a week or at least once every 2 weeks. tonight was the best! thank you.

“I ordered a turtle sundae for the 1st time here. For over 20 years, I have gotten my turtle sundaes elsewhere, so I was skeptical when my granddaughter suggested Culver's. I was completely, and totally mind blown! Culver's turtle sundae was the BEST I've EVER HAD! I will continue to come to Culver's for my turtle sundaes!“

“The woman working the window today just after 7 am MADE MY DAY. She was so friendly and laughing with me. She put me in such a good mood as I ordered my XL coffee to make it through my insane work week. I adore her and am so happy I was able to interact with her this morning. (Also so sorry I didn’t catch her name.) My drink and sandwich were delicious as usual!“

“Best Waffel House I have been at. Stopped in about 11pm, staff working were all friendly, seemed to actually enjoy their job's. Food was good, and restaurant was clean. Only thing that was weird is getting there from highway, almost missed road to restaurant.“

“very welcoming staff , had a lovely evening with family“

“Hannah was truly amazing and courteous, I will come back and ask for her! She’s awesome!!“

“Had a great experience despite the circumstances. I called when they opened to let them know I was bringing a group of 10 at a specific time in the evening! I was told, “Thanks for the heads up.” When we arrived we were told it would be 40 minutes and there was one waiter. The Hostess even called another location to see if we could get in sooner. Same wait, we decided to wait it out. We had excellent service from Katelyn and a gentleman, I unfortunately didn’t get his name who was trying to help her. Food came out fast, right and delicious. All the while Katelyn would have never made it feel as she was the only waitress in the entire restaurant. Thank you!!“

“We love this location and the staff. To the lady who was SO kind to my kiddo today, 10 stars! Not only she was she so kind to us but to all of the customers. We need more people in the world like her.“

“I had a cheeseburger & fries for lunch. The burger was very good. I was a bit disappointed that the menu was slimmed down from what I saw on the online menu. I was hoping for a French dip sandwich but it wasn't available. The atmosphere was primarily bar style with high tables, dart games, a stage for live entertainment and a few large TV screens.“

“Cali was the best bartender I’ve experienced in this facility. She was such a good time and the reason I will be coming back.“

“Great food and great service. Love the drink specials.“

“This manager knows the meaning of customer service, the food is great, and we will be back!!“
