“Absolutely the best catfish and hush puppies around.“

“Food is always delicious and plentiful“

“If I could give y’all a hundred stars I would! We had about 30 people coming together for my birthday. I had been in communication with a different restaurant (Cowfish) for over a month preparing because 30 people at a restaurant is NOT a small feat! They decided to give me a hard time the night of and were not really willing to accommodate us. We decided to find another restaurant. I immediately knew that NO ONE was going to be able to accommodate 30 people on a Saturday Evening but I was wrong! BONEFISH to the rescue! Before we even got across the street the tables were pushed together and prepped with menus water and silverware! Not only that even with a party of our size everything was executed perfectly! The food was delicious, we had a great time, the managers were friendly, and our server was the GREATEST (especially to be new to serving large parties.) I even loved my little art work on my to go box! We love intentionality! Shout out to Rasheive! All in all it was a 10/10 night, with 10/10 people in a 10/10 restaurant! Definitely coming back. ❤️“

“The Depot on First has been open since October 2023 and since then has simply excelled as the only fine dining restaurant in the area. I think much of their success is based on the fact they not only maintain consistency in areas such as attention to detail, exceptional customer service and quality culinary experience, they also continue to evolve and adapt to changing tastes, trends, and customer preferences. I enjoy seeing their ongoing tasting and intimate dining events, of which I will have to attend at some point. Another cornerstone of success for many restaurant's is Authenticity, and this Farm-to-table restaurant continues to prioritize authenticity by sourcing quality ingredients directly from local farms and producers. They don't take any shortcuts when it comes to freshly prepared food to save time which is why I will wait patiently in the elegantly decorated intimate, warm and inviting dining room for my entree upon every visit. No Rush! Just me bring me another perfectly prepared old fashioned. Don't hesitate to step outside of the box and try something new on the menu, I am not a fan of porkchops, but I have become a fan of theirs. This is an environment that will put a smile on your face, Ben and staff are simply exceptional, every visit feels like coming home to dinner. I look forward to spending some time out on the beautiful back patio this spring. Cheers!“

“I ordered through DoorDash and I cannot wait to go in and sit down. They gave me so much food it was literally 3 small meals for me. The flavor was 10/10 and cooked to perfection. If you're in the Clayton area pull up. You will not be disappointed. 👌🏽“

“Extremely friendly staff, happy environment. Food was amazing 🙂‍↕️“

“We LOVED this place!! Having traveled to Peru and knowing we loved the food while we were there, we were curious to see if this would hold up to our fond memories. Not only was the food delicious and comforting, the staff were extremely warm, fun and friendly! We had the Aji de Galina which is like the kind of soothing, yummy comfort food you long for after a hard week! We also had the Bistec del Pobre which blew my husband's mind. The steak was perfectly cooked, the chimichurri sauce was incredibly flavorful without being overpowering and the rice and bean concoction it comes with was divine! We're happy to have this restaurant downtown and look forward to it being one of our frequents!“

“The gentleman who took my order was very polite! My food tastes great too!“

“We recently went to Brodeto to discover what all of the hype was about. From the minute we walked into the restaurant until the moment we walked out, I have nothing but great things to say about this restaurant. i honestly believe it was one of the best dining experiences I have ever had. The food is awesome and the staff was spot on in every aspect. I can only hope that everyone has the same experience that I was able to witness.“

“Island seafood company delivers the best, freshest seafood I’ve ever had. That includes their fisherman’s oysters. I’ve never had fresher tasting oysters, even at the best restaurants around like Oyster Rock, which is supposed to be known for good oysters. Nothing compares to the quality of their products. And a shout for that incredible crab dip!“

Oak has quickly become a frequent date night spot for us and will be for years to come. The food is always amazing and John our waiter (as well as the entire staff) has always treated us like family.“

“The staff (I worked with Sean) was incredibly professional and helpful and truly helped make my husband’s 40th birthday celebration special. The private room was the perfect size for our group of 25, and the food was absolutely delicious. Everything from start to finish was seamless. This is a great spot for a date night or for hosting a celebration! I would definitely recommend it.“

The staff is extremely attentive which is more than I’d expect at any restaurant (post-pandemic). Thank you Audrey and the triage team at North Hills. Staying together is an awesome accomplishment for us and you all reminded us what a big deal real love truly is. Continued blessings to you all. Cheers 🥂“

“I placed a pick up order and everything was cooked perfectly. Our favorite meal is the salmon, it has such a great flavor. Hats off to the chef. The food was delivered to the car as soon as i pulled into a space. I didn’t even call to say I’m here. It was excellent service. I’m very happy with my experience with Outback in Clayton!!!!“

“The meals here are really decked out! You better come hungry and I can see why it is popular because most of the dishes are just about $10. It's a nofrills space and food came out pretty quick.

Ironically the soup pot was not that great, quite flavorless, but the fried thick noodles were awesome and bursting with flavor.“

“Visited red lobster again..... and again, no salad! This is second time in 3 months i was told they have no lettuce. Say what??? Food is always very good.... but why no salad?“

“My Thai Chicken Salad was incredible and quite a huge portion The peanut butter pie was out of this world My server Courtney Lynne was the icing on the cake So fun knowledgeable and so very pleasant. She helped make my 62nd birthday awesome“

“had a great time here. food was authentic and delicious!“

“First time we have been there and definitely worth the drive. I got fried Shrimp with sides and Husband got blue male crabs. All were fantastic. The staff and owner are wonderful and made us very welcomed. Even the customers were so friendly and welcoming.“

“Drinks bomb. Food bomb. I was upset that they were out of the sushi that they offer. I really wanted to try it. I heard it was very good but I can't include in my review. I can't wait to return. Hopefully everything on the menu will be available for order“

“The food and service was great!“

“Chloe was our waitress and she was amazing! I come here fairly often and she’s been the best service I’ve had in a long time. Although everyone is super nice but her customer service was superb. Thank you for making my night amazing! ❤️❤️❤️“

“Sea bass, Brussels, potatoes, filet, and dirty martini were fantastic! Will visit again.“

“Absolutely an outstanding experience! The Peddler went out of their way to create a wonderful rehearsal dinner event. From Sarah's planning to Emily's coordinating to Sarah's waitressing to Ernie's grilling - everything was superb - especially the delicious meal. Thank you for making Danny and Kat's evening a special memory!“

“Amazing 38 flavors and fresh food. 👍👍👍👍👍👍“

“I usually don't write reviews. However, this place is a shocker to me. The food is always Great! But....What ever you do...do not order your food online!! If you order your food online and have a family emergency, you are not allowed to cancel the order or get a refund! I was told, "come pick up your food before you go to the hospital with your child. We don't like to waste food." Instead of them being empathetic, issuing a refund and giving the food that was prepared to staff member or server. DO NOT ORDER YOUR FOOD IN ADVANCE. Just be prepared!“

“Desde que llegas hasta que te vas todo es genial servicio, ambiente comida en fin todo. Gracias la terraza por sus atenciones“

“Food was delicious as usual and staff were all friendly and helpful. My favorite place to eat out.“

“Great place for fried fish and shrimp. Very clean place and great customer service.
Their lunch specials are very reasonable during the week and their lemonade is yummy.
Weekends we get the 10 piece whiting platter, fried shrimp, and their chicken wings. Yup you heard me right …their chicken wings are so good. We ask them to fry the French fries crispy and get mamba sauce to dip them in. Their hush puppies are good especially when you dip it in mamba sauce. Everything is tasty and I love the cornmeal crispiness of the fish, it’s great on the heat up the next day.
Their prices went up a little since the summer time, but that’s to be expected since they are popular and well..the economy.“

“I love Salt Grass but today we had a bad experience there with our reservation I called and they didn’t put my name on the waitlist talk to a manager she added my name but we still ended up waiting about 2hrs 45 minutes for our table the mangers was really nasty Heather act like she didn’t want to sit us and seem like she was over looking the black and when finally got a table we had a really nice waiter name Becky but our food at one of the tables had to be sent back because it was cold then your other manager had us waiting for about another 35 to 40 minutes to check out because it was a very bad day there“

“I had fried oysters and fried fish. The oysters did not taste very good to me. The fish was okay. Another person had broiled jumbo shrimp and they said they were pretty decent. Another person at the table with us said their plate was good.
I won't say that I will not eat there again but it will not be my first option. I think the server did a good job.“

“food is always great! haven't got anything negative to say.. all of em were great! my kids love their food as well! the chef was nice enough to come over my table and check how the food was.. honestly 1 of the best chinese restaurant I've been to. keep it up guys! specially the quality of your foods!👍“
