“We had our small wedding at Andre's this past weekend, and I am still in awe of how fantastic the event was. Tracey is an all-star. From coordinating calls, decorating our table, marrying us, to keeping us on schedule. Andre had our whole group raving about how great the food was. From the appetizers to the cake, we really couldn't have asked for better. On top of it all, the location is STUNNING! The staff helping to serve us were so friendly and pleasant and together they all helped make sure our wedding day was the best day of our life. I can't recommend Andre's enough, and we will certainly be returning for a meal!“

Our waitress, Ava, was awesome. We were given a small complementary bottle of Processo which was so nice! We have been there many times before and never had a bad meal. The vintage decor there is fabolous! Highly recommended.“

“Literally waited an hour and 15 minutes with a waitress who basically totally ignored us just to be told "oh, we ran out of country fried steak". 🤬 Needless to say we left. went to Pub 199 was waited on and served in 20 minutes when it is packed.“

“Just had to leave a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ shout out to The Miner's Apron for hosting my mom’s surprise 70th birthday party on Sunday! Vinny and Jess were so easy to work with and had great suggestions throughout the process. Jan always makes us feel like family too! HIGHLY RECOMMEND for your next event.“

“Just used cafe Pierrot to cater a sprinkle I was hosting. Everything was amazing! Placing the order was extremely easy- I sent an email and someone called me right away and quickly responded to any email questions I had. Everyone enjoyed the food and LOVED the cupcakes. Was able to pay in advance online so all I had to do was send someone for pick up the day of the party and everything was ready right away I think food is one of the hardest parts of planning a party. Never know what to get or how much. Being able to simply give them a number of guests and all I had to do was decide which type of salad I wanted, made this part of the party so simple and stress free! Love the one stop shopping aspect where I could get my food, sides, and even cupcakes all from one place. The spread they provide is the perfect mix and they provide the perfect amount, for an awesome price! Definitely recommend using them!!!“

“I have had two bridal showers at Portofino in Oak Ridge, and not only did everyone love the food, but Nancy and the entire staff is outstanding. They go above and beyond to help you in any capacity that they can. I highly recommend Portofino either for lunch, dinner or any kind of event you have whether it is big or small. You can't go wrong with Portofino, I can't say enough great things about the staff and restaurant!“

“The atmosphere was great, and the service we received was very good. However, the waiter brought the check immediately after we finished our meal. We were planning to stay a bit longer and have something to drink, so we didn’t like that and decided not to stay any further. Other than that, everything was lovely.“

“Let me tell you about this place!

I ate here about 3 years ago because I was doing deliveries & wanted to get food nearby & it was solid & fairly priced.

Fast forward 3 years later & I started working at St Clares in Dover & the cafeteria closes on weekends. I remember this place from 3 years ago & wanted a pick up order. I called ahead during my break & at first was told would take 20-30 mins as the lady was working on a big order.

I wanted to cancel since my break is 30 minutes long anyway & the drive to pick up & wait wasn’t worth it. However, the lady insisted to continue ordering & brought the time window down from 30 to 10 minutes so I was like sure.

Lo & behold I came in 10 minutes & not only was my food ready but the big catering order too as well!!

Even though I rushed back eating in the car (to the fault of my own lol) I was so immensely impressed the woman behind the counter put so much effort to making sure I got my food. This is a business that cares about its customers & an incredible story about customer service I will share till the day I die. Kudos from the St Clares hospital team :) !!!“

“Haven’t been to any Fuddruckers in years since they closed in Wayne,NJ. Was amazed to see a location still open. They have a large game room for the kids. One upsetting thing they didn’t have fresh bakery like other locations. Food was hot and fresh. Plus unlimited fries . Was well worth it.“

“I recently dined at Chili's in Mount Olive and had an exceptional experience. The food was delicious, especially the sizzling fajitas. The flavors were vibrant and the portions were generous.
What truly made the evening memorable was the outstanding service provided by the managers, Deniz and Lex. They were incredibly friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to ensure our dining experience was perfect. Their positive attitude and dedication to customer satisfaction were evident.
I highly recommend Chili's in Mount Olive, especially if you're lucky enough to be served by Deniz and Lex. It's a fantastic place to enjoy a great meal and great company.“

“small spot but amazing food and vb great staff.“

“Came for dinner with another couple. The tapas eggplant was delicious, light and flavorful. Just lovely. We had two burgers and two steaks. All delicious and perfectly cooked. Service was excellent and the restaurant is beautiful, however, there is a huge bar in the middle of the restaurant. Which normally would not be an issue but this evening four young women were “working” the older men sitting at the bar. It became clear as the evening progressed that this was going on. None of us could believe what was happening right next to our table!! As the targeted men left the bar the young women quickly moved on to their next victims. It was all very obvious and pretty repulsive. Such a shame to have this type of thing happening in a lovely restaurant. I would hope management will be alerted by the bartenders that their establishment has become prey for this type of behavior. Quite unsettling.“

“We had a 50 person party yesterday I was pleasantly surprised with the buffet they put out for us and I have to give a HUGE shout out to Matt (I’m pretty sure that was his name. Big smile and his hair in a bun). He was the wait staff taking care of all of us and he killed it! Super pleasant and he worked his butt off to serve us all. If you get Matt, take good care of him!!!!“

“My family and I had a wonderful dinner at IHOP. The food was delicious. I had a burger, my wife enjoyed her pancakes, and my daughter polished off her entire burger—which says a lot! The service was excellent; the staff were attentive, friendly, and always had smiles on their faces. We love coming to this IHOP, whether it’s for breakfast-for-dinner nights or after Saturday morning soccer games. It’s always a great experience!“

“I would like to personally thank the Randolph Diner for an amazing banquet for our mothers repast. Their attention to detail and the needs of our family were beautifully met. The food, staff, and location with an elevator were perfect. We can’t thank you enough for all your hospitality. Many thanks, The Betz Family 🌼“

“Haven't been there in years. Went back to try something new. Happily surprised. Went on Friday. Brought the whole family back on Sunday. The service is excellent and very personable. Met the owner. Very nice couple. You don't feel rushed. The food is very good. Large portions so be hungry when you go. Great value. I also enjoyed the music. I just missed the piano player because I had to leave but I'll be back.“
