“omg the chicken and ribs 😍 4 get about it 😍😂😂“

“Typical local Mexican restaurant & bar operated by a dominican staff. The bar service was great. The food was average at best. I ordered the steak tostadas, wings, and fries. The wings were fried too hard. The tostadas needed seasoning. Overall, I had a great time watching the Canelo fight.“

“Food and drinks were amazing. Only complaint is waited too long, over 30 min, for our food. Watched as people who sat after us finished their food and left.“

“Awesome food and like the most of their dishes“

“Great ambience, excellent service and delicious soulful food. I had an amazing experience 👍🏼“

“An absolute gem in the UES! Delicious food, generous serving sizes, and a nice happy hour cocktail. I've now been a few times and I think there's something for everyone. Both the steak frites and the shrimp and cheesy grits were heavenly and I always get the mac and cheese to start. Great for a nice date or a solo weeknight dinner.“

“What can I say about this amazing restaurant, Bird Dog. Not only was the food absolutely amazing, tasty and presented perfectly, the staff was kind, attentive and extremely friendly. Bird Dog gives very New York vibes with a soft Southern hospitality touch. I’m not only saying this because I’ve known the owner/operator for over 15 years but because the food and experience was great! Recommend to any/all foodies local and visitors to the area.“

“Commodore in Manhattan's Lower East Side is a true gem, boasting a beautifully designed interior that perfectly blends a casual vibe with a touch of elegance. The build-out features warm wooden accents and stylish decor, creating an inviting atmosphere that's perfect for a relaxed meal.

The standout dish is undoubtedly the spicy fish sandwich. It’s a perfect balance of flavors, with a crispy exterior and a spicy kick that keeps you coming back for more. Paired with their perfectly seasoned French fries, it makes for a satisfying and delicious meal.

Overall, Commodore offers a great dining experience, combining excellent food with a charming ambiance. Whether you’re looking for a quick bite or a leisurely meal, this spot is definitely worth a visit.“

“A truly delightful dining experience with small plates that don’t disappoint. We particularly loved the tartare, with finely diced tomato and a well balanced ginger sesame dressing. It’s hard to believe that the words “great beet hummus” but trust me! Also the persimmon salad with yuzu yogurt - wow. We also really enjoyed the play on a bagel and cream cheese for dessert - very fun and a great punch of flavors with the homemade strawberry jam. Will def return!

Pro tip: the bathroom is a must visit.“

“We were hungry while in the area and also wanted to check out the market as well. While perusing, Jacob's Pickles caught our eye. We came on a busy weekend so it was hard to find seating. The food took a bit of time as well (likely given how busy the whole place was). Overall the food was good but maybe a bit overpriced? Still enjoyed the experience!“

“Stowaway has a unique pancake that hits the spot nicely. It’s served smothered in blueberries and has this caramelly butter on top as well - so delicious. The biscuits and gravy with shrimp put the meal over the top. Stowaway is a great brunch option if you like tasty southern cuisine ?“

“Honestly- this place is great! Almost everything I have eaten or drank here has been delicious. Recommend the hush puppies and green tomato martini, but everything is good. I don’t normally do reviews but I think this place really deserves it (as someone who grew up in the south)“

“First time in Harlem, the best food hands down.. we ate everything on our plates!Customerservice. Great and friendly would definitely recommend definitely visit again. Will definitely continue to share how great Sylvias in Harlem was We also bought her seasoning and hot sauce“

“Sweet Potatoes Restaurant in Winston-Salem, North Carolina: An award-winning spot in the Downtown Arts District, they serve unique, southern-inspired uptown, down-home cooking. Friends have made memories over baskets of fried green tomatoes and okra here.“

“The popcorn soft serve is actually so good. I thought at first it was going to taste like pure butter, they’re is actually a nice balance of butter, salt, and a flavor that can only be described as butterscotch I suppose. They also stack this ice cream super high, so for the price you really get your money’s worth. I also got the bag of biscuits. They were buttery and tasted really homemade. I honestly ate the whole bag in a day because they were so good. The butter they came with was also really good. I can’t wait to come back here so I can try more!“

“I just recently found out about this gem of a place. If you’re looking for very good southern style food you found the right place. I’ve had the fried chicken, the smothered pork chops, the yams, and the mac & cheese. I also tried all the available desserts. Delicious. The workers were courteous and helpful. Unfortunately, they are closed Sunday and Monday.“

“Buttermilk biscuits with honey butter are God’s greatest gift to the world. Seriously, they’re soooooooo good.

Vegetarian options: Heirloom tomato biscuit, pimento egg and cheese biscuit, and other biscuit sandwiches that can be easily made veggie.“

“I experienced Nettie’s for the first time last evening. My dining experience was excellent from arrival to departure. The food was “DELISH!” The owner was welcoming & hospitable, the service was good, and the music and atmosphere wea awesome! I am so pleased and proud to have a “Black” owned establishment where you can dine in Queens in a tasteful environment, supporting our entrepreneurs and our community. I, along with others will be back!!!“

“Thanksgiving meal was awful, just awful. Nothing was sliced. Ni gravy. The meat was chopped up. Dressing was worse than stove top. Sweet potato pie was awful. Stale.no taste. Who is the cook in this place.

Paid $150 food was horrible . Never again.“

“Excellent, friendly restaurant in the heart of NYC West Village. Thank you for a PERFECT graduation dinner experience for our family.“

“Super endroit !! Service très efficace et très sympa“

“The spicy chicken biscuit omg toooooo die for so my husband and I saw many people entering this spot plus it was our first time. We heard mac and cheese, greens, and fried chicken. So we got a bucket of mixed chicken, two sides of Mac and cheese, and some collard greens (they make them with black eyed peas and tomatoes; totally different from any kind of greens I ever had and I definitely was left craving more. Nice little spot and such friendly people. Heading back very soon“

“One of my absolute favorite meals this year. Service, vibe and food were all 10/10. Standouts for us were the spare ribs, wedge salad, seafood tower (the razor clams and smoked fish dip especially) and the prawns and grits. Great wine list as well. Highly recommend for a date night or fun friend/family dinner.“

“a really great place. love the food. the picture service is nice, but i wish they warned you what was going to happen. it seemed like it was just a promotion for the restaurant, so we let them take the pictures. later we felt guilted into buying a $20 picture, which has never happened to me at a restaurant before. i was also bothered because if we were going to buy the picture, i would want it to be with the food. i even asked the photographer this but she didn't take my suggestion. if i had known we would later be pushed to buy pictures, i would have at least insisted on the timing to get a picture i wanted.“

“The atmosphere was amazing , staff was polite an courtesy, The hot wings are AMAZING!!Perfect Date night atmosphere! Management was polite an on point with every customer! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️I’ll be back !“

“This place is a hidden gem. We were looking for place to make our go to spot. Once my foodie fiance tasted the catfish it was goto spot approved. The service is outstanding as they took very good care of us. The food is very tasty and nicely seasoned. We will be back.“

“Great place, mini diner, fantastic breakfast.
Atmosphere? Lol, Google doesn't understand how humans value space, it has the Atmosphere of a traditional lunch counter, which is fantastic for a lunch counter. Come here for food, it's great!“

“Me and my wife had an amazing afternoon at Javelina. It was Nat’l Margarita Day, so my wife made us reservations for us. Sitting with Kayla at the bar, and chatting with Micah while we ate and drank- they truly made us feel like family. I had carnitas tacos while my wife had the beef- both were delicious. Rice and Beans were correct- if you know what I mean. Washed that down with a prickly pear frozen margarita and some super fresh Modelo’s… Man, I bet my Saturday was better than yours… :)“

“Enter through the Red Rooster restaurant walk down the stairs that’s the location of the club . Great music 🎶, food 🥘 and cocktails 🍸. You will enjoy listening to great jazz and I believe it becomes a club on the late hours of the night. Around minding . Elegant decor“

“Had a wonderful experience. Food was delicious. So happy to know I have such a great place just 6 mins away from my house. Totally recommend Concettina!“

“The hospitality is always on point when I dine there. The food is delicious. A nice small intimate setting. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to others.“

“I get tacos weekly! I’m obsessed!! Best Mexican rice I have ever had. The salsa/hot sauce is amazing! Taco shells never fall apart even after being reheated. Meat is always juicy and tender!“

“This place is really good! The chicken is always cooked to perfection—juicy, flavorful, and just the right amount of spiced. The fries are crispy and delicious. On top of that, the staff is incredibly kind and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. Highly recommend stopping by!“

“Chicken is good! Seasoned & flavorful! Fries good too! Mac & Cheese needs to go back to the basics.“

“was at Time Square restaurant today ordered the sharing starter with husband felt some of the food looked like it had been under heater for a while as looked dry over cooked i ordered fish & chips and its worse 'batter' ive every tasted was more like a rubber sponge certainly wont be back only good thing was our server Dylan he was lovely very attentive“

“Stopped by today to order a chicken Caesar wrap. Megan (not sure if I spelled it right) was very funny and personable. She told me she would “make my wrap with love” and it tasted awesome. Will probably visit the other location when I want some mac and cheese but this location was good as well. Nice filling lunch before I went back to work.“

“Thursday 2/6/25 I ordered America the beautiful salad. It was a generous portion of Yum! Looked great, picked up and delivered home by my son, chicken still hot! It was the best chicken ranch dressing salad I have had in a long time.“

“This is one of our favorite places to PLAY MUSIC in the city, and we love it so much... we go there on our off nights, too, just to hang out. There's always a friendly scene and the food, drink, and atmosphere are unbeatable. Top 1 place in NYC.“
