My fish sandwich was messy, but so good! My wife has the gyro and it was awesome as well. The fries were great too. We weren't sure what to expect here, but we were very pleased and will be back for sure!“

Also, ordered the mariscos molcajete, omg!! The octopus and sauce on top was just so tasty. Service was a little slow, as place was packed for Motger Day’s celebration. They had live Mexican music, love it!! they even sang a birthday song for my sister. The waiter, Erica, brought a birthday cinnamon complementary cake as a gift for my sister, she was very attentive. And yes, servers spoke English and Spanish. I recommend this place for any celebration . Love it!!“

“My waitress was Corey a slim light skinned guy with dreads. He was rude the whole night. We first entered the restaurant there was hardly nobody there he told us it will be a 15min wait. So we sat down and waited in about 10mins 3 people passed us and went and sat down so I got up and told him then he rudely seated us. As we ordered he was looking at the game on the television and gave us no eye contact. I asked for 2 unsweet teas 1 with no ice I got two sweet teas, I told him that it was sweet an I wanted unsweetened but my husband said that he would keep his sweet tea. So the waitress picked it up and brought me a sweet tea again this time with ice when I asked for no ice. So the second time I decided to just let it sit there because he seemed upset. I placed my order and asked for an extra side of potatoes, he said they come in 3 so I said ok I want it. Then my husband asked do potatoes come with his order and the waiter said “yes do you want to add extra” my husband said “naw I’m good” when the order came I had only 3 potatoes which is what comes with the order, my husband had four potatoes that’s three that come with the order and one extra. I looked at the receipt and saw that he charged both of us for an extra order of potatoes. I told him that I don’t have an extra order in mine, and that my husband didn’t order an extra side but if he did, he should have gotten three potatoes, not one extra . He said “yes he did ask for extra” we both said no he didn’t. and he ran to the back talking loud i can hear him say “bro I swear they ordered extra potatoes. We don’t say anything else. We know what we ordered he was too busy watching the TV while we were ordering . He brought the ticket to the table and told us we can pay up front. He didn’t say thank you, have a good night or nothing he never looked back our way. he never even apologized for bringing me sweet tea both times with ice. We left him a $10 tip although he didn’t deserve a dime but he could have gotten more. I’m just not the type to leave nothing. His attitude was so nasty I will not go there again!“

“Cajun seasoning is the BEST! Exceptional service and such a great atmosphere! I highly recommend!“

“We visited Backstreets for the first time today. We loved the food and experience. Our waitress Riley was awesome! I had the baby back ribs with broccoli and a side salad. I'm bougie about my ribs. The ribs were so tender! The broccoli was perfectly steamed with a little char that added to the seasoning. I also had a peach martini. It was perfect! The kids had nachos, chicken tenders, and a baked potato. They enjoyed everything, which says a lot because my daughter doesn't eat beef but she tried the nachos with ground beef. Lastly, we had the brownie a la mode. To my chocolate lovers, you must try!! It was so good...and it was more than enough to share. It was a great first experience!“

Such a lovely lady! Can’t wait to share our bottle of cocktail sauce with the bestie on our next oyster night at home. Much love to you all! 🫶 We will be back soon!“

“This place was absolutely delicious!!!!!!!!

Drinks: We ordered the Lemon Drop Martini (Good) and a Long Island Iced Tea (Good besides too much soda).

Food: For appetizers, we ordered the fried green tomatoes (bland and had no flavor), crab cakes (AMAZING!), and the firecracker shrimp (the shrimp had no flavor but the peppers that were on the top were delicious). For our entrees, we ordered the shrimp and grits (The GRITS were EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!) and the Firecracker Flounder (The serving size is ridiculous , in a good way, the flounder was good though.

Service: Kevin was our waiter and he was very good from the beginning! He was nice, knowledgeable about the menu, funny, personable, and efficient.

Atmosphere: It was very laid-back, cool, and calm. It had enough motion and noise but not too much. The lighting was perfect. It was very spacious.“

“There food truck was at Bruzze Brewery on Lake Oconee. We were there when they opened at 4pm. The service was great and the food was outstanding. My wife got the lobster roll. I got the tacos. My wife is from New England. We also got some of their clam chowder and she says it was the best she had ever had. It only took us about five minutes to get our order after we placed it in the staff was so pleasant to communicate with.“

“I love this place. The people are friendly and it's very clean. You don't smell the raw fish and it doesn't smell greasy from the fried fish. I live 20 minutes away and I don't mind pre-ordering and picking it up. It's always ready when I walk in the door. I rate them exceptional and I have sent many friends there for delicious fried fish and seafood dinners.“

“Last night for the first time in my adult life, I sat alone at the restaurant bar at The Bistro. It was cold, wet and rainy outside and I almost stayed home. I ordered Brussels sprouts for dinner and unsweetened tea. I shopped online while I listened to the amazing artist singing live music. From Stapleton to Prince. He even threw in a little Justin Beiber Christmas music. After the show the singer sat with his mama and had dinner. Those last 45 minutes of the night are so precious to me. I am so glad I did not stay home. Thank you to Katie at The Bistro in Irmo. She was a lovely hostess! Thanks to Trey Duncan Sings for a wonderful show and the time I got to spend with him after. I am infinitely humbled to be the mother of four precious children. “Family isn’t an important thing. Family is everything.”-Michael J Fox Thank you Lord, for your blessings on me !“

“Schaumburg spot it’s 6 ⭐️ out of 5 - pure perfection - thank you so much guys. Keep going“

“I went in to place a order. The manager Dia tried to over charge me for my order. I get the same dinner each time I go. I Knew what the price of the dinner would cost me. I tried to explain to her that I have order the same dinner many of times. Then she proceeded to say to ME YOU EXPECT ME TO CHANGE THE MENU FOR YOU. I could not believe this woman came at me like that. I folded the menu and proceeded to leave . She said get the hell out of here with anger and attitude. I'm 62 yes old. I could not believe this woman treated me this way. And get this she had the nerve to use the N word. I will be reporting my experience to the nessary authorities and news outlets.“

“Birthday celebration for my wife at MGrille could not have been better!

We held a celebration for my wife’s 75th birthday at MGrille, with about 30 friends. Michelle Wang was wonderful for us to work with in designing the menu and arranging the venue. The food was everything we could have hoped for, Michelle made special accommodations for vegetarians and everything was delicious. The food was kept warm in chafing dishes during the first hour of the party, while we mingled and chatted. When the group was ready to eat, the tops of the chafing dished were removed and folks filled their plates … the food was delicious and perfect for serving. Everyone commented about how great the food was, the two cocktails we picked out for the party were enthusiastically enjoyed and there were also three choices for nonalcoholic drinks. We also greatly appreciate Michelle’s wonderful staff for the party - Leo, Kyle, Payton and Frank, thanks again! The venue was comfortable and generously sized. The baby grand piano was great for the occasion (and thank you to Bert Ligon, a delightful pianist). We are so thankful to Michelle for making this important milestone celebration so perfect, easy for us and special! 👏🥂“

“servicio y frescura en los productos,“

“Delicious so much food always have some to take home“

“The Supervisor met me at the door with a welcoming greeting! I ordered my usual birthday one pound of crab legs that are still DELICIOUS after ten years! Great to see the same cashier for ten years. I met her at Nick's on Two Notch. Keep up the consistent Great food and service!“

“The food is good & plentiful. We definitely got our money’s worth. The large order of rice was filled to the brim. Enough for 6 servings for me. The hibachi combo also came with a lot of rice. I didn’t know it came with vegetables and they put them at the base of the chicken so it looks more full with chicken than it really is but is still a really good amount for the price. The fried crab sticks are not exactly how I’m used to from NJ or PA, but still good. The quality of the food was good as well. We would return.“

“I attended The Lacs concert, fabulous show!! The staff were on point and did an excellent job! Especially when my mom fell out from the heat. They did a great job keeping her calm, and getting her help!! Thank you to everyone that helped with the situation!! I appreciate the kindness!!!“

“I recently visited the Cayce location on 4 / 15 / 26. We ordered 2 fish platters for around 31 dollars .. The food was not good ! I haven't been there in years and was very disappointed. They use to have good food. What happened to this location ?“
