“We just celebrated our anniversary here and we were absolutely blown away. The atmosphere was so cool and cozy. The service was excellent from start to finish… from the man that seated us to Maddie, our server who was very attentive and friendly! The food was phenomenal! So fresh and full of flavor! Very unique and nourishing. We started with whipped feta & pita. So flavorful! Then we had the lamb neck which was out of our comfort zone but I’m so glad we got it because it was amazing! Then we had the beef short ribs and a spicy potato dish. We finished off the night with the special crème brûlée infused with dates and Turkish coffee plus the olive oil cake. The drinks were very fresh and unique as well. I couldn’t recommend this place more. The chef and owner should be very proud!”

“This is my favorite place to go on a date night with my husband. Piper greets us with a smile at the door and its always a consistently wonderful experience from there. We are guaranteed a 10/10 night when Allie is working! She is my favorite (everyone is so great!). We have been there so many times and she can give the best food and drink recommendations for me. At this point I could let her just order for me and I know I am in good hands! Food favorites: hearth roasted oysters, focaccia, chilled soups, easy's salad, gramigna, and steak fries (extra tallow mayo!). I am always excited to mix in something special and new too! They are so creative. I appreciate the care they put into what they do. We love you guys!”

“went to Rodizio downtown for my birthday this year. My husband planned a surprise dinner for me he knew I was a reward member and I would eat free !! We were surprised when getting the bill. They couldn't split the bill up. They could take 5 payments but that wasn't much help. So we were left to try to figure it out amongst us. After all that confusion when we got home. We realized they didn't give us my free meal. So we tried calling numerous times to get answers. We were to told leave a message for the manager. So I did and still haven't received a return call. my bday is in April.... I won't be back, it's simple customer service”

“A brunch all day restaurant is the perfect addition to the southside. I walk here, but there is a nice free parking lot adjacent. The bagels are the real deal, the tots are delicious, great options for everyone. I have loved everything I’ve tried. So far, my favorites: the French toast, the avocado toast with egg, and I love their thin crust pizza. Drinks, coffee drinks, great service - all the things that make me happy!”

“We stumbled upon this place tonight in search of a good meal. We ordered and had it delivered and the food was absolutely wonderful. The pimento cheese patty melt was very tasteful and had such amazing flavors and I got the onion rings as my side and literally some of the absolute best we have ever had! My wife got the best buffalo chicken sandwich she had had in a while with fries and a side of Mac & cheese and the fries were great but that tavern Mac n cheese is special. The peanut butter pie and beignets… this place hit every course and there wasn’t a bad bite the whole meal! Can’t wait to dine in and try some more of their delicious food”

“I’ve only been into this establishment twice and although I was irritated because I was unable to place a call in order so that I could walk in and grab my order, pay and then walk out, I understood that the server was by herself both times.
She completely made up for it all because she was a very kind and professional lady and I was not only impressed with her work ethic but also equally impressed at the fact that although she was overwhelmed she pushed through it all and was a server and a cook that made things happen for the customers.
This woman deserves not only a raise but also some sort of recognition from the company because it isn’t her fault that nobody wants to come to work.
Keep up the good work whatever your name is. I will be back just to see her in action again because she completely knocked it out of the ball park both times that I’ve been into this establishment.”

Got our order out fast, got it correct, got us any condiments we asked for and held a small conversation with us while we waited for our food. She did all of this with a bright smile. I havent forgotten her name or her service 4 days later, she really needs a raise! Best customer service ive ever had at a Hardee's or otherwise”

“Stood at the counter for 18 minutes. I was the only one inside. Two people running the window with 2 cars in line that had already ordered. I had decided to give them 20 minutes then I was going to leave. 18 minutes in someone walking by finally noticed me and came to take my order. She was not pleasant at all and acted like I was a bother. She never smiled or greeted me. All she said was what you want. I gave her my order. The order took no time at all to get ( like less than a minute). She handed me my order never said a word, turned and went to the back. I don't know if she was having a bad day or if that is her personality, but if you are going to be working with the public you have to put things away and be polite to your customers. I know because I work with the public.
Thank you for listening. Just to be clear I like Krystal but I definitely want be visiting this one again.”

Gluten-Free • $$
“Stopped here on road trip specifically because of the reputation for being a celiac safe restaurant. I was not disappointed. The first thing I was asked when I walked it was “do you have a food allergy”. The first thing I was asked by the gal who took my order is “do you have a food allergy”. They went over what’s safe (almost everything). I felt super comfortable. The meal was great, and very reasonably priced too. After we at the guy who I believe was the stores manager talked with us for a while about what they do and how serious they take it, we talked about our trip, and just generally had a nice conversation.
I can’t oversell how great this was. Easily the best dining experience I’ve ever had with celiac. Thank y’all so much. I hope I can come back.”

“This spot is an absolute gem of an establishment with the best bread I have ever had in my 39 years of life (Yes, my parents gave me bread as an infant). The only negative thing I can say is that you do have to be on point to navigate the scheduling on the english muffins, sourdough (only 20 produced a day) and some pretty good pizza they've got some nights of the week. Be on time or that baked gold is snatched up quick! At some point this operation will need to expand and the world will rejoice when that day comes. Until then can we get a few more english muffins please?”

“(I love that you call me a "local guide"! I was just a hungry dude looking for a new place to try! Anyway...)
Yesterday was my first visit to Champy's. The parking lot was almost full, but the interior did not feel at all crowded. Everyone was upbeat and helpful, and the moment I walked in I was struck with the fun vibe of the place. Our server, Trula, was charming, funny, and took very good care of us. She checked in with us at just the right intervals to keep our drinks full and needs met, and other servers around us appeared to do the same.
Of course we had to try the fried chicken, which was tender and amazing. The cole slaw was delicious, and the baked beans had a variety of beans in it which set it apart from the rest. We will definitely be back to explore more of the menu! Highly recommended!
(One month later)
I'm sorry to report that I took away a star. But we'll get to that in a minute.
The fried chicken, which we both had, continues to be amazing. Piping hot, juicy, tender, and perfectly cooked. The real standout this time was the hot-wings appetizer. On the recommendation of our charming server, Ashtynn, I tried the smoked wings with the "sweet heat" sauce. I'm a big believer in trying new things, but, my gosh, I'll be coming back to these probably every time! They were that good! Ashtynn was training a new server, Emma, and both were friendly, upbeat, and took very good care of us. Their cheerfulness felt natural, not forced, and made our exchanges very pleasant. They clearly enjoy their jobs, and made the meal that much better!
But now the bad news: for dessert we ordered the "Homemade Key Lime pie". I should've taken a picture of this, but what arrived was a very plain piece of pie in a clear plastic tub with a flip-top, like one would find in a supermarket, and a plastic spoon. Not even a plate with a metal fork? I'm not sure what they were going for here. I admit I have pretty high Key Lime pie standards, and this fell well short. There was no key lime slice, no whipped cream garnish, nor embellishments of any kind to set this "homemade" pie apart. It was a very mediocre ending to an otherwise delicious meal and fun experience. I get it: not many folks have room for dessert. But serve a spectacular dessert, and folks will leave room! I know I would! So sorry, but this cost you a star. Let's see what happens next time...”

“Good night, y'all! The food here is GOOD! We had the Crab Cakes and the French Creole Pasta. The seasoning and sauce is where it's at. The crab cakes on top of the dirty rice with collards was so flavorful and delicious. And the seafood to penne to sauce on the pasta dish was spot on. I spooned up as much sauce as I could once the rest was gone. The chef brought out our dinner and then later the bread pudding. I've been curious about N'Awlins bread pudding, and this was a great introduction! The dish was 4 fried dough balls dusted with powdered suger served in a little iron skillet. The flavor that night was blueberry--so yummy! Thanks, y'all!”

“Had a fantastic meal and wonderful service. The only negative would be the hostess. Not the most attentive when we checked in and then she took us to our table. We were given option of a two seater right between the only two occupied tables in the dining room or a two seater against the wall near the restrooms. Given it was early I thought maybe the 4 seaters were all booked but at end of night they were still fairly empty when we left.”

Kim is the best CHEF IN THE ENTIRE WORLD, and Miko along with Joko give the best dining service!!! The bartenders are also fantastic for those 21+! We come here multiple times a week and always will. Definitely worth the wait and the drive. From top of the line food to the bestest friends, this is best place to eat!!!!”

“This has become our go to for date night. It is getting harder to try different things when each time we have gone we have had the "favorite" dish. I am shellfish lover and husband meat and potatoes. The variety of meats and seafood as well as the various ways they prepare them are stellar. The quality and presentation is unmatched. Bridgeman's, St. John's, Hennen's move over there is a new leader of the pack!”

“The food was amazing. Everyone in my party thoroughly enjoyed every meal we ordered! With only a few exceptions. 1. The sign out front advertised a $108 Mother’s Day special but when my parents went to order it they were told that it wasn’t available tonight. It was a typo on the board. 2. My sister, who is on a keto diet, ordered the 88 salad only to be told that they were out of salad. 3. After our dinner, my brother-in-law ordered a piece of key lime pie for my mom but once again we were told that they were out of key lime! So as great as the food is, and it was delicious, management really needs to get a better grip on what is in stock and what needs to be ordered especially on a holiday weekend!! Thank you for a great meal!!”

Not only did we enjoy exceptionally good jazz by this young group, the food was delectable and served in generous portions. As older women we felt very comfortable in the family atmosphere with its tasteful interior decoration and competent wait staff. Will certainly go there again”

Korean Barbecue • $$
“the dinner is amazing but the one complaint I have is that even if it's obvious that everyone dining is one family(household) they still force gratuity for parties of 5 or more, but don't increase the amount of meat brought each round. a 20% forced tip for 3 rounds of meat for very clearly 2 parents and their children is a bit unfair. I would have tipped regardless but being forced 20% when our waiter wasn't even really available most of the time isn't right”

“OMG!! This place is a MUST go to eat in Chattanooga TN. Just so you don’t get lost the address is 3230 Wilcox Blvd. I had Lobster,Shrimp,Salmon,Corn,Potatoes,Broccoli and Mac& Cheese With Strawberry Pineapple and Blueberry Lemonade the First day ? and it was so good that I ate here everyday out the 4days here.???????????”

“Loads of fun. Moderate pricing and well-managed. Had to reset the frames a few times, which was no big deal, but it did slow us down so that our last bowler needed more time for his last frame. I asked Patrick, the manager, for 60 more seconds. While it’s not their protocol, he was accommodating. We were able to finish the game, and we appreciated the service. Five stars for management.”

The items you'll find on 3rd party apps may not be available in the Whole Foods location.When you search for Genji sushi on you can see on the wiki page that they distribute their product to Whole Foods Market.”
French • $$$
“I had never heard of this French restaurant before a friend invited me to join her. It is cash or check only and BYOB wine, so come prepared.
The restaurant is located at the end of a dead end road in a residential area, so you may feel out of place when you pull into the gravel drive. The restaurant name is marked on a sign, so you are sure you are in the right place.
The service starts the minute you step outside your car. I was met at the door by the owner taking me to my table. Our server was wonderful. He told us that the restaurant had been in business 40 years, and that there used to be horse training and a vineyard on site.
The 7 courses were all amazing! We started with tomato bisque soup, followed by shrimp scampi as the appetizer. They have 3 entree options daily. The previous table ordered all of the filets and my friends took the last of the duck, so I got the remaining salmon (I definitely wasn't disappointed though!). Vinegarette salad and a cheese plate were served together with fresh bread. The chocolate dessert with berry confit was delicious served with coffee.
It was very interesting talking to the owner about her life after dinner.
I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone!”

“I wanted to post a review because I see a lot of bad reviews about this place. I have ordered here several times through DoorDash, and the food has always been great. I have never been to the actual location, so I couldn’t put a 5 star review for that. The food is always warm/hot when I get it, and the wings have always had plenty of sauce fully covering them. We love the boneless Asian zing and boneless Nashville hot and bone in Buffalo. Their ranch is great too!”

“To be honest, I was dreading going to the store because I thought I would have to wait a long time standing in line. That wasn't the case at all. There was a line through the store. However, the staff did an excellent job of quickly moving everyone through. Phenomenal and friendly service!”

“Recently visited for the 1st time, upon entry staff was not very friendly. We were seated all the way in the back of the building.Thought that was odd with all the open tables available. Our waiter Eduardo saved the day for sure he was very helpful and attentive the entire time. The food selection was amazing , overwhelming to some but to me amazing having so many choices .The complementary chip and salsa was not the best but good the chips were almost too hard.the drinks now this is what will keep you coming back
The entrees were good but not brought out at the same time . I ordered the shrimp tacos , the shrimp was not the best.too much coating or breading on them but not a total flop. They were ok.
If you are looking for a place that serves excellent cocktails give this place a try .”

“Came in for the Walkabout Wednesday special. Was absolutely GREAT last week. This week - not so much :(. Steak was not nearly as good and I was served a left over re-warmed baked potato. HATE re-warmed potatoes!! NOT impressed with my meal at all today. Only thing up to their usual standards was the bread and butter.”

“I stopped here in May with a friend when traveling through Chattanooga. we were not familiar with Honduran food and we’re hesitant even after entering the restaurant and reviewing the menu. we bought a meal to split and were incredibly surprised at the beautiful flavors we experienced. Every thing we were served was so delicious! I don’t know how they make something as simple as rice taste so amazing but - wow. The place was very clean the staff friendly and the food out of this world. if this restaurant was in our town it would absolutely be our favorite. Do yourself a favor and eat here if you can. Hurry! :)”

“My wife and I got an order here when we stayed at the adjoining motel this past week. I got an Italian omelet with home fries, which was perfect in flavor (my wife tasted the omelet and agreed), and was large enough for a second meal. She absolutely loves the biscuits. Also, the service was fantastic. First time we ate there, but not the last. It's worth driving from Indianapolis to enjoy. Note - if you stay at the adjoining Best Western Heritage Inn, you get a 10% discount. Thank you for your service.”

“A brunch all day restaurant is the perfect addition to the southside. I walk here, but there is a nice free parking lot adjacent. The bagels are the real deal, the tots are delicious, great options for everyone. I have loved everything I’ve tried. So far, my favorites: the French toast, the avocado toast with egg, and I love their thin crust pizza. Drinks, coffee drinks, great service - all the things that make me happy!”
