“Can you please add gravy or no gravy to the chicken and dressing on your menu? I don't like gravy on mine. Also please add more cranberry sauce to the chicken and dressing. The amt. is so scant. Also we need to have a choice of pie when we order. You send whatever you have the most of it seems. And I've ordered tea and haven't got recently. I order fairly frequently from dumplins. I use delivery. The food is good. And the portion sizes are enough for 2 meals for me. Thank you.“

“Jackson TN was the half way point to where we were going. We wanted to stay away from commercial restaurants and saw this place had great reviews. We got chicken strips and pork chops. The chicken strips were very good. Not over cooked at all. The onion rings were also cooked perfectly. The pork chop was so very good. The seasoning was great, it was tender and not dry. Highly recommend.“

“New to town and wanted something fresh for lunch and found this place scrolling around on Google maps. My group tried 3 of their sandwiches and everyone really enjoyed them. Box lunch is a deal that comes with your sandwhich, choice of a side (we did potato and mac salad, potato was the fave), a drink, and a large homemade cookie. Cookies were amazing! Price was 11.50 per box lunch at the time of this review, very reasonable for the quantity and quality of food you get. Also, the ladies behind the counter were nice as can be, new lunch spot for sure!“

There were so many choices for Appetizers we order a bunch of them. By the time we got our Entrée's we were quite full. Brylie, our server was most accommodating and made sure our orders were made to our specifications. She kept coming back to make sure all was fine and kept refilling our glasses. The owner Aaron also came by a few times to make sure we were totally happy with our meals. If you look at the pictures below I'm sure you'll see the portions are Plentiful and L@@k Delicious. I will definitely be returning again and again. Thank you for a Pleasant Experience.“

“Called several times and got hung up on. Finally got ahold of someone, they put me back on hild and said they were slammed and working alone which i can sympathize with, but shouldn't have had such an attitude because i wanted to place an order. We were wondering why the price was so high after the call....they upchanged for both of my sides with shrimp and didn't mention that there would be an upcharge. Walked in to get food and was just standing there while 2 people looked at me. Had to ask the gentleman could someone help me he said I would have to wait on someone else to check out. Waited several minutes only for him to check me out anyways. Rung me up, I paid n he just walked away. Didn't get bread or silverware. We eat here alot and this time was very disappointing. Don't know if we'll be back for a while. That's pricey meals for bad service.

Our waitress finally appeared and we explained to her that another lady had taken our drink orders but she never delivered them.

Evidently the original waitress was slammed with customers but when she was able she did check with us frequently asking us if there was anything else we needed. We will return in the future.“

“I traveled a lot in the last 5 years and have eaten at 32 different locations. I have only ever had 1 bad meal and the MP Managing partner was on site and comped my entire meal and invited me back on her. When we arrived we were greeted promptly and everyone was smiling. The music was Christmas and the volume was perfect. Every where I looked was clean and well kept. Today Pam and I and a good friend Jeff who also spent many years in the food industry came in for a Sunday lunch. We began with a House margarita with a Patron kicker while Pam had a glass of Dark Horse Cabernet, and Jeff had water (light weight). We then had a Cactus Blossom which was perfectly cooked not grease at all but crisp and fresh. Pam had a Filet Mid Rare it was cooked perfectly With a house salad with Romaine instead of Iceberg and it was very cold and fresh my gal was very happy. Jeff had the Ribeye and Ribs which he devoured and never said much as he was busy stuffing his face. lol I had a 16oz Mid Rare Prime Rib with a house salad and loaded baker. The Salad was verry cold and crisp and the house made dressing was great. My potato was hot and fluffy. Now My Prime Rib was freaking great. for starters I think it was about 20oz instead of 16oz it was a perfect Mid Rare. Our Server was a gentleman named "Q". One of the best server I have come across in a long while. He had a great personality and very fun, and he had great menu knowledge, and was well versed in the wine list which I find very rare. The Manager Eileen came by the table and asked how we were doing. We had a great chat and we praised her staff and food and she put the focus back on her Staff, a true professional.“

“This is hands down my favorite Buffalo Wild Wings location I've ever been to. The food is always great and exactly what you'd expect from B-Dubs, but what really sets this place apart is the atmosphere and service. There are TVs everywhere, making it the perfect spot to catch any game, and the staff is always willing to help get whatever game you're looking for on a screen.

The service here is absolutely outstanding, especially from Alivia, the bartender. She is easily one of the best bartenders I've ever had the pleasure of being served by. Not only is she friendly and personable, but she's incredibly attentive and always seems to know exactly what her customers need before they even have to ask. My drink is never empty for long, and she consistently makes everyone at the bar feel welcomed and taken care of.

What impresses me most is how well she handles the pressure when the restaurant gets busy. This place can get packed, especially during big games, and Alivia somehow manages to keep up with everyone without sacrificing the quality of her service. She stays positive, efficient, and attentive, even when she's juggling multiple orders and a crowded bar. It's clear that she genuinely cares about providing a great experience for every customer.“
