“We went through the drive through and they explained every item on the menu to us since it was our first time. Then we sat in the little play area and ate. The cheese sticks, gizzards were fantastic but OMG!!!! The funnel cake I had ( Kevin Bacon) was to die for. I can’t wait to go again. I highly recommend this place ♥️

Kid-friendliness: My grandkids lost their minds with how big their treats were. Plus they got to play while they waited and played during and played after. I actually got to enjoy my treats because they were entertained. Very fun place!“

“One of my favorite restaurants in McAllen“

“Friendliness and respect is not common among most diners, yet here at Dennys San Juan, Texas of The Rio Grande Valley Of Southern Texas it’s very much included! What’s the best way to start,A meal? I would say is to be included and made felt like family! That’s what you Shure would find- here at Denny’s, along with a hot, ready,made meal just the way you order!“

“Great food and service!! Hamburgers, fries, and onion rings are so delicious. Highly recommend this place!!“

“Get lucky ducky !!!! Excellent drink highly recommended“

“Where are the music videos? I love this place but I don’t like to watch only sports. Bring the Music Videos back 😊“

“Walked in right at closing (3pm) we started to leave because I hadn't realized when a server came out and said to come in, that it was 5 til 3pm and they would love to have us :) I've always loved their breakfast (if u visit must have their breakfast potatoes!) But today we had a light lunch; a tuna melt and a reuben with fries. Both are very generous portions. I was surprised to find they serve their tuna melt with a side of housemade, honey mustard. I tried the combo and loved it! For dessert, we had the apple crumble pie super delish! Don't sleep on their muffins soooo good! Service is always top notch, cant beat it!“

“Idk what happened yesterday, but the food was not as good. The bread from a burger was cold, the potato soups were cold, the soda tasted like bad. It wasn’t like that before. They did replace the soups but we were not hungry for it anymore“

“great selection of food. great and friendly service good price“

“stopped in for lunch after arriving in town. Delinah was exceptional. She had a smile and attention to detail for menu items was pleasurable. It is nice to see someone excited to be working and enjoy the surroundings.“

“Very nice place for some dinning with family.“

“Está muy bien, lo único que piden mejorará es el personal está del caos no todos pero si varios y también que tengan doctor peper“

“I’ve been coming to Siempre Natural for the past two years, about once a week, and during that time the service has consistently been excellent. Micaela, in particular, has always been incredibly pleasant and helpful with our orders. Her personal attention and warm demeanor have truly made each visit enjoyable. That kind of customer service is rare and has always set Siempre Natural apart.

However, I’m writing this review with mixed feelings. In the past, our order was called out by name, which added a warm, personal touch. Recently, we've noticed that orders are now called by a number. That personal, attentive touch that Siempre Natural was known for seems to be fading, and I hope that’s not the direction it’s headed.

The food is still great—no complaints there—and I appreciate the opportunity to share this feedback. I’m only pointing this out because I’ve genuinely enjoyed my experience over the years and would love to see that special attention to the customer return.

Thank you for reading.“

“Muy bueno y lugar agradable“

“But not the drive-thru... it's always been a good restaurant, but the morning drive-thru is disappointing. It took 32 minutes for a sandwich, I had to move to the parking lot and go in and get it. (The sandwich and coffee were good, but cost $13.10.)“

“I recommend La Eloteca when you’re craving that “elote en vaso” fix. I like that you have several topping options to enjoy that treat. However, folks.. Please have your food prep staff/workers change gloves after handling money or touching the checkout screen. The same checkout screen your customers touch. I was so turned off that I had to remind the female worker to change her gloves after she handled cash, the screen, then touched the opening of the bottle where the crema and mayo come out of. That’s cross contamination. She needs to retake that food handlers course again.“

“I had a good experience at Denny’s restaurant on University Drive In Edinburg this morning. Samantha, our server, constantly checked on us. She always made sure to be cheerful and attentive. Cassie, a server not assigned to us, had an ever-present smile. Her smile radiated so brightly that it lit up the mood of my friend and me. These two young ladies made our visit to this place extremely pleasant. I recommend sitting at the bar. The bar is where the staff assembles to retrieve their orders. It is where you will always see smiling faces. Here is where they have more of an opportunity to face you and gift you with a kind comment or beam another bright smile in your direction.“

“Great steak house with lively atmosphere. Lots of people. Piano playing and tgd best steaks. I had th filet wellington, cooked to perfection. Calamari excellent. Fried steak tips with guacamole not so good. Cesar salad not so good. Service very good.“

“good tasting food. excellent service. Abel was great. thanks 😊“

“El Divino is one of our very favorite places to eat. The food and drinks are consistently excellent (since 2013!) and the restaurant is beautiful with a separate room for private functions. The fillet and Brussels sprouts are the best in McAllen and the burger is very good - it’s the dish visiting friends remember when we take them there. Make sure to ask for Jess, our favorite server, for a great dining experience. She always remembers our drink order, makes us feel so welcome, and is a huge part of why we keep coming back.“

“comida rica y productos de calidad en su tienda“

“Came to eat their turkey dinner before Thanksgiving day. It was superb!! All the trimmings were delicious. Hillary and Leslie were wonderful, catering to all our needs. I would highly recommend this place. The atmosphere is so relaxing. Souvenirs are cute.“

“Had a good time. Our server was great“

“Absolutely loved it, can’t wait for the next time I go back“

“Muy rico, tranquilo, la atención excelente por parte de nuestra mesera Lety.“

“Best coffee in the area. Large space, good for working on your computer. Our favorite for coffee and tea. Hope they add some sugar free or low sugar snack items for the high number of local diabetics.“

“Ok. So we went to Red Lobster to try their new seafood boil bag. We've been loyal Mr Crabbys seafood boil bag customers for 5 years. Finding really great seafood outside of NH is hard. So hard..... Until now. The RL boil bag is far superior. Here's why: 1. The seasoning is just right. Choice of garlic & butter or Cajun. Got the Cajun- because that's the only seasoning in a proper boil bag that's acceptable. 1a. The seasoning is far better as it's not drowning in oil- causing constant crab splatters. 1b. The seasoning does not overpower the taste of the seafood like Mr Crabbys does. You can actually taste the lobster- shrimp and crab. 2. The bag comes with 6 more shrimp (12 total) than Mr Crabbys 6. The lobster tail is split fully in half rather than just slashed down the top spine- making it difficult at Mr Crabbys to pull the meat out in one swipe. (That's what she said) 3. The bag does NOT come with sausage if you order the Mariners Bag. However it can be added. Here's the closer- it's REAL Andouille sausage- not kielbasa. Me Crabbys has been using kielbasa the last few times we went. If you know the difference in flavor- you'll understand why this matters. 4. I wore my bib cuz I'm accustomed to having the food drip all over me as I crack and work for my reward. It was not needed. Even with dumping the bag into the tray- it was not over saturated in oil- but rather delicately seasoned with butter. Over all- we have a new Sunday Boil Bag date location. I never thought I'd stray from Mr Crabbys- but shockingly- Red Lobster has become the affair worth having. They did good with hiring this new CEO who brought this brain child to my beloved Maine lobster Locale here in the Deep South. If yall see this- please- from this coastal New England girl trying to get a nut in the RGV.....don't ever drop this from the menu. Sincerely Your newest fan.“

“Just moved to the area and as I was driving around, I ran into this neat little café. Right away, it caught my attention, so I decided to come in and see what they had to offer. Upon arrival, we were greeted warmly. It feels so cozy and reminds me of going to my grandmother's house on Sundays. Being here, we decided to try out their panchos, and I must say, wow, just so tasty! I highly recommend this little café and everything they have to offer.“

“But not the drive-thru... it's always been a good restaurant, but the morning drive-thru is disappointing. It took 32 minutes for a sandwich, I had to move to the parking lot and go in and get it. (The sandwich and coffee were good, but cost $13.10.)“

“I love this place. The workers are kind and helpful to new customers. The food is pretty spot on every time I come. It is a little pricey, but good food usually is. I like the chicken and grape sandwich on a croissant. The poblano corn soup (kinda spicy) and zucchini soup are also pretty good. I have pretty bad social anxiety but always feel very welcomed here.“

“I've never met them, but through some business dealings I learned that the owner of this place is, I think, a 2nd generation restaurant owner and from everything I've seen and heard, they are really good people. The food is great quality and the prices are totally decent. This place is definitely worth a try.“

“I will definitely visit again. The service, food and cocktails were all outstanding.“

“Go there all the time. Desserei always takes care of me. Never fails to be attentative to me and my friends. Always there when we’re ready to order another round. Pool is always a blast there and the music is always on beat to get the crowd going.“

“The service was excellent, Tony was great. The atmosphere was top notch. The food was outstanding. It was our anniversary and they treated us with a card, sprinkled hearts on the table and a complimentary piece of red velvet cheesecake. We will be returning.“

“Food was ok. Beans were bland but was better when added the salsa they give you. Got the omelette but eggs were over cooked. They should never have brown on them. The Shipwreck was better.( eggs, bell peppers, bacon, onion and cheese all scrambled together). The best thing about the place was the cinnamon roll! It's huge and tastes great. Daughter loved it.“

“This is our third time here. The wait to be seated was 15 min, which was fine. The waiter and I couldn't hear each other. There were so many tvs going with different programs. One is enough? The service was great, and the food came out in a timely manner even though it was a busy Friday night.
We ordered:
1. Queso dip - good, but order with no tortillas and more chips.
2. Burger - good as expected
3. Cobb salad with shrimp- good, but the shrimp were overcooked.
4. Lava cake - the best“

“I tried the Dog Stadium and it did not disappoint! I had the Rollie Dog, which comes loaded with Hot Cheetos, cheese, and bacon it was absolutely delicious and super flavorful. I also got the dirt fries, and they taste like they’re fresh cut daily right at the restaurant. Everything was hot, fresh, and full of flavor. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for something tasty and unique!“

“Shout out to Emmanuel and the crew from Siempre Natural on University and McColl!! They remembered who I was, and took care of my order! Kindness, speed , excellent service, and excellent food! Highly recommend! I ordered the chicken, grape and pecan salad on a croissant with jalapeños ands fideo on the side, 10 out of 10 a must try!“

“We cannot recommend enough! Chantelle & Ethan at the bar were so welcoming and made the absolute best recommendations for both food & drinks. The homemade pasta is something you dream of.“

“I ordered combo #1, a sandwich, soup, and a drink very delicious for the sandwich I got the chicken with grapes very delicious with a side of Chipotle sauce nice combination for the soup I got fideo and for the drink I got a agua fresca melon flavor my family loves this place“

“I had the six once Ribeye, mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli. The Ribeye was super tough, potatoes were almost cold and broccoli was okay. This place was not busy but it took thirty minutes to receive our order. We let the waiter know our dissatisfaction. So the manager to replace steak with another item. I said no. She gave us a dessert instead. I was very disappointed.“

“Hesitated to go because of the reviews. But this place is GOOD. The waitress with the red hair was kool and polite. Good portions of food and all. Was told this was an old place and have to visit when in the valley. Will come back next visit.“

“Me encanta y es muy saludable y aparte las chicas son muy amables. Todo en excelencia.“

“Felicidades Rodolfo y a tu esposa , es para el publico o solo socios del club“
