Not to mention clean restrooms which is rare in the bar scene. Love the improvements they have made as well. Highly recommend this bar. Has a great atmosphere. Isaac the manager was even nice enough to introduce himself and ask about our experience.“

“Took a drive yesterday in the sunshine looking for something to eat. Nothing looked appealing to me and as soon as I was ready to just go home and have a sandwich I spot Tower 🍔! I had no idea there is a Tower in Alamo! I love the burgers but decided to try the angus hotdog. Oh my goodness it was FAB! My tastebuds thought it was their birthday! Thank you Tower Burger!“

“wife's first time there...she loved it! we've hit snows bbq..luling bbq...burnt bean bbq..Longorias bbq...killers bbq...but willies has the taste of the rgv....will be coming here again.....Roy has it running well....“

“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“

“I enjoyed it. Not you prepackaged fare the food is good. Presentation is quirky; just jump in it tastes great. I had a turkey special with homemade bread, mashed potatao, green been casserole (where else are you going to get that?) And stuffing. I loved the stuffing. And for context-I do not eat stuffing. Mud pie was good too.
Oh! Get coffee. You like bold coffee?
Get the coffee.

Also the food is really good for the price. Buy a couple pies and some bread. Get a to go dish. Leave a tip. Its that good.“

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

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

“Kayla D. and Andrea were great! Very helpful when it came to mixed drinks. Definitely coming back 😊“

“Jesse Gonzalez the manager was very attentive, kept refilling our drinks and asking if we needed anything.“

“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!“

“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“

“Sidebar is our go to restaurant for fine dining. Amazing food, the best drinks, delicious food, and wonderful waitstaff. Our favorite anniversary spot.“

“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.“

“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“

“The food was awesome and really delicious and the service was great and the staff was friendly and really enjoyed it This is a great Restaurant“

“Very nice place for some dinning with family.“

“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.“

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

“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.)“

“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.“

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

“My family and I went to Siempre Natural on Jackson. It was our first time going. The restaurant was very clean and the table was clean. The cashier was was very nice and helpful great customer service. Mickaela was nice and sweet lady. I would love to go back to that Siempre Natural on Jackson. 👍😁“

“We were in the area wanting some local food and found it. (Little bit hidden, well for those unfamiliar with the city.) It was good, ordered the special and we finished everything. We went when it was calm and quiet which we didn't mind for the long day we had. Anyways if I'm ever in the area again we will definitely go once more.“

“Muy bueno y lugar agradable“

“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.“

“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 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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“comida rica y productos de calidad en su tienda“

“Had a good time. Our server was great“

“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.“

“Last night, Myra and I had one of the best date nights we've had in a long time at Santa Fe Steakhouse. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm, inviting atmosphere that set the tone for the evening. The lighting was just right, the music soft enough to enjoy conversation, and the service was exceptional professional, attentive, and friendly without ever feeling rushed. The food was simply outstanding. We started with an appetizer, Fried Cauliflower that was perfectly seasoned and fresh, followed by our entrées that exceeded expectations. My steak was cooked exactly how I asked tender, juicy, and full of flavor while Myra's dish was equally impressive. Every bite reminded us why Santa Fe Steakhouse has such a great reputation. The drinks were perfectly mixed to match the night's mood. But beyond the amazing food and atmosphere, it was the company that made the evening unforgettable. Sharing laughter, good conversation, and genuine connection with Myra made the night feel special in every way. Santa Fe Steakhouse didn't just serve great food it helped create a memorable experience that I'll truly cherish. Highly recommended.“

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

“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.“

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

“This place was amazing! Good burgers and you guys try the onion rings. Parking is on the side, I almost left cuz I couldn’t find parking. I’m glad I stopped by, the Burger I ordered was very good. The atmosphere is great also. Not loud like other bigger chain restaurants. Great homemade food. Give it a shot!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“I would only recommend the burgers . Everything else didn’t even have a morsel of salt . Onion rings were too greasy . Fries bland. Corn dog was just a boiled weenie with batter . Fried chicken was juicy but AGAIN bland , But the burgers were definitely 10/10“

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

“Nice place to hang out and Yasmeen Munoz was very nice and friendly“

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

“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 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“
