“All the food was great, I felt a little overwhelmed, being my first time there and not sure of what I wanted, only because it felt rushed when ordering, not that it would stop me from coming back because our food was ready really fast and was all very good! So many choices! So little time!“
“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!“
“So the burger and fries were good, the meat was good, bread and all, just was missing something Maybe a little picante sauce. Don’t know but it was A- so will try a sauce or something next time I order. Did not read reviews so I just got what the cashier told me. Forgot to order the loaded fries, next time. The place was clean and there was plenty of sitting.“
“This is one of our favorite restaurants in McAllen! Great atmosphere, delicious food, and excellent service. Our favorite waiter Erika is always attentive, knows what we like and how we like our food, never have an empty glass of our drink. Always checking up and gives us different options for our meal, thank you!“
“Love this place! Our waitress Jasmine was pleasant and attentive. Stopped by the bar & ordered my favorite “shot” of Eddie’s Vodka Ruby red with a grapefruit spritzer and as always the bartender Celeste gets my request just right, love her!!“
“Well it's Denny's you know what you're going to getI had the new cream cheese and strawberry French toastWhich was fantastic alongside a couple of eggs and hash browns which were basic but good.Service was a little slow but I wasn't in a hurry and it was a little busy.So I have nothing to complain about.I will very likely go back for the same thing as I will be in the area for a while.I don't know if I would ever suggest Dennys to anyone but I would definitely recommend trying the strawberry cream cheese French toast.“
“Came for a quick breakfast had the pleasure of being assisted by Alejandra (Ale). She took our order quickly and was friendly and polite the whole time. Food was excellent, order was done exactly as we requested and our glasses were never empty. Ale was outstanding and definitely on her game, especially considering the restaurant was packed! Definitely 5 stars!“
“Walked over to this restaurant from our nearby hotel and glad we did! Everything was more than we expected! Even had a pianist providing background music for our experience. Crab cakes best we’ve ever had, scallops melted in our mouth and the orange roughy baked in clay was so full of flavour. Waitress was so friendly and informative after we told her this was our first time!“
“The service is always amazing. Friendly staff, but the coup de gras and is of course the food! I had the 1/2 biscuit and gravy order (it's a really big biscuit(!), with tons of sausage and delicious gravy. That was plenty to share with those with a smaller appetite like me. But you should never, and I mean NEVER miss out on the muffins - especially the Hawaiian ones!!! The owners are amazing and even held an order for me after hours when I was running late. Not *that's service!! Try this place, you'll never regret it.“
“Another AMAZING visit to University Draft House in Edinburg. Our server Angel was on point with his beer suggestions. Manager Matt was working the floor helping his team. These guys made a huge impact in our dining experience. I think we all know the valley is not known for good service but these guys make you feel like you're in a big city with their red carpet treatment. When you go in make sure to joke and have a good time with them. They're a lively group. They have live bands and an energetic environment.“
“Their food and service is top tier. Only reason it’s a 4 star and not a 5 star is that my favorite item was removed. Their beyond burger was the best and I was glad to finally have a nice place to eat out that offered a great option for me. I know they replaced it with a veggie burger but it’s not even close to being what the beyond burger was. I’ve tried some of the other vegan options but nothing could compare. Another thing is that at peak time between all the people and the loud music it can be very hard to hear both the people you’re with and the server. However that being said food was always fantastic and service was amazing.Vegetarian options: They have a lot to offer for vegetarians and have clearly labeled menus for restrictions. Same for vegans we are capable of having a good meal here. I will say however their normal buns are not vegan so you have to sub out for their gluten free one which is not the greatest so I’d recommend bringing a bun if you want a better bun option.Dietary restrictions: They have a very detailed area warning of common allergens and have separate menus for vegans/vegetarians/gluten free people.“
“Jacob, the server was terrific and attentive. Food was prepared quickly and to order. It arrived hot and tasty. The water I ordered had a good taste, no lemon required. The meals were $18 for one Grand Slam, one Deluxe Grand Slam, two hot teas. Left a cash tip to make sure Jacob received it right away.“
“Thank you Nicole you were the best server we had. Nicole was very attentive. She was super nice and fast. She made a connection with us which is the best customer service you can give. Nicole thank you so much we will be back soon because of you. You deserve a raise hands down.“
“Had a great experience here at Eddy’s & what made it even better was having Amarantha as our waitress! She has a friendly demeanor and was always with a positive attitude. When we come back we hope you take care of us again. Other than that, place is very clean and music was on point!“
“Good place for a good burger....has the "Sunshine" burger....it is a sloppy one to eat ...but tasty....adult beverages (draft) were nice and cold. Good spot for large group of people to get together. The screaming toddlers in the bar area were a slight pain in the 6 O'clock....once they left it was better.“
“Absolutely marvelous food. Everything we ate was cooked to perfection! The staff were very respectful, polite, and tentative. Our cocktails were even up to a Grade A standard. I grew up in a family of wonderful cooks, and this place takes the cake for one of the best restaurants in all of the valley!“
“Nice little spot in San Juan, TX serving a variety of fresh burgers, fried seafood and fried chicken. The food is made to order so it is always fresh and delicious. The service is friendly and welcoming all the time. My go to is the 4 chicken tender plate with BBQ sauce.Parking: Very few parking spaces but you can park on the street if all the spaces are taken.“
“Love love the atmosphere, and how attentive the waiter was with us especially with my mom since she was the Birthday gal….they recommended the best dishes on the house absolutely everything was super delicious….price for everything was decent…Ruben was our waiter and his “

“Easily one of the best coffee shops in the valley. Very spacious, tranquil, delicious coffee, great service. Come to Weslaco and stop by here, not overthere. Plenty of parking on the street or next to the building. Small conference room available. Outdoor seating available. Great spot to say the least.“
“My first Texas BBQ experience.... not disappointed.It was a road trip so I was very eager and hungry, did my research for something near McAllen and Rudy's came top of the list.Very nice place, very nice service. Brisket sandwich was goooood, hope to come back soon.“

“Walk Ons is a great place to hang out and watch sports and the food is fantastic. But what makes our visits even better is the service that Dominique provides. We always ask for here when we go there because she goes above and beyond to make sure we are happy!“
“Went a few weeks ago for the first time and had a great experience. I’d definitely ask for Cristian as your server if you go. My Husband and I have been to plenty of high end restaurants throughout Texas, and have never had a better server than Cristian. He knows the menu, kept our drinks filled and provided the best service we have ever received at any other Restaurant! He also recommended the southern shrimp as an appetizer which was amazing! Food was good, definitely worth the price! My Husband and I will be going back soon! Overall glad to finally have a restaurant like this in Edinburg“
“My husband and I were in town visiting family & we stumbled across House.Wine.Bistro in looking for a place to have a quick drink …. And man, we are SO happy we did!Chantelle & Ethan at the bar were so welcoming and made the absolute best recommendations for both food & drinks. We had such a great time on our first visit, we quite literally returned less than 24 hours later for our Saturday night dinner!The Owner & Chef, Larry, came out and introduced himself - you can tell he & his team take great pride in everything they do… truly the embodying the definition of hospitality.We cannot recommend enough House. Wine. Bistro.On top of the amazing hospitality, the homemade pasta is quite simply something you dream of —If you are in the area, it is a definite “must” — we already cannot wait to visit again (:“
“Great food, service and atmosphere. I notice the manager is on top of the customers and friendly- keep it up. Bobby the server is great and on top of our orders/needs as well as the whole staff. Over all, great establishment! ??Keep up the great work guys ??“
“/24Went to go eat with my brother Josh and my favorite sis-n-law at Chedders scratch kitchen. Service was good and food was great. I recommend this place will go again. Even though there was a long line we got seated in about 30minsFood was good the server was really good“
“I’m originally from California and I came down to Texas with the family and we decided to go to main event and we had a really great time the food was great the time we had there was awesome we also had this very amazing server named Brandon he’s was very nice, considerate, and took great care of our table just wanted to say he’s a really great kid.“
“My friend and I came to Bodega today to try out their brunch menu. They’ve changed their selections since the last time I came, and everything they offered looked so good, it was hard to choose! Luckily, our server, Nathan, gave excellent recommendations for apps, meals, and even dessert! We started with some of their oysters, enjoyed our meals, and finished off with the crème brûlée for dessert. I can’t stress how delicious that crème brûlée was; I’m already craving it again! We had an absolutely wonderful time, everything was perfection! :)“
“I had dinner here with a large group of veterans, which can quickly become hectic. All the entrees ordered were great and had plenty of flavor. My steak was perfectly cooked and the flavor was outstanding. I didn't get the servers' names but they were awesome and kept checking on us. To end the night we had an assortment of desserts. My favorite was the carrot cake, but others raved about the cheesecake and chocolate cake. I will definitely be back.“
“Went to go watch the final football games of the season and had a great time. I had the triple dipper as it comes in the picture, a dos xx and a molten lava chocolate cake to finish it off. Service was good, food was good and they had game playing over the speakers instead of music so ppl could hear what was going on in the game.“
“I ate here years ago and remembered it was good, so I came again. The service is great. Very friendly. If you’re in a hurry, go somewhere else. It takes a while to prepare good food. The coleslaw and macaroni sides were very good. The El Pastor Wrap is very good. And there’s lots of it. The only reasons I didn’t give five stars are:The grill was too hot and burned stripes on the chicken. Once I got that scraped off, minor effort, the chicken wrap was great.The napkins are starched too stiff. It’s like wiping your face with cardboard. I would suggest skipping the starch.All in all, it was good. I’ll be back.Parking: Usually plenty of parking. A little tight during noon rush.Wheelchair accessibility: There’s one ramp near reserved parking.“
“First time going to coffee zone and it was good! I forgot to take a picture before eating because I was hungry ?. But I enjoyed my lunch with an iced matcha latte and strawberry foam on top (I forgot the name of the drink). I ordered their special Chinese bbq pork noodles, it was delicious!“
“I highly recommend their breakfast tacos especially the taco loco with egg it is so filling. If you go for lunch try the chicken fried chicken plate or their enchiladas. The homemade salad with chips and cafecito always hits the spot too. Customer service is excellent as well.“
“PATSY AT THE BAR IS THE BEST! Well Patsy and Jackie…. Today Patsy was at the bar and service is always on point, fast, super cold drinks and very attentive bartenders. Been coming since this place opened, Chili’s has never been a place for me but this one here really exceeds my expectations, thank you. I will continue to come here for drinks and food.“
“Absolutely an amazing discovery love it definitely I will come back for moreIf you haven't been, go, I didn't know about it and I didn't know what they sell but there is everything from sandwiches to delicious homemade food at the end and at the beginning they have a unique gesture, they give you a noodle and a cake, it's worth discovering too much“
“Variety fresh cooked food is impressive. The dining room is cafeteria style. So that is the atmosphere rating. Table service was fantastic, with wait staff buzzing by every few minutes with refills. Locals love this place .Parking: Plenty of parking, though this location is in hard to drive thru location. Speed bumps and is behind burger king.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, plenty of flat level parking is easy access for wheelchairs. Seating at tables is fine too.“
“Our server was outstanding ? ? ? ? ?Maia made our experience so much fun,she went out of her way to make us feel welcome she had all these food recommendations for my husband and I to try. My son ended up trying the Mac&cheese as per her suggestion, and my son loved it. She's so energetic and social we didn't want to leave..Kudos to you, Maia, hope to have the pleasure of getting sat on one of your tables on our next visit to this location.“
“We booked their Elote Stand for our wedding and it was one of the best decisions we made! Our guests LOVED it and the corn was delicious! So many neat toppings to choose from and friendly service from the team that served the cups. It was a lot of our guests first experience with elote and the team provided recommendations for our guests as they created their cups! Great service, clean practices and very cute stand with fair pricing! Smooth experience from booking to the end of the event. Can’t wait to use them again in the future!“
“My food was a tad cold, need to keep hot and ready food at 165 degrees.... to avoid batcteria! The staff was standing around talking about last night affairs. But when they saw the manager make rounds, they scattered like flires. Our waitres never came by to see if we needed anything! Need improvement on customer service from the serving people, cashiers and wait staff! I was surprised this was going on while restaurant was almost empty. More smiles to patrons would be great! Not the same as years past!“
“We ordered the following from the menu. The brisket sandwich came with onion rings and a salad. I give it 10 stars, best meal. We ordered a baked potato on the side OMG best ever, super delicious. My husband ordered the fajita tacos. They were so juicy, and tender on flour tortillas was the best with a street corn on the side is also the best. For being the first time here, it is so good but pricey but delicious and worth every dollar.“
“I absolutely love their Lunch Menu. It has the right mix of tasty dishes at very affordable prices.Whatever you choose to eat goes down well with an Ice-Cold glass of draft beer, my preferences are either a Blue Moon Belgian Ale or local brewer's 5x5 Vaquero.Yes, you can be plain and boring by choosing Budweiser, Bud Light or Miller Lite. Why even go to a Bar and Grill if you are not willing to try something different every now and then?“
“I try to come to the jazz event stuff. It's really nice listening to the live music in the outside area. The burgers we had here were great. The chips with cheese on the other hand weren't that good. I wouldn't get those again for sure. Last time we were here I got a fly in my beer still full glass. And the manager said that if I wanted a new one, that I would have to pay for a new one. Which dulled the experience a bit not gonna lie but the server was so nice for giving us coasters to cover the drinks after that. That was pretty sweet of her. Her service was the best.“
“Dare to Embark on a culinary journey at the Sidebar! ?✨ With a cozy ambiance and delectable dishes, live soft jazz in the background, it’s the perfect spot to sweep your date off their feet. ?? #Sidebar #Cocktail #Dinner?#RGVhotspots #Romantic #“
“The restaurant is very lovely and well lit on the inside. The menu is diverse. The chicken was amazing, however the sides were mid. I got the half chicken plate with Mexican street corn and Mac & Cheese. Service was quick and the sweet tea and lemonade were very pleasant tasting. 8/10“
“first time here, service here is very attentive which is amazing.however the men's bathroom was a little underwhelming, water everywhere on the floor not to mention no soap either.prices are fair and worth, definitely will come back for future visits.“
“Black Bear (Vegas and Utah) has been our go-to family spot for the longest. It was the best surprise to find one here in McAllen! Feels like home.Our usuals: tri-tip dip, fish n chips, burger, biscuits & gravy, chocolate cream pie, bread pudding, and the awesome kids menu. But really, everything is great. Classic diner fare.Kid-friendliness: Awesome kids menu that includes dessert“
“This is the place to be on Sunday nights in the valley. No other establishments across the valley can rival it. It's beyond lively with the amount of patrons. However, majority don't show up till midnight or slightly later. Meanwhile, the service at the bar is hit or miss. Possible favoritism with certain people but that is also any bar. Like it's packed, but not Friday/Saturday slammed. Additionally, they include a 20% gratitude. Maybe fellow patrons were being cheap? Idk. For the record, I have yet to eat there. Does have a decent amount of high tables and some booths however.“
“Maya was a great server and the food was on time, hot and delicious! I love coming to this Denny’s! Thank you Maya for your amazing service! Our son AB loved you!Kid-friendliness: AB loved Maya! He was so grateful to her for making his strawberry banana shake :)“
“Love this place!! Went last night with friends. It is a quirky place with lots of interesting art. The bartender, Chrystal, is fantastic. Very helpful with selections. The food is fantastic. We shared the mushrooms and ahi dishes and they exceeded our expectations. Won't be sharing next time! We went in at six. They don't start serving food until 6 or seven, so had a few beers first. This place is very busy after 10. VERY busy. But only 5 or 6 people when we went in, which is perfect for retirees. Doesn't open until 6 now. But check hours before going. Great selection of craft beers and ciders on tap. The Moscato was also excellent.“
“Been coming here for the past few months and the service is expectionally well and consistent. The waffle fries are the best, also crispy and fresh. Destiny has been my favorite bartender by a long shot. I don't recommend going for lunch during the week because multiple times I've noticed they only have one server and it can get packed and be overwhelming for her.“
“Well deserved 5 star rating, this place is indoor and outdoor it is awesome. Great tasting food, great music. They make sure to cater to all music genres which is a plus. They also have different events going on, which you can find on thier Facebook page. I recommend you to bring your family and friends here. It's kid and pet friendly. Last but not least, management is great, they make sure you are well taken care of.“
