“I dined at Mi Cocina yesterday and it was a wonderful time. Amber was our server and she was efficient and friendly. We enjoyed our food very much. The atmosphere was pleasant and we never felt rushed. I will go again and hope Amber will be my waitress.”
“Best place to enjoy dinner with friends and family super cozy place and lovable music best recommendable place for special occasions and special drinks and high quality tasty Indian authentic foods 5 star from my side ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Excellent authentic Italian food...party of 5 went for Mother's Day and each of us had a different dish. Everything was excellent including cocktails. Service was great and attentive. Will definitely go back for lunch and dinner. Finally a great Italian restaurant close to us!”
“My friend and I had lunch at Lazy Dog on 9-23-25. Crystal was our waitress. She was exceptional. She made some fantastic recommendations, attended to our needs but was very thoughtful and respectful of our visit together. She was an absolute joy and our meals were so good!”
“I was amazed by how it taste: the lamb skew, fried noodles, the grilled veggies, tendons and everything that we ordered. I spent years in Beijing and this place even beats most places back in china, I guarantee you. I would definitely come back every chance I get.”

“The food was great, the service was on point. Never waiting on anything and having a Birthday that night, everything was perfect”
“Awesome place. Great service and the food is top notch. The crawfish was cooked and seasoned perfectly. The corn is so fresh. We also had the calamari appetizer and being from Cali I’m very qualified to say it is in my top three for flavor and tenderness. Ask for Kaylyn to serve you she is GREAT!”

“We had a wonderful date night here. With the restaurant being open only a week this was our first time at this location. The owner and our waitress were very kind and listen to our feed back and instantly implemented improvements to better serve. The food was wonderful. We will certainly return soon.”

“The food… delicious!!! The chicken soup is so next level, I can’t describe how much I loved the soup. Nothing like I’ve ever had in my life. The fish and chips with jalapeño hush puppies are delicious. The burger is outstanding. Can’t say a bad thing about the food. The beers. WOW!!! The brewers are mad crazy inventive with the beer. I did a flight of 4 for $10. Limited myself to just the 4 because I had to drive. If I hadn’t been driving. I probably could have tried another 8, they all sounded so good. Good thing I don’t live in the area cause I’d probably go broke eating lunch and dinner every day”

“This is one of our favorite restaurants for Asian cuisine. The menu has a broad selection of Thai dishes. The chef continues to add new dishes. For example their latest menu added Pumpkin Curry. I added shrimp. It was so savory! My wife had the salmon and was equally pleased. Thai fried rice is another favorite. So much variety to choose from. We’ll be back!”
“Nice Indian restaurant. The service and food was good. The Hostess was very sweet and helpful. our group tried the buffet. I like it, a very nice variety of food. The restaurant states the food has a mild spice, I agree. It was spicy but just right for me. I enjoyed my visit. The location and interior is very nice. I recommend them if you are looking for good Indian food.”
“Had a great stop at Pure Green - Juice Bar Watters Creek. I ordered an açaí bowl, and it was fresh, flavorful, and really hit the spot.
The texture was perfect thick and smooth and the toppings tasted fresh and well-balanced. Not overly sweet, just a clean, refreshing option that actually feels healthy.
The place itself is nice, clean, and has a good vibe. Service was quick and easy, which makes it a great option if you’re on the go or just want something light.
Definitely a solid choice in Allen if you’re looking for a quality açaí bowl. I’ll be back.”
“Absolutely Amazing Food and Service. Ironic that Blaine and went to same school to play Baseball. He is a super cool Human. Blessed to have this experience !”
“We were there and waited on by a super nice young man at 3:30 pm today! we visit often on our trips to ut southwestern, thanks again, always good food and wonderful service! great location”

“We had hummus and pita bread as an appetizer. The pita was hot, freshly made, and the hummus was delicious! We had a grilled sirloin steak, veggies and rice, and grilled lamb chops with veggies and rice. The veggies were steamed and fresh. The rice had a wonderful flavor to it. We will certainly be back, and highly recommend it. The atmosphere was great, as it is a converted two story house. Our room was simply decorated with pictures and well designed color scheme.”
“I love this place! Tonight Kelsey was my server. I've had her numerous times before, and the service as always was superb! I drink unsweetened iced tea, and she brings me a new glass of tea before I have even finished the one I am drinking. Everyone is so friendly! The food is great, and if something is wrong with it they quickly replace it. This has only happened a time or two, one of which was my fault for not ordering correctly. In spite of that they still graciously replaced it. I can't recommend this place enough!”
“It feels as if you’re not in Allen, but on vacation somewhere else.”
“my first time here, absolutely amazing service and the food is absolutely divine
I tried the jollof rice and the beef stew and it was absolutely amazing. I’m definitely coming back.
Gladys was my server and she was absolutely sweet and absolutely amazing. She kept asking me if I need anything throughout the entire time and asked how was the food and kept checking on me multiple times.
I definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone that wants to try authentic good Nigerian food”

“The staff let us stand at the counter for about 5 minutes before finally coming to take our order. There was a female that looked at us and walked away. The manager looked at her with disgust and he took our order. The food was OK. My wife likes Jack in the box and I really don't.”
“I stopped in for breakfast since my hotel breakfast was unappealing. They happened to have a $5 deal which included a breakfast Jack, 3 French toast sticks and a hashbrown. So I got that along with an egg roll. Everything was very good and an excellent deal as well. There's no JITB near me so I stop in whenever I get the chance and they never disappoint.”
“I came with my kiddos during the weekend lunch rush and received the best customer service I’ve ever gotten at any McDonald’s. I ordered thru the app and accidentally selected drive thru instead of table. The manager said it was no problem, helped me, and personally got my order ready super fast. We had a girl come to our table to see if we needed anything and throw trash for us. Every employee we encountered was so polite and welcoming.”
“Food was fantastic. My makers mark and ginger ale was not makers mark. I have it weekly I know what it tastes like.”

“We visited this location at noon, last Sunday and it was PACKED and the drive through was wrapped around as well. Standing room only inside however we managed to get a table and gave ours to an older couple when they were walking in as we were done. Anyway, I just wanted to say our first visit here was nothing short of amazing. All of the employees looked to be younger and they were all so friendly, all had genuine smiles and our service was excellent with a very small wait time. Great job!”
“My sons and I came here this past Saturday and it was top-notch! First off it’s incredibly inviting and the staff is very kind! I ordered Mickey Mouse pancakes for my sons and they had such a kick out of it, but the pancakes were very delicious! I ordered a caramel latte with the chicken skillet bowl. Both were packed with flavor and it left me wanting to come back for more! Thank you, Sofra for being the best spot to dine in Allen Texas for breakfast. Can’t wait to come back again and also try the lunch menu.”

“Everything was amazing! Spring rolls, lettuce wraps, chicken fired rice, sweet and spicy Chang's chicken and of course their orange chicken. It did not disappoint! Also, great service and they were able to offer many options to our guest with food allergies. :)”
“You’re a life savior. Less time in the kitchen, at the grocery store and trying to figure out what’s for dinner. All I have to do is follow the easy instructions on the pan. Whether it be after a long day at work or a busy night with sports, I have something ready for dinner in just minutes. I can’t say enough about the food. Everything is delicious. We have yet to eat something that we did not like. I like the fact that we don’t eat the same food over and over. I always look forward to what the menu will be for the next week. Highly recommended for a busy family. My only regret is that I did not find you sooner😁”
“We hosted our family reunion at The Hub and it was an awesome experience! We reserved the cantina area of Macho Taco and had a catered fajitas buffet. The food and drinks were delicious, and everything was set up perfectly for our group. Special shout out to Jennifer, Cameron, and Collin,they were all fantastic and made sure we had everything we needed. Highly recommend for any gathering or celebration!”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“We went today with 4 young kids and 4 adults. We were treated like royalty! Food was delicious, owner brought out a complimentary slice of chocolate cake for my 4 year old grandson and gave all the kids a quarter for the skittles machine. Our waiter was very polite and accommodating. Our lunch was so delicious and generous in portions. We have been fans of Napoli for years!”
“Promenade is such a nice cozy café. The owner is friendly. She acknowledges us and welcomes us back everytime we go there. I thought that was a very nice personal touch. They have a varied selection of pasteries, coffees, bubble teas, and smoothies. They have just the perfect blend of atomosphere, quick friendly service, and a light breakfast. It is such a treat for my kids when we stop there on our way out. 😋”
“This has been our go-to neighborhood Tex-Mex joint since moving to the area a year ago. Consistently solid food and service. The house frozen margarita ($12) is outstanding, includes a splash of Gran Gala on top, and is served in a beautiful glass. Just $8 during weekday happy hour ('til 6:30) and $6 all day Monday. The salsa is one of the best I've had. Tacos al Carbon, Chepa's tacos, and brisket enchiladas are always excellent. The only disappointment has been the enchiladas verdes with carnita meat (gristly and oily).
Service is friendly and efficient; a manager always seems to be present to ensure this. Atmosphere is better than most Mom & Pop Mexican restaurants.
If you pick up a To Go order, I would check it before leaving as we've had items omitted from orders in the past.”
“Amazing coffee, The peanut butter milkshake will change your life unbelievably good! Friendly staff their breakfast burritos and stuffed waffles are amazing! Will definitely be back, if you haven't been your missing out, the name fits its definitely a cozy spot with a family-home atmosphere vibe.”
“Was looking forward to finally trying Zio Al's out but the day we planned to everyone was feeling tired and it was storming so we decided to order in from them. We live in East Plano and they delivered to us. It took about 45 mins, which I think was a great time.
Food came hot and very fresh. We did the family combo, which was a large cheese pizza, large pepperoni pizza, cheese breadsticks and wings. Lots of food for a decent price. Everything was very flavorful. My husband really liked the spicy lemon pepper wings. We are looking forward to coming in store to try out more menu items!”
Cheap Eats
“There are few places these days where I have a hard time choosing between multiple entrées. Or rotating between them, depending on how you see a thing. The easy-to-choose start of a happy hour swirl margarita and the Queso Blanco Torres alone are massive selling points. But Salsa Tex-Mex Allen is that place where the food is well... grouped, I guess ...? as to potential selections, it is VERY reasonably priced, -and- you get food in a large quantity. We have yet to even be charged for substitutions. It makes a place like Lupe Tortilla a ridiculous mistake; a mistake we only make once. All the staff at S T-M rotate the dining area making sure everyone is taken care of. Management is visible and refilling chips, taking empty plates, checking drinks - there is a magnificent sense of family inside the restaurant's culture that they then extend to you. Nuestra camarera esta noche fue Melissa, and she was truly exceptional in every way. Thank you all for a wonderful experience yet again. I think I have about 3 days of meals in my leftovers before I'll need to return.”
“Been meaning to try this place for awhile and my only regret is that I didn't stop in sooner! Hot, fresh food made to order and easily fit my dietary needs. Best beef I've had in an age too. They really mean it when they promise quality.
Got the carnivore with double medium beef and added some A1 to it. Tasted excellent and was nourishing. My partner got the Juarez and swapped in an egg for the cheese due to an allergy without issue. Sweet potato fries were creamy inside and just crispy outside.
If you're looking for a new burger joint to try, come here! It's fantastic and you'll be supporting a small business to boot.”
“We had a baby celebration at Matt’s in Allen and it was a great experience! Communication with Ericka to schedule and plan the event was easy. The banquet room was perfect, allowing everyone to sit and eat or get up to walk around and visit. We chose the “Munchies Feast” buffet and it was plenty of food. Open tab for beer and margaritas. Our server, Luis, was fabulous- attentive and responsive. Everyone we dealt with was friendly, and our guests had a wonderful time! 👏🏻🎉🎊😀”
“THE BEST SERVICE, FOOD AND AMBIANCE IN ALLEN!! SHOUT OUT TO HANAN , JENNA , SAJEDA !!! The service here is IMPECCABLE AND HANDS DOWN THE MOST FRIENDLY, UNFORGETTABLE, SPECTACULAR AND MOST AMAZING EXPERIENCE I HAVE HAD IN MY ENTIRE LIFE!! The girls here greeted me immediately with smiles and help with my order bc it was the first time I had been here. THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART LADIES !!”
“We went to dinner at Silver Thai Cuisine in Allen last night and y’all… this place is a GEM.
It has that “Cheers” type feel — warm, welcoming, and comfortable — but the food quality is truly top tier. Fresh ingredients, bold flavor, generous portions, and pricing that honestly surprised me (in a good way).
I had a chance to visit with the owner and gained a whole new level of respect. Independent restaurants are carrying an incredible load right now — high rent, rising food costs, and competing against chains that can buy ingredients for a fraction of the price. Yet he refuses to compromise the quality he’s always served.
Places like this don’t survive without a community that shows up.
If you love supporting locally owned restaurants that care deeply about what they serve, now would be a really good time to go try them.
Go prove me wrong. ❤️”
“Not only does Chicago Original Oizza have an amazing selection of pizzas, all of which are fantastic, but their Chicago Italian Beef, Maxwell Street Polish, and Chicago Hot Dog are outstanding and like fresh Chicago made. Never had a bad order!”
“Staff is always so friendly and accommodating. We’ve been multiple times and it is always a good an experience. The Alla Vodka Pasta and the Salmon dish are currently our favorites. Their Caesar salad is also really good.”
“Although there was a convention at the hotel and they were busy the food and service were great! Nico was my server as well as covering the entire restaurant and bar he did an amazing job taking care of all the patrons with a smile. He is the reason I am writing the review. He stepped up at a time in need and provided great service. Thanks Nico.”

“5/5 Stars
Title: Lucas at Cracker Barrel just restored my faith in humanity (and biscuits)
I walked into Cracker Barrel expecting the usual solid country breakfast vibes — rocking chairs, peg game, and decent hashbrown casserole — but our server Lucas turned out to be the absolute MVP. From the moment we sat down, he was on it: refills appeared like magic, he remembered exactly how we liked everything, making sure price was as is, and brought this calm, happy energy that made the meal feel like hanging out with a super-efficient friend. He checked in at all the right moments, took care of the whole table (even the picky eaters), and honestly made a quick stop feel like the highlight of the day. Lucas, you’re killing it, man — the food was great, but your service made it next-level. I’m already planning my next trip back. If you’re in the area, ask for Lucas. 10/10 would recommend and return. Cracker Barrel hit a home run with this one.”

“When this location was first opened, they could not do anything correctly. But since January 2023 they are great! I always order on the app and pick up inside. They have gotten my order correct every time. It's not always ready when I go in to pick it up, but that's okay. As soon as I tell them the order I am picking up, they fix it right away with nice hot food! This place is way too close to my house. As a result, I go there way too much!😋”

“First time here with no idea what to expect, pretty solid place. I had the mild buffalo tender basket with waffle fries, not bad at all. They ain't playin' around with their buffalo, that was pretty 'picy. The waffle fries were on par with Chick-fil-A, and the dirty soda was good, too. I'll be back again to have me a sammich.”
