“Fue una esperienza religiosa! We were going to QT for gas, but it was closed. We went to the Racetrack instead, and tacos called to me. I was in love at first bite….grabbed a handful of napkins in case I drooled too much. I stole the grilled jalapeño from my guy, and went to Glory mid-taco. Sooo good! Thank you, Lindale.”

“Gordon Street has very good food, it’s surprisingly good and cheap. We live in Downtown Houston where everything is super expensive and usually not great. Gordon streets food is always better and always 1/2 the price. When we want to unwind and sit in the peace and quiet this is one of our favorites.”

“So I have drove past malt n burger for 25 years. Never stopped probably because it doesn’t look like the best place. I seen a post on the Facebook machine and they said how good it was and a great Philly. So today I stopped to pick up a Philly. Well they did not disappoint. I also went into the building to pick up and it was very nice inside don’t judge a book by its cover. I will be back many times and I will try the burger next. A PLUS rating from me.”

“Ordered the chicken fried steak from Uber Eats and it was not good at all.. wasn't fresh, more breaded with less meat and the part that had meat it was chewy.. will not be ordering that again.. fried okra was ok needed a little salt, corn casserole-not good, had burnt taste, fried zucchini squash was ok just needed a little seasoning. Overall, I wasn't satisfied.. my favorite go to meal from here is chicken and waffles 🧇 and that's what I will stick with and that's the only reason I gave the food 4 stars.”
Coffee Shops • $
“Traveling from Midland, TX on business and my go to choice "Black Rifle" was a pretty good shot out of my way but 1820 was a nice alternative. Also I love supporting local businesses and not big chains owned by people with no soul like Starbucks etc. Great coffee and a nice relaxing atmosphere. I highly recommend if you are in the area and looking for that morning fix.”

“Great customer service! I had placed my order on the app about 10 minutes before arriving because I was in a hurry. When I got to the drive-thru, there was a bit of a wait, but the team made up for it by including an extra 4-piece nugget in my order. It was a thoughtful gesture that really showed they care about their customers. Thank you, Burger King, for going the extra mile!”
Burgers • $
“This place was extremely busy because of the 75-cent Whataburger deal. They did get a couple things wrong like not putting cheese on our burgers and it took an hour to get my food but it's not usually like that it's just because they had a super good deal going on for their 75th anniversary”

“"Dine in Rating" is best. You will have to pull forward and wait for your order if you go through the drive-thru.I hate that!!! It's cheating the system to have a quick service report...But since I dine in today for lunch. This location gets my 5 star rating.”

“EVERYTHING is fantastic here! My parents were married in 1963 in Freeport. They honeymooned in Galveston. They drove through Alvin and stopped at Dairyland on the way. Since they were teenagers they drank Cherry Dr Pepper and they said Dairyland has 1 of the best! We moved to Alvin in 1977. I have been going to Dairyland and eating and hanging out for the last 45 yrs!! I have had everything on the menu and it’s all good! There is not a teenager from Alvin that hasn’t eaten and hung out here since 1960!!”

“Mr Craig Newman, operator of the Alvin Chick-Fil-A, appears to be a caring, kind, friendly, and hardworking individual…and his team seems to adore him. I may have caught them on good days, so it could just be coincidence…I don’t think so. Theresa, his Director and right arm, seems to be highly structured and caring towards customers and in support of their team. She keeps the store on course. There have been times where I’ve complimented a team member on her jacket whilst in the the drive through. I told her it — her jacket — looked warm on a frosty day. She replied, “Thank you! My operator (Mr Newman) got it for me and even embroidered my name on it,” as she beamed with pride. The team members here don’t look like they show up just to collect a paycheck. They are invested. That attitude and focus on service comes from the top down. It’s an orderly and friendly restaurant and we’ve always felt welcomed. Great job, Mr Newman! Oh, and did I mention that we don’t even live in Alvin? Our town has a Chick-Fil-A, too. Our local Chick-Fil-A has great food and feels more transactional. Mr Newman’s store has more heart.”

“Tried to call ahead to see if they had the Earl Campbell kolaches. No one answered the phone. When we got there she said that they only have one size of kolaches which we know is not true she did not speak good English. It's really really irritating. Now they want me to rate my experience it is a zero again I say a zero.”

“We love eating here and the food is good. today was the first time I was disappointed. came in last night to pick up dinner and I ordered two sausage eggs tacos for breakfast today. I opened them up and there was maybe 2 small crumbles of sausage in each. They made them quick so obviously this was left over. So today we're eating old scrambled eggs in a tortilla with no meat. disappointed”
