“My cousin and I ate there today and I am here to tell you the food was good but the service was amazing. Our server's name was Josh and in my opinion he should be cloned.

“I recently had the pleasure of being served by Ricky at Mimi’s Café, and I can confidently say he deserves all the praise. From the moment we sat down, Ricky's warm demeanor and genuine enthusiasm made our experience truly exceptional. He was attentive without being intrusive, ensuring our drinks were filled and our needs were met at every turn. Ricky offered insightful recommendations from the menu, which led us to some fantastic choices. His knowledge of the dishes and passion for the restaurant really shone through. What stood out most was his ability to create a welcoming atmosphere, making us feel like valued guests. He checked in regularly, but also took the time to share a few friendly anecdotes, adding a personal touch to our meal. Thanks to Ricky, our visit to Mimi’s Café was not just a meal but a memorable experience. I highly recommend asking for him on your next visit—you won’t be disappointed!“

“Leshly was a great server! She was very attentive and had a great attitude. The strawberry fields salad was great! Will definitely be back!“

“I’ve had Connie Wing Plus multiple times and every time I go, the wings are always really good. They honestly have some of the best hot wings I’ve had. The wings are crispy, fresh, and have a lot of flavor. I do wish they had a hotter flavor because I like my wings really spicy, but that’s not a big deal because the hot wings they have are still really good.

The fries are also amazing and definitely one of my favorite things to get from there. I’ve never really had a bad experience with the food, and the quality has been good every time I’ve gone. If you like wings, I definitely recommend trying Connie Wing Plus. I’ve been there multiple times and I’ll definitely keep going back. Overall, I’d give it a 10/10.“

“Awesome experience!! Highly recommend using them for drop off and pick up for events in Arlington!! Thanks for keeping my sanity !!“

“Ate breakfast here this morning food was good, service was slow but the shocker was seeing a "food tax" fee on my bill. No signage at entrance displaying an announcement of this new "fee". Cashier couldn't explain what it was for, why not raise your prices instead of sneaking this onto people's bill? Seems dishonest to me....“

“Each time I have visited this location the same person is working here! I am warmly greeted and today was offered a hug! It is more like I am seeing an old friend at this point! So friendly and helpful with recommendations from the menu! Food tasted better than I remembered! Can't wait to come back again!“

“Lisa's Chicken on Cooper st.is my favorite place to stop for my chicken fix 😀. I used to be a Churches chicken fan, but with their increase in prices and smaller pieces of chicken I had to find a new favorite stop. Lisa's Chicken has a great crispy skin, with juicy meat. The seasoning they use is unique to them, iI have not experienced that flavor profile any where else. Stop and give them a try, the price is budget friendly, you won't be disappointed.“

“Trey was amazing and very courteous. He’s definitely an asset for the team“

“Ate there last night! Food, chicken and dumplings, were great and the okra cooked perfectly. The waitress was awesome!“

Only negative is waiting about 20 minutes but im sure theres a lot of orders and short staffed in the kitchen.We will be back for sure and i would definitely recommend others to check them out!“

“I was so excited to fine a Black-eyed Pea still in existence in the DFW area. The food was just as good as I remember it. I had the Southwest Casserole with Red Beans & Rice and Cinnamon Apples. The beans and rice were smokey flavored and delicious.

Service was professional and pleasant. And the atmosphere was fantastic.

Great value for the money. Huge portions. Lots of parking.“

“The party melt smashed was very delicious and it was more then enough for me. The thick shakes and the old fashion names of the soft drinks blew me away. The barrels of assorted pickles were also a bonus as well. I will definitely return here again and recommend it to others.“

“We came in nearly at closing time and had a turkey sandwich on sourdough. It was extraordinary. Everything was fresh, the service was wonderful and it was even better than we had hoped. Of course we did not leave without stocking up on some of our favorite pastries we shouldn’t be eating . They were also excellent. So happy to see that others reviews and the reputation we’ve heard verbally was right on. Looking forward to going back having a nice lunch and then touring the castle.“

“This Dickey's has not only great food but also an amazing management team and staff. I placed a catering order for a Celebration of Life luncheon. The food was fresh and delicious, the delivery was on time and not a thing was missing from my large order. My calls with Sal, Ray and other staff members all gave me a feeling of confidence that my order was in good hands and that was exactly the way it turned out.“

“The fried chicken is good, fresh, and hot. I’m glad they have one in Arlington! I will definitely be back. The service is good, there is a young lady that is taking orders, preparing the order by herself and is not missing a beat!!!“
