“This was our first visit to Twin Peaks. Food was delicious and service was exceptional. Azia, our server, was attentive, friendly and went the extra mile! Amazing experience! I know we'll be repeat customers.“

“Nachos were cold. Some plates came out and some came 10 minutes later. Appetizers came out after food was served. Had to ask 3 times about where our drink order was. 2nd round of drinks were cancelled after 30 minute wait. Restaurant was at about 40% full. No reason for such poor service.“

“We were sat immediately. Our waitress, Katie, gave excellent service. Prices were very reasonable. Food was absolutely delicious! We had Chorizo Queso Dip, Poblano Spinach Dip, Green Chili Burger, Spicy Habanero Burger, and Bacon Guacamole Burger, all with fire fries. Everything was served hot and fresh. Samantha Pedroza, manager, checked on our table. I had previously met with her regarding holding an event at the restaurant. She was professional, courteous, and very knowledgeable. Based on our initial meeting, I knew I had to dine here and I was not disappointed! Liz Chavez also checked to see how are dining experience went. She was also very nice and professional. This will be one of my go to restaurants!“

The attentive, excellent, and efficient service further elevates the overall satisfaction of one's experience. Furthermore, the thoughtfully curated interior design contributes to a sophisticated environment.“

“A real hidden gem. Fantastic restaurant with excellent food, great cocktails, perfect service and top notch atmosphere. We went to the 35 for our 25th anniversary and had a very memorable experience. Food was fantastic. We started things off with a dozen super fresh oysters on the half shell. My wife had the prime rib and I had the fillet (cut with my fork!). We’re from out of town and enjoy hitting the “big city” on occasion to visit a good restaurant - usually a steakhouse. 35 is our best find yet. We’ll be back again and again! Bye bye WT Chophouse! 35 is better!!!“

“Food is good and plentiful and cool atmosphere“

“The wife and I go here frequently. The food is amazing, they have a great beer selection, and the service is always on point. They have some of the best burgers in town. Also, if you like spicy food, their guys have some stuff that'll leave your tummy crying 🤣“

“One of the best burgers in the city.

The burger was honestly delicious. It has a unique flavor that makes it stand out. The meat is juicy, perfectly seasoned, and everything just comes together right. The bread, the cheese, the pickles, It’s one of those memorable burgers.

Pro tip: ask for a chile toreado. It takes the burger to another level and adds that extra kick that makes it even better.

The lemonade is great, sweetened with real honey, so it tastes clean and natural. Fries were solid too, deep fried with beef tallow making them crispy followed with a perfect fry seasoning.

People are definitely sleeping on this spot. If you’re in El Paso, this is a must-try.“

“First time going here and I am amazed I've never heard of recommendations for here before. The breakfast was amazing and came out from the kitchen fast. Highly recommend to try their breakfast out and I will definitely come back and try lunch or dinner.“

“Well operated business, clean environment, manager stopped at table and was genuine. Server was great but she became overwhelmed when business picked up which is understable but didnt fold. Food presentation was plus also. KUDOS to staff from a former OPS F and B manager!!“

“Hands down one of the best waiters I’ve ever been serviced by. Cesar was very friendly , made the environment feel smooth and easy going not only that but his attitude is one of the things you can’t beat made me feel like I was chatting with an old friend. That reason alone is worth coming back 10/10“

“This weekend I took my uncle and aunt that came into town from Dallas TX to eat here. They were both completely blown away with how amazing the food was. My aunt ranted and raved with how the food was packed with flavor and the chicken she ordered was so tender and not dry!!! She also let the employees there know that in Dallas all the Applebees there could never measure up to the food or service she experienced at this one. They both continued to say throughout the whole day that how they wished they could take all the cooks and staff home with them. They will definitely be revisiting before leaving. Thank you to the George dieter Applebees team for giving my family a wonderful experience! always the best one to visit! A special thank you to the managers that were there who were very professional and welcoming Jordan and Robert! what a great team you both hold!“

“Rosie is hands down the best server on the Gateway Blvd East location. Not only is our food always as we order it but always welcomes us with a friendly smile and hug. Here timing with checking in on us is never inconvenient. I always ask to be seated in her section because I know it will be a wonderful dining experience.“

“I love their hot dogs but I encountered a problem with one of their trucks on alameda 😔 the beans were hard and they messed up my hot dog 🌭 by putting everything on it when i asked for it specifically with no onions and no relish 😢“

“The Remcon store in El Paso is the OG and it shows. The new one in Horizon city is much smaller and the atmosphere not as homey or welcoming and just Didn’t like the food quite frankly.“

“We celebrated our daughter’s graduation this weekend out on the patio and everything was excellent !!! The food was delicious, service was outstanding and the patio was fresh with air conditioning!!! Highly recommend - thank you Ivan and staff“

We highly recommend it, and will be back!“

“Friendly staff.
Free pool Monday to Sat open to 6pm & all day Sunday
HH Daily 3-7 pm

I came during March Madness on a Saturday around 5:15 pm
Received service quickly. Waitress approached me as I was racking up and very attentive and social the 2 hours I was there . She made sure I had water the duration of stay . It was moderately busy. I didn’t have food.“

“The hotel was very clean, beds were comfortable. Food in restaurant was delicious & waitress was efficient & friendly. I do think over $300 a night is outrageous. Probably look for a better deal next time. I pass through El Paso several times a year.“

“If you’re looking for something different and exotic, yet provides you the satisfaction of comfort food, Ryu’s is the place. I had a K-Dog (quarters cheese and dog) coated with ramen, potato, and hot cheetos with pineapple habanero. All I can say is, you’re missing out if you haven’t tried it. IT’S JUST F’N AWESOME…..DAWG! (Had to put in the dad joke)“

“Great service!! Robert did an excellent job and is very polite and customer oriented. He is a great asset to your business and should be commanded for a great job and outstanding service. Thank you and if I return it's because of him.“

“I have been to Mac's several times and try to get something new each time. I drive into El Paso a few times a year and I always stop by here. they make the most amazing flavors of cheesecakes. this last time I tried a new dessert which was a bourbon bread pudding. Oh man it was to die for! but I think this lost weekend I found my favorite dish. Grilled Salmon with an amazing mushroom lemon sauce on a bed of rice. its served with a refreshing and crisp spinach salad on the side. they have amazing po boys lobster mac and cheese and other favorites but this Salmon with the mushroom sauce is by far my favorite. I almost went in again for another plate before I left town lol. The people there are amazing they're friendly and attentive. 5 stars And I always recommend them to my friends and family and El Paso. they've never been disappointed! thanks Mac's for never letting me and my hungry fam down! 💕“

“Got the Texas Cheesesteak. Was very good. Also got 3 carne asada tacos to go for lunch. Waitress waited to place the tacos so they would be ready as I was leaving. Perfect timing. Very quick, accurate and professional. Music was at the perfect level. Didn't have to yell at the waitress to order food. Will be going back for sure.
Remember this is a sports bar. If thats not your thing, you wont like this.“

“Went to this Applebees this past Saturday and had a great experience. There was a gent outside offering to wash car windows for change. I offered him something to eat instead. I asked the manager (think he was the manager amd hope I do not get him in trouble) to sev him a burger with fries and a drink and put on my tab, he said no problem. About 5 min later he came by and said I +ould not see it on my bill, he would take care of it. Really appreciate the emparhy and hunanity. Left an extra tip for the gesture.“
