“👍👍👍👍👍Pete’s Cafe has officially become my go-to breakfast spot in the Carrollton/Farmers Branch area. The vibe is classic diner comfort, the staff is friendly and quick, and every plate that comes out of the kitchen looks like real home cooking.​ The breakfast here is outstanding. From Migas and corn tortillas to hearty omelets and toasted English Muffins, everything is hot, fresh, and generously portioned. Coffee is constantly topped off, and prices are very reasonable, which makes it easy to turn “let’s grab a quick bite” into a regular habit.​ If you’re in or around Carrollton and want a great sit-down breakfast instead of another chain, Pete’s Cafe is a must-try.“

“Visited this restaurant for lunch and this time I brought the family and we tried different foods from the menu. The chicken and beef fajitas were so delicious and well seasoned, the chicken fried steak was cooked to perfection and the gravy made it a heavenly food item. The sweet tea satisfied my thirst from an outside temperature of 98 degree farenheit. Our waitress was so friendly and ready to serve our children as well, as our children enjoyed their cheeseburgers and chicken tenders meals. She made our experience a great one and highly recommend this restaurant for any occasion.“

It's ran by the same cute couple it has been for almost a decade!! Everything is delightful! True comfort food!! Come by and you won't regret it!!!!!“

“I had the 10pc bites meal. The fries were good and fresh and the chicken bites were good with the slim sauce. I also had gravy as a sauce but it tasted watered down. Chicken could use a little seaoning so it didnt need sauce so much. Was still good tho and good size portions.“

“Our family of 6 went. Po Boys were huge and tasty. Nice French fries. Red beans and rice was excellent, but not a lot of meat visible. Nice side salads and kids portion was great. Pork chops were disappointing. No Jambalaya or some other Cajun favorites. Music was just rock and pop, not Cajun or even close to Cajun, which was a missed opportunity at adding some southern ambiance. Nice decor, otherwise.“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Brew City Kitchen & Cocktails with a large group of at least 15+ people. Marissa was our waitress, and she did an outstanding job! She was incredibly nice and handled everything with attentiveness and professionalism. Despite the size of our group, she ensured that everyone was well taken care of and that our orders were accurate and timely. Marissa's exceptional service made our dining experience truly enjoyable. Highly recommend!“

“ohh i loved krispy krunchy chicken its tender chicken burger do try that“

“Kids eat for $1.99 on Sundays. The chicken tenders are good the Fry's are good. The hot wings are good. Also the chicken and waffles are delicious and the combo is 5.99 on Wednesday. My kids like the food here. What I don't like is you have to ask for key to use the restroom. They use to have tvs playing the sports shows and now they are always off. They use to have jazz music playing and now they don't. At the other slims chickens the tvs work and the restrooms are unlocked.“

“I love the food. The vegetables are the best. I love cornbread with my veggies but the cornbread muffins have absolutely too many/much Eggs.“

“Blues, and a plate of Caddo is something I never knew I needed.

I always walk past because it looked plain on the outside. I came in to a laid back counter and kitchen that felt more homey than restaraunty. It wasn’t too busy when I arrived. 2 or 3 couples and a few eating alone. Just the sound of guitar and harmonica playing through the speakers.

I ordered the tilapia and shrimp caddo plate with a sweet tea for $25. Grooved with the sound of the blues down to my seat in a comfy corner between a wall of Billy bass and a wall of water skis.

First smell and first bite of the food brought me straight to New Orleans and back. Im so thankful I can share this experience.

Great for dates or family outings to lunch/ supper.“

“Today we had Sunday lunch at Cheddars with my daughter and son-in-law. The food was just so, so. However, our waitress, Lauren, was so sweet, smiled with her eyes. And very informative when we asked questions. Cheddar's needs to keep a personable waitress such as Lauren.“

“One of my Go To comfort food places while traveling as I know I will get a good meal. Have been eating at Cracker Barrel locations since 1977 and have purchased items in the store from clothing to snacks to gifts.“
