“There was a small line not too too busy. The ceiling was leaking from the vents that was scary. Hazardous and extremely dangerous with it without a wet floor sign. Our food was delicious and I am Glad I came back to Killeen I only wish another captain d’s would come back our way! Missing a piece of home. The young man in the purple shirt was very helpful and amazing the customer service is outstanding still and I wouldn’t change anything about the wonderful feeling of getting what I paid for #alabama“

“A beloved local tradition in Burleson, this cozy, down-home cafe is famous for generous, scratch-made Southern breakfast and lunch classics.

“We had the best experience this weekend at Bonnell’s. Long story short we don’t go out to eat because my son has a lot of food allergies and it’s not easy to accommodate them. However it was his 13th birthday so we really wanted to celebrate. The chef worked with me prior to coming in and made sure my kiddo was able to have a wonderful and safe meal to celebrate a huge milestone. All of the staff were sweet and thoughtful as well. The food is delicious and the atmosphere is warm. I’m happy to forever brag on this restaurant!“

“I just tried Johnny Chicken and Waffles for the first time on a brunch date, and I cannot rave enough about this place! We ordered the chicken and waffles, French toast, and the AMAZING mac and cheese—everything was absolutely delicious! The restaurant was clean, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the service was phenomenal. Everyone was so personable, friendly, and attentive, which made the experience even better. I genuinely left thinking, “Yep, I’m definitely coming back!” This is officially one of my new favorite brunch spots, and I’ll absolutely be a regular. If you haven’t tried Johnny Chicken and Waffles yet, GO! You won’t be disappointed!“

“Excellent little spot! Service is extraordinary and the chicken fried steak is delicious. The pinto beans are delicious as well but they need to put cornbread on the menu because beans and cornbread are a southern staple. Also, homemade pie would be a definite crowd pleaser……I would pie a slice of pie every time I go!“

“my husband found this place looking for a last minute place to eat in our anniversary since Texas de Brasil failed us with our reservation. I am so glad they failed and we found this place, best quality food , best taste, best deserts, best environment. we had a beautiful night, not completely crowded, not over charged for a piece of steak that cant be cooked right. this is our place to eat now and we cant wait to come back. also excellent servrice and did i say already best steak I've ever had?delicious.“

“I look forward to this being a regular new spot for us! Beautiful place, food and drinks were fantastic, and service felt so personalized. We went on a weekday evening so it was less busy and the perk of that was that the chef came out and greeted us and checked how we were enjoying the food. Excited to go back and try more options on the menu!“

“We hosted our rehearsal dinner at City Works Eatery and Pour House. Honestly nothing but great things from the atmosphere, the food, the drinks, and the staff. Colleen was so helpful throughout the planning process and she even came by on event day! They were flexible with us with possible rain on event day, but it all worked out perfect with the heaters on the patio. It was such a great evening thanks to the amazing team they have at City Works Clearfork! They made us feel like it was a small family dinner with hot meals and endless drinks while serving 100 of our guests. The team was professional, personable, and kind. I couldn't recommend more. We had a blast.“

“Stoped by for a healthy meal for lunch and it was delicious“

“35th Anniversary dinner gifted to us from our kids. The food is absolutely top tier. Service was amazing from walking in the door to walking out the door. The hostess did not miss beat. Drink were refilled before we could even finish the glass. I would recommend splitting the 20 oz ribeye steak. I would highly recommend this restaurant in downtown Fort Worth to anyone.“

“I bring my son and granddaughter up there on occasion, and the food is always excellent. Service by Courtney is always top notch, and we enjoy going up to see her!“

“Just left and will never go back. Ordered a burger and didn’t realize until I had eaten several bites that a large portion in the middle was totally raw. Not just undercooked a little - totally raw. I chose to not send it back as I had consumed some of it but saved it to show the waitress. When she told the manager, the manager blamed her ( the waitress). I then spoke to the manager and she would not listen and kept insisting it was the waitress who was responsible. She talked right over me, and was downright nasty.She admitted she didn’t bother to look at the burger. No customer service skills whatsoever. I was not asking for anything just explaining it was not the waitress’ fault that the kitchen didn’t cook the burger. The waitress was very concerned and apologized. She did an excellent job of customer service.“

“Great home style food and a casual diner atmosphere. Daily specials, reduced price breakfast and lunch specials are available, too (saving money is always good!)
We had the beef tips and noodles from the reduced price lunch menu ($9.95) and oh my goodness, it was so tasty! The portion size was very generous, in fact we both had to request to go contairs! The waitress was so helpful and prompt! They also have cookies, pies, and pastries to tempt you on the way out. We couldn't leave without a slice of coconut pie, a slice of buttermilk pie, and a couple of huge cranberry orange scones. We will be back!“

“FOOD WAS AMAZING! Super fresh. Tasted like real homemade food! The server was super attentive/awesome, kept our drinks filled constantly, checked in the perfect amount of times. Every employee there was sooo nice. Felt really cozy and just the perfect place to feel comfortable and eat good food. The prices are actually very nice considering the portions. If you’re having a hard time choosing where to eat, THIS is the place to choose. Definitely my new favorite restaurant in allllll of fortworth! I just have to reiterate that the food was amazing and service was phenomenal!“

“We reserved a party room for a Bridesmaid's luncheon last Friday. Reata does an A+ job. Working with McKynlea was a delight. We chose a limited menu, including several delicious gluten free choices. She sent me a sample menu ahead of time for my approval. Carae was our waitress and did an exceptional job. We also had a table in the main dining room for half a dozen of the husbands who insisted on coming to have the special tamales, and bison burgers! They too loved the food and had excellent service. I cannot recommend Reata more highly. We live several hours from Ft Worth, and are looking for more opportunities to come again! Thank you Reata staff for adding to our wedding celebration. We are grateful.“

“Alexis is an outstanding waitress! Her warm friendly manner and efficient customer service makes her a great waitress. Give this girl a raise!!“

“We were lucky enough to get a table for 3 at 6:30 on a Saturday night. I believe our servers name was Rudy (sorry if that's not right). Anyways he was great explaining the menu, his favorites, and popular dishes. We went with the gargonzola fries and the apricot brie with pita. Loved the fries but wish the cheese was spread out more over the fries. Only half the fries were topped which led to half just being normal waffle fries. Great taste and idea but execution could be a little better. I did not care for the brie but I'm not a fan of that. The rest of the table loved it so I would have to day it was good. Lol. I had the poblano burger for my entree. They cook it well done so I was worried but it was juicy and tasted very good. It was actually better than I expected! It also was served with fries. Washed it all down with the German pilsner which was really good and refreshing as well. Service was top notch and the pace of the meal was perfect. I highly recommend this place and I look forward to going back to try other dishes.“

“Denton location is amazing!! Food, service and atmosphere are phenomenal!! A new family favorite!! When they say the food is fresh, they mean it!! Best place we've eaten in a long time!“

“We hosted our Partner Appreciation Event at Clay Pigeon yesterday and had the most amazing experience. Leslie was a dream to work with and did everything to ensure a smooth event. She checked in periodically throughout the evening and was swift to take care of anything we needed. The waitstaff was incredibly professional, kind, over the top accommodating. Lastly, the food was delicious, as always. Thank you, Clay Pigeon team!“

“I’ve been meeting friends there for several months to share good times, good food, and good games. They have a lovely assortment of both foods and games. Their little pot pies are unique and delicious! Plan to meet up with some of your friends soon. It’s a great place to hang out. It would be a great date night, too!“

“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....“

“Great atmosphere 🥰 Staff is wonderful to their customers 😀“

“Great drinks and finger food. Even better service from the staff.“

“The food here and service was AMAZING!!!! The hamburger, fries, and onion rings were exceptional and they truly took time to make it from scratch. We also ate breakfast there and they took the same time and care to prepare it. It was like and the value you would have at a fancy breakfast restaurant. Please compliment the staff here for all the hard work they do“

“First time here today! Great staff, food and lanes. We will be back!“

“1st time eating there. Inside nice atmosphere! We had the burgers and excellent tasting meat. Handmade.. fries and onion rings good. Our 2nd time we picked up philly cheese steaks to go… oh my.. disappointed in those.. it was all cheese, onions, peppers and mushrooms… barely any meat.. cause it was so thinly sliced!! Growing up in Philadelphia, PA… I was very disappointed in their cheese steaks!!! They need more meat! We definitely wouldn’t recommend those! Stick with their burgers!!!“

“I will be getting a burger next time.But I had the philly cheesesteak. I must say i've had them from plenty of places.And this is the best one i've ever had!“
