“The food and service is always amazing!“

“I've always enjoyed the food but its only different types of chicken salad, how hard can it be? Really helps when you can taste all the components like pecans or basil or mint or bacon. I've only ever had it pre-ordered to-go, so I've not really experienced their service or their atmosphere.“

“On 11/3 at 7:30 pm I not only received my food which was tasty but honestly some of the best customer service I have received in quite some time. Thanks for taking great care of me to the two guys working the front and making my first experience a good one!“

“Went at 12:30pm on a Sunday and Brunch was SO good. Great decor & ambience. Food was so good! Service from Colby was wonderful! Angie is great too! Out of town friends from Australia LOVED it!“

“I absolutely loooove this place!
Been going here for yearsss.
While there may be a lot of options in the area, there are incredibly few as good as this spot. It doesn’t matter if you’re looking for food, drank, or vibe - THIS is the spot you looking for!
I’m not from New Orleans, but I visit several times a year and it is my favorite place to go!
I would say that SCDF is quite authentic. They have karaoke nights, live music, and other events. They even had Eggnog daiquiri flavor during the most recent holiday season.
Come check it outttt!

Bonus: this is the original location“

“Mat our server was absolutely exceptional! He made our lunch a true memory. Thank you Mateo!“

With the quantity and quality of the food offered, the prompt service of our servers, and the top tier ambience, this is an event I would love to bring my who family to given the opportunity.“

“Customer service!! They know how to treat their customers“

“Amazing service! Fast friendly clean and wonderful service. We came in right as they were closing. Y’all have to understand we had been in line at the Fort Worth stock show for nine hours. They kept the registers open. They took a massive order. They got it all right my kids who are exhausted are now going to bed full and happy and mom and dad are blown away by the amazing service. If you’re ever in Fort Worth check this place out you won’t go wrong.“

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

“Great place to talk business in an intimate setting after a long day! The staff was wonderful and I cannot rave enough about the manager, David, who took the time to talk to us and give us feedback on our group (as we were filling the bar all night, every night due to a business trip). He was very informative and respectful, even when going around to each individual group to respecfully and kindly tell us that the bar is closed and that we needed to go. 10/10 will be coming back when in town!!“

“Food good & inexpensive. Staff very friendly.“

“One of the best places I’ve ever ordered from. The food is so good.“

“Leslie and Jonah provided a wonderful experience during my first visit to cheddars since I was a child. The fond memories of my childhood were instantly brought back by the warm and charming nature of my server and the manager. I’d love to see them both succeed at the Cheddar’s location in Alliance!“

“First time there, I’ll Be Back!!!“

“I've been employed with Nana's since June and it's been nothing but joy. I've been in the service industry since 2011 and I can't think of a better place that has treated me like FAMILY!! The team working here is the FAMILY!! The customers who dine at Nana's Kitchen are the FAMILY!! The atmosphere is energetic (live DJ on weekends) and the food will keep you coming back for more. I am absolutely hooked on the black eye peas, greens, pinto beans and Mac and cheese!! Don't get me started on the fried food items 🙌🙌🔥🔥 Catfish filets are my favorite. The fried pork chops, wings, and juicy tenders are all amazing!! Cakes and pies are delicious. On Sundays Nana's Kitchen serves her special menu of Oxtails over rice, Smothered turkey wings, Beef tips over rice. Chicken spaghetti is also a fan favorite!! When you come to Nana's Kitchen you'll leave with a belly full of food and a heart full of love!! But hey, don't believe me...come see for yourself. We're open Wednesday -Sunday. See ya there!! ❤️“

“Delicious food and incredible service. Seriously, the folks working here are the nicest! We tried the cranberry chicken salad and a spicy jalapeño one and both were delicious. Clean plates! This was our first time ever trying this place and I definitely plan to be back.“

“Chicken is cooked and seasoned perfectly..crazy that we have so many chicken places in wylie and not a single one is any good(even the cowboy chicken that they are in lol)..until now! Ordered for 6 people and everything was perfect..the bread u see the chicken to keep them from getting soggy is a classy touch…we will be back for sure!“

“Went to the location by Texas Motor Speedway and Izzy was our waitress. Not only is she beautiful but she did a great job. She was helpful, polite, and made sure we were taken care of the entire time we were there.“

“Who ever cooked our order to be ready at 9:24 PM on March 28th did an outstanding job tonight. My steak and sautéed onions done medium, broccoli and cheese, and green beans were on point. Along with my partners monte Cristo and my mother’s pecan salad. Even the butter biscuits were just delicious. Kudos to the team tonight.“

“good sales great stuff helpful staff fun shopping“

“I've been a customer since 99' over in North Fort Worth. Always great stuff. Maybe once at the one on Division in Arlington the chicken was too dry, but now I try the one in Arlington off Pioneer and I'm just so happy with their overall service.“

“If you’re looking for fresh & hot wicked wings, mouth watering Mac & cheese , delicious mashed potatoes with country gravy and a to die for dinner roll then visit 4341 W.Risinger Rd. where Elizabeth is the store manager and every employee under her leadership is always customer friendly with excellent service. The restaurant is what we all crave for when it comes to cleanliness. For the past three years it’s a pleasure having you in the community, thank you, Elizabeth 🥰🥰“

“My family has eaten at this establishment for years now. We do not eat there frequently since we live about 30-40 minutes away but it's my son's favorite chicken place so we go as often as we can. The food is always great, I cannot think of a single time we've ever had an issue. The staff has always been kind and attentive. However, today was a unique day. My son asked to eat there for his 6th birthday. Some hours have passed so I hope I am not misremembering the name but Caleb greeted us at the door and provided the best service I've ever had at a fast food establishment from beginning to end. As someone who has worked in the food industry and knows the workers typically do not get the recognition they deserve, I felt it was important to notify his manager and write this review. We are very grateful to Caleb and to Slims for a wonderful experience and my son especially enjoyed his birthday brownie!“
