“"Pearlie’s Southern Kitchen is a culinary masterpiece, bridging generations with recipes deeply rooted in Southern traditions. I was introduced to their amazing dishes at the State Fair of Texas, and it was a flavor journey back to authentic Southern cooking. Kerston Crawford-Thorns' passion and dedication to continuing the lessons from her beloved grandmother, Pearlie Mae, shine through every dish. The mouthwatering Deep-Fried Collard Greens and the show-stopping six-cheese macaroni are testament to this. With an exciting future ahead, including a Mobile Food Trailer, I'm eager to follow their journey on social media. Kudos to a brand that keeps family and heritage at its core!"“

“Today we went at lunchtime. Every time I go to Cowboys Chicken I get the original enchiladas w/twice baked potato. The original enchiladas were excellent. The green sauce they put on them is so good I used what's left for the twice baked potato. My wife got the lunch special, she said it was "just okay". Both are pictured.

My wife really likes the variety of non-carbonated drink options. Today she had the cucumber-jalapeno lemonade and really enjoyed it and said it was spicy. These too, are pictured.

Parking is always a little challenging during lunch, there is always a spot, just a lot of traffic in the parking lot. I also dinged the atmosphere in this review because the line to order goes through the dining area and today was all the way to the door. I guess it's the price of success.

Seating was available but very limited. I'm confident a party of four could have found a place to sit, with a little patience, but any parties larger would have most likely have found it challenging. We've been here on weekends for lunch and there has been plenty of space available, I think this is a weekday lunch issue. Tables were cleaned quickly, so they opened up as soon as someone left, and the food was also delivered to the table quickly. Good service.

Parking: Parking is always available, but the parking lot is busy during peak hours.“

“Cheddar’s Scratch Kitchen: Good Food, Questionable Entrance Vibes

Walking into Cheddar’s Scratch Kitchen feels a little like passing through airport security—except instead of metal detectors, you’re greeted by the unmistakable aroma of weed lingering at the front door. Maybe it’s the kitchen staff, maybe it’s the customers pregaming for their meal, but one thing’s for sure—appetites are being enhanced before anyone even sits down.

Once inside, though, it’s all smooth sailing. The food is solid, the portions are generous, and the croissants? Straight-up addictive. Whether you’re here for a steak, some comfort food, or just to people-watch the highly interesting crowd, Cheddar’s delivers. Just be prepared—your meal might come with a side of secondhand smoke before you even reach your table.“

I would not recommend this location!“

“Disappointed (12 reasons):
Food was good, and employees were good.
Why am I disappointed?
Forcing us to use their monitor/computer to order. No choice.
Issues:
1) how many people touch that screen?
2) how often, if ever, do they clean that screen?
3) you eat chicken sandwich and french fries with...your hands.
4) order screen does not enable QR code scanning for rewards.
5) order screen forces you to enter email and phone #. People are all behind you staring at your private information.
6) difficult to even find what email address you used to sign-up.
7) difficult to find what phone # was used to sign-up.
8) it's as if they really do not want us to participate in the rewards program.
9) It is not convenient, takes too long and makes for a frustrating experience.
10) I use technology everyday. Just because you CAN does not mean you should.
11) we prefer to support people and jobs.
12) The only way humanless ordering will make sense is if it is completely touch-free, private. Audio would be a start.“

The mac & cheese was very creamy and decorative. The chicken sandwich was crispy not over season Not under season, but just right. The spiciness of the Cajun cayenne seasoning wasn’t over powering to the pallet..“
