“1st Kid had a coney dog and raved. He doesn't like anything. 2nd kid had kids dog (more like ketchup with a side of hotdog... weirdo) wife had the French dip, it was her 1st time and she enjoyed it, nothing negative from her. I had the Philly steak and I must say, it's about as close as you're going to get way down here. But the coleslaw!! That was the winner for me. All in all, great experience, friendly staff.“

“Lonnie’s has good food, but they put the ice scoop back into the ice machine, after touching it with multiple bare hands, so avoid getting any in your drinks. They also converted the Women’s restaurant into a coed one. I went to use it and the toilet seat was left up. Disgusting.“

“I am so grateful they offer vegetarian (vegan) tacos. I suggest adding avocado to your order! It's So yummy!“

“Update Feb 3 2025
We returned, but the food and service were not as good this time. The ribeye, ordered well done, was still rare in the middle. After it was sent back, some parts were still not well done, but most was edible. It was also not as flavorful or tender as it had been on our previous visit. We were not asked if we enjoyed our meal, and we didn't have a chance to inquire about the rewards program until after we had paid. Overall, the service was not as good and the meal did not feel worth the price.

Tried this place for the first time on Saturday end it was great.
We walked in, and were greeted by Andrew, he was very helpful and gave us different recommendations for our meal. Everything that we got had great flavor. We ordered the Barbacoa donuts, the marinated ribeye, Butternut squash, sautéed mushrooms, and the beignets for dessert. Definitely a great place for a date night.“

“I had been craving chicken fried steak and was not interested in going to Luby's for a chicken fried steak full of nerves, so I went to Longhorn Steakhouse for the Nolan Ryan chicken fried steak. First, they no longer call it that on the menu, but I still ordered it. As soon as I sat down, the waiter took my drink order. He came back with the bread and my sweet tea, took my order, and left. I looked for my silverware and realized he never gave me my utensils, so i used my hands to pull the bread apart, no biggie. He came back with my appetizer and left, and still no utensils, so I'm picking the shrimp with my fingers. My main course came out, and the server asked if i needed anything else, and I responded, "My silverware, please." I finished my chicken fried steak, which was decent but won't order anymore. I'll stick with a ribeye and remember to order TWO drinks, being that they forget about you after you get your meal and trying not to choke on your food.“

“Cheeseburger special for $9 was delicious. Disappointed the blondie dessert was not part of the $1 special even though it's in the menu next to the brownie. Service was friendly, not fast, good thing we were not in a time crunch. The music could have been better.“

“I have loved the Chicken Potpie since coming to Cheddars to eat. I've had at least 6 of them and then the one I had last summer had no chicken in it. I said nothing to anyone, just deciding to not come back for a while. We stopped there with two other couples today and I thought...try it again. Before they used to have lots of white chicken chunks, this one today had very few pieces of chicken. What has happened to it?“

“Great service and amazing happy hours !“

“Everything about Text Roadhouse!“

“Tejano Grill is my choice for breakfast lunch and dinner great food great service overall a awesome place to eat I still haven’t found another place that can compete with them and great prices too ask for Lupe as your server he will not disappoint at all“

“Jay our waitress was a breath of fresh air after being rudely ignored at another establishment next door. We went last minute and it was not by accident. Best service, food, and atmosphere! Jay was very attentive and fast! Made our evening! ❤️“

“The bacon cheese burger exceeded expectations with its thick and juicy beef patty, fluffy bun, perfectly seasoned fries, and fresh veggies. Highly recommended for food lovers.“

“Great watering hole find in the Harlingen area. The atmosphere and service are both excellent. You will have plenty of options for adult beverages and some tasty options from the kitchen. Their onion rings were a bit on the wimpy side but other options were outstanding.“

“They were very nice and sweet - they were pretty busy for 5:30-6:30 in the morning and we ordered a lot of meals (about 4). They said sorry for the wait and brought out a complimentary orange juice for us. Superb service and very hot food! All condiments and utensils were accounted for too!“
