“I am here today because I was given a coupon for a free combo as part of teacher appreciation week. The coupon had no expiration date and it was given to me two weeks ago. I had no trouble using the coupon and they didn't question me as to where I got it. I asked if I could modify my order by value-sizing it and if I could just pa the difference. I was allowed to do that. The coupon was for a 1/4 lb burger with medium fries and medium drink. I upgraded my fries and drink. I also added bacon and cheese to my order. The server told me in advanced that doing that would be extra and asked if I was ok with that. I expected to pay extra, so I was fine. This being a drive-thru main experience, the order was placed and in less than five minutes, I was ready to go with a great tasting burger. Great experience overall.“

“This is one of our favorite restaurants in McAllen! Great atmosphere, delicious food, and excellent service. Our favorite waiter Erika is always attentive, knows what we like and how we like our food, never have an empty glass of our drink. Always checking up and gives us different options for our meal, thank you!“

“Yadira good service.Yino gave us great service a day later!Another time we had Andrea or Andy!All three have been delightful servers!We are eating often at Denny’s in Mission, TX as Winter Texans! Will soon head up North and Denny’s along the way!Parking: 30 spaces??“

“Love this place! Our waitress Jasmine was pleasant and attentive. Stopped by the bar & ordered my favorite “shot” of Eddie’s Vodka Ruby red with a grapefruit spritzer and as always the bartender Celeste gets my request just right, love her!!“

“Well it's Denny's you know what you're going to getI had the new cream cheese and strawberry French toastWhich was fantastic alongside a couple of eggs and hash browns which were basic but good.Service was a little slow but I wasn't in a hurry and it was a little busy.So I have nothing to complain about.I will very likely go back for the same thing as I will be in the area for a while.I don't know if I would ever suggest Dennys to anyone but I would definitely recommend trying the strawberry cream cheese French toast.“

“Came for a quick breakfast had the pleasure of being assisted by Alejandra (Ale). She took our order quickly and was friendly and polite the whole time. Food was excellent, order was done exactly as we requested and our glasses were never empty. Ale was outstanding and definitely on her game, especially considering the restaurant was packed! Definitely 5 stars!“

“Walked over to this restaurant from our nearby hotel and glad we did! Everything was more than we expected! Even had a pianist providing background music for our experience. Crab cakes best we’ve ever had, scallops melted in our mouth and the orange roughy baked in clay was so full of flavour. Waitress was so friendly and informative after we told her this was our first time!“

“Their food and service is top tier. Only reason it’s a 4 star and not a 5 star is that my favorite item was removed. Their beyond burger was the best and I was glad to finally have a nice place to eat out that offered a great option for me. I know they replaced it with a veggie burger but it’s not even close to being what the beyond burger was. I’ve tried some of the other vegan options but nothing could compare. Another thing is that at peak time between all the people and the loud music it can be very hard to hear both the people you’re with and the server. However that being said food was always fantastic and service was amazing.Vegetarian options: They have a lot to offer for vegetarians and have clearly labeled menus for restrictions. Same for vegans we are capable of having a good meal here. I will say however their normal buns are not vegan so you have to sub out for their gluten free one which is not the greatest so I’d recommend bringing a bun if you want a better bun option.Dietary restrictions: They have a very detailed area warning of common allergens and have separate menus for vegans/vegetarians/gluten free people.“

“We came for my Dad's birthday ? we had a blast can't complain Famous Amos, had the most patience with our funny family thank you Amos and staff sorry we took forever at your place but we felt at home thank you for making my Dad's birthday memorable.“

“Had a great experience here at Eddy’s & what made it even better was having Amarantha as our waitress! She has a friendly demeanor and was always with a positive attitude. When we come back we hope you take care of us again. Other than that, place is very clean and music was on point!“

“Absolutely marvelous food. Everything we ate was cooked to perfection! The staff were very respectful, polite, and tentative. Our cocktails were even up to a Grade A standard. I grew up in a family of wonderful cooks, and this place takes the cake for one of the best restaurants in all of the valley!“

“Good place for a good burger....has the "Sunshine" burger....it is a sloppy one to eat ...but tasty....adult beverages (draft) were nice and cold. Good spot for large group of people to get together. The screaming toddlers in the bar area were a slight pain in the 6 O'clock....once they left it was better.“

“Nice little spot in San Juan, TX serving a variety of fresh burgers, fried seafood and fried chicken. The food is made to order so it is always fresh and delicious. The service is friendly and welcoming all the time. My go to is the 4 chicken tender plate with BBQ sauce.Parking: Very few parking spaces but you can park on the street if all the spaces are taken.“

“The food variety is nice enough, however; wait staff was easily overwhelmed with hardly a large amount of customers.Kid-friendliness: Not a child-friendly establishment. Too many fragile little trinkets for children to get their hands on.Wheelchair accessibility: Pretty tight seating and restrooms. Has handicapped parking, but accommodations will have to be made.“

“Love love the atmosphere, and how attentive the waiter was with us especially with my mom since she was the Birthday gal….they recommended the best dishes on the house absolutely everything was super delicious….price for everything was decent…Ruben was our waiter and his “

“My first Texas BBQ experience.... not disappointed.It was a road trip so I was very eager and hungry, did my research for something near McAllen and Rudy's came top of the list.Very nice place, very nice service. Brisket sandwich was goooood, hope to come back soon.“

“Great food, service and atmosphere. I notice the manager is on top of the customers and friendly- keep it up. Bobby the server is great and on top of our orders/needs as well as the whole staff. Over all, great establishment! ??Keep up the great work guys ??“

“/24Went to go eat with my brother Josh and my favorite sis-n-law at Chedders scratch kitchen. Service was good and food was great. I recommend this place will go again. Even though there was a long line we got seated in about 30minsFood was good the server was really good“

“I’m originally from California and I came down to Texas with the family and we decided to go to main event and we had a really great time the food was great the time we had there was awesome we also had this very amazing server named Brandon he’s was very nice, considerate, and took great care of our table just wanted to say he’s a really great kid.“

“My husband and I were in town visiting family & we stumbled across House.Wine.Bistro in looking for a place to have a quick drink …. And man, we are SO happy we did!Chantelle & Ethan at the bar were so welcoming and made the absolute best recommendations for both food & drinks. We had such a great time on our first visit, we quite literally returned less than 24 hours later for our Saturday night dinner!The Owner & Chef, Larry, came out and introduced himself - you can tell he & his team take great pride in everything they do… truly the embodying the definition of hospitality.We cannot recommend enough House. Wine. Bistro.On top of the amazing hospitality, the homemade pasta is quite simply something you dream of —If you are in the area, it is a definite “must” — we already cannot wait to visit again (:“

“I had dinner here with a large group of veterans, which can quickly become hectic. All the entrees ordered were great and had plenty of flavor. My steak was perfectly cooked and the flavor was outstanding. I didn't get the servers' names but they were awesome and kept checking on us. To end the night we had an assortment of desserts. My favorite was the carrot cake, but others raved about the cheesecake and chocolate cake. I will definitely be back.“

“My friend and I came to Bodega today to try out their brunch menu. They’ve changed their selections since the last time I came, and everything they offered looked so good, it was hard to choose! Luckily, our server, Nathan, gave excellent recommendations for apps, meals, and even dessert! We started with some of their oysters, enjoyed our meals, and finished off with the crème brûlée for dessert. I can’t stress how delicious that crème brûlée was; I’m already craving it again! We had an absolutely wonderful time, everything was perfection! :)“

“Went to go watch the final football games of the season and had a great time. I had the triple dipper as it comes in the picture, a dos xx and a molten lava chocolate cake to finish it off. Service was good, food was good and they had game playing over the speakers instead of music so ppl could hear what was going on in the game.“

“Our server was outstanding ? ? ? ? ?Maia made our experience so much fun,she went out of her way to make us feel welcome she had all these food recommendations for my husband and I to try. My son ended up trying the Mac&cheese as per her suggestion, and my son loved it. She's so energetic and social we didn't want to leave..Kudos to you, Maia, hope to have the pleasure of getting sat on one of your tables on our next visit to this location.“

“PATSY AT THE BAR IS THE BEST! Well Patsy and Jackie…. Today Patsy was at the bar and service is always on point, fast, super cold drinks and very attentive bartenders. Been coming since this place opened, Chili’s has never been a place for me but this one here really exceeds my expectations, thank you. I will continue to come here for drinks and food.“

“Variety fresh cooked food is impressive. The dining room is cafeteria style. So that is the atmosphere rating. Table service was fantastic, with wait staff buzzing by every few minutes with refills. Locals love this place .Parking: Plenty of parking, though this location is in hard to drive thru location. Speed bumps and is behind burger king.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, plenty of flat level parking is easy access for wheelchairs. Seating at tables is fine too.“

“I loved this place to eat so quickly, the chicken is super crunchy, the potatoes are delicious and very hot, the lemonade is very good too and the bread that they put butter on is exquisite... they also give you a coleslaw that makes the dish a perfect combination.“

“The First Ihop in Reynosa has very good quality... In general, its service is quite good, the guys who serve are very attentive and offer options... The atmosphere is quite normal, but to be expected for a restaurant of this type... Their food is good and the dishes have quite a variety and good flavor... It is generally a good place to have lunch alone or with family... The children will have fun both in the play area and with their children's dishes, quite some original.“

“I absolutely love their Lunch Menu. It has the right mix of tasty dishes at very affordable prices.Whatever you choose to eat goes down well with an Ice-Cold glass of draft beer, my preferences are either a Blue Moon Belgian Ale or local brewer's 5x5 Vaquero.Yes, you can be plain and boring by choosing Budweiser, Bud Light or Miller Lite. Why even go to a Bar and Grill if you are not willing to try something different every now and then?“

“I try to come to the jazz event stuff. It's really nice listening to the live music in the outside area. The burgers we had here were great. The chips with cheese on the other hand weren't that good. I wouldn't get those again for sure. Last time we were here I got a fly in my beer still full glass. And the manager said that if I wanted a new one, that I would have to pay for a new one. Which dulled the experience a bit not gonna lie but the server was so nice for giving us coasters to cover the drinks after that. That was pretty sweet of her. Her service was the best.“

“We booked their Elote Stand for our wedding and it was one of the best decisions we made! Our guests LOVED it and the corn was delicious! So many neat toppings to choose from and friendly service from the team that served the cups. It was a lot of our guests first experience with elote and the team provided recommendations for our guests as they created their cups! Great service, clean practices and very cute stand with fair pricing! Smooth experience from booking to the end of the event. Can’t wait to use them again in the future!“

“The restaurant is very lovely and well lit on the inside. The menu is diverse. The chicken was amazing, however the sides were mid. I got the half chicken plate with Mexican street corn and Mac & Cheese. Service was quick and the sweet tea and lemonade were very pleasant tasting. 8/10“

“first time here, service here is very attentive which is amazing.however the men's bathroom was a little underwhelming, water everywhere on the floor not to mention no soap either.prices are fair and worth, definitely will come back for future visits.“

“Black Bear (Vegas and Utah) has been our go-to family spot for the longest. It was the best surprise to find one here in McAllen! Feels like home.Our usuals: tri-tip dip, fish n chips, burger, biscuits & gravy, chocolate cream pie, bread pudding, and the awesome kids menu. But really, everything is great. Classic diner fare.Kid-friendliness: Awesome kids menu that includes dessert“

“I have been eating at this restaurant since 2008. Always great food, great service and great prices. You definitely get your bang for your buck. I always bring family that haven’t tried it and they end up always going back too! Thanks for always being consistent in great food!“

“This is the place to be on Sunday nights in the valley. No other establishments across the valley can rival it. It's beyond lively with the amount of patrons. However, majority don't show up till midnight or slightly later. Meanwhile, the service at the bar is hit or miss. Possible favoritism with certain people but that is also any bar. Like it's packed, but not Friday/Saturday slammed. Additionally, they include a 20% gratitude. Maybe fellow patrons were being cheap? Idk. For the record, I have yet to eat there. Does have a decent amount of high tables and some booths however.“

“Been coming here for the past few months and the service is expectionally well and consistent. The waffle fries are the best, also crispy and fresh. Destiny has been my favorite bartender by a long shot. I don't recommend going for lunch during the week because multiple times I've noticed they only have one server and it can get packed and be overwhelming for her.“

“I came here today with my family, everything was super good and the service is top tier! Michelle was our waitress and she was super friendly and welcoming and made sure our order was exactly what we wanted. The General Manager Mathew was so nice and had such an amazing personality. He made sure everything was to our liking! Also shoutout to the cook Jose, everything was awesome! Will definitely come again! My personal favorite was the Chicken Sandwich but my family and I’s overall favorite was the Pizza My Heart!“

“Jammed with people, the taste of the food leaves a lot to be desired, the waiter was super attentive, but the service was slow, the coffee was average. I left this place somewhat disappointed, it promised more. Delicious hashbrown dad and hotcakes“

“We went here to watch the Golf Masters tournament on TV. It wasn't showing when we arrived but two of the employees got it going on one of the TV sets and gave us stable right in front of it. We had a great lunch and s few beers with no hassles from staff for the 2.5 hours we were there.“

“Always a great place to dine at or for ordering food to go! The portions are plentiful and the owner is super nice. I have had many events there and they were always incredible, the staff were super kind and attentive. The chicken parmigiana and fettuccine alfredo are my favorite of all time. If they were closer to my house I’d order them all the time!!“

“The food was delicious but I better took it home because most of the staff is zero professional. This girl Cinthia, I think her name was, was playing and flirting with other employees (badly spoken). I had to repeat my order 3 times because this girl was not paying attention, she was more attentive to what was happening behind. I swear I was going to complain but the manager of this location was also a participant in the probe and what good was it. Zero professional ethics are followed by the staff, that's why they do that. I feel like they even make comments about customers and make fun of them. I will not go to this location again. ALWAYS NATURALLY CHECK WHO THEY HIRE OR TRAIN THEM TO PROVIDE CUSTOMER SERVICE.“

“I waited 2 yrs to go to this restaurant, and finally we went for my husbands birthday, which I mentioned on the reservation.The meals were just ok, and totally over priced. The wine was 20$ a glass.No bread prior to the meal, no card indicating it was bday, no house salad, so I will continue going to the Patio, which has as good, if not better food, wine is affordable.they acknowledge the event.Very disappointed. Also, if you are a high end restaurant perhaps you could have more choices of rum besides white, and dark.Vegetarian options: The beans were so hard that the dull steak knives hardly would cut them.“

“All the food was great, I felt a little overwhelmed, being my first time there and not sure of what I wanted, only because it felt rushed when ordering, not that it would stop me from coming back because our food was ready really fast and was all very good! So many choices! So little time!“

“Came with my lovely wife to enjoy some good food and drinks, the Senior Manager Jesus Gonzalez demonstrated AWESOME customer service and wonderful presentation with his attitude! Great staff and fantastic service! Keep up the great work!!!Parking: Great location!“

“For a place where it is specialized in burgers, their burgers should be superb. At least, that is my expectation. Their burgers are OK, their service has considerable room for improvement, and the atmosphere is OK, could be better, a lot of potential“

“The food was great, music was decent and the place seemed a bit slow but still the service was still good and the food well all I can say is try it out and have a taste of what may be your next favorite meal mine are the four lunches with green “

“A group of friends and myself visited IHOP about 9:30pm. It was about 12 in our party. The seating was not an issue, and we were seated comfortably by our waiter. Everyone ordered and our drinks and food came out hot and at a reasonable time. I especially want to commend this particular IHOP for their very clean and fresh smelling men's restroom. A clean restroom says alot about the restaurant. Kudos!I do have one suggestion that I think needs to be noted. When there is a large group, the waiter or waitress should do their best to separate grouped tickets. Placing all item on one ticket can pose a problem, especiallywhenthecustomerask fir everything to be put on separate tickets. In my experience visit, I was the last to pay for my meal. The employee noticed that there was still a meal that wasn't paid. I didn't have to pay it nor was I obligated to do so, but I did so because these were my friends, I know it wasn't done intentionally and I didn't want IHOP to get shorted either. Clearly it was an oversight, but this is what happens when everything is put on one ticket, not all the time but it can happen, someone gets stuck paying for something they didn't order. Good beginning experience but a sour ending.“

“It’s a freaking great time every time I’ve gone.. staff is friendly, but sometimes super busy. The food is good a bit pricey but worth it.. the game options are good and they always ask if you need left handed clubs.. I don’t drink so can’t offer an option..“
