Our server, Trevor, was exceptional. He was friendly, attentive, and carried a bright, genuine smile throughout the night. He made sure we were comfortable and checked in regularly without being intrusive - the perfect balance. I have celiac, and he was incredibly knowledgeable and accommodating, making sure my meal was safe and delicious.

“The food was really great, I had the classic because I was just in the mood for a burger. Also got the fried Oreos , there were so delicious.

The only thing we had a problem with was there was a couple of fruit flies invading our mean. That was the only downside. Other then that the food and the people were 👍🏻“

“I called in an order because my grandson wanted Mickey D's. I wanted him to try a real hamburger. I've been here before so I knew it was good, no great.

“Today, 9 Nov 24, my wife and myself stopped at Cotton Patch. It was cool outside so we asked for coffee. Waiter informed us that the coffee machine was broke and had been for over two weeks. So my wife asked for hot cocoa. But they don’t serve hot cocoa. But the meal was very good.“

“Prices have gone thru the roof!“

“Come for the amazing food, stay for the love and connection! A restaurant truly everyone!“

“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.“

“The flood is absolutely delicious and the wait are fantastic! Highly recommend“

“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.“

“Wonderful food and great friendly staff!“

“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....“

“Breakfast (my meal) was good except the toast was tough (in other words, left out to long after toasting). Lunch, my wife's order, was really bad. Obviously under cooked (or off brand canned) black eye peas, dry mashed potatoes. I recommend breakfast with a couple modifications, but not lunch/dinner. Server (Mark) was friendly and attentive.“

“I’m upset at myself for waiting so long to come here. Of course I’ve heard about it and it was on my list for so long and finally gave it a chance. It wasn’t too busy so that may have played a part in it but still, the food was AMAZING! They have very interesting options for all preferences. I had the brisket Benedicts and were really really good. My friend had the chicken and waffles and the chicken was extra crispy and was great too. Our waiter took his time and was very patient and helpful so that was very much appreciated. I cannot wait to come back and try other dishes in their menu. I totally recommend it and now I understand why they’re always busy.“

“Great food, wonderful service, lots of choices—everything was delicious for our party of 6.“

“Great food....would recommend ..“

“So much to say about this place. All good things. Friendly staff ✅ good portions ✅ atmosphere ✅ and…. I didn’t know they had pie!? Pie ✅ Take a second to go enjoy this place. You won’t regret it“

“A Memorable Dining Experience at The Little Red Wasp

From the moment I walked through the doors of The Little Red Wasp, I knew I was in for something special. This vibrant, open-concept space strikes the perfect balance between casual comfort and elevated dining—welcoming without ever feeling too laid back.

The food? Simply outstanding. I ordered the salmon, and it was perfectly prepared—flaky, flavorful, and beautifully plated. What impressed me most wasn’t just the execution (which was exceptional), but the thoughtful care the kitchen took in accommodating my food allergies without compromising taste. Every element on the plate felt intentional and balanced, and I savored every bite—no leftovers, just a clean plate and a very satisfied diner.

I also started with a cocktail that, while well-crafted, wasn’t quite what I had expected. My server noticed this and—without hesitation—recommended another option. The watermelon-based cocktail she brought out was an absolute standout: refreshing, vibrant, and unexpectedly memorable. Both drinks were good, but her recommendation truly elevated the experience.

Portions were generous, and the quality of ingredients shone through in every course. From the kitchen to the bar to the attentive, intuitive service, The Little Red Wasp excels at every level.

It’s rare to find a restaurant that feels this dialed-in and genuinely welcoming. I’ll absolutely be returning—this time with my parents, to celebrate their anniversary. It’s exactly the kind of place you want to share with people you love.“

“The atmosphere is family friendly, relaxing, fun time.The food was great. The music bingo was a lot of fun. The DJ did a great job. He was a lot of fun and a people person A great place to go for a enjoyable time . The service was great. The owner and staff was very welcoming.“

“Gracias a Fabiola muy amable“

“Do yourself a favor and swing thru the new Bobby V's and make yourself a great memory.

New management has made a solid difference. Bruce and his staff are experts in quality and efficiency, every visit is a good memory. The artwork and atmosphere is improving everyday and the regular customers are happy to welcome in new guests and visitors into the bar.
Do yourself a favor and swing thru the new Bobby V's and make yourself a grateful memory.“

“I recently had the pleasure of being served by Ricky at Mimi’s Café, and I can confidently say he deserves all the praise. From the moment we sat down, Ricky's warm demeanor and genuine enthusiasm made our experience truly exceptional. He was attentive without being intrusive, ensuring our drinks were filled and our needs were met at every turn. Ricky offered insightful recommendations from the menu, which led us to some fantastic choices. His knowledge of the dishes and passion for the restaurant really shone through. What stood out most was his ability to create a welcoming atmosphere, making us feel like valued guests. He checked in regularly, but also took the time to share a few friendly anecdotes, adding a personal touch to our meal. Thanks to Ricky, our visit to Mimi’s Café was not just a meal but a memorable experience. I highly recommend asking for him on your next visit—you won’t be disappointed!“
