April sticks her neck out for any staff member that screws up just to make sure the customers are satisfied...literally she doesn't miss ! The hospitality is great, Kailyn is always so bubbly and sweet, luv her little energy ! Keep up the good work guys, very much so appreciated 🤗“

“Number 47, great dark beer.“

“Was in town for a appointment. At lunchtime began looking for a local restaurant and saw that Beaky's had excellent reviews so we decided to try it. Definitely lived up to the hype! Strongly recommend this place,“

“We stopped by there for lunch after a doctors appointment. The ribeye was good, but in hindsight, I probably should’ve ordered the country fried chicken. My wife said it was really good. The staff was very friendly and the service was excellent“

“This is the best little chicken place in Baytown. Nothing fancy but ALWAYS clean and always very fresh food! The staff is also very friendly. I love going there when I have the money to. But I always feed 4 of us for about $30. Which is very reasonable“

“If i gave all 5 stars, why are you asking me to redo my review google? Because here i am...updating it with 1 less star on each.
Chicken fried steak was very bland today.
Mac and cheese has been watery with no flavor for last 2 visits.
Corn was even blah! How do you blah up corn?
The little lady that got us our drinks was very sweet and hard working that's why I'm just knocking off 1 star for service. But the waitress...as long as yours not asking her for assistance with something, she might be ok. But I feel like she would spit in my food for wanting to exchange something out. She's really not the warm and friendly type of waitress...I guess a job is a job. I get it...but dang Gina!“

“Yo, Cheddar’s Scratch Kitchen in Pasadena is absolutely fire! Our family of five (two adults, three kids) rolled up from East Fwy, and this spot was straight up incredible. The grilled salmon was pure perfection, flaky, seasoned just right, and only about $14, a total win for that gourmet vibe. The Chicken Alfredo? Creamy, saucy, pasta goals for around $13, with portions so big we had leftovers for days. The kids went wild for the Penne Pasta Marinara (about $5.99 each), scarfing down that tangy sauce like champs. And don’t get me started on the honey butter croissants, free with entrees, flaky, sweet, and so good we were ready to grab the whole basket to go. For five of us, the bill was around $60 with tax and tip, which is unreal for scratch made eats.

The service was top tier, our server was awesome, keeping drinks topped off, dropping jokes that had us all cackling, and handling our kids’ sauce mess like a pro. The whole crew was on point, making a busy Monday night feel chill and welcoming. This place is a family friendly gem, cozy and perfect for a squad meal. We’re already hyped to come back for more salmon, pasta, and those unreal croissants. If you’re in Houston, hit up Cheddar’s, it delivers all the vibes for a great meal that won’t break the bank. Bet we’ll be back!“

“Well, there Is a Hart's Chicken, In Baytown, Tx. I've been visiting there since, 2019, when I mov3d back home.
Everytime that I hv visited there when the manager, Jimmy Diaz has been there, the place Is SPOTLESS. Before I moved away from Baytown, I would visit Hart's Chicken, for lunch, n dinner. I was ALWAYS treated with RESPECT, by Jimmy, n his crew, no matter what time It was, r what Shift was there.
I've visited 3 other Hart's by the way, but this one, on Garth Rd In Baytown, has been the BEST one. The 2nd BEST one for me, Is the one In Dayton, Tx. They are just ads friendly, as the other Hart's Chicken, that's located In Baytown. The other 2, that I hv visited, on Alexander, n In Liberty, was NOT FRIENDLY to everyone, n the food was very blend. Their service at the Hart's that's located on Alexander, In Baytown, was SOOO NONCHALANT. Like I had to spend my money with them. NOT!!! The Hart's In Liberty wasn't so hot either, but their attitude was better than the one on Alexander In Baytown.
Anyway, If you want the BEST BAKED/FRIED Hart's Chicken, fried livers, fried gizzards, fried okra, n hot wings, then Garth Rd Hart's Chicken Is the place for you. I ALWAYS dine In, lol, because the atmosphere Is good.
Thanks guys, for making me feel like, I had cooked my own home cooked lunch, r my home cooked dinner.
Jimmy Diaz, you, n ALLLLLL of your crew members, no matter what shift they are on, you guys are ALWAYS, clean, n well stocked, with fresh food on the buffet.
Keep up the great work you guys. I APPRECIATE YOU. ❤️“
