Michael and Anna donated vouchers and coupons for all of our staff! Thank you again for everything! -Bowie Fine Arts PTA“

“Fantastic food and service. Their Chicken Fried Steak or Chicken, is to die for. Our servers Derek Schwartz and Ashton were top notch. We couldn't of asked for a more perfect meal and service than what we got. We will make this a weekly visit.“

“This might be the best lunch I've ever had. Turkey bacon croissant with broccoli cheese soup It rly hits the spot on a rainy day. The cowboy bites are as great as I imagined. Corn fritters with jalapeno, cheese and bacon. House made chips with green chili queso are fantastic as well. My bf had the TX patty melt, best he's ever had too. Can't say a negative thing about this place. Our new fav“

“We recently hosted a baby shower at Cafe at the Gardens (Aldridge Gardens) and it was an incredible experience from start to finish! I was hosting the event for a friend, and the entire team went above and beyond to make the day so special. Alisha, the manager, was absolutely amazing—so kind, professional, and helpful throughout the whole planning process. Her assistant manager (I feel terrible for forgetting his name!) was also fantastic. They helped by having the tables already set up, provided linens for all the tables, and made sure we had everything we needed for our group of about 50–60 guests. They helped me choose a great menu that worked perfectly for our group. The food was the perfect amount, everything tasted great, and they had the full staff available to serve drinks and assist wherever needed. Even clean-up was a breeze—they took care of all the trash, which was a huge relief! The setting was beautiful, the staff was wonderful, and the price was incredibly reasonable. We’re so grateful for such a posh and stress-free experience. Highly recommend for any special event!“

“I would love to go there try it with my friends in Midland/Odessa Texas.“

“10/10 experience! Delicious food and large portion sizes. Friendly staff and can easily accommodate large parties even though we called last minute for a reservation. They really mean it when they say everything is made from scratch! The cheesecake and carrot cake are amazing.“

“Amazing service by our waitress Alexandr. Food was awesome and I was really surprised how good the fried shrimp was. Definitely will recommend.“

“Ate there during the rain , chicken fried steak most tender we ever had, baked potatoes were loaded and hot. Patrons were so friendly and everyone smiling. When we left it was pouring rain and a customer insisted he get our car and pull into the alley which was a little closer while our waiter appeared with a very large umbrella and walked us to our car. Can that kind of food and service be beat? Nope.“

“Jayleigh was our waitress and recommended the brisket grilled cheese, I didn’t go with her recommendation and had the burger, it did not disappoint! My son ordered the brisket grilled cheese and it was AWESOME!!!! Would highly recommend!!!“

“Fantastic food!! All home made nothing tasted fake. We had a hamburger, fries are delicious and crispy, pancakes have a sweet batter and are huge! Chicken fried steak was a hand batter too! We will be back to try more! Yum!“

“Great Food,staff,atmosphere“

“I visited Little Woodrow’s for the first time today, I’m from out of state so not familiar with this area but I had such a great experience! The atmosphere was lively but still relaxed perfect for hanging out, grabbing a drink, and enjoying some good food.

What truly stood out, though, was the service. My bartender, Talee, was fantastic—super friendly, attentive, and made sure we (my dog and I) had everything we needed the whole time. You can tell she genuinely cares about her customers.

If you’re looking for a fun, welcoming place with great service, I definitely recommend checking this spot out. I’ll for sure be back!“

“The food is amazing and authentic!!“

“Love the investment very friendly employees and very knowledgeable, food was amazing I highly recommend this Texas Roadhouse“

“My favorite bar right now. Loving the live music and my favorite bartenders.“

“The people here are always abundantly friendly, welcoming, make me and my family feel welcomed and valued! They treat us more like family or friends than customers, and engage in conversations with us. On my 1st visit with my brother, everyone was awesome, especially Sadie, who was such a sweetheart, and Carter - they were so helpful in answering my questions on about the menu! The managers and other people were equally as awesome, and one of them gave me a card to bring in next time for a free entree, which a manager would sign, then I could bring in another time, for another free entree. They all thanked us for visiting, with enthusiasm and smiles! Today was my 2nd time here, and I brought my wife. She was impressed. Along with our entrees, we shared a Parmesan Truffle Fries appetizer, and it was huge - it came in a large mixing bowl! Carter was our cashier, and he was awesome as usual, as well as the manager, Tara! He went by each table, including ours, and asked how everything was- he’s perfect to move up to being a manager. Sadie was an angel! She remembered me and asked me, “How have you been?” “How is your brother?” She went exponentially above and beyond what is expected! Many times, she checked on us, and asked how everything was, with a heartfelt smile, enthusiasm and gratitude! She got me to go containers, and offered to fill up my to go cup! She would be perfect as a manager! Tara came by, asked how everything was, our names, and conversed with us about this store, and about people we knew from other restaurants. It’s a small world! We told her how awesome everyone was, especially Carter and Sadie!“

“Good atmosphere, good services. I will visit it again“

“great place! new pool tables are awesome and service is great!“

“Unlike some other places in town, Dickey’s treated me with genuine respect and understanding. The staff was patient, friendly, and made sure my pickup order was handled quickly and smoothly — no unnecessary drama, just good service and good food.

They didn’t make a big deal about my mobility issues; they simply helped me, like decent people do. That kind of professionalism and courtesy goes a long way. The food was hot, fresh, and exactly what I ordered.

Thank you, Dickey’s, for showing that customer service and basic respect still exist in Midland.“

“Callie was the best bar tender!“

“This is one of our favorite stops for treats, but lately the cookies have been EXTREMELY disappointing!!! - hopefully these pathetic cookie imposters are not permanent 🥺“

“Absolutely love Mulberry 💗“

“We came from Houston and had a great experience at LongHorn Steakhouse. The customer service was excellent, and the lady who served us, Trinity, was awesome. She was very friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect for us. The food was great, and we really enjoyed our visit. We will definitely come back again.“

“I visited here on a Thursday night with a friend of mine. The concept of the bar seemed really cool so I was excited to check it out. I unfortunately didn’t have the chance to check out the speakeasy portion of the bar but maybe next time. There are plenty of games like jenga, cornhole, basketball, skee ball, the game where you throw a ball to hit the clowns down, a huge slide (see pictures), and more. They also had a DJ playing music while I was there and it looked like they do live music there too based off the stage. You can spend a lot of time here.

The drinks were pretty good. A bit overpriced in my opinion, but not too bad. They have quite a few beers on tap if beer is your thing.

The service was a lot quicker than I thought it would be considering how busy it was. The three bartenders working at the time were quick and friendly.

The bar is also smoke friendly if that’s is something that matters to you.

They have a very large parking lot. Even though the bar was busy when I visited, there were plenty of parking spots.“

“I loved the food here. can't wait to go back“

“We had a great experience at IHOP! Our waiter Z was incredibly friendly and accommodating, making sure we had everything we needed and offering great service from start to finish. The food came out quickly and was cooked perfectly.

I ordered the steak tips with eggs and swapped the hash browns for potatoes—everything was flavorful and satisfying. My son was thrilled that they had his favorite BBQ sauce, and he happily devoured both his kids’ meal (chicken strips and a fruit cup) and most of my pancakes! His only complaint? He wished there were more chicken strips—they were that good.

All around, it was a pleasant and easygoing meal. Great service, great food, and a happy kid—can’t ask for much more!“

“Chadrick was awesome and the food was great ! If you come around Midland Texas give them a try and ask for Chadrick. Where do I select 5 stars!!!!“

“This place is a great spot for big groups it has plenty of seating available for a party of 8, now that’s pretty good in my opinion, now for the service it is pretty good about 90% of the servers are women and they are all beautiful women at that, they do take good care of their respected tables and for the food portion the food is delicious and for my experience everything was to my liking and cooked well and the restaurant was clean the tables where clean so yes the vibes where there!!“

“The food is always good. Service is 95% good. My only complaint about this location is how dirty it is. I appreciate that they’ve painted a few pillars cause I did notice how much better it looked. But the baseboards and floor need soooo much work. The booths and their windows are so streaky. Something so simple should be on a daily cleaning list. Their restrooms need a good scrubbing with stainless steel scrubbers. A fresh paint would go a long way. I didn’t take too many pics but I’ll attach a few. The place was packed, the owner needs to invest in a refresher.“
