“I hade the chicken fried steak and it was really good. Made from a real steak, not a hamburger patty.“

“Tina was our server, she was awesome. Food was fabulous and we loved the atmosphere.“

“This place is amazing and I’ll say probably the best steaks I’ve ever had! Upscale ambiance chill romantic with friendly professional staff! The drinks are on point and craft! Super chill, so delicious! We will be back!“

“This is a restaurant inside of a gas station. Food here is good. Service is always quick and courteous. The brisket tacos are pretty awesome. A step above for sure with the smoked brisket. They also have a loaded baked potato (done chophouse style w/ smoked meat and baked beans, etc.) that will leave you stuffed if you can eat it all. Great place to eat.“

“Love this location! Anytime I go in & Jessica is working she always stops by my table & chit chats with me for a bit. Every server takes great care of me & my daughter when we show. I love me some chilis but I come back to this one specifically because of how personable they are.“

“The food here is always great, but today, on Christmas Eve, they went above and beyond! We realized last minute that we didn’t have enough meat for our family gathering. Even though they were closed and working a catering event, they answered the phone and absolutely saved the day. That kind of service is rare. Thank you, Ellis County BBQ! Merry Christmas🎄“

“You always know what you are gonna get because they are that consistent. Simple menu done right. Always fast friendly service. If one location is full there's probably one across the street or on the next intersection. Get yourself here. Wish we had them in California.“

“Without a doubt one of the best places to eat. The lobster crab cakes were very good but the highlight of the meal were the steaks. I had the ribeye the wife had the fillet medallions. Perfectly cook and the flavors were delicious. Will be back.“

“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....“

“I have always had great service and never had cold food or my order wrong.“

“Our waitress Erika was amazing. She checked on us often. When we go again we will ask for Erika.“

“The hostess at the door was rude..service was just ok ,but slow...the only saving grace is surprisingly the food was very good..almost turned around and left after the rude lady with an attitude before she sat us..And ordered a couple bottle beers barely drinkable..not where close to cold..“

“The customer service was great, food was very good and it has a very cozy/ relaxing atmosphere.“

“I’ve attended the Daiquiri station a few times and each time, you’re embraced with positivity, my fish has always been fried correctly and the drinks are always A1. But what’s caught my eye, were the activities that are held there. Friday they had a small group of people painting jamming for Jesus if I’m correct and that was awesome to see. People able to eat and embrace each other and they welcomed others to join.“

“While I have no visited this particular business …I surely never will now. You should never how to throw shade in order to progress but to each their own“

“Food was great , love the staff We will be back“

“I'm not here to bash the business but to help this was my first time eating at this location today. customer service was great,they got my food out in great timing . But I would have to say I was disappointed in the food I don't know if the reason for if it was close to closing time..But I must say I had the 10 piece meal the food was Bland not a taste of seasoning. which also every piece of fish had that fatty taste to it which combined with the no seasoning made it not so great. my opinion I will give it a 4 out of 10.but like I said I'm not trying to bash them. I'm all for coming back and eating there hoping today was a bad day..“

“So many options. Wraps, salads, burgers, roast beef sandwich’s , chicken, etc.“

“The service and food was amazing! Laura, our waitress, helped me with suggestions for dinner and drinks and went up and above. She even brought my daughter some beads not knowing we were here for her birthday shopping. We will definitely be back and sitting in Laura's section again!“

“I have been here 2x now with family. The building is adorable and bathrooms are available to customers. Staff has always been kind and available to answer questions about the food/beverages. They also do little coffee art on top- which is just that extra little sparkle. The patio is large and fans are installed to help with those hot summers in Texas. Prices are comparative in the area. Very cute spot for breakfast/brunch/lunch.“

“The food is delicious, the shakes are like old fashioned. tasty fries. And the chocolate cake is amazing“

“Had a terrible experience at this location a few years back and decided to give them another try due to I need to stay in the area for some business. Waitress and food made up for the bad memory. Red Robin was my family's favorite before the incident. We would bring 10 or more ppl every time we would come I definitely missed the onion ring tower which was my wife's favorite. (Passed in December)
So it was a funny feeling being back there without her in the booth with me.
I have lost several pounds since the last time I was at the restaurant and attempted to indulge in the endless root beer float and could only finish half of one 😆. Red Robin thanks for great experience.
My waitress made sure I was doing good throughout my visit and this absolutely made a difference!!!!!“

“Food is great! But if you want a to go order & try to call ahead- they will never answer the phone....if the phone even works.“

“This was my very first time visiting Texas Roadhouse, and I can honestly say it was an amazing experience from start to finish! Even though the restaurant was extremely busy and packed, the service never missed a beat. The staff was incredibly attentive, friendly, and made sure we felt welcomed and taken care of the entire time. That level of service, especially during such a busy time, really stood out to me.

Now let’s talk about the food—the fresh, warm rolls with the cinnamon honey butter were absolutely incredible! They were soft, perfectly baked, and honestly one of the best parts of the meal. Everything we ordered was flavorful, fresh, and came out in a timely manner despite how crowded it was.

The atmosphere was lively and fun, exactly what you’d expect from Texas Roadhouse, and it made the whole dining experience even more enjoyable. Between the great service, delicious food, and welcoming environment, this visit definitely left a lasting impression.

I loved everything about this place and will absolutely be coming back again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for great food and an even better experience! 🤠🍽️“

“Great place to go with family and friends.“

“The management team was great working with me and my party. There were 20+ people in our party and the staff did a great job meeting our needs on the day of my gathering in July 2025. The food was delicious, the music and vibe was on point. i visited this spot over a year ago and didn't have a good experience with food or service but my recent visit reflected a totally different experience as mentioned above. I will definitely visit again and hopefully its cooler so that we. an enjoy their patio area.“

“Came up for an early dinner, and everything was pretty awesome. The Tater Kegs were freaking awesome! Highly recommend those, maybe two orders lol Most of the fries were great. Sadly, mine were mostly overcooked and too hard but the French Dip sandwich was perfect as usual. Thanks for a nice family dinner!“

“The hostess at the door was rude..service was just ok ,but slow...the only saving grace is surprisingly the food was very good..almost turned around and left after the rude lady with an attitude before she sat us..And ordered a couple bottle beers barely drinkable..not where close to cold..“

“We arrived, and their was a live saxophone player performing. We generally go to Red Robin but wanted to try something local... We ordered their basic hamburger with pepper jack, and it is the best burger my husband and I have ever tried.
We're coming back tomorrow with my in-laws. They even have a vegan burger option which is always appreciated. Plus the service was friendly.“

“If you’re anywhere near Chili's Grill & Bar, do yourself a favor and ask for Miss Nicki—because WOW.

From the moment we sat down, she brought an energy that completely changed the whole vibe. Friendly, funny, and on point with everything, she made us feel like VIPs the entire time. Drinks? Perfect. Timing? Flawless. Service? Absolutely top-tier.

Miss Nicki doesn’t just serve—she creates an experience. She had us laughing, relaxed, and taken care of without missing a beat. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does, and it shows in every interaction.

If you want a fun, smooth, and memorable night out, Miss Nicki is the reason to go. Hands down one of the BEST cocktail servers I’ve ever had.

We’ll definitely be back—and definitely asking for her again!“

“Much better experience this time.“

“This place is a hidden gem, one of the best fried chicken restaurants I've ever tried and that's a lot!!!! To say !!! Hear me when I'm saying this. Not only the fried chicken is good but they have also a great menu, with many options! No other fried chicken restaurant can match all you get, for the price you pay. So if you are in the area and craving a good fried chicken, no you know!“

“Entertaining and positive atmosphere“

“Excellent service and delicious food! Joshua, the chef, did an excellent job and made our first experience at Waffle House a pleasant one!“

“First time at this Waffle House. Pleasant greeter at the door. Busy staff and him of conversation by the guests in the full restaurant. The staff were friendly, greeting all as the door bell rang open. Great and quick meal. Highly recommended. Manager ran a visibly approachable and seamless flow.

The food was delicious. Staff always checks to see if we needed anything, topped off coffee and went right to the next guest.

Look forward to coming back.“

“Love Drafts“

“This is our comfort brunch place. Been to this location many times. There's something about the chefs that work there because the food comes out 10/10 nearly every time. My favorites are their French toast, berry waffles, cinnamon pancakes, and we love their nachos! The rest of staff is great as well.

Also, I believe this location is no longer 24 hours? They close at either 9 or 10 pm (learned that the hard way). Just keep that in mind or call ahead to confirm what time they close that day.“

“My 1st lunch here, "spicy fish & shrimp basket" was off the chain, I will be back tomorrow.. & the next day😋“

“Good food. Nice bartender!!“
