“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🎄“

“Christian was so rude, disrespectful for the whole time my husband and I were there this morning. Came up and snatched my husband's drink to refill it. But wouldn't remember to refill mine at all. Forgot to give us our sausages, almost gave them to the next customers that just came in. Wanted us to yell our order across the restaurant to give him our order. Was annoyed he had to come closer because I dont speak very loudly like that. Never refilled my drinks. Seemed annoyed with anyone coming in. We wont be back. Completely bizarre.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Food was awesome and Jaeyden was very attentive and kept our drinks filled“

“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.“

“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!“

“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 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.“

“First time stopping in while I’m in town for a dance competition and I’m so glad I did! I had the half chicken salad sandwich with a half garden salad and a chai latte😋Everything was fresh and delicious. It’s such a cute spot with plenty of room to sit and relax, and I loved hearing Christian music playing. If I’m ever back in the area, I’d definitely visit again!“

“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.“

“Ms. Nikki is an AMAZING waitress! My son and I have eaten at the Cedar Hill location before and had her as a waitress. This was over a year ago, and she left a lasting impression all the way to our visit today. She is very attentive and personable.“

“We have eaten at a couple Red Robin's in various states, none of them were we treated with such perfect hospitality as we were at this one. AJ, our waiter, was top notch in service and customer satisfaction!! The food was cooked great and delivered promptly. The rest of the staff all thanked us for our business as we exited the building. The easiest 5 star 🌟 review I have had the pleasure of giving.“

“We went for my son's 23rd birthday. We called ahead for seating and did not have to wait. I highly suggest doing this, there were quite a few groups waiting. The food was great. The service was fantastic. The noise level was very high. And we had difficulty hearing each other from across the table. We were seated in the middle of the restaurant, so maybe it would've have been a little less loud had we been next to a wall. That was the only downside. Everything else was excellent. Will definitely be back!“

“Great food and excellent customer service.“

“Great place to go with family and friends.“

“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..“

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

“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!“

“Much better experience this time.“

“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..“

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

“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.“

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

“Luci's Chicken & Rice brings a vibrant blast of satisfying comfort food straight to North Hampton Road. This casual, high-energy neighborhood staple pairs a relaxed, family-friendly counter-service dining space with exceptionally warm, welcoming hospitality. The kitchen delivers bold, scratch-made flavor, pairing golden, crispy fried chicken tenders and savory seasoned rice with hot chicken sandwiches, fried catfish baskets, golden crinkle-cut fries, and buttery rolls.“

“I enjoyed breakfast at the new Waffle House in Cedar Hill today (June 28, 2026). This was my second visit, and I truly love the ambiance. The food is always good, and the cooks and waitstaff have such great attitudes, making every visit enjoyable.

I also want to give a special shoutout to Ms. Irene. She was working incredibly hard, taking names for table seating while also cleaning tables to keep everything running smoothly. Her dedication and friendly attitude did not go unnoticed. Great customer service all around! I'll definitely be back.“

“Entertaining and positive atmosphere“

“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😋“

“Samara was an excellent server! She was so sweet, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. She provided great service and really made our experience at IHOP enjoyable. We truly appreciated her kindness and great attitude. We will definitely be back!“
