“San Froyo is absolutely amazing! The frozen yogurt was delicious, perfectly creamy, and had so many great flavors to choose from. What really stood out, though, was their customer service — the staff was super friendly, attentive, and made the experience even better. It’s clear they really care about their customers. Keep up the excellent work, San Froyo! I’ll definitely be coming back.“

“If you’re anywhere near Richmond, TX and you don’t stop at Jaime's Dairy Treat, you’re doing yourself a disservice. Their bacon cheeseburger is everything a classic burger should be: a juicy, well-seasoned patty, perfectly melted cheese, crispy bacon with real bite, and a soft bun that holds it all together without falling apart. It’s simple, old-school, and absolutely nailed — no gimmicks, just pure flavor. And the best part? The price. In a world where burgers are pushing ridiculous gourmet prices, Jamie’s delivers a top-tier bacon cheeseburger that’s affordable, filling, and worth every penny. You leave full, happy, and not questioning your bank account. This is the kind of place that reminds you why local dairy treats and burger stands are unbeatable. Friendly service, great food, and prices that make you want to come back again and again.“

“Wanted to lock in to study for an exam at a cafe and this turned out to be the perfect spot. Staff was super nice and gave me suggestions when I told them it’s my first time. They have a number of outlets and a good amount of seating to be productive with friends or by yourself! Lastly, the coffee was AMAZING (I got the Vietnamese Iced Coffee, highly recommend)!“

“**⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5)**
Crumbl Aliana is such a fun spot! The shop is bright, clean, and the staff were super friendly when I came in. The cookies are HUGE — honestly, each one feels like two cookies in one, so the price makes sense once you see the size.

I tried a few of the weekly flavors and they were fresh, warm, and absolutely delicious. The rotating menu keeps it exciting, and opening up that pink box feels like a little celebration every time.

If you’re looking for a sweet treat to share (or not share!), this location is definitely worth the stop. I’ll be back for sure to see what new flavors they roll out next.“

“I am very specific about what kind of ice cream I like, and Baskin Robbin’s gets it right! Blue Bell and Braum’s are the other 2 on the list. If you love either of those, you’ll love Baskin Robbins.

This location is in a good spot, easy to get to, easy to park, easy drive thru. I appreciate how simple the inside of the restaurant is. It looks great, plenty of seating. The floors being raw concrete is smart since it makes for easy cleanup, which is needed for an ice cream shop.

The service is always good. Many of the workers are young, possibly first jobs. And, they have been positive and kind. They must do a great job of hiring and building a positive working environment.“

“This Great American Cookies & Ice Cream at Aliana in Richmond, TX, is a fantastic spot for a sweet treat! The cookies are always fresh and delicious, and the ice cream is rich and creamy—the perfect combo. The store is clean and welcoming, and the staff is super friendly and attentive. They have a great selection of cookie flavors, and the custom cookie cakes are amazing for special occasions. The pairing of cookies with ice cream is a dream come true! I highly recommend stopping by for a treat—you won’t be disappointed!“

“Great food. Fun atmosphere.“

“This was my first time taking the kids to DQ & also my first time ever eating at a DQ. We stopped by because my son’s friend told him about a promo on their blizzards so we decided to take a little car ride to get blizzards. While we weren’t able to use the promo because he didn’t get all the details, they guy who was taking the drive-thru orders was honestly one of the nicest amd friendliest staff members at a fast food restaurant (aside from CFA) that I have ever encountered. He gave us some tips on downloading the app for future promos & was just super nice. The blizzards, ice cream cone & onion rings were also great. We will definitely be back!“

“Quiet location with ample parking. The line moved quickly and the staff were decently friendly. I was pleased when I unexpectedly received a discount because they were having a sale. The hotdogs were served at a good hot temperature and ample toppings. Good sonic location.

Wheelchair accessibility: Pathway ramp is available for acces to the dining tables (outside).“
