“El Dia De hoy ordene Omelet y pancakes 🥞 estubo todo delicioso ,un buen servicio gracias😊“

“This little spot is a rare gym in the area, there aren’t many coffee shops near by. The coffee is great and the staff always remembers my name which I think is so sweet. The firehouse pottery shop next door is nice to walk through while you’re drinking your coffee.“

“Eric is far and away, the best! The quality of the food here is always spot-on. For more years than I can remember, Eric has made sure that I and anyone with me is taken care of. Ol' South just doesn't hit the same if he's not the one taking care of us.“

“My daughter loves coming here for the pink tacos. Always had great experience both with the food and service“

“I've been coming to this place since 1999 and have seen all the changes. For good reason and I like coming here to eat 😍“

“I cannot say enough good things about this restaurant. Absolutely everything is top notch. They get you seated very quickly (wait times are never egregious), the staff is always very kind and attentive. They go above and beyond. I decided to customize my order yesterday when I went and the waitress got everything correct. She added cheese to my eggs and she even allowed me to substitute the meat for a muffin even though the menu said that you couldn't do that. The food is wonderful and if the menu is to be believed, ethically sourced. Their juices are excellently prepared. All of them. They've got a new tropical one that is orange and it was really good. But honestly it's hard for me to just pick one to drink when I go because they are all terrific. Anyways, go here, give them your money, it's worth it. First Watch is an establishment that I hope is around for many, many years to come.“

“December-10-2025
As we walked in, we were greeted with a smile and a warm welcome. The interior looked like a Christmas wonderland. The place was lively and all decked out in festive decorations. The interior is very spacious with a lot of places to sit.
The staff was so friendly, attentive, and provided superb customer service.

Our server was such a sweet lady, friendly, and went above and beyond. She even gave my boy an elf plushie. It was such a thoughtful and kind thing for her to do. My boy hugged the elf and smiled at the lady. Our server made a new friend for sure, since my boy seemed to like her. I wish I had texted or written the name of the server on paper to ensure she knows what a marvelous job she did.
I ordered a meat omelet with hash browns. The omelet and hash browns tasted freshly made.

I loved how the hash browns were cooked, they were cooked to perfection, and they weren't burnt like many other places. The omelet was so good, especially with some Cholula sauce. 10/10
My boy had a pancake, sausage, and eggs. He seemed to like his food.
My friend enjoyed her food as well.

This was a wonderful experience. Delicious food and exceptional customer service. Thank you so much for making our experience a memorable one, and a huge thanks to our amazing server.
If you have yet to eat hereI highly recommend you stop by.“

“Excellent, best breakfast and coffee I've ever had. Highly recommend.“

“I love Snap Kitchen & the Fort Worth store is great…always very clean, well-stocked, and speedy. The food is delicious, and the menu keeps favorites, but also rotates seasonally in a way that keeps the choices interesting. To a person, the staff is incredibly friendly & helpful. Highly recommend!“

“First time we visited this location and we were amazed at the service and how good the food tasted. We will be visiting this place more often“

“This location of Waffle House is the best! A side of drama served hot with great coffee, tasty food, and just the right atmosphere when you want something hot, quick, and yummy to eat! The employees are great and deal perfectly with everything that gets thrown their way! Starr is the best server ever! Always friendly every time I stop in... Can't imagine a better Waffle House experience! 😁“

“I can't say enough good things about this place. The food is delivered looking EXACTLY like the pictures and tastes so good I could cry.“

“I mostly eat alone, sometimes with my wife when possible. Pam is the best waitress in my opinion at this IHOP. I eat here regularly, and the service is always supreme with Pam. She goes above and beyond every time. I always ask if she is available.“

“It felt like home from the time we walked in the door. Our server, Basel, was the best! The food was perfect, from temperature to taste! Would recommend this location off Cherry Lane. 5 Stars!!! And the server Patricia was really nice and observant.“

“Food is great and reasonable price. Staff is super great & friendly“

“The food was very yummy. The burrito was just the right size with lots of goodness inside!!! The floor sounds very sticky is the only down side I found. It might not even be sticky it could have something to do with it being VERY humid outside.“

“Where should I start. I guess by saying that I was very impressed with this restaurant. The restaurant is a nice restaurant and the staff and very nice. The food looks great and tastes even better.let me say that I’m hard to impress with food. I would recommend this place and give it a 5 out of 5. Este Restaurante eata buenisimo. Me encanto la comida y el lugar.“

“I posted a Google review and the restaurant responded but I can't respond back to them on Google, so here's me response: Don't try to blame delivery for your weird rubbery eggs and half cooked potatoes. When I sent a picture of the food to people, the response from most of them was something along the lines of "those are eggs?!" And I didn't say you used boxed pancake mix, I specifically accused you of using boxed confetti cake mix (without the confetti) for your pancakes. It smells exactly the same and I couldn't take more than 1 bite because they were so disgusting. Here is my original review: I got food through Uber. The egg scramble tasted good but the texture was rubbery. The potatoes were only half way cooked so they were soft on the outside and dense on the inside. The pancakes were flat and absolutely disgusting. Somehow they taste like Tylenol... Have no idea how that happens. We ordered orange juice and strawberry lemonade, and the lemonade was missing but that could have been a delivery issue. Edit: I figured out why the pancakes taste so off. They were made with store bought cake mix. They smell exactly like the store bought confetti cake powder. And here is their response: Good Morning Stephanie, I'm sorry that you didn't enjoy your take out meal. I can understand that you may not like the taste of our pancakes but I can assure you we do NOT use store bought pancake mix for our pancakes. Unfortunately, once the order leaves our restaurant we can't control what happens to it or how long it takes to get delivered to you which can affect the quality of the meal. Thanks so much for your understanding.“

“Madd Cooking made a cake for my grandbabies first birthday and it was the best cake I have ever had! Very beautifully made and was so yummy!“

“The warm welcome from the owner. I purchased 20 burritos for Thanksgiving and my order was fast and efficient and everyone at my job loved them burritos. I will definitely be going back!!“

“Visited this location for brunch with three other people. Food was good and cooked to order and the server was pleasant and efficient. Place was really busy since it was Sunday morning but they took care of us in a reasonable amount of time.“

“I’ve come in here several times over the past couple of weeks, and Dee has been wonderful to me and my friends every time! She always remembers us and greets us with a lovely smile and conversation! If you need to give anyone a raise it is surely her!“

“Great breakfast they even made my gluten free pancake. Tried their baklava really good. Lisa gave great service to all 14 of us. Will definitely come back. 5 star“

“Our service today was above and beyond, our server Amanda was very attentive and made sure our order was made correctly, having a dairy allergy I appreciate when orders are listened to and communicated with the kitchen. Overall an amazing service and will be returning!“

“First time for kids and I. We came from the RGV which is an 8hr drive and we loved our first time experience. Everyone was in a positive attitude. Definitely will come again.“

“We had an excellent experience thanks to our server . They were welcoming from the moment we sat down, checked on us often without being overbearing, and made sure our order was accurate and hot. Their positive attitude really stood out and made our meal enjoyable. IHOP needs more servers like this!“

“We had Thomas as our server and he was excellent!“

“Shout out to my man Junior!

I haven’t been to Waffle House in almost 8 years, I haven’t forgotten the food but the service this go around was phenomenal! Talk about customer service, Junior made it a point to try to make a connection with the customer and the professional hospitality and service was top tier. Kudos to this young man! Waffle House needs more young men like junior on the front lines making memories and being that smile when you walk in!

Thank you Junior,

From central Texas visiting!“
