“So much fun! Awesome atmosphere, knowledgeable staff, and an unforgettable experience! We will be back. Shout out to Tim and Nate!”

“This was our first time trying this restaurant, and it exceeded our expectations. We sat outside on the patio near the water feature. The atmosphere was very romantic. Jordan provided outstanding service. The food & drinks were exemplary. Highly recommend the Ginger Mule, Lemon Drop Martini, Prawn Pad Thai, Sticky rice, and Grilled Pork Spare Ribs! Everything was clean, fresh, and delicious.”

“My wife and I ate at PF Changs at The.Colony, Texas. First our waiter David was amazing. He was personable, knowledgeable and made a positive lasting impression on us both. A wonderful and intelligent young man. The food was exxellent, absolutely the best Hot & Sour soup, Lettuce Wraps, Mongolian Beef and.Honey Seared Shrimp. David surprised us with a slice of the Great Wall of Chocolate and made the night complete.”

“Tried for the first time today, best BBQ I've had in a long time. Had chicken, ribs, baked beans. and potato salad. Well worth the drive from Little Elm. Called the order in and was ready when I got there Will definitely be regulars.”

“There is a history behind The Seven Doors which are throughout the restaurant. Beautiful restaurant and service was 4 stars. The crispy ribs are SPECTACULAR!! This restaurant is on my top 10 list and I can’t wait to try other items.”

“Good food reasonably priced”

“Good service. Reasonable prices.”

“Got tickets online and appears they were fraudulent somehow as it seemed we paid VIP prices but was GA tickets. In the mess of it all the staff especially Ricki made it right and went above and beyond to take care of us in a time of major disappointment. We will be back here without a doubt. Thanks Lava Cantina!!!!”

“This is probably my 5th time coming back, and they never disappoints.We always come back for birthdays or just to do a to go.Everyone is really kind and hopeful.Def recommended and don’t forget to tell them it’s your birthday, they’ll give you a surprise!”

“Wonderful atmosphere, delicious food, and excellent customer service. One of the best places in Dallas for quality hangout. Highly recommended! The papdi chaat was delicious!”

“This place has some of the best smoked BBQ in the whole area. Best collection of Bourbon, whiskey and Rye of any bar I've ever been too. all the staff I've every met there is always, friendly, respectful, efficient, professional. This is hands down our favorite hangout in the whole area.”

“Quartino Ristorante Grandscape is a must visit! The food is excellent here, nice cocktails, nice beer selection, and GREAT wine selection! Dinning and Brunch are fabulous, but the Happy Hours are spectacular, especially on Wednesday where their incredible wines (glass or bottle) and delicious pizzas are half off! Great service whether sitting in the dining room or at the very nice spacious bar, the service is unbeatable and if you get the pleasure of having Mikayla as your server, then you are in for a treat because she is top notch at her craft and you will enjoy your time there even more! You Go Mikayla!!”

“Jessica knows how to run a great and fun place! Jessica makes Saintsbury is the best place to visit on the street! I would be remiss if I did not mention Lauren, she is awesome. A big thank you to Jessica and Lauren!

I have been back to Saintsbury Tavern multiple times since I posted my review and it is still the best place to go and have a great time!”

“1st time trying cooked oysters, they came highly recommended, and they taste great. The staff was professional and knowledgeable and gave good suggestions. The location is great. It is small on the inside and can get loud. The boil was garlic heavy, but the shrimp and crab legs were fresh and sizeable.”

“Vanessa, our server, turned this from another meal out, to a memorable experience. Excellent service, excellent food, excellent atmosphere overlooking the water. We’ll come back. I had the biryani, my wife had the butter chicken. Both were good.”

“Great time tonight listening to a retro Def Leppard band and having dinner. Gorgeous sunset and great service! My catfish was delicious! Will definately come here again!”

“Michael Irwin set records as a Dallas Cowboy. Playmakers 88 continues his high standards by offering outstanding customer service and appetizing food. My husband and I stopped by for dinner last weekend and got a bonus. Michael pulled out all the stops and hosted a memorable birthday celebration for Drew Pearson. Live music, talented vocalists and celebrity guests combined to create a very special event. Michael's warm personality always makes everyone welcome. Playmakers 88 is the perfect venue for your next event. Call and schedule a date soon.”

“great place, clean, fun, great atmosphere and about to have live music!”

“The best Lemon Supreme Pie Ever! Excellent Service as well.”

“Awesome food! Will make it a stop when I am in area!”

“Natalie was awesome this afternoon!! She was attentive, personable and professional.”

“such a friendly environment.”

“Excellent service. Catered an event for me and could not have been more pleased. Food was delicious and plentiful. You cannot go wrong using this restaurant.”

“We drove in from out of town and wanted to spend the evening relaxing listening to live music while getting a bite to eat/drink. The setup is really cool. They have yard games, plenty of fun seating, several bar areas (one being a brewery), food trucks, and a toilet seat museum (which was a little odd). Lol We were there on a weekday, so it wasn’t as lively as I’m sure it is on the weekend. There were only two food trucks open that day…tacos and desserts. We were not really in the mood for that particular kind of food, so we just ordered drinks (Happy Hour), listened to the music and enjoyed the rest of the evening.”

“cool beers ' good ipas, good music,”

“Muy sabroso! Excellent food, fantastic service, great value!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The girls working today absolutely made our morning! We ordered a breakfast sandwich, the chicken pesto, an Irish coffee, and a blackberry mimosa — and everything was absolutely delicious. The food was fresh and flavorful, and the drinks were spot on. The views here are incredible, but what really set the experience apart was the amazing service. The baristas were so sweet, welcoming, and genuinely fun to talk to. This place is a true gem — we can’t wait to come back!”

“Went for the first time today— ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. Fresh, clearly cooked right then and there. Sauces were GREAT, dry rubs were GREAT, bartender (Lee) was extremely friendly and knowledgeable about everything on the menu. 10/10 experience, I’ll definitely be back to try other menu items!!”

“SO. GOOD. thank you for amazing food and fantastic service”

“I had breakfast yesterday for the first time here, and the food was amazing. My friend had the banana and Nutella crepes. She said they were delicious. I had scrambled eggs and ham and the portions were awesome. Our server Isaac was excellent. We plan to return and try having lunch. I would recommend this little cafe, it's very spacious, the service is excellent; the food is delicious, and the coffee is great”

“Burger was very good but something missing it was not quite like the California In-N-Out Burgers”

“My wife and I eat breakfast almost every weekend after our morning workout. It’s a little bit of “our time” on the weekend and the staff and food has always been great. But a few weeks ago they were busy and although the meal was good the service was a little lacking and upon checkout our server’s assistant was short and seemed irritated. We were surprised and as we left were talking about it and hostess overheard and we saw her go back and immediately say something to our server. We chalked it up to being short staffed and busy. Came back the next week and everything was great. Came again today and everything was great AND our server from the bad day waited on us and was great. Here’s the part that impressed me, as we were checking out she stopped and apologized for the service from a couple weeks before, didn’t make excuses, said she’d addressed the issue with her assistant and thanked us for coming back. Apologizing is a lost art, and we appreciated it so much that not only did she not get defensive she remembered the situation, it had clearly been on her mind since that day and she wanted to make it right. That tells me Barney’s is here for the long haul and has leadership that is inspiring the employees. Great job Barney’s! We will continue to our weekend breakfast dates for a long long time.”

“Best Hawaiian BBQ I've ever eaten. Recommend the mix plate.”

“Best coffee and lovely atmosphere. Family owned and a real gem!”

“Great service and friendly people!”

“just ate desert from Feng Cha in The Colony. they were technically closed but made desert for us any way. very polite staff and their cake was light and very good! we'll be back for more. can't wait to try other items off their menu. Give them a try, you won't regret it!”

“This restaurant is always amazing and the service was great! Lupe at 6th and congress was so nice and helpful! And of course, the food is on point.”

“Great food and always great service. Thanks to Natalia for taking care of us today. Great job!”

“Tony was great! Very attentive without being badgering. Brought us what we needed without being asked. Thanks Tony! We'll be back!”

“Highly recommend. Great food and quick delivery. I ordered from pizza vibes and food arrived on time and was still hot and fresh. Overall, I’m very impressed and will definitely order again.”

“Great beer and ambiance. Love being able to have our dog join in the fun.”

“This place was amazing! I had it first in Chicago and was so excited we have one here! So yummy!”

“6 stars if I could. We love ice cream and this local favorite was amazing. My son told me to get strawberry and I had to get Rocky Road as it looked like my childhood favorite (from Thirfty’s in Pasadena). Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their ice cream or shake.”

“First time here and definitely coming back!
I had the chicken flautas and the pozole — both were absolutely excellent! The flautas were crispy and flavorful, and the pozole was rich, hearty, and perfectly seasoned. Great portions and authentic taste. Highly recommend Calles de Mexico Taco Shop if you're looking for delicious, authentic Mexican food in The Colony!”

“My party had Lily as our server tonight and we had a GREAT time! She was extremely sweet and patient to me and my family, Who had a lot of questions about the menu. we even Cracked jokes together and laughed… My grandson spilled his water as soon as she brought it to him, and Lilly had jumped to get us a Rag and a new water! She didn’t rush us with the check, and Told us to take our time… We will be asking for her our next visit.

Restaurant a little loud”

“Rix is our go to bar for darts and pool. Rocket and Mamba always make sure our drinks are great while Emery and the twins make sure we are good on food. Overall, this is one of the most cohesive and well working bar teams I've ever had the privilege of being served by. Will never stop loving Rix and its staff.”

“We LOVE 54th Street for its quality food and service and the laid back yet quant atmosphere! Our server Eddy was impeccable!! He was polite, considerate, jovial, gave great recommendation, consistently checked on us and exceeded our expectations. Great job!!!!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4 stars)
I stopped in to try iHeart Kolache and was greeted by a cozy, clean little spot—perfect for a relaxed morning bite. I ordered the sausage gravy kolache and a lemon kolache, while my wife had a cheese one.

Unfortunately, the sausage gravy kolache was way too salty—I ended up tossing it. That said, the fruit and cheese kolaches absolutely saved the visit. The lemon was tangy and bright, and the cherry was perfectly sweet with a buttery dough that melts in your mouth.

The atmosphere is great for grabbing coffee and a sweet treat to start your day. I’d definitely return for the fruit kolaches—they’re worth the stop!”

“great doughnuts. diferent flavor very fresh.”

“I moved across the highway about two years ago, And I decided to try this place that was across the highway from me. 10 out of 10 would recommend the service is always fast and everything is so affordable. The best broth I’ve had!”

“I love eating sushi, poke bowls and hibachi so you will not be disappointed with anything you try here. Try this place! You will taste all the flavors melt into your mouth.”

“Very Outstanding Service....Food was phenomenal.Daquri was strong and good.Boudin Balls was 🔥”

“Loved that they had my favorite childhood ice cream flavors Superman and Bluemoon. However, I DID NOT like that no one had on gloves scooping or serving ice cream. Please Mgmt get your employees some gloves especially when handling food…that should be a MUST.”

“Tried for the first time today - had a cinnamon cream cheese danish (delicious) and probably the best macarons I’ve ever had - beautiful and so flavorful! Will definitely be back!”

“Such amazing customer service! I’ve gone to her time and time again. I’ve received Coconut. Strawberry. And Wedding cake and Vanilla. I’ve been over 10 times and drive over 20 minutes or have constructed my day to somehow get a slice of cake. I have a sweet tooth so naturally it’s great. However my dad doesn’t love sweets and now requests 2 slices every time I go. Her family and others that run the counter have always been great as well. Wish this business nothing but the best”

“I had the peanut butter açaí bowl. The açaí puree was very good. I appreciated the smooth texture of it mixed with the fruit and granola. The peanut butter was drizzled on top which I feel should have been mixed into the puree. Otherwise it was a great flavor combination.”

“ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!!!”

“We ate last night at Amore Restaurant in The Colony and the food was excellent. Also listened to special music entertainment by Shafer Wilkerson who was fantastic and very talented. Will definitely be back for the food, great staff and any entertainment they have in the future. Highly recommend this restaurant. August 26, 2025 D. Rollin”

“First time ever having Dutch Bros, I can’t remember exactly what the name of this drink is but it tasted amazing! I will visit again when I’m in town! I love my coffee iced!”

“I've never been to a truck yard, because I don't really drink. Came here for a memorial, and I think the atmosphere alone made for a nice change of scenery. I didn't try the food nor the drinks, so I couldn't rate that nor rate the service. But the location is really interesting.”

“Excellent Pad Thai! We ordered it with soup and Satay. Everything was good and the service was good too”

“McSwiggan’s accepts those of us with Scottish heritage as well, making us feel right at home.”

“very good customer service and the food was great”

“great place, good environment. plus food is amazing.”

“food was great and our waitress was very polite and helpful Brenda was helpful”

“the Chinese food was excellent and would get the tacos again”

“This location was remodeled and I love what they did. It appeared to be more modern, decor is astonishing, and well kept.

It has been a while since I have been to burger king, but the food was as I remembered some time ago. The menu was bright and clearly shown. The staff were friendly and polite.

Nice place”

“Very Nice and Relaxing Atmosphere”

“Nice little tiki bar, exactly what I was looking for. The drinks were phenomenal, especially the painkiller. The Singapore sling is a good one too. Also, the atmosphere is top notch.”

“Great place to eat and hang out with friends.”

“Ordered take out for special boneless chicken biryani, wow wow wow wow.. it’s better than the biryani at most places in Hyderabad, India

The moment I opened the box, the Flavours and aroma it was all over the house . I knew it might hit the spot, after tasting few bites. Wow the best Hyderabad biryani ever I had in USA, there is some magic in their recipe.

And quantity ? Wow it beats any other restaurant in Dallas or any other state I had , the rice ratio, chicken ratio , everything is more than sufficient for 2 people

The rice is perfectly dum rice , so flavourful, cooked to perfection and fluffy

And boneless chicken pieces with perfect amount of spice juiciness, complementing the perfect aroma of Hyderabad biryani rice. It was something else .

This will be my go to from now forHyderabad biryani.”

“The morning crew is fabulous, the afternoon/evening crew does not follow the recipe to make hot chocolate. It's completely wrong and different and not even hot. Barely warm. I'll only go in the early mornings from now on.”

“I not one to leave reviews at all .. but this Schlotzsky never disappoints .. i love the turkey original .. and they make these sandwiches so big and loaded down .. with all the goodies ; meat included .. I can’t finish the whole sandwich always save for dinner .. definitely try them out.. also they have a reward system .. if you scan your receipt you can get free sandwiches .. win win !!!!”

“🥰🥰🥰🥰🌷🌷🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰”

“I had great customer service at this location. I will defiantly be coming back soon.”

“Thank You Marcos. Delivering hot Pizza to our door, while we wait for the power to come back on.”

“Absolutely DO NOT recommend this place, thier woke staff or the drunken regulars who actually run the place! She is a super sjw Karen! Terrible service and if you don't like it the entitled 20 years olds will chastise you with "fairness" (her words) and attempt to speak down to you LOUDLY once you push back on the nonsense. Then super Karen will break out her phone to start videoing you and put it in yours or anyone at your tables face, follow you around and out to the parking lot until you have to call the police so you can walk to your car in peace! Can't bully or cancel me! If you're woke this is the place for you! Thank you to CPD! They where super cool and VERY professional about it all.”

“**Drunken Donkey – A Special Place Full of Memories**

Drunken Donkey in The Colony holds a special place in my heart—it’s where I met my husband on our very first blind date, and now, 101 months later, it’s still the spot we return to every fifth of the month to celebrate.

Beyond the sentimental value, this place delivers an outstanding experience every time. The atmosphere is lively yet inviting, perfect for unwinding and enjoying great company. Whether you’re looking for a cozy date night or just t hang out with friends.
Drunken Donkey never disappoints.”

“I really enjoy visiting the burger bar. I go for lunch during the week. Chill atmosphere, but the service is OUTSTANDING. Food is also always delicious. 10/10 would recommend.”

“Amazing milkshakes and ice cream! We love this place!”

“If your looking for a twist on pizza than this is the place. Unique version of pizza was incredibly delicious. Non spicy version including kids menu she spicy version. You can taste how fresh the toppings are, perfectly cooked with a crunchy bottom crust. Highly recommended! Only catch is the price is high but worth a try to surprise your taste buds. Will definitely go back and bring everyone I know.”

“The team is outstanding. It was freezing weather, and the manager and all the members on board were doing everything they could to provide the wonderful Popeyes flavor we were craving!
Thanks, everyone!!”

“Great food and drinks, many choices, always harder to have great svc with a large group vs serving 2 to 5 people. Atmosphere was a regular restaurant - TV screens, but no special view or romantic or something that makes it more than average, and not looking for something special. I guess I should just leave it with no stars - don't know what I am supposed to do with thar category.”
