“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“

“Taylor is the best. I was given her stores number as the District Managers number from Zach at the store in Allen after her refused to remake my order that was delivered wrong. Anyway Taylor without questions rectified the situation. I will no longer be order from the Allen location I will now be giving The Colony location my business.“

“👍👍👍👍👍Pete’s Cafe has officially become my go-to breakfast spot in the Carrollton/Farmers Branch area. The vibe is classic diner comfort, the staff is friendly and quick, and every plate that comes out of the kitchen looks like real home cooking.​ The breakfast here is outstanding. From Migas and corn tortillas to hearty omelets and toasted English Muffins, everything is hot, fresh, and generously portioned. Coffee is constantly topped off, and prices are very reasonable, which makes it easy to turn “let’s grab a quick bite” into a regular habit.​ If you’re in or around Carrollton and want a great sit-down breakfast instead of another chain, Pete’s Cafe is a must-try.“

“We came here for our first time today and it was so good. Slimy was our waitress and so attentive and sweet. Got the country breakfast and a piece of pie. Biscuits are so good and service was awesome. We will definitely be back.“

“Buen pollo y pescado empanado“

“We live ordering from CPC. Close by and great menu.“

“1000 times, YES. The chicken is delicious--the best chicken I've ever eaten--the portions are huge and the sides, banana pudding, cesar salad, fries. All delicious. The hand-made sauces range in heat and are all in-freaking-credible. 5-stars!“

“I visited Daqs & Oxtails for the first time during their Soft Grand Opening on 5/30/24. I love the vibe of the place. There was plenty of parking with indoor and outdoor seating. There was no hot food ready to purchase during my visit but I did buy the in-house banana pudding, hypnotic lemonade, Cake Daddy’s chicken salad, and the “Voodoo” flavor daiquiri. The servers were pleasant and professional, and the items were priced as I expected. Of all the items I purchased, the banana pudding was my favorite. I will definitely be returning to this spot for some oxtails, greens, yams, and cornbread soon! This spot is worth checking out!“

“First time here since I am from New York. My server was Angelina. She was great! Also the food was amazing!“

“My husband and I lived in Louisiana for 6 years and boy do we miss good Creole/Cajun food! Bayou Market never disappoints! The crawfish pies are my go to!“

“Great food and environment! The owners and staff were so welcoming! They warmly received us Packer fans with open arms (kinda) 😆 Highly recommend!!“

“They have a great vibe in here, everyone is nice. Food was hot and good. Wish we could have been able to dine it but unfortunately seating is not available just yet. My family enjoyed a bit of everything and it was all good. They didn't miss a beat. It's Soul food not fast food and it was straight out ya granny's kitchen. We had to try it before going back to Louisiana“

“The crawfish (especially the Who Dat style) are SO good. The charbroiled oysters are heavenly. We also love the hushpuppies and Jambalaya egg rolls! They have Happy Hour starting at 4pm, with specials on several menu items. The servers are all super nice and friendly. We always leave there happy and full!“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Brew City Kitchen & Cocktails with a large group of at least 15+ people. Marissa was our waitress, and she did an outstanding job! She was incredibly nice and handled everything with attentiveness and professionalism. Despite the size of our group, she ensured that everyone was well taken care of and that our orders were accurate and timely. Marissa's exceptional service made our dining experience truly enjoyable. Highly recommend!“

“What an absolutely wonderful experience! We stopped by Golden Chick and were blown away by how sweet and friendly the staff were. One of the ladies working went out of her way to give our dogs some chicken just because they were cute — that kind of warmth and generosity really made our day!“

“I love the food. The vegetables are the best. I love cornbread with my veggies but the cornbread muffins have absolutely too many/much Eggs.“

“Blues, and a plate of Caddo is something I never knew I needed.

I always walk past because it looked plain on the outside. I came in to a laid back counter and kitchen that felt more homey than restaraunty. It wasn’t too busy when I arrived. 2 or 3 couples and a few eating alone. Just the sound of guitar and harmonica playing through the speakers.

I ordered the tilapia and shrimp caddo plate with a sweet tea for $25. Grooved with the sound of the blues down to my seat in a comfy corner between a wall of Billy bass and a wall of water skis.

First smell and first bite of the food brought me straight to New Orleans and back. Im so thankful I can share this experience.

Great for dates or family outings to lunch/ supper.“

“Nice variety.. nice staff“

“One of my Go To comfort food places while traveling as I know I will get a good meal. Have been eating at Cracker Barrel locations since 1977 and have purchased items in the store from clothing to snacks to gifts.“
