“Me and few friends came in to this Olive Garden and we heard bad things about this restaurant but I don’t care what I heard at this point. We had the best waitress, I think her name was Shae or Chaylen. She is the reason we will be back. The only thing that left a bad taste in our mouth and almost brought us to the point of saying something to the Manager was some young kid that worked there was talking bad about our waitress behind her back to our table. Which I thought was so unprofessional. So to the young lady that we had, if you see this. Thank you for being a bright smile after we all had a long day at work. As for Olive Garden, train your people to be more professional, you are in the service of customer care, not petty stuff like talking someone else down to lift yourself up.“

“The turkey muffaletta was great as always. This is a delicious sandwich with olive tapenade and I highly recommend it. There was an error with my online order and when I sent the owner feedback, he graciously sent me the purchase price of my meal plus a little bit extra on a gift card. this is the way to take care of people and I will definitely return to Jason's deli again without a doubt! The food is always wonderfully fresh and consistent and you should do yourself a favor and go there today!“

“Chick-fil-A’s Smoke & Soul Combo

I didn’t just eat this meal. I experienced it.

The moment the tray hit the table, I knew this wasn’t fast food—it was fast fine dining. A symphony in Styrofoam. I’m talking curated balance: spice, sweet, smoke, comfort, and chill.

Let’s begin with the Spicy Smokehouse BBQ Bacon Sandwich, tucked inside that warm toasted bun like a secret. The filet had a beautiful crunch, layered with smoky bacon so thick it curled at the edge, and a rich BBQ sauce that didn’t overpower—it complemented. Then there was that Colby-Jack melt, slightly tangy, grounding every bite. This was heat with harmony, not chaos.

Slide over to the Mac & Cheese—golden, molten, and unapologetically creamy. You can see the caramelized cheese crown on top like it came out of grandma’s oven, not a commercial kitchen. It had that soulful baked edge and smooth center swirl. Every spoonful was a hug.

Then the Waffle Fries—golden, crispy, ridged like potato armor. That crunch? Impeccable. And let me speak on that Heinz Dip & Squeeze packet like it’s an innovation out of Silicon Valley. Peel for dip. Tear to squeeze. That’s ketchup tech. That’s love in a red suit.

Now, the drinks. The Pineapple Dragonfruit Sunjoy was ruby red and glowing—iced to the heavens, just sweet enough, no syrupy aftershock. Sipped like summer in a glass.

And that Frosted Pineapple Dragonfruit Lemonade? Look, I’ve had desserts. I’ve had drinks. I’ve never had a moment like that. It’s creamy. It’s cold. It’s tropical. It’s citrusy. It’s like somebody flash-froze a fruit dream and dropped it in my cup. That swirl of pink lemonade and ice cream was the mic drop of the meal.

The dining room? Packed. Quiet. Focused. Like a congregation. That’s the Chick-fil-A effect—hospitality without effort, flow without force. From the “My pleasure” to the precision of every item, you’re reminded: they don’t need Sunday. They win Monday through Saturday.

Would I change a thing? Not a chance. This is a five-star experience in a red tray world.“

“We always look forward to our visits here, even though we only manage to come every now and then. The excitement in our kids' eyes is truly priceless, and it's wonderful to see them having so much fun. This place has become a special outing for our family, filled with laughter and joy. Without a doubt, our favorite reason for coming here is the hibachi. The delicious flavors and the entertaining chefs preparing the food right in front of us make for an unforgettable experience every time.

Kid-friendliness: The chefs and staff are super sweet and friendly with the kids! They provide booster seats and high chairs, making things easier for moms. Our little ones happily share a kids' plate because it's so generous in size!“

“Chick-fil-A at Baylor's Student Union Building has been a staple of my campus experience. This quick-service restaurant has consistently provided delicious chicken sandwiches and nuggets, perfect for a busy student's schedule. Its location on the first floor of the Bill Daniel Student Center (SUB) made it incredibly convenient, especially when I was studying in the SUB or heading to morning classes.One thing to note is the menu's simplicity, akin to an airport selection. While it may be limited compared to full-scale Chick-fil-A outlets, the quality and taste of the food remain top-notch. The chicken sandwiches, in particular, have been a delightful and familiar comfort during my time on campus.What makes this location stand out is its commitment to sustainability, as part of a broader initiative within Baylor's dining services. Chick-fil-A at Baylor is part of a food court that includes other dining options like Freshii and Steak 'n Shake, offering a variety of choices for every palate.Whether you're looking for a quick meal between classes or a familiar snack while studying, Chick-fil-A at the Baylor Student Union Building is a reliable and enjoyable choice. The convenience, combined with the quality of the food, makes it a favorite spot for many students like myself“

“Shout out to Seth and Shannon for not only letting us show up last minute, but then going the extra mile to let us know that they appreciated us being there even so. It brought back nostalgia of a pre covid era when people actually cared about and appreciated the service they provided as much as the consumer. We’ll go out of our way to experience that from now on!“

“Consistent food quality and service at this location! Our favorite, easy breakfast spot. And this morning, I was so impressed with Jordan. He went to refill my hot coffee, but came back to apologize since it would be 4-5 minutes for fresh coffee. I declined to wait, but he quickly offered to get me another drink of my choice. I asked him "Even an iced coffee?" Yep, no problem and thank you, Jordan for great service!“
