“I ate breakfast at the Waffle House in Watauga, TX (Unit #2388) and I enjoy it! They were extremely busy, but they were very customer friendly and aware of the wait time. They kept things moving as best as possible. Savanah was my server and she was attentive, friendly, and quick.“

“Came in for date night with my husband and we were jivin’ for a good burger and cold beer. This place hit both cravings out of the park! Heather was our waitress, who was attentive but not helicopter-esque, and an absolute joy. Our burgers were cooked to a perfect medium, the veggies were fresh, and the sidewinders and potato wedges were plentiful. Be sure to come hungry - you definitely won’t leave that way! Cannot wait to come back here as it’s just down the road from the house!“

“They stay open later for us night owls“

“Nicole our server is AWESOME ! Our food was AWESOME as well.👍👍“

“We have been here a NUMBER (10+) of times. Brought several guests to share with, and have had the best experience every times. We have been here with our son, and alone for date night, and it’s been amazing each time. Julie was our waitress on this particular visit, but each waiter we have had has been wonderful. Each area of the restaurant gives a different vibe, yet much the same.

This is the ONLY restaurant that we clear plates each and every time. And we eat something different frequently. The bar staff is amazing, the management is great, and the CLEAN food is worth the money. 10/10 recommend.

We also had the pleasure of attending our second the sunset toast, and this time was to celebrate the engagement of an employee. What a treat!

Thank you HG Supply for including us in your happiness, and consistently providing an amazing dining experience. We will be back, of course!

“I look forward to this being a regular new spot for us! Beautiful place, food and drinks were fantastic, and service felt so personalized. We went on a weekday evening so it was less busy and the perk of that was that the chef came out and greeted us and checked how we were enjoying the food. Excited to go back and try more options on the menu!“

“We went to the Little Red Wasp for dinner. There were five of us. We sat at a 4-person booth w a chair in the aisle. I ordered the Brisket Reuben. It was very tasty. We didn’t opt for dessert. The others in our group enjoyed their meals. Would definitely recommend eating there.“

“🤩👏🏾🙌🏾 Great mission! Great volunteers! Great food! Great atmosphere!“

“Prices have gone thru the roof!“

“Just left and will never go back. Ordered a burger and didn’t realize until I had eaten several bites that a large portion in the middle was totally raw. Not just undercooked a little - totally raw. I chose to not send it back as I had consumed some of it but saved it to show the waitress. When she told the manager, the manager blamed her ( the waitress). I then spoke to the manager and she would not listen and kept insisting it was the waitress who was responsible. She talked right over me, and was downright nasty.She admitted she didn’t bother to look at the burger. No customer service skills whatsoever. I was not asking for anything just explaining it was not the waitress’ fault that the kitchen didn’t cook the burger. The waitress was very concerned and apologized. She did an excellent job of customer service.“

“The food and vibe were PHENOMENAL! The service was meh our server seemed irritated by us requesting refills on our drinks and the fact that our orders were wrong. We frequent the Dallas location often and prefer that locations service more but Ft Worth vibe is WINNING!“

“We were lucky enough to get a table for 3 at 6:30 on a Saturday night. I believe our servers name was Rudy (sorry if that's not right). Anyways he was great explaining the menu, his favorites, and popular dishes. We went with the gargonzola fries and the apricot brie with pita. Loved the fries but wish the cheese was spread out more over the fries. Only half the fries were topped which led to half just being normal waffle fries. Great taste and idea but execution could be a little better. I did not care for the brie but I'm not a fan of that. The rest of the table loved it so I would have to day it was good. Lol. I had the poblano burger for my entree. They cook it well done so I was worried but it was juicy and tasted very good. It was actually better than I expected! It also was served with fries. Washed it all down with the German pilsner which was really good and refreshing as well. Service was top notch and the pace of the meal was perfect. I highly recommend this place and I look forward to going back to try other dishes.“

“The lobster and steak and fried green tomatoes. first time visiting, and my husband and I are coming back. Excellent service. keep up the great customer service. WE LOVE IT! 😋😋“

“I love flower child to the point in which I genuinely want them to cater my funeral, but like why do I have to pay $2 extra for more chips whenever I get queso? The serving size of chips for the queso is equivalent to a small handful (or 1/4 of a small brown bag) while the queso is enough for 2-4 people so you’re forced to pay more money for what you should’ve gotten in the first place. I kid you not, when I combined two of my small bags of chips together (after paying $2 extra for an extra bag) it only made a little less than half a bag of chips. Did Jesus personally make these chips and then hand delivered them to you guys on a chariot? No. Then why am I not getting enough chips for my queso? :(“

“Food is always good. Staff is friendly. Down home atmosphere.“

“Good food and great service!“

“Great drinks and finger food. Even better service from the staff.“

“Great place for breakfast and the staff is wonderful. The food truck had not come in today so they were missing a lot of ingredients, but they were accommodating with what they had to work with and shared up front those missing items. What perplexes us, just not here, but the restaurants that charge for a little round thing of peanut butter. We were charged $.75 for the peanut butter but the jelly was free. They are both spreads and should be included in the price of a meal. Some places charge as high as $2 for the little plastic thing of peanut butter. Otherwise, good as usual. The other downside is lack of parking. The sign said complimentary parking for Paris customers and I entered the information in that was asked for.. ended up not being complimentary, but $7.50 making breakfast for 2 almost $60.“

“Good food and friendly service ❤️“

“I had such an amazing experience at Flower Child in Dallas! If you’re looking for a spot that makes healthy eating actually exciting, this is it. Everything felt fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully made — you can really tell they care about quality ingredients.

But what truly made the visit stand out was the service. Daphnie was absolutely incredible! She was so warm, attentive, and genuinely made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect and had such a positive, uplifting energy that made the whole experience even better.

It’s rare to find a place that nails both amazing food and exceptional service, but this location definitely does. I’ll 100% be coming back — and hoping Daphnie is there again!“

“Definitely a hidden GEM! The food was absolutely amazing!! The menu is huge and so much to choose from.“

“Only complaint is that some of the cooks use way too much salt!👍“

“Perfect "Ice House". Great food and prices. Cold schooners of beer and awesome margaritas. Lots of TVs and a few games for the kids after they get tired of playing catch or tag out back. Just a great local hangout for everyone.“

“We reserved a party room for a Bridesmaid's luncheon last Friday. Reata does an A+ job. Working with McKynlea was a delight. We chose a limited menu, including several delicious gluten free choices. She sent me a sample menu ahead of time for my approval. Carae was our waitress and did an exceptional job. We also had a table in the main dining room for half a dozen of the husbands who insisted on coming to have the special tamales, and bison burgers! They too loved the food and had excellent service. I cannot recommend Reata more highly. We live several hours from Ft Worth, and are looking for more opportunities to come again! Thank you Reata staff for adding to our wedding celebration. We are grateful.“

“My favorite place to gather, eat and listen to great music (wink, wink). Some of the best food anywhere. I love performing at The Brand Room and the staff is always friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is classy western and the owners are great friends. 5 stars!“

“We visited Chapps for the first time in over 15 years with our kids the night before Thanksgiving. We used to come here as teens and truly forgot how amazing their burgers and fries were. The food was extremely fresh and the service was above and beyond! Thank you to Justin who served us - he was phenomenal!“
