“When entering the establishment I was greeted by three attendants behind counter. They all had welcoming smiles and was ready to assist with the menu. The customer was very inviting. I love the atmosphere. The restrooms were clean and so we're the tables. The food was good; however, the classic chicken salad was a little dry. Otherwise I had a fantastic visit. You all should stop by.“

“Hot juicy and perfectly cooked. The owners are absolutely the nicest and caring folks ever. I ordered 2pc and casually mentioned I was referred by friends in the neighborhood and whether a thank-you or a mistake I got home with an extra chicken breast in my box, either way classy, classy and certainly worth every dime. Please support your local small businesses. Ill be back for sure.“

“From the moment we arrived Welles took care of us and throughout the stay we had exemplary service. We have stayed at Hilton’s around the world and this one will be in my top 5. The room was wonderful, food amazing and pool outstanding. The Fourth of July brought many challenges but they made it look easy. Thank you Southlake Hilton for making our stay a fabulous memory.“

“Good food & service but pretty pricey so not a good value. Even though charging premium prices, all condiments on table were of the cheapest kind, loaded with toxic high fructose corn syrup and a nasty butter substitute with soybean oil and a chemical cocktail of other ingredients. Lord only knows what kind of sub-par ingredients go into the food. For prices you charge, you can do better than this!“

“Had a lot of fun. I spent my first time there for my birthday. The food was good, the drinks were strong and the karaoke was a blast. The patrons were very nice to my singing lol. I like a lot of 80s music and it clashed with the vibe of the restaurant but everyone there I think was just happy to have someone sing.
Definitely will be coming back again soon“

“My family and I have been dining here for over 10 years. We love it! We love taking new people with us to check them out! Their pancakes are amazing. Their staff is polite and always willing to suggest tasty menu items! You definitely want to check out their decor, they love to support the local veterans and school! A lovely small town feel cafe for the up and coming River District.“

“Customer service!! They know how to treat their customers“

“Amazing service! Fast friendly clean and wonderful service. We came in right as they were closing. Y’all have to understand we had been in line at the Fort Worth stock show for nine hours. They kept the registers open. They took a massive order. They got it all right my kids who are exhausted are now going to bed full and happy and mom and dad are blown away by the amazing service. If you’re ever in Fort Worth check this place out you won’t go wrong.“

“Great place to talk business in an intimate setting after a long day! The staff was wonderful and I cannot rave enough about the manager, David, who took the time to talk to us and give us feedback on our group (as we were filling the bar all night, every night due to a business trip). He was very informative and respectful, even when going around to each individual group to respecfully and kindly tell us that the bar is closed and that we needed to go. 10/10 will be coming back when in town!!“

“a great experienci for me!.. exquisit food“

“It's really expensive and service was okay. The server seemed super busy elsewhere and hardly came to our table. Our food arrived, but they forgot my latte, so I waited a good while for it. Server apologize and said it was on the house. The food was good though.“

“First time there, I’ll Be Back!!!“

“Had a wonderful egg white omelete breakfast before leaving to return home. Will differently recommend to everyone!“

“I've been employed with Nana's since June and it's been nothing but joy. I've been in the service industry since 2011 and I can't think of a better place that has treated me like FAMILY!! The team working here is the FAMILY!! The customers who dine at Nana's Kitchen are the FAMILY!! The atmosphere is energetic (live DJ on weekends) and the food will keep you coming back for more. I am absolutely hooked on the black eye peas, greens, pinto beans and Mac and cheese!! Don't get me started on the fried food items 🙌🙌🔥🔥 Catfish filets are my favorite. The fried pork chops, wings, and juicy tenders are all amazing!! Cakes and pies are delicious. On Sundays Nana's Kitchen serves her special menu of Oxtails over rice, Smothered turkey wings, Beef tips over rice. Chicken spaghetti is also a fan favorite!! When you come to Nana's Kitchen you'll leave with a belly full of food and a heart full of love!! But hey, don't believe me...come see for yourself. We're open Wednesday -Sunday. See ya there!! ❤️“

“We have dined here many times over the last 10+ years. Service is generally pretty good but lately it seems like the food quality has gone down a little bit. The food has never been strongly seasoned, but now it’s to the point where it clearly feels like it’s missing something.“

“I go there often to get mainly tender chicken good place to eat highly recommended

Parking: Plenty space to park

Kid-friendliness: It's a well known place for family meals

Wheelchair accessibility: Access to the place and the tables have access to replace chairs for wheelchair accommodation“

“Best spot ever!! In hurst ❤️👍🏼👍🏼🦾🦾“

“No air conditioning at theTehana Ridge Fort Worth store today. No sign on the door, no explanation. Customer ahead of me in line said the a/c was out last week as well. Very disappointed-I always enjoyed in store dining here. The kitchen obviously had electricity- we could see lights. And the refrigerator was cold.“

“good sales great stuff helpful staff fun shopping“

“Wife and I wanted to try Slim Chicken, we have drove by it many times but never tried it. Went to the drive through and was greeted by the most professional person I have ever ordered from. He asked if we have ever been here before and gave the best explanation of the menu covering every thing. With the detail of where we can find the sauces. His name is Caleb. (Management should give him a raise and place him in as head trainer or Management training)
I ordered crispy spicy chicken sandwich with fries. The fries were cold and the sandwich was good but a little salty for my taste. And a little on the high side.“

“First time at Golden Corral. Everything was great! Food, service and value!!“
