“Good food. Excellent service.“

“Carpenter’s Cafe & Catering is an amazing restaurant. The food, atmosphere, and service is outstanding. Carpenter’s Cafe & Catering truly is a gem in our Fort Worth community!“

“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!“

“Chicken Salad Chick is a great spot for a quick, tasty meal! The chicken salad was fresh, flavorful, and packed with quality ingredients. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and attentive, and the restaurant was clean and inviting. The portions were satisfying, and there were plenty of delicious options to choose from. Definitely a place I’d happily visit again for the broccoli salad alone!“

“Cole was incredibly kind, positive, and intuitive with his customer service. Before I could even ask for a glass of water, he had already anticipated it and brought one over. As I was leaving, he did the same thing again. Those small gestures make a big difference when you’re traveling and working at the same time.

Nelly, Veronica, and Haley also went above and beyond to help me find my glasses. They not only helped search for them, but made sure they were brought to me while I was in a meeting.

These kinds of gestures go beyond customer service. They’re genuine acts of kindness that remind us how meaningful human connection can be, especially when you’re away from home.

I truly enjoyed my time at the Hilton Dallas/Southlake Town Square and The Henley Kitchen & Bar. The team made me feel genuinely cared for, and I would absolutely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a true home away from home.“

“First time going here! SO GOOD! Was hesitant to try for several months but so glad we finally did. Absolutely delicious and so many different menu options. Great value and quality of food compared to all of the cheap, processed, fast food places out there.“

“This place has the best food (all of it - the chicken, catfish, pork chops and all the sides), generous portions, reasonable prices, and the most friendly and courteous staff. Always hot and fresh and seasoned just right... Best Greens hands down!!“

“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“

“The food and service is always amazing!“

“Brought my friend here to tag along with me and she is a vegetarian so she didn’t want to get anything. they gave her a bag of free broccoli salad and pasta salad etc and I thought that was just so considerate and accommodating! This was the best chicken salad i’ve ever had“

“Went at 12:30pm on a Sunday and Brunch was SO good. Great decor & ambience. Food was so good! Service from Colby was wonderful! Angie is great too! Out of town friends from Australia LOVED it!“

“Great little breakfast spot. Food is always delicious. Decent prices, and friendly staff. It is one of our go-to breakfast places. The Kitchen Sink Omlet is my husband's favorite, and he raves about the home made salsa. I typically get eggs/bacon/biscuits with gravy and its always cooked perfectly. And not too many places know how to properly cook grits, but this one does. Go. You won't regret it.“

“Good food. My family and I have been coming there for many years. Great steaks. My son and I had the 6 oz sirloin , bk potato and the side salad last night. The sweet tea was great!“

“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.“

“First time there, I’ll Be Back!!!“

“I have to say the service was incredible. We had a Very short time for lunch. We ordered ahead of time to insure we could eat without to much of a rush. The hostess was so helpful. We sat down with water on our table waiting and she turned us over to the waitress. Before we could get our napkins on our lap the food arrived at the table. Hot! Delicious! Service with a smile. Thank you for making our lunch enjoyable.“
