“The burgers are awesome!!“

“love the food and friendly owners!!“

“Food is always really good, but prices have increased and portions decreased. My main issue is when you order a barbecue sandwich to go you would like to get barbecue sauce. Nope, not in the bag. So today I ordered another barbecue sandwich to go was told they would make sure I got barbecue sauce this time... Nope!! What is a barbecue sandwich without barbecue sauce???? 🙄🙄 Next time I want a barbecue sandwich...I will go to Smokey Mo's. But, food is usually really good.“

“Absolutely wonderful home style food with amazing service!! I eat here at least once a week and sometimes twice. Fish Friday is amazing and is my favorite day!!“

“My server was an amazing black lady name Kimberly she had the best recommendations fast service stayed on top of my drink made sure my food was good and the way I wanted it made sure I was happy and enjoyed my meal to the fullest by far the best and most friendliest service I've ever had in the state of Tennessee and I highly recommend everyone stopping in and requesting her as your personal server because she is the best Applebee's has to offer by far even better then the food there should be more hard working amazing friendly woman like her in the state maybe it would be a better place... great job Kimberly I'll defiantly be coming back just to have you serve me again.....“

“We picked this hotel because of its proximity to the Metro. Honestly you don't even need to go outside (except under an overhang) to catch the train. We were recognized at the front desk as diamond members, and given a room on an Executive Floor. Wonderful larger than usual room. One limitation was that we hoped to ask our housekeeper for extra decaf coffee in the room, but she did not speak English. She gave us herbal teas instead. We didn't feel strongly enough to pursue it. However, her housekeeping in our room was impeckable. Fresh towels every day! The executive lounge was a welcome respit as usual. I've seen reviews that state that the food was a bit repetitious and boring and sometimes lukewarm. That was true. Yet it was always substantial and we were so thankful for it. It took me a couple days to figure out the expresso machine, but that too we did not ask about. Evening hors d'ouvres were nice to have. We parked on the property and there were no issues. We felt welcome and that they were there to serve us everywhere we went in the hotel. Thank you.“

“jerry is the absolute best server ever. he’s always in such a great mood- he makes my day better every time! his light truly shines! also very attentive- i never have to wait on anything! 100/10!

i also go to longhorns everywhere. this is BY FAR the best one ive ever been to & very consistent! my steak is always cooked to perfection!“

“A decent store with decent food. Junk food but decent junk food. It's hit or miss if they'll follow your request for customization like add mustard, no mayo, or extra pickles please. Still, a decent place to eat and one of the few good local places left we don't mind supporting.“

“I just had the best burger I’ve ever had in my entire life Better than pals, five guys, or anything else. I’ve driven by the place a thousand times…. Today was my first time going I had the southern burger And I can promise you this… I’ll be back.“

“special chili, cornbread, BLT. cornbread was northern style but the tea was spot on. beans were better than some others I've had recently. sammich had a bug. wall had a Confederate flag sign. "the only reason I have it up there, is some lady gave it to us after her son died." pathetic owner took sammich off bill I look forward to a return visit to see if the tasteless, thoughtless, careless, pride less, value-less decorations are improved. personally I don't care about the bug, I understand, that happens. we need farms, yeah? but it's *checks* it's the year of our Lord 2023 and we should be better than that by now. 12-6-23 ~1pm“

“I love this place. RedRum Mc's Holston River Chapter comes in on occasion and sets at the bar. Every single time we are there, we get the best service. My husband and I also come without the Chapter and it's always so good. Shout out to the bar tender who serves us and the cook! Knocking it out!!“

“Couldn't sleep so my wife and I went to Waffle House for breakfast. Food was good, price was good and service was even better!“

“I know this is technically a chain restaurant but this location has so much individual personalities and weekly specials. From the management, bartenders, servers and back of the house you are treated like friends. The weekly food specials are always a great addition to the already great menu. I look forward to eating here and enjoy bringing guests.“

“Tina and Her employees are always so nice and the food is very good. The meatloaf and chicken casserole are my favorite. There delicious. Tina's cakes are the best I have ever had. I woukd highly recommended maple leaf if you like home cooking.“

“i absolutely love staying here. Will be staying again in a week for a convention. The workers were amazing. Rooms were clean. Everyone was so nice!“

“Date with the wife. Watched the rest of the Tennessee ballgame.“

“We ate here on May 18th we took our son here to celebrate him graduating . We had to wait for about 30 mins but we knew that and understood. Our silverware was a little dirty, the food was delicious however when our food was brought out to our table my steak medallions wasn't ready I was told they ran out and had to cut more and it would be a few more minutes. I just got a to go box for mine. So overall the only complaint I would have would be the silverware and having to wait a little longer on my food was all. The food was amazing and our waitress was very nice. This was our sons first time eating here and he's already talking about eating there again.“

“Great folks & really good food! We certainly enjoyed our visit & we probably had a group of 20+ people.“

“I ordered here for the 1st time. Drive Thru experience was good and fast. Food wise fries were the steal of the show, amazing crunch, and seasoning. I give them a 9.2
Chicken was crispy and flavorful. Only gripe, they were kind of small to my liking. But I give them an 8.6
Bread was nice and toasty a solid 8.4
Sauces I got their signature spicy. Solid 8.8
Also got there sweet heat that sauce was amazing. I give it a 9.4
Overall experience was a solid 8.9. I will definitely come back and try other menu items. I definitely recommend this place. The only other fast food chicken joint this good is Chic Fil A.“

“Food was cold. Chicken was dry and the breading was hard. Slaw tasted like it was just cabbage and mayo. Of course we were there close to closing time so maybe that was why. Normally the chicken is awesome. The tea was really good as always.“
