“We were at Red Robin today for lunch with 2 birthday's in our party and we had an amazing experience. We were very happy with our waiter Zachary. He was very accommodating even if things were running a little slow. Thank you for a fantastic lunch experience Red Robin 😊 very satisfied“

“Always great service and good food. This simple dinner has been around for decades, although I'm new to the area. As a single guy, I enjoy the friendly servers that lighten the day and get to know you. The food is consistently good. It's no high class place or special atmosphere, but it's a reasonable, friendly place to get food.“

“stopped by on a whim as I drove down west valley highway and I was very pleased with the service and food! ordered lumpia, crispy pork belly combo and a brown sugar boba and I was blown away! the crispy pork was beyond good! came with a Mac salad some diced veggies and a wonderfully flavored rice with green onion. the lumpia was freshly made and the boba complimented everything. 10/10 would recommend“

“Yes, the breakfast is obviously fantastic. Ma's is a staple. We have tried many items on the lunch menu as well and everything has been delicious. The home made potato salad is also fantastic. The prices can't be beat. That's the icing on the cake. It is a local hole in the wall with old school diner vibes. If you are ok with that, you're right at home. The lounge is amazing as well.“

The service is also so friendly and welcoming. The whole lodge is beautifully decorated, and will fit all your needs. Overall this is a great place and worth the membership!“

“Price can't be beat. I love the $1.50 Hot Dog and drink. I get the hot dog (without the bun for gluten free) and the ice cream. For my drink I get root beer and make my own root beer float. Where else can you get dinner and dessert for under $5? My frugal side loves this.

Dietary restrictions: Hot dog without the bun can be gluten free (be careful with cross contamination potential).“

“Mandy provided exceptional service! She was friendly, attentive, and made sure our entire dining experience was enjoyable from start to finish. She checked on us regularly, kept our drinks filled, and made us feel genuinely welcome. Her positive attitude and professionalism really stood out. It's clear she cares about her customers and takes pride in her work. Thank you, Mandy, for making our visit such a great experience—we will definitely be back!“

“Awesome Course but better staff!“

“Had 🤩 Fun & Played Games ,won Tickets , Bowled, had Breakfast & Family Time!!!“

“Cute bar and everything is less than 6 bucks…hence the name. Great low key place to catch a sports game, cable and large TVs available for your viewing pleasure. Good variety of beverages and top shelf options. Did I mention everything is under 6$??“

“Food is okay but would probably be better if the overwhelming smell of industrial cleaner and pine sol wasn’t permeating off the floor and booths. The cook was cool the guy at the counter was also cool and attentive but the smell made literally physically ill to where I threw up all of my food as soon as I walked outside.“

“It was an amazing experience when I went with my mom, dad, and little brother. It was a very positive atmosphere and the staff was very kind and helpful seeing as they would check in with me and my family to see how things were, ask if everything was okay, etc. All with a positive attitude and timely manner! I recommend this Denny’s as it is very kid-friendly, has good timely service, and is very positive all around!“

“Trevor was an amazing server. It was about 25 of us and he did an amazing job getting everyone what we needed and in a timely manner. He missed extra napkins but it didn't overshadow all the other request we had as large group. Thank you Trevor!!“

“This is my favorite restaurant at this mall. Arwa is the owner and she always have a great smile. She is great and she makes me laugh every time I come here. Her food is 100% clean and fresh. I love the food here. I suggest everyone to come here if you haven’t had it!!“

“Attentive, very personable staff despite being short staffed! We ordered breakfast, which came out quickly and piping hot. Eggs Benedict and Taco omelet were great! Great local spot to support. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Unique pour your own. Relax atmosphere.“

“I rarely eat at Applebee’s, but the staff at the South Hill Mall location just earned a regular customer for life.
​During a chaotic, busy holiday shift, a customer at a nearby table lost her mind—screaming, throwing her plate, and verbally abusing the staff. The server, Krystal, and the manager, Pamela, handled this volatile situation with an unbelievable level of grace, dignity, and cool-headed professionalism. Pamela fiercely protected her server, defused the chaos, and even took time to comfort another guest who was left shaken up by the scene.
​It is rare to see such outstanding leadership and composure under pressure. Krystal and Pamela are absolute rockstars and a massive asset to this company. Give these women a raise!“

“The Fish and Chips were great. Good quality Cod and a thin crip coating. Huge pieces. Yum!“

“I was there to day and a man went in to the women's bathroom with a bunch of kids in there and I called him out of the bathroom and the manger and security protected him and said I was in the wrong and that he could us the bathroom. there was a family bathroom he could have used. this dave in buster is messed up in it's believe and anyone who supports this is messed up to. there was a women who took her son in to the family bathroom and he was five. this is how it should be. no MAN SHOULDN'T GO IN TO THE GIRLS BATHROOM PERIOD. SO I WILL NEVER GO TO THIS DAVE AND BUSTER AGAIN.“

“love love love this place, please come check it out if ever in auburn!!!!!!“

“I LOVE Shelby and Michael they're the usual tenders when I'm here. the food hits everytime, Michael generally has a recommendation for the seasonal on tap, hasn't disappointed at all. caskades has pinball and lots of fun events every month, and family friendly. THANK YOU FOR BEING AWESOME“

“The wings are best in King County!!“

“Sitting in my all time favorite place in Washington State. Sharing a Chicken Salad sandwich and chips with Hubby. As usual, this Bistro offers the best in atmospheres. Good service, friendly staff and always clean, even when busy. But most of all it is the feeling of being treated the same as if I was a regular customer. I live in Eastern Oregon and don’t get to eat here as often as I would like. I promise you will not be disappointed by giving this warm, friendly FRESH FOOD serving family friendly, lively place a go. Great coffees, drinks and food served by great people. Love this place.“
