We ordered the Big back, biscuits and gravy, chicken wings, and veggie omelet. It was absolutely delicious. It smelled mouth watering. The service was top tier. The environment was filled with good energy. The staff was professional and courteous to our needs. This restaurant is just excellent. Thank you for a wonderful experience.“

“You know what they say about first impressions, right? This place!!! Wow!!! To say I was impressed from the moment I walked in would be an understatement. From The smiling Hostess, to the table services… and then wait for it….. the FOOD!!!!! Outstanding, delicious, like yes, I am raving about this place. Ms. Freda was amazing from start to finish. I had #16! The white rice and beans, with the chicharrones, a thinly cut steak, a sausage chorizo, salad, plantains, and a taste of the yuca frita. OH MY OH MY OH MY!!! My hope really is that this place makes it for years to come and expands to other parts of the city! The design of the place has a vibe that invites you in to stay awhile. To enjoy the flavors of the food entries offered. Each one I have to imagine just as good as what I had. This being my first time there I left with a happy heart and a happy tummy! With a mind made up that I will be back! For more of this delicious and wonderful experience! I invite you to come. You won’t be disappointed! I promise!“

“Sarah N. was a wonderful server! She was friendly, smiling and accommodating even though the restaurant was super busy. Thank you for a wonderful dining experience!“

“Good burger,good service in a fun atmosphere“

“Absolutely amazing, all around! Food, service, everything. Shrimp sweet and delicious. Scallops silky soft and smooth, seared great and so tasty! Bacon wrapped asparagus is killer good. Prime rib sandwich is pillow soft, so flavorful and satisfying. Great garlic and herb butter seasoning on everything. I had a nasty respiratory infection a couple months prior, hadn't been able to taste much of anything for over two months... until coming here. I could taste the amazing flavor cooked into all of our items for the first time since getting sick. This was probably about the most satisfying dining experience I've ever had. Love it and can't wait to go back!!!“

“I stopped there today since I was in the area and saw it had good reviews and it did not disappoint. Atmosphere and service were great, staff was extremely friendly, and food (chicken capri panini and iced tea) was delicious! I will absolutely stop in again and will recommend to others!“

“Wonderful atmosphere and delicious food. The wait staff was very friendly and accommodating. We will definitely be coming back and it was great place to take our grown daughter for her birthday.“

“Hot House is truly in a league of its own. From the moment you walk in, it’s clear that this place isn’t just about the food or the ambiance—it’s about an experience that’s truly elevated by their exceptional hospitality. The staff goes above and beyond in every possible way. I was blown away by how accommodating they were, anticipating my needs before I even had to ask. It’s rare to find a team so in sync, and it speaks volumes about the strong culture they’ve cultivated here. Every interaction, no matter how small, was met with genuine warmth and attentiveness. They’re not just serving customers; they’re creating lasting, meaningful connections. It’s refreshing to see a business so tuned in to the needs of its guests. Clearly, Hot House knows the importance of putting people first, and it shows in every detail. The standard they set for hospitality should be the benchmark for the industry. An absolute must-visit!“

“Liena was an amazing server and gave genuine reviews of our questions regarding multiple menu items. She had an awesome energy from start to finish and was super accommodating to all our request. Would definitely request her as our server on our next visit.“

“great food ..service and fun environment!!!“

“Amazing hidden gem. The building has to be one of the oldest in the area. Food is soup, salads, and sandwiches, but all unique and very tasty. Only difficulty is the hours, they are only open until 2pm. Highly recommend checking out this quaint little local restaurant.“

“Lovely long time diner located in Thurston Woods neighborhood. The Hoppel Poppel is excellent, as are the country fried steak and biscuits and gravy. Polishing off an already big, healthy meal, you can't resist their fresh cinnamon rolls.“

“Will definitely come back again and again“

“Just had the best breakfast at Ted’s Ice Cream & Restaurant! If you in the area of 62nd & North you have to try it! Excellent Eggs Benedict and huge strawberry covered pancakes! You can see why they have been in business since 1941.“

“Wonderful gem in Brookfield, off the beaten path. Perfect location, close enough to metro area,but far enough away to give it a friendly neighborhood bar feel. Staff are friendly, efficient and professional. Had a small get together there and it turned into a bigger party than expected. I was impressed by how the waiting staff were able to accommodate us and make everything work out, very impromptu ! The food is exceptional and priced reasonably. NOT UNDERSTAFFED, so the service is very prompt and effective. Friendly atmosphere 🤗“

“To start, our server Harry was ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL! We had a table of 9 show up unannounced and we were promptly sat, all together! Our food was amazing! The environment was so inviting and comforting! Overall it was a great experience!“

“Great food and great service. Mary Margaret was our waitress and she was SUPER“

“We used The Suburban Bourbon / Three Legged Pig for our Wedding on 9/3 at the South Shore Pavilion in MKE and I cannot recommend this place more, 10 out of 10! We ran into a catering glitch 2 months before the big day and found this business- the owner Pete swooped in to save the day! He was extremely responsive, helpful, friendly and FUNNY and helped make it one of the best days ever! Everyone LOVED the BBQ, mac and cheese, CHIPS and late night paninis. The food and service was SPOT ON! They also accommodated our vegetarian and GF friends :-) I will always call this a serendipitous encounter and I am so happy to have found The Suburban Bourban/ Three Legged Pig/ Pete and the whole crew, thank you all!“

“George Webb’s is one of the truest last forms of what I like to call a “Burger Joint”. We started coming to the Franklin location when we moved here about 12 years ago. My son, who’s autistic, quickly took to Beth and she’s well know in this house and his fave waitress. The staff is always a pleasure to converse with and they treat their guests as if they’re family. Loved G. Webbs since my dad took us to the one in Racine when I was a kid. Don’t change a thing!!!!“

“The food was good, but they have a take out charge that there's no signage for and it's automatically done. To say the least, I was surprised if I had been informed before I had ordered, I may have decided to stay. Now I'll ask to see if there's a charge and if there is. I won't get takeout from them again.“

“😃Great place to eat. Good service.“

“Peaceful, healing, nurturing. A massage at Nourish always renews my body and soul! Thank you, Melissa!“

“My family and I went here for the first time last week for our daughter’s birthday breakfast. The host greeted us with such a lovely smile and seated us in the best both! (In my opinion) The host briefly chatted with my daughter about their nails, which added to the homey and welcoming atmosphere. Our server Katie was just as amazing! She was so accommodating! My daughter was uncertain about ordering a drink she never had before and Katie was kind enough to bring out a sample before ordering it. Katie gave us the best experience and even went out of her way to take a picture of my daughter and I at their cute photo wall! The food exceeded any expectations we had and was presented beautifully. What a breath of fresh air this place is! We will definitely be back! 100% recommend!“

“Had a great visit with fiancé, we were shopping and the menu and reviews looked great. Will definitely return!“

“Excelente lugar, muy buen vino, comida exquisita, un servicio de calidad .“

“Food quality and service are both great for the price!“

“Found this place on maps. First visit and now a HUGE fan. I love a good gyro, and thats why I went. I was amazed at the price and size of the gyro combo. Good portion of everything (gyro, fries, and bottomless soda) for under $12. The tzatziki was exceptional IMO. Very thick and good flavor. You will not be able to pour or squeeze this on - it's like a solid. Clean and very friendly atmosphere. Order at counter with service to your table. Great crispy pita, very good shaved meat, tomatoes were fresh, and a good potion of onion. And no lettuce! I hate when a place puts lettuce on a gyro! Cannot wait to go back. FYI, the cup of dipping cheese for fries was only another dollar.“

“We ordered for the first time yesterday at Brothers Gyro & Pizza. The Pizza was the best pizza we had ever eaten. Best crust, best sauce, plenty of cheese and toppings. Perfect! Brother's will be a go to for us for pizza and I can't wait to try the gyro. ❤️“

“First time here was last Friday, Had the fish fry, and it was takeout, by the time I got home the food was still hot, juicy, and Outstanding!!! The fish was still so hot, and juicy, and still crispy, Hashbrowns so hot I had to wait to eat them, coleslaw, some of the best I have had in a while, I will be going back there again and again!!! Thank you for the soup samples today, your cheese soup is to die for!!!!!!“

“Family went for breakfast this morning. Lexi was an awesome waitress. She was friendly, polite and took great care of us. The food was all very good as it always is.“

“Awesome customer service and was very much patient, I rarely see customer service like this nowadays, she was very informative about the app and the deals that come with it, the only weird thing was the guy that put our food out for me to get LADIES BEWARE AND ALWAYS WATCH YOUR SURROUNDINGS…….. but overall it was nice excluding the cook incident……..“

“I always recommend Culver's for the Best Butter Burgers in Wisconsin. Never have I been disappointed in the quality or freshness of Culver's menu. They only problem I've ever experienced was getting order mixed up with someone else's order but Culver's has corrected that problem quite quickly with asking for a name to go with the order. That has worked out fabulously.“

“Great service. Love the food and drinks 🍹“
