“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!“

“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!!!“

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!“

“Have driven past for a long time and have always wanted to go. Chris was our server and he was absolutely wonderful. We had the Devil egg sandwich, Mac n Cheese, the farm Italian, broccoli cheese soup, and lemon cheesecake. All the food was great. The atmosphere is a really cool old building with exposed stonework and you feel like you have gone back in time. We accidentally left our leftovers there but will be back. Again shout out to Chris as he was one of the best servers we have had in a while. Checked on us consistently and made sure everything was to our liking.“

“The food on today was good except the dressing It was very dry; it was inedible. My one complaint about this restaurant is they never get your order right. And the female cashier this evening around 4 pm 022625 was unfriendly; when I told her that I didn’t get my muffin , soda and extra piece of fish. Bad customer service makes me not want to eat the food.“

“Will definitely come back again and again“

“We went there late because low options. We were all glad we did.“

“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.“

“Finally got the fish fry, well my husband did and I got the grilled cod, it was fantastic! My 2 pieces of cod were GIGANTIC and very flavorful as well. Busy place and a really friendly bartender who helped us while picking up our food. Will be back to tey other things!“

“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.“

“Wow, what a great restaurant! The cozy bar area, great staff, wonderful food. I just moved to the area, and I'm looking very forward to becoming a regular.“

“Boerner Botanical Gardens was the perfect setting for our two-day gathering, and the experience exceeded every expectation. From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make our group feel welcome, and it showed in every detail, from the beautifully maintained grounds to the way the florals brought the whole space to life. Watching people from all over the world come together during our event in such a stunning setting, surrounded by nature and each other, was truly something special. The team was a pleasure to work with from planning through the final day, professional, warm, and clearly proud of what they've built at Boerner. We're already looking forward to visiting again, and we can't recommend this venue highly enough for anyone planning an event.“

“Found this place on a whim by searching food near me on our way home from St. Lukes. We checked out the menu and were sold! I must say the food was hot and tasty! I had the Onion Burger, My friend the Bang Bang Shrimp Tacos. The serving size were plentiful. We will definitely be back and we'll spread the word !! Keep it Up!!“

“This was our first visit to this location and we will be returning, thanks to the exceptional service, friendliness and food quality. The power went out at the Hales Corners location so we headed over to Franklin hoping it wouldn’t be the same case there. It wasn’t. We were immediately greeted warmly by Julie the minute we walked in.

Julie and Beth exemplify what customer service means. All our food was cooked to perfection and we can’t wait to go back for those delicious pancakes in particular. Thanks again Julie and Beth!“

“And this is why I think I am a Google reviewer because this is what I see every time I come to dine fine food fine service and a great atmosphere.

Yes students are the ones performing all of the services so under the instructor they have to give Superior dining maybe I need to stop comparing places like Texas Roadhouse to this LOL.“
