“My partner and I went to the Volvo Pkwy location in Chesapeake VA. The food was great! And, our server, Cheyenne, was the best! She gave us great suggestions when we had questions, was very attentive and kind. Will definitely go back.“

“it was good everything was nice and tasty I will be back again“

“Azza was great. She was very nice and friendly and the food was very good.“

“I've been here many times over the years and the food and service is always amazing. Love their mimosa flight and Greek omelet! Anywhere else I go for brunch, I will try to recreate this omelet but it's always missing something. The Egg Bistro has it exactly right. If you're planning on going on Saturday or Sunday expect a LONG wait but it's always worth it. Tip: you can grab a coffee or a drink at the bar while you're waiting!“

“The service was awesome and the food was awesome too! I highly recommend them!!“

“I love the food every time, it's a favorite on my list of places to eat. The cranberry cheesecake this Christmas was absolutely fantastic. I would order it year round if it was an option!“

“good people, great food, also great people“

“Went here for the first time so the food came very quickly the wings aren't seasoned it's just plain wing with sauce on it you can tell because you can taste both. The fries were Very Greasy, the burger does not look. Nothing like a picture. Didn't taste all that, but that crab dip was number one and those Peta chips, that was the best thing. I ordered and I would come back and order that again. It was so delicious anything other than that. I'm not sure what I try unless I'm drinking.Parking: Open lot“

“My wife and I are regulars at Woody's on Battlefield. We had dinner and drinks, listened and danced to the live music on a recent Saturday night. They can be crowded on nights when they have live music. We usually get there a couple of hours before the band starts. It is always a friendly atmosphere and fun experience. Servers, especially Brenna are highly customer focused and efficient.“

“My husband and I dine at Nix's today for the first time We walked in and was greeted warmly, we felt right at home. Our server was Steve, great personality and a great server. The food was prepare to perfection served hot and fresh!! We will return!!Chip & Winnie“

“I've lived beside it for 5 years and don't know why I never tried it. I'm glad I did. The food was not skimpy nor overly priced. The restaurant itself was very clean. The staff was friendly and quick. Even though we just had sandwiches, the food we got was fresh and really good. It was a great experience start to finish.“

“I came here a few weeks back and had the best experience ever! Today I brought my wife here for breakfast and she loved her food! The Atmosphere is pleasant and the staff were very friendly! The manager Carla Thompson is doing a great job! We’ll be back!“

“Delicious patty melt and the chocolate custard is AMAZING! I was disappointed that my onion rings order was missing and I didn’t notice til I’d already left. I was hoping to try them. Hopeful that little kinks like that and the wait time in drive thru will improve as they go.“

“Was fortunate enough to eat at famous uncle Al’s on national hot dog day. Great people atmosphere and great food. Always a must stop when we are down from Pennsylvania.“

“The great food, positive atmosphere, healthy options. You will get your money's worth.“

“Great food and of course ICe cream ❤️“

“We get there go inside nobody says anything sit down at a table. Sit there for about 2 minutes some guy walks by and says we close in 20 minutes. For a place that closed in 20 minutes there sure was a lot of people drinking, eating, and hanging out. Never going back.“

“The good was fantastic; however, or service was atrocious. Never have I had a server argue about an error before listening to what the error was. Unfortunately, the trainee was far better. Our family frequents Bubba's and we hope we will have a better experience in the future.“

“I am down in the local area for business and this place pops up as a recommendation.So first thing first, this place is inside the Ice Rink which is pretty awesome.Second thing is, if you are expecting Canadian style poutine, this might throw you for a loop. But give it chance.They use fried cheese curds and a beer glaze. But it's still pretty dang tasty.I will make this a stop whenever I am down here for now on.“

“The food is always good. Great nachos- love the hummus platter- and the DESSERTS are amazing!!! Wonderful family place!!!“

“I was very disappointed!! Steak was full of gristle, and for $40 well not worth it. The small piece I was able to eat was well seasoned and cooked ok, a little underdone for a medium piece of meat. The baked potato was cold and the asparagus soggy and limp! What a meal, the server did offer to cook another steak, but since I was with a large crowd did not want to be eating my meal when everyone was ready to leave, I declined and asked for an adjustment to my check, they gave me a $20 adjustment, wow!! I ordered a cup of she crab soup, which was tasty, $8. And, I had a coke. Ended up spending $50 since gratuity was added. As a way of compensation I was brought a banana pudding that the bananas were rotten in. On the positive side, my service was very attentive and friendly, so I did leave an addition to my already charged for gratuity. The ambiance is very warm and welcoming. On the down side, there is no seating for folks that are waiting to be seated. We were told we could go to our cars and be texted when our table was ready, or wait at the bar which had insufficient seating. Our table had been reserved over a month ago, but still had to wait to be seated since "our" table was currently occupied and they were waiting for them to leave, so 11 of us were all huddled up by the front door, with no seating. Going back to the cars was unacceptable, if you've ever seen that parking lot at dinner time you know why. I was very disappointed that I brought 10 other people and was under compensated. My husband asked when I got home how were things, I just said, never again. Now, in all fairness, this was not my first visit. My other visit was for Sunday brunch, equally unimpressed. Oh, and as an added note, the prices that were reflected on the menu were all ignored and we were charged more, without being told. I'm sorry this review is so unflattering, but I'm compelled to tell the truth especially when fine dining. It's all such a shame. I was embarrassed that I was responsible for bringing a large crowd, since I saw several things left on plates. What a shame. The stars do not reflect my review, site would not allow me to change number of stars, I’d say 2 stars.“

“The only thing better than the food at Red Tent Cafe is the people. Always welcome you like you are family. Burgers, sausages and the fried fish are extremely good. Do yourself a favor stop by and get you something good to eat. I'd post a picture, but my two burgers didn't make it home, lol.“

“We ordered a sandwich platter and chips for our in-office quarter-end catch-up day. We placed the order this morning, and it was ready for pickup at the new Hilltop location by 12:30 PM. Great service and delicious sandwiches.“

“Welp, where do I start. Chrissie is the main reason why I go to Long Shots. 1st time I got here. I felt like I was going to be treated as an outsider. NOT AT ALL!! She definitely made it feel like back home in Texas. (Homie). I will continue coming to this bar as long as she works! Also for those that don’t know this place or are interested in coming. You should definitely stop by. The Vibes are great and so is this Mixologist!I’m really bad at thank yous. But here it is!!“

“The atmosphere was chill, the food was delicious and we had a great waiter/bartender and didn’t have to wait to long for the food.“

“staff was friendly and accommodating. restaurant was clean and parking plentiful. prices were reasonable“

“We had not only great food but a great experience because of our fabulous waitress Ray-Ray and Chef Oscar and Chef Ray. The service, food quality, and presentation was first class!! Our only negative experience was with the bartender on arrival, she was quick to say that they don't provide service outside on the patio. I asked her for menus to take outside and we would return to place an order once out party arrived, she seemed to pause and hesitate but RayRay walked up and handed me the menu's. We found patio seating outside. Once the rest of the party arrived, hubby went inside to try and order beverages from bar for everyone. RayRay went above and beyond to get a tray and proceeded to carry everything outside for us. Instead of making us have to come back inside she took our orders (which was large) and not only did she return with a serving cart carrying the food but the Chefs came out and assisted. We call this first class service that is not seen a lot these days so we were very appreciative. Delta these individuals are 5 star and represented your establishment well. The bartender not so much, she is in need of customer service training or something ??‍♀️“

“Great service even though it was busy!“
