Cracken's Grill
American restaurant
👍👍 Super clean shop & yummy food! Honey Mustard Chicken Sandwich wasn't just a Sysco chicken breast on a Sysco bun. The fried chicken was cooked fresh and seasoned well. The bun was a fluffy, tasty kaiser (I think?) with corn meal on top! Staff is super nice. Menu board is positioned a bit awkwardly, b...

HOT & ROLL food truck
Mediterranean restaurant
👍👍 Saw the perfect 5 star reviews and got intrigued, have to say it’s MORE than deserved. The fries were perfectly crispy and the special sauce was great. The tzatziki sauce was the best I’ve ever had, actually killer. All in all the food was bussin, the prices are reasonable, and Ali is that guy, supe...

Ramen Belly
Authentic Japanese restaurant
👍👍 Literally everything we tried here was delicious. The short rib appetizer had just the right amount of chew and exploded in flavor, the pork belly was incredible, the brisket fell apart on the chopsticks, and even my not-very-adventurous parents loved their chicken teriyaki rice bowls (and everythin...

Mesa 503
Salvadoran restaurant
👍👍 Having dinner at Mesa 503 was a very good experience. This is a small, simple restaurant with friendly, patient help. We enjoyed several types of pupusas, ribs, a chicken tamale (had potato and green pepper in it, wrapped in a banana leaf) and plantain with crema. Excellent - not greasy, tasted fres...

Da Flava Unit Xpress
New American restaurant
👍 First time trying here and the customer service is really good 🤌🏾 the lady is really nice and helped me with some other things because I’m new to the area. The food was good I ordered the jerk chicken, rice, and plantains. Only thing I would say is the rice was a little too smoky and dry for me b...

The Black Angel
American restaurant
👍👍 Food is tasty and prepared well. Slim menu, which is always a good sign (I don't trust restaurants with huge menus). Po' boys are a good choice, as are the Perez tacos. Has the same problem as every other restaurant in town- not enough wait staff-so service is slow. Bar is well-stocked, bartender se...

I wanted to share some feedback regarding our most recent experience (last Monday), everything was great e...

🫤 The food here is always really good. I have never had an issue with the food but there is a worker that’s always there that is very rude always. I have gone here countless times and it’s such consistent rudeness I wanted to say something so hopefully it can be fixed. Another thing that happened that...

Sushiya Hoja
Asian restaurant
😠 I ordered the Spicy Thai Curry Chicken Stir Fry. I expected something along the lines of Japanese curry, or curry sauce with chicken and rice. What I received was an unseasoned veggie mix, with chunks of chicken, and a pound of white rice on the bottom. No seasoning, NO curry flavor, and a ton of ga...
