Marlow's Tavern

Reviewed By LonP_12

We usually sit at the bar but we brought some friends so we were seated at a table and glad we were. Our Server Anna was outstanding, funny and friendly. The salmon was one of the best I have had in a long time and my wife ordered the filet which you didn’t need a steak knife to cut it. Good atmosphere and location! Thanks so much for your thoughtful four star review! Anna is one of our best and we will be sure to pass along your kind words. Thank you also for the compliments on the salmon and the filet. We look forward to serving you again soon!

Bonefish Grill

Reviewed By nsmith36577

I’m a fan of Bonefish. Went in for a late lunch and experienced service as if it was peak lunch time. Didn’t expect the wait at the table to be as long. However, when we were finally greeted our server was very nice. Skipped appetizers since we expected to eat dinner later. The Dynamite Shrimp was very good and paired well with the jasmine rice. Would definitely get again!

We had a large group here on a Friday night from 5 - 7. They were ready for us! The service was excellent! And the appetizers are all $5 during Happy hour. Coconut Shrimp was excellent. Drink prices were reasonable. Many also like the peel and eat shrimp.

Papa Jack's Country Kitchen

Reviewed By Connector811315

The food is definitely what most call comfort food but what I was most comforted by was the friendliness and attentiveness if the staff. The place was spotless and the employees seemed to live the business and their coworkers; though lunch and dinner Are good Southern choices - breakfast really kicks it up a notch for this establishment; it’s definitely worth going a little out of your way or staying a little longer to get the Papa Jacks experience. I love that the owner rolls up His sleeves and works alongside his employees as well as taking time to stroll the dining area and greet both new and returning customers.

We decided to celebrate my birthday and son-in-laws birthday here. We arrived at 5:30 and had very little wait time for a table, there were 6 in our party. Our waitress was very attentive and explained the specials and menu to us. We placed our drink orders and received them in a timely manner. I tried the mango tea and it was wonderful. Husband enjoyed the fresh squeezed lemonade and we all loved the pickles we had before ordering our meal. We had a variety of meals, pot roast, burgers, turkey and dressing and fries. The burgers came with fries or onion rings, and the pot roast and turkey came with mashed potatoes w/gravy and carrots. The carrots were to die for. Cooked to perfection and tender. To finish up our meal we ordered several desserts and the two birthday celebrants got a bowl of ice cream with a huge cookie with a candle on top. The service was great as well as the delicious food. When we left, there was people waiting for tables and parking lot was full. Don't know if they accept reservations, but that would be a suggestion if you are dining after 5:00 or with a large group. Thanks to this establishment for making this a good birthday celebration for our family.Thank you for the great review! We pride ourselves on serving made-from-scratch food paired with genuine hospitality. We are so pleased to hear that we delivered. We look forward to seeing you again soon!

Ricos World Kitchen

Reviewed By 323tracys

I had the specialty burger. The good: —the meat: whatever the blend of meat is that they use, it is probably the best burger meat patty that I’ve ever eaten in my life. They cooked it PERFECTLY medium-rare. This patty was oozing with juicy flavor. It was hot. It was amazing. —the homemade pimento cheese: OMG that was genius to put that on a burger. It was so yummy and warm/melty. I loved it. —the fried green tomatoes: I had one on the burger and several as an appetizer. It had a lovely cornmeal crust. The bad:—sweet bacon jam: what the heck is so sweet? Is it pineapple? My mouth was utterly confused whenever I tasted it. Ick. It might work for other dishes, but not on this burger. It was completely confusing and distracting from all the goodness above. —the bun: man, did you read how juicy the patty is above? Well that means the bottom bun is going to be a soggy mess. Suggestion: slather a nice thick layer of homemade mayo on the bottom to try to protect the bun from all the juice. And skip that sick sweet jam stuff, even if it does have bacon. What a waste of bacon. —one shared restroom: the toilet was disgusting. Whichever men frequented the restroom couldn’t hit the broadside of a barn. Clearly you were not even trying. Again, disgusting. —the hummingbird drink: it was pretty boring. Very bland to me. I didn’t think it was worth the price tag at all. I’d get a glass of wine next time. —Sweet potato chips: I LOVE me some sweet tater chips. Except when they are sprinkled with... POWDERED SUGAR. What the?!??? Seriously, why would you ruin those beautiful chips? I tried 3 times to like them. They were a lovely width. They were perfectly crispy and crunchy. But that sugar ruined them! Ick.

I’ve been to this restaurant for breakfast and lunch and I’ve gone in just for the delicious bakery goods. The cookies, cake pops and petit fours are all to die for! You can’t eat just one. Not only are they delicious, but the baked goods are pretty too! The staff is helpful and patient while you make ‘tough’ decisions! Thanks so much for the great review! It truly means so much to us all here at The Baking Grounds!

This place has it all. Burgers, subs, Chinese, philly's...you name. It. We've tried them all, and never been disappointed. Order at the counter, and they bring it to you. Beverage bar, which kids seem to enjoy. Kind of hidden down in the hole in front of Wal-Mart, but worth your time.
