SOMETHING SPECIAL HAPPENS AROUND A TABLE. At VIVO Kitchen, we set the table for that possibility every day. Itâs why everything on your plate was prepared only moments before it landed there, from ingredients brought straight from the source. Itâs why we

We stopped by Vivo on a Thursday afternoon - hitting it right to get it on the Happy Hour menu. Between the 2 of us, we tried 4 items: Mussels (very good, but not excellent), Pork Sliders (outstanding, esp since they are served with a side of french fries), Scallops (a little sandy and grainy, but the flavor was good), and Roasted Asparagus (very, very good). It was a nice vibe, and most of the prices for Happy Hour food were good. The prices on the scallops and mussels were high - and not really worth it. My husband had the Red Sangria and loved it!

This little place wasn't fancy but the food was great. Loved the waitress as well. Prices were reasonable ... had the corned beef hash that was prepared perfectly for our taste. Crispy on the outside. Hash browns were browned and crispy too. Everyones food looked delicious. Omelets looked wonderful as well. Not a fancy place but it was crowded with happy people. Great place for comfort food!Thank you! We are glad you enjoyed please visit us again soon.

I have had several meals, and tried multiple menu items at Baldy's. I have never had a bad meal or walked out of this place feeling unsatisfied. They have delicious BBQ and sides. The service is exceptionally friendly too.You can't beat Baldy's for a great meal close to I-35. I see so many travelers stopping at this exit and eating at one of the fast food options. For a few dollars and a few minutes more you could have first rate BBQ. Take the time and stop in at Baldy's.

Had an early dinner with hubby and in laws. Wait staff was very patient while we visited before ordering. Great burger with waffle cut sweet potato fries cooked extra crispy as ordered. Both soups were delicious as was the shared carrot cake - moist but no raisins

Went there for a business dinner. Drinks were ok, old fashion was ok, nothing special. Ordered the fish and chips and the fish was so thickly battered that I had a pile of the batter on a second plate. Waitress noticed it and just laughed. Apparently they did not realize that there might be a problem.
5. Cracker Barrel Old Country Restaurant

Although my title may be a broad comment, it's a positive overview. Cracker Barrel has savoury and hearty food varieties for all ages. When you first approach the building, you get the feeling of "Welcome Home" with a porch atmosphere with appropriate "Ma and Pop" decor lining the entire front side of the building. I recall visits when families are lounging in the rocking chairs enjoying the beautiful weather outside. Once you've entered the builiding, you can be overwhelmed the first time by the amount of "stuff" you see. It's a feeling of a horder's garage sale. The best part of this though, is that so many of the items are things you grew up on and can't find in yoru every day store. There are homemade candies and beverages. It's fun to walk through and see everything they have available while you're waiting for a table to be available. Once you've entered the dining room, you're surrounded by pictures and signs that bring you back in time. The food will continue that time travel experience.

I wanted to try the brunch. I had blueberry pancakes and hashbrowns and added cheddar cheese. My fella had blackened chicken lettuce tacos and he liked them. However my pancakes tasted really funny. They had an odd texture and terrible taste, like rubber. My fella tried them and he thought the funny taste might be because they made gluten free ones. I asked and was told it wasnt GF but we couldn't figure out the odd taste. I took 2 bites and left the rest. Hashbrowns were ok but how do you screw up hashbrowns. The waiter was very friendly. They took half off the pancakes, not sure why just half when I clearly didnt eat them. Also another negative was when a customer stated something is bad you should take the plate away immediately and not just let it sit there the whole time. I got a cinnamon roll to go. It was $6, not worth it. The cinnamon roll was very dry, cream cheese frosting was just ok. Ate a few bites and threw it out. If we went back I might try the regular food but wouldnt go back for the brunch.

We shared onion soup with a grilled cheese sandwich and mushroom sausage tortellini and really liked both. I don't like to order onion soup out because it tends to be too salty and this was exceptional. Very clean flavors and the multigrain bread for the cheese sandwich made it perfect for dipping. I also don't usually have tortellini but loved every bite and it was good cold.The backyard is really a friendly place and people had several well behaved dogs. They have a play ground set up for the kids in a fenced in area significantly set back from the tables. Great space for kids, within eyesight of parents but far enough away not to disturb other patrons. Enjoyed the live music and service was very good.

Expensive! We received a gift certificate for here. We likely would not have gone if not for that since we donât live near here. The steak was good, but only offering a baked potato or vegetable seemed a bit limited. We all enjoyed our meal. Lively environment and great service. Unfortunately we thought the prices were too high for the area and the ambience. Not going to be back.
