Tommy Tamale

Reviewed By CaptainFB - Argyle,Tx

This hole in the wall is owned and ran by Tommy who actually will greet you and welcomes input.

It's a money making machine with everything being in disposable dishes etc

The only negative is no cold beer.

We tried all the flavors for tamales and I personally ordered the Tommy Bowl.

That tamales, chili, queso, and pico on top. It had amazing flavors.

We will be back, but with beer cooler in hand.

Been looking for a good Italian restaurant and we finally found this one. Being an Italian New Yorker I’m extremely picky when it comes to Italian food. This place exceeded my expectations both in food and service. Our waiter, Tony, immediately made us feel not only welcomed but VIPs. Bruschetta was brought to us and we ordered the Caprese as an appetizer. So good! As the main course Tony suggested the specials of Chicken Venezia and the Salmon. Both came with green beans, risotto and 3 large shrimp. My husband and I loved both dishes. We couldn’t have been more pleased. We were so full we ordered the Tiramisu to go...another Yum! So happy to have found this place.

Ok so I waited a while to try this place and now have to turn my head and think about other things when I drive by because my stomach starts growling. I had pancakes with sausage in them. Yeah..probably the reason I am now on a diet. This place has so much on the menu you could lose your mind. Friendly quick service. Could use better lighting inside and outside as well. Reasonably priced, sadly off my list..for now.

Meat U Anywhere Bbq & Catering

Reviewed By Jody K - Fort Worth, TX

We took our young granddaughters for lunch. The staff greeted us, asked "Is this your first visit?" (Yes), and gave everyone a sample of the meats to try. The kids chose the Turkey, we took the brisket and sausage. Then they loaded us up with Turkey sliders and a side for the kids and a pile of brisket and sausage for each of us and a side. Plenty to eat for all. The bacon-jalapeno mac-n-cheese and the cole slaw were both excellent.
The dining room is not large, but we found a comfortable table for the five of us and enjoyed the food (no leftovers).

Noisy restaurant makes having conversation difficult. Lunch main courses were expensive but very large servings. The local oysters were fresh and briny. I had the grilled shrimp with creamy grits and corn which was delicious although slightly salty. The grilled shrimp and fish was excellent. Service was pleasant and efficient.

Near the Denton Square. The menu was huge. It was hard to decide what to get. I got a vegetarian sandwich with mozzarella, artichoke hearts, sun dried tomatoes and spinach. It was very tasty! My husband had a grilled club. They did not skimp on the meat. We both enjoyed our lunch. Sandwiches came with chips and a pickle spear. The restaurant was clean. We would happily eat here again.

Big Fish Seafood Grill & Bar

Reviewed By jdkrup77 - Paris, Texas

While we’ve been here numerous times and the food has always been top notch, this time we stopped by particularly for the oysters on the half shell. We’ve had oysters at many different places and gotta say, these are one of the best! They are extremely fresh, with a slight scent of the sea. We like a spicy cocktail and horseradish garnish but these are perfect just on their own. If you like a restaurant with a Cajun flair then this is a must!!

Old Hickory

Reviewed By Paul G - Savannah, Georgia

Set within Spanish decor, the Old Hickory Steakhouse is warm and cozy. A well-stocked bar awaits as you are preparing to be seated. When seated a small "freebie" appetizer came out and a knowledgeable sommelier assists you through an impressive wine list. The menu offers something for everyone but is somewhat limited in its choices. We had the Lamb and the Filet which were cooked to perfection along with the Sweet Potato Hash which was very tasty. We are not dessert people and even so we pushed away full and satisfied. I found the wait staff to be engaging and friendly.

Bob's Steak and Chophouse

Reviewed By elridder - Barcelona

We have been to Bob's many times over the years and went back twice last week as have really enjoyed their lamb and the cigar lounge. Always a highlight of out trip.
This time MUCH different.
The first night we had already had dinner and just went to the cigar lounge for drinks and cigars.
No doubt they give BIG pours which is very appreciated.
However when I gave the server my card to pay after 20 min we had not gotten back my card and I finally asked her where it was. It turned out she had given it to a group of about 6 people. I have no idea if my CC was compromised or not by this.
The next night we went back and had the lamb. My friend had great lamb mine was just not good tender but not tasty. Reordered and same thing.
Then went to cigar lounge again. Had pleasant time
Then gave CC and would you believe it happened again.
I had to track down my CC after 20 min.
No apologies just excuses. The prices we pay should mean GREAT service.
Not going back
