Lexi was super helpful with our big volleyball team. She handled all our different personalities without a hitch.

Tried their three-meat sampler last night. Brisket was tender, ribs had a nice bark. The fried pickles were a solid side, crispy and not too greasy. Good stuff for a casual dinner.

Been coming here for years, it&#39;s just solid. The staff remembers my usual order, and they&#39;re always quick with refills. Food&#39;s consistently good, nothing fancy, but you know exactly what you&#39;re getting. A reliable spot when you just want a no-fuss meal.

The portions are massive, we all left with leftovers. Good deal for the price.

Been coming here for years, and the Moroccan chicken breast is always spot on. Never dry, and that sauce is just right. It&#39;s the one thing I know I can count on every time.

Been coming here for lunch for a while now. Just found out they have a loyalty card thing&mdash;pretty cool surprise for regulars like me. Definitely a nice little bonus.

Franklin&#39;s service was just right. The pacing of the courses was excellent and let us enjoy our wine pairings without feeling rushed.

Parking in Five Points is a hassle, but I&rsquo;d do it again just for their fried chicken. It was so crispy and juicy, with this amazing honey drizzle. Totally hit the spot.

The vibe is consistently nice here. It&rsquo;s clean, they play decent music, and the staff is always friendly. We were seated right away for our reservation, which was great. A solid spot for a relaxed dinner.

Mongolian beef and orange chicken had good flavor. The white rice went well with their trio sauce. Everything tasted fresh.

They had high chairs and changing tables, which was a nice surprise. My little one devoured the spinach enchiladas. Portions are big and everything tasted really fresh.

The shrimp and grits really stood out. You can tell they use good stuff&mdash;the shrimp were plump and the grits were super creamy. Portion was decent for the price. Just a solid, tasty dish.

Weekend brunch here was so fun with my friends! The menu had some really unique dishes, everything tasted super fresh. We got the avocado toast and the berry pancakes - both were delicious. It&#39;s right by the museum, so we just walked over after. A great spot for a casual group hangout.

The James Joyce Burger. Ordered it medium-rare and it came out exactly that. The aged Irish cheddar was sharp, and the bacon had a good crisp to it. The brioche bun held everything together without getting soggy. A straightforward, tasty burger.

Igor, the GM, really made the wine pairing event feel welcoming. The chef was also super accommodating with our last-minute requests.

The staff here just have a way of making you feel like a regular. They remembered I liked extra ice in my water without me asking. That kind of attention is so nice.

Always packed at lunch! The wait can be a bit much, but the food makes it okay. Getting here early is the move.

Came here with friends and the crab masala was so good! Big chunks of crab meat. The scallops were fantastic too. A nice change from the usual Indian spots. Great for a group dinner.

Been coming here for years. The vibe is always cozy, never feels rushed. It&#39;s my go-to for a quiet brunch when I just want to sit and read the paper. That&#39;s what keeps me coming back.

The dessert cart is a whole mood. I couldn&#39;t say no when they rolled it by. The puff pastry was so light and flaky. Had to get a slice to go.

Perfect spot for a pre-game bite right by the stadium. Had the pulled pork sandwich, super tender and the sauce was just right. A little pricey for what it was, but you&#39;re paying for the location. Got us fueled up and to our seats on time!

Came for Sunday brunch. The buffet spread is massive, constantly refilled. It was packed, but the staff kept things moving. For the price, you really get your money&#39;s worth with all those options. Left feeling very full.

Elizabeth was a great server. She made us feel welcome right away, which was nice since it was our anniversary. Food came out quick too.

Cosmic Cantina is my go-to after a late shift. The burritos are fresh and actually taste like real food, not just another fast-food stop.

The burgers here are huge and juicy, cooked just right. They can be a bit salty sometimes, but that&#39;s part of the charm.

The empanadas were so fluffy inside, with a perfect crispy crust. The pepperoni one was like a little pizza pocket!

The strawberry and mango mojitos were spot on. Really well-made. The bartenders clearly know their stuff, which you don&#39;t always see. My only gripe was the wait for a seat at the bar itself&mdash;got a little crowded.

Took the family here last night. Burgers and hot dogs were solid, but the catfish was the standout. Ordered a local IPA to go with it, and the pairing was spot on. Fish was crispy, not greasy. A bit of a wait for the food, but it was clearly made fresh.

The garden platter&#39;s hummus was so smooth. Paired perfectly with a crisp white wine. The boneless lamb biryani was tender, but the real star was that starter. A solid choice for a relaxed dinner.

Stopped by for a quick bite. The burger was solid, really juicy. Their Fi-sauce is the star, honestly. Fries were hand-cut and crispy. Nothing fancy, just hit the spot.
