    Came here last night. We got two rib meals, onion straws (yummm) wedges, corn, corn bread and banana pudding. Customer service was good and ordering was easy. Food came out fast. Everything was good.

    Famous Dave's is back at n my good graces ! I was told by a good friend to try their fried chicken and I'm glad I listened. Four pieces of well seasoned golden fried chicken really hit the spot. I have a new menu item to order from now on. Job well done, Dave!

    Burnt Ends, Onion Strings and Pepsi  Both from appetizer menu

    Bianca sat me and then became my server. She was friendly and seemed to enjoy her job. I ordered and watched football until my meal came out. The soda was refreshing due to not drinking soda much anymore. The onion springs were decent but needed seasoning and the burnt ends were pretty fatty pieces. Just enough of all for a delicious late lunch. Pretty packed for a Saturday afternoon. Great bbq sauce. I will return. I was able to use my $10 off coupon, which made it all $17.

    I will say that Famous Dave's was super responsive to my review and did their best to make it right. They contacted me and told me not only were they refunding my money for the pie but also sending me some gift certificates to use on a meal. Their customer service was excellent and I appreciate how attentive they were in this situation. I have no complaints.

    Burnt ends

    Hadn't been to Famous Dave's for a few years and I've got to say that I'm glad I stopped in today! Upon arrival I was greeted by Sierra, the bartender and she was a delight so I decided to sit in the bar area. Immediately as soon as I sat down Sierra took my drink order and ran it back to my table. I started out with their delicious burnt ends and followed by a 2 meat option for my main course. I ended up choosing the brisket and chicken and even though the chicken seems to be a popular choice at Famous Dave's, I ended up leaving mine untouched after taking 1 bite. I will say that the consistency is a preference thing so if you LOVE chicken; give it a try. Personally, I'm not a huge fan and this was a miss for me. The brisket was good, a little on the dry side but the burnt ends were where it's at and in fact, I ended up getting another order since I didn't finish my main course :) I will definitely be back and if you stop in, I recommend sitting at the bar area and ask for Sierra!

The actual restaurant feels massive but decorated in a rustic way. I want to give a huge shout out to Alicia. She is such a knowledgeable, approachable, and receptive server. She was on top of refilling drinks, making sure we weren't left alone for too long when we were waiting for our food to come, and just had an overall amazing energy. While we really enjoy all of the servers we've had at Mikes, Alicia takes the cake. If there's any way to provide her with recognition, I would highly vouch for it. She could sell me anything on that menu with that kind of personality! Thank you, Alicia! I'm going to make sure we try to get seated at your table again.

Since the reservation form asked if we were celebrating anything, I hoped we would be placed in a special area or at least somewhere more intimate. Unfortunately, that was not the case. We were led up a staircase, which offered a cool view of the environment, but ended up at a small table in a small high traffic area. Initially, we thought it was a unique experience because of the restaurant's interior design, but we soon realized it was going to be uncomfortable...because heat rises and we were stuck upstairs with so many other people who seemed just as warm as us. It was excessively hot, and I found myself fanning myself with one of the menus at the table. While our server was probably trying his best, the service left much to be desired. We were eager to leave as soon as we arrived. After ordering and enjoying what we could of our meals, which were quite good, we just wanted to leave. However, our server was absent for a long time, leaving us stuck at the table. Instead of being a cute little anniversary dinner, it just turned out to be a disappointing experience at a new restaurant

But Longhorn did not even have it as an option on their menu. Ok... So I decided to get if I can remember correctly a ribeye and some sides. The drink I tried was a dragon fruit margarita.

The Woodbridge Silver Dinner is a very busy place today. The ambience and moods seem to be running on happy high octane. The sounds of meals being prepared along with the smells are mouth watering. Evidently, I must be hungry. Upon being shown to our table by a young lady with short hair, we learned from the lady which specials are available for brunch. The lady reminded me of Rhea Ripley. Someone I vaguely remember seeing before I stopped watching WWE. Now she is very popular and I see how she looks now. The lady who seated us remind me of a young Rhea Ripley, but with the short black hair and a bit of the gothic vibe. All of these passed through my head as our host was talking to us. I think this host lady will be making it big very soon. Our server's name is David, but he likes to go by the name DJ. DJ took our orders and the were brought to us pretty quickly. I appreciate DJ informing us that the Rootbeer I would have ordered was flat. The soda machine appeared to be out of the C02...or something else all together. I ended up sticking with good old H20. I ordered the Belgian Waffle&Eggs. Since I do not eat eggs, I substituted the eggs for the new menu item called Home Fries with Caramelized Onions. My wife ordered the French Toast and Eggs with an order of Home Fries with Caramelized Onions, as well. The food was delicious as it almost always is. We saw and heard DJ talking to other guests in his high friendly energy he puts out. Unfortunately, one customer didn't seem to be enjoying himself and got loud and rude with DJ and a customer. Things could have ugly, but they didn't. Cooler heads prevailed dispite Rude Boy taking his anger out on other customers. Whether or not his wife, girlfriend or sister was embarrassed by his rude boy manners, Rihanna's message of the Rude Boy song needs to be upgraded...without the sexual innuendos to her. The other option, "Everything He Owns In A Box To The Left." I am digressing. Back to the subject at hand. DJ is a grown man and handled Rude Boy's remarks and fixed the issue. DJ apologize to his guests for the Rude Boys outbursts. Just another day at Silver Dinner if you don't let rude remarks hit you/bother you like a bat out of hell. The staff members seem pretty down to earth and they all worked together to get food out to the guests. Yes, mistakes can happen, but it's how the problem(s) are handled. We will definitely be back.

Even though it was pretty busy, we were seated immediately, and I was especially grateful to be seated in a quieter corner where the tables were more to the side instead of directly behind us. It was a stressful moment because my autistic son was having a really hard time and was clearly overwhelmed. Our server was wonderful, but the manager, Joy, was truly an angel sent at the perfect time. Not only did she remember our family from a previous visit, but after we explained that our son is autistic and was struggling in the moment, she immediately went to the back and returned with markers, paper, gemstone stickers, a timer, and more -- almost like she was fully prepared for children with sensory needs. I honestly can't express how much that meant to us. Her timing couldn't have been better, and we will forever be grateful for her kindness and compassion. On top of that, when my food came out, my steak wasn't cooked the way I requested. I honestly wasn't even planning to say anything, but Joy noticed I wasn't eating it and asked how I had ordered it cooked. When I explained, she kindly offered to remove it from the check. Managers like Joy are rare and so deeply appreciated. The food was great, but truthfully, Joy is what made this experience unforgettable. You can tell she's not only an amazing manager, but also a genuinely good person with a caring heart. Thank you, Joy, for making such a lasting impression on our family. Silver Diner is lucky to have you!

    We visited The Harbour Grill for a graduation dinner, and while the atmosphere was lively overall,…read morethe section where our party was seated felt disconnected from the rest of the restaurant. It was noticeably quieter, with no music, and lacked the energy and ambiance that seemed to be present elsewhere in the restaurant. Our server, Maddy, did a great job managing a large party of around 15 people. While we did have to remind her about a few condiments that were forgotten, that's understandable given the size of our group and the fact that she appeared to be handling a lot on her own. Throughout the evening, she remained friendly, professional, and accommodating. As for the food, I was starving and decided to stick with appetizers. I ordered the fried pickles, hush puppies, and chicken wings. The chicken wings were the standout of the meal. They were fried hard just the way I like them, and the spicy honey garlic sauce was the perfect compliment sweet, spicy, and packed with flavor. The hush puppies were decent, but the accompanying "whipped cinnamon honey butter" missed the mark for me. It was overwhelmingly sweet and lacked the rich, buttery flavor I expected. It was also brown and not the buttery yellow of whipped butter I was expecting. Instead of tasting like a butter spread, it tasted more like straight sugar, which didn't pair well with the hush puppies in my opinion. Unfortunately, the fried pickles were a major disappointment. As someone who absolutely loves fried pickles, these were probably the least enjoyable I've ever had. The restaurant uses pickle spears rather than the traditional pickle chips, and the batter didn't adhere well to the pickle. Most of it fell off after the first bite, leaving me essentially eating a warm pickle spear. I think cutting the spears into bite-sized pieces and ensuring they're thoroughly dried before battering would greatly improve both the texture and crunch. They simply lacked the crispy, flavorful bite I was hoping for. One bright spot beyond the wings was my Moscow Mule. It was delicious, strong, and reasonably priced. Overall, if I return, it will likely be during happy hour to enjoy the bar area or the outdoor patio with a Moscow Mule and an order of those wings. While there were some misses, there were enough positives to make me willing to give The Harbour Grill another try.
