Really nice place far Americam Fare. Burgers, salads and more. I met a buddy there for lunch and it was immediately seated. Greeted by the waitress. Sweet tea was good. I got a burger and it was really juicy, fries were good, buddy had the chicken Salad an it was huge. Reasonably priced and nice atmosphere

My parents recommended this place for brunch. I haven't been to a Two Rows in probably 20 years, and that was in a different location. They liked the brunch, one had the eggs migas and the other the two eggs breakfast. I ordered the Baja chicken salad. Mom loved the scrambled eggs, Dad special ordered the pepper bacon on the side, his favorite. I noticed the mimosa flight, 4 mimosas for $20. They fill up the small glasses too. They had all kinds of flavors like key lime pie, blueberry lemonade, the mermaid, and pineapple upside down cake. I liked the pineapple upside down cake, Dad preferred the blueberry lemonade. The Baja salad was very good, I paired it with ranch, and it was very filling. There was a sweet biscuit on the side as well. Everyone had a good time, the quality seemed very good to me for reasonable prices.

We love this place! Being a tap house, they have a wide variety of food with vegetarian options. My husband loves their Brew Crew board and is working to be part of it. Lots of TVs for sports and the food is really good. We find ourselves at this place often! Thank you, Brass Tap!

This place has a nice atmosphere with live music! I like my cocktail very much and the food was good except my burger was a little hard like cooked a little longer than normal, overall I enjoyed my time there.

Great selection of draft beers and spirits. I can't stay away from the nachos which are the best you will find around. Not only are they extremely flavorful, but the portion is enough for 2. I have tried a great deal of the food here and I'm never disappointed. Stop in if you are anywhere close and you will leave happy.

First timers! Walking in, automatically felt welcomed. The two hostess working are so nice. Our server Noah is phenomenal and is very intelligent. Last but not least, the food was amazing! $69 for a bottle of wine, 2 salads, and 2 entrees was a steal for us. We have been trying to find a great italian place and we finally found it. Great food and great service! We will be back. (Recommend for date nights.)

Great food, big portions and great prices. Came here with a group of 6 for dinner on Friday around 6:30. There was about a 45 min wait but we went to bar and had drinks while waiting. Service was good and food came out fast. I had the chicken parm with house salad which was excellent. I also tried the bruschetta and margherita pizza. Both were good. For drinks I had the raspberry lemon drop martini and that was great.

best italian restaurant ive ever been to. maybe bc i don't get out much for italian yet its my FAVORiTE genre of food. the service is always so cheerful and i love the food 10/10. they even have a whole separate menu just for gluten free ppls, and their gf pasta tastes amazing. the place is so aesthetically pleasing by an artist's pov and i love the italian vibes u get when walking into the building. so authentic. so roman cucina. love it bro.

Mio Nonno in Allen, Texas, is an absolute gem, and their gnocchi is a standout dish! The pillows of gnocchi are perfectly soft and melt in your mouth, with a texture that’s both delicate and satisfying. The accompanying sauce—rich, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned—elevates the dish to another level. You can taste the care and authenticity in every bite. If you’re a fan of Italian cuisine, Mio Nonno’s gnocchi is a must-try. The warm, welcoming atmosphere and attentive service only enhance the experience. Highly recommend!

Best Dining Experience - Mio Nonno is the GOAT! Mio Nonno continues to impress with its impressive value, impeccable service, consistently excellent food, and expertly crafted cocktails. Every visit feels like a special occasion! The staff here truly goes above and beyond. Lorenza is not only warm and welcoming but incredibly knowledgeable, making you feel right at home the moment you walk in. A special mention to Mimi and Matias, who always ensure every detail is perfect. Their professionalism and friendliness elevate the dining experience to another level, from menu recommendations to perfectly timed service. And Carson, the host, never fails to remember my name, which adds such a personal touch to the experience. Katelynn always greets you with a great smile, making every visit feel even more welcoming. If you're looking for a place that hits all the marks—fantastic food, great drinks, and an humble and low key atmosphere—Mio Nonno is the absolute best. This place is hands down my favorite place in Allen and I can’t recommend it enough!

A Taste of Italy in Every Bite I had the pleasure of dining at Mío Nonno, and I must say, it was a spectacular experience. From the first course to dessert, every detail showcased the passion and quality poured into their dishes. I tried the crème brûlée, and it was simply divine. The creamy texture, the perfect balance of sweetness, and that delicate caramelized crust that cracks like a whisper… a true masterpiece! The cozy atmosphere and impeccable service perfectly complemented the amazing food. This is the kind of place that invites you to stay, enjoy, and savor every moment. If you’re looking for an Italian restaurant that truly stands out, Mío Nonno is an absolute must-visit. I can’t wait to return and explore more of their menu. Highly recommended!

Love this place. Great seating, service was outstanding and the food was close to perfect. Queso is just ok, little bland could use a little more spice, but did pair well with the type of chip served. Brisket is def the star of the show , whether the taco or burrito it's that good. Doesn't need any sauce, but hey nice change up now and then as you enjoy. Cheese enchiladas and tamale was also very good. Will return for another round soon. 4.7 overall.

What happened Mi Cocina? Your food is still great. The service is amazing but you used to have such an elaborate Christmas decorations this time of year and it feels like I’m walking into a Dollar General that sells Tex mex. It seems as the years go by the decorations are less and less. We appreciate that you keep having the great service and the great food but it would be nice to see the atmosphere match what holiday season it is.

We had an awesome time with my cousin !! So thankful to the staff for letting us in before closing it was a last minute birthday celebration for her. The food and drinks were amazing!! 100 recommended!!!

An absolutely amazing lunch, great atmosphere amazing service staying on point and attentive. Very helpful and accommodating. The food portions were plentiful and very good. It's hard to find a place that serves really good tea these days . They are pet friendly for the outside patio. It's well shaded and has a heating option when it gets cold. Price was Fair. I can't see why anybody would ever give them a poor review.

We got seated right away, our waitress was very friendly & attentive. All our food was fresh & hot. We absolutely loved the Cajun fries they have a great crispy texture, Cajun seasoning with a kick of lime and a great dipping sauce.

Came by for lunch. Our waiter was super cool. We all enjoyed the food. Nothing fancy. Just good, tasty food. It all came out quickly, which was great. If you are looking for a solid place to come to regularly, this is it.

Stella on draft - check Smoked wings - check Only wish they had more flavors and super hot sauce but so far our favorite wing spot since moving from Toronto. Very friendly staff and quick service, great for a date night.

Tonight was the first time we’ve ever been to this restaurant. We are traveling and decided to stop there and we’re so glad we did. I would give the service a hands-down five 5️⃣! Our waiter, Mason, was great! He was very attentive and pleasant. Also, our hostesses, both in arrival and departure, were very personable and made us feel very welcome. My husband had a meatloaf sandwich and said he would give it a five 5️⃣. He liked the whole combination and said it had a good flavor profile. I had the brisket quesadillas, and I wasn’t that crazy about them. Actually, they were great in size, very well cooked, I just wasn’t crazy about the flavor profile. I also had a dinner salad and it was so fresh and I loved the garlic croutons on it, plus the ranch dressing was really good. I would actually give the dinner salad a five 5️⃣ and was glad I got it. I would have liked if they would’ve had a different salsa option. I am a salsa lover, but did not really like that one at all, but since I ordered quesadillas, I tried to eat with was provided salsa-wise. Outside of that, I’m glad we went and would definitely go there again! Because of the service we received, we had a great experience and will probably go back!

The food was tasty and delicious. I loved it. Great food, great atmosphere, nice music, good service, and nice people. You definitely want to stop by and experience Kelly's at the Village.

A cute, quaint and perfect place for a book club meeting on a quiet Wednesday night. The food is good and the server is so wholesome. It’s a very cozy and a feel good place. Bonus points is it’s BYOB.

What a wonderful experience! The food was delicious and the service was very welcoming and personal. Ana and Buddy were attentive and treated us like family. This is a BYOB establishment with no rush experience. A little gem in the heart of Allen.

The most incredible experience and food! You truly feel like you’re apart of their family. will be back for sure!!

Really enjoyed eating here. I love the macaroni salad, and try a different meat every time I come. They’re all good. My least favorite thing is the rice. It’s cooked well, but I am not a fan of rice, and there’s a lot included with every meal. Luckily, you can sub out for other sides. Their dole whip is the best outside of the Disney Parks.

Ramiro was so friendly and welcoming! Made the entire experience here incredible. The food is always so tasty and fresh here no matter which location you go to! Make sure to try a mixed protein plate and the soft serve as well!

The lady at the front this morning was super nice and helpful. Served the food, drinks and dessert with care. Definitely recommend Hawaiian food spot!

We visited this pizza place on a busy Friday night, and it was packed! After a 40-minute wait, we finally got a table and ordered based on our waiter’s recommendation. We tried “The Don” and the Chicken BBQ pizza. While “The Don” was just okay, the Chicken BBQ really stood out and was definitely our favorite. One of the highlights of the experience was sitting outside—there’s a nice view that adds to the overall atmosphere. The service was fantastic despite how busy it was, and the staff was attentive and friendly throughout. We’ll definitely be back to try more of their pizzas!

I'm typically a huge Grimaldi's fan...I even worked here right after college way back when this location first opened, so I know the quality used to be there! I have always known what to expect and it's generally always been a hit! We have been thoroughly disappointed the last SEVERAL times we've eaten here/gotten take out; to the point that it will no longer remain one of our go-to's, and I probably won't be coming back to this location, unfortunately. Lately the pizza has been so thin/burnt it tastes like a crispy cracker with no softness whatsoever (and, yes, I know it's a thinner crust with some crispness to be expected from a brick oven pizza, but this had all crunch and no chew) ...and the pizzas have BARELY had toppings on them...and I'm just talking about the basics of the pizza here- the sauce and the cheese. The pizzas have either been all sauce and no cheese, or hardly any sauce/dry and practically all cheese... Or like this most recent one, where our pie seemed to have a combo of both disappointing features- half had all sauce(no chz) and half had all cheese(no sauce). To say we've been underwhelmed with the plummeting quality over the past year is an understatement : /

Why, in a restaurant that’s only half full, do I have to wait nearly 30 minutes for just one pizza? Why would they serve me a burnt mess and act like it’s perfectly fine? Why does nobody bother to check the quality of what they're putting out? Why promote a Prosciutto pizza only to deliver something that’s 100% salty and rock-hard? Does a Prosciutto pizza have the prosciutto burnt or fresh, I wonder? What do you do as a cook with a burnt pizza? What’s with the layer of tasteless white paste on the crust that you can see right through? And why do they charge me 15% more than what the menu says? I can't help but wonder... why is this happening? ... and all that happened on a Saturday evening... what might happen at rush hour with a full house? No wonder so many other recent reviews are just 1 and 2 stars... What steps are you, Grimaldi's managers, planning to take to address these issues? Thank you.

The waiter I had was real friendly and nice he was quick to get out our order and bring out drinks he went above and beyond. The atmosphere was great the staff was really friendly and nice. The food was super fresh super hot. I would definitely recommend 10 out of 10.

The server that we had was great, I believe his name was Moises! He took great care of us while we were there. The croissants are the best thing. I got the pot pie, and it came with a side salad. The size of the pot pie was large in my opinion, more than I can finish in a meal so I ended up taking home more than half! I enjoyed the salad more than the pot pie though. I thought the taste of the pot pie was just okay.

My daughter worked here when she was in highschool. I went back to support. Food was still delicious and the young male waiter was very friendly.

The establishment looked very good and well-maintained. The restaurant interior was bright and well-organized with a beautiful and large dining space. The foods tasted good. However, Sausage Carbonara was really salty. The price seemed a bit higher than the recent marketing level in the similar competitive restaurants. The server was friendly but quite pushing us to finish our dishes.

If I could give this place ten stars I would! We live not too far from Brio and decided to try it. I was a little worried because it asks for reservations online. But when we got there it was such a beautiful experience. The atmosphere is very upscale but with an equal feeling of being relaxed and casual. Our server, Lauren, was sweet, helpful, patient, and very attentive. The food was a little on the pricey side but worth every penny. My husband is a whisky drinker and tried the Brio Old Fashioned which is made with amaretto instead of simple syrup. He said it gave the drink another level of flavor. The salmon was cooked perfectly and the butter sauce on the mushroom ravioli was delicious. We took dessert home and they were just as tasty. If you want a nice night out with some ambiance with great service, this is the place for you. They also have a brick oven that they bake their pizzas in. Thank you, Brio, for the amazing experience. We ordered two entrees, two adult beverages, and two desserts for $120.

Stopped by for a late lunch, wasn’t very busy; large establishment. Kitchen looked really clean, organized, and free of clutter. Have to say for the quality and authenticity the dishes were pricey; $25+ for a pasta dish and extra $10 or more to add a protein to it. Bread was fresh, hot, and delicious; butter was also nicely salted. Caesar salad was crisp and cold. Had the sausage rigatoni, it was spicy, sausage was flavorful. Portions are large so I e we’re able to split. All-in for one drink, pasta dish, and side salad about $40. Server was nice, split our meal on two plates. Overall good experience but wouldn’t necessarily feel compelled to come back with so many great choices in the area.

Randomly decided to go here one day for restaurant week and I have no regrets! When you go in they have menus close to the door and you order at the counter. I ordered the caramel latte, blueberry salad with chicken, and a pancake with butter and syrup. The latte was good, but there was nothing particularly special about it. The salad was the highlight because the chicken was cooked perfectly. It was crispy, juicy, and seasoned well. Everything in the salad paired well together and I would definitely recommend this dish. The pancake was thick and spongey. It was a perfect dessert after the salad. The staff was very attentive and continued to check in with us and the atmosphere is more of a restaurant than a cafe. I would go back to this restaurant even if it wasn't for restaurant week.

Customer Service was exceptional!! We were afraid of the wait time when we walked in and saw the line but it went extremely fast! Food was all perfectly cooked (chicken tenders were a little tough/dry) but everything else made up for it. My husband cleaned his plate of salmon within 5 mins!

We came here for the DFW restaurant week menu on a Saturday for brunch. Fantastic value at $29 for a drink, dessert and entree. I had the cinnamon bun, pot roast on English muffin with house potatoes, and caramel cappuccino. My wife has the blueberry blackened chicken salad, pancakes , and caramel latte. Service was stellar with the staff checking if you need anything. The cappuccino and latte were a bit lacking as the syrup was stagnant at the bottom even as we received them. We both thoroughly enjoyed our desserts and entrees. Highly recommend this place as their menu is pretty extensive and there's lots to try.

Our visit was ruined by the horrible food and service. After spending $120 on 5 meals, only 1 of my family members actually liked their food. The chicken club sandwich tasted like grocery store lunch meat, the veggie hamburger was so awful I could only eat the bread, the fries were cold and my son barely touched his bacon cheeseburger as it was undercooked and not flavorful. Lastly, the service was friendly but extremely slow and it took 15 minutes each time for the server to reappear. I never got a refill and had to drink watered down soda. We wanted dessert but unfortunately had to place an order with the To-Go pickup area because our waiter took too long to come back. Sad to say, that will be our last visit.

I must say this experience was way better than our last one. Food was much better but our server was a little slow. The Pizza was good & mom said her chicken sandwich was great!

I was excited to go to BJs as this was one of my favorite places in Las Vegas. But this time….By far the worst food I’ve ever had. I ordered the sirloin and grilled chicken. The sirloin was a chunk of meat not a typical flat steak, no seasoning. The chicken was so white it looked like fish and also no seasoning and mushy. The waiter did replace it with the chicken club that was then served with the same terrible chicken and bacon that wasn’t cooked. Service was mediocre at best. I should note that I’m not a picky eater. I’ve maybe sent back food twice in my life. This was just not even edible. I overheard the table next to me and someone else also sending their food back.
