"This time I tried the Hot Beef...and I can see why it is number one! I felt their portions were generously large and the food satisfies that comfort food craving. I also have ordered the Pistachio Cold Brew coffee twice, if you like nutty flavors- I definitely recommend trying!"
"First time eating from here. I was a little worried about if the food would be hot still when it arrived because we are much further out from them but both meals were perfect! My son has sensory issues and I was worried about him trying something new. I got the Chicken & Rice for him thinking it looked similar to our chicken & rice casserole I make at home and he loved it! It was a huge portion too! It's always a relief when I can find him something on the menu other than deep fried chicken nuggets, so thank you!!! I got the Hot Beef and it was the best I've had in a long time! It's so hard to find hot beef sandwiches let alone made well! Definitely a 10/10 from this family! We will order again and have to dine in soon too!"

"Wingstop hooked me UP tonight. Extra chicken, fresh crunchy fries, extra ketchup and ranch. I got the lemon pepper wings and the garlic parm wings, flavor was on point. One of my favorite places to eat. 🖤 Thanks y'all!"
"Delightful! The best chicken ive ever had by far! The 4 Crispy Tenders were just as described CRISPY! I tried 3 flavors - lemon pepper packed a punch of flavor, a bit salty for those who are sensitive - garlic Parmesan were classic and good, kind of unassuming tho - lastly, hot honey was very good, def had some heat to them but worth it!
15 Wings were boneless. They chose Original Hot which have by far been th best Buffalo style chicken they have had 8/10. And tried the mango habanero, flavor 10/10 scrumptious but were spiciest out of all our choices.
The Cajun Fried Corn were a perfect side! Yummy tender corn on the cob in an easy to eat fashion. We had the Cajun extra seasoning and it didn't miss a beat!
Lastly we had Seasoned Fries which unfortunately fell last on our favorite just because everything else shined so bright but by the time it was delivered they were soggy and cold. If they had been fresh, they would've been better nice homemade style fries!
And of course with all of this we had a side of Cheese Sauce and tons of Ranch which added to the deliciousness of everything! I dipped every bite. "

The poppers are not spicy, but the flavor is perfection. I wasn't sure about pesto and artichoke hearts on pizza, but it totally works. This restaurant will definitely be in my regul rotation from now on. "
"Their food never disappoints. The homemade Mozzarella Sticks are amazing. And theres just something about the crust on the pizza combined with the brick oven taste.

I have to say this last experience was one of the best experiences I've had with Panda Express and doordash delivery"
"I go to Panda Express all the time. It's genuinely my favorite go to fast food. Unfortunately, I'll be sticking to driving there. The plate I got would be $9.30 driving through, but on here it is $12.40. A ridiculous 30% increase simply because it's online. I paid nearly $20 and I only got the plate. And that is with a promotion going on where the delivery fee was only a few cents. The food itself was a bit crunchier than usual and the rice tasted old. Super Greens were a little under-seasoned. Still, it's panda express so I enjoyed it. But for the first time... ever- I think, it didn't fill me up. I noticed the smaller portion but didn't think much of it. But now I'm unsatisfied with 20 less dollars in my account."

This place, though? Big, juicy meat. This is the kind of meat that restores a man's confidence. Great Value™ on the Saturday Special. They cooked it properly. IT WAS MOIST 👍 AND IT WAS YUMMERS 👍.
As for the sides: the mac was good. The jalapeno corn was more sauce than corn, which some folks might like, but was a bit too much for my taste. The beans had a generous amount of brisket mixed in, which was a nice surprise.
Hard to beat all that for 40 bucks. I'd rate it a solid 5.75/6"."

"Tiny meat portions do no warrant paying extra for the meat. I ordered the 2 meat combo (burnt ends & brisket), and both required an extra $1.19. Well, I received 5 small pieces of burnt ends and 3 slices of brisket that were not even full pieces. They looked like end pieces that were shorter and thinner. The Mac & Cheese seemed to be missing the cheese. This place isn't what it used to be. I ordered the same thing last week and it was better, so it seems to be a one off.

"I really love Tasty Taco food because it doesn't give me heartburn...and the taste is really good with each bite ....and it's done just right ..and for my rate I give them a 100% ....and besides I love Tasty Taco over Taco Jhons and Taco Casa"
"I don't know if they changed their recipe or just skipped some steps today, but the tacos I just ordered are horrible. The meat is chewy, tastes and looks weird, and has no obvious seasoning or beans. On top of my lunch being inedible, I also received far more than I ordered. Clearly, attention to detail is not a priority at this store. Makes me wonder what the kitchen looks like."

I decided on the crab soup which is reminiscent of seafood chowder but with the sweetness of crab. The Colossal Carrot Cake is rich and super, ( dare I say ) moist. I'm so glad I got 2 pieces."
"my 1st time trying this place. I'm very impressed with quality and service. McAlister's Club Wrap was very delicious and refreshing. The broccoli cheese soup as my side was absolutely perfect. Colossal Carrot Cake was an excellent for dessert. The things that I was most impressed by was that they put plasticwrap all around the soup so it doesn't leak out. Everything tasted very fresh. I will definitely be ordering from here again."

"First time ordering from here, giant cheese curds. I honestly chose this Cheese Curd Cheese Burger because I wanted both a burger and curds but couldn't eat it all so it was perfect! I think next time I'll add double cheese on the burger especially because I ate them separate from the curds. Sauce was surprisingly good! Glad I ordered it on the side to dip my fries in."
"Kids boneless wings were just a cut up dried out chicken strip. Fresh fruit is indeed not fresh, but a Dole fruit cup.
Caesar side salad was about half the size pictured, definitely not worth $11 but still tasted good.
Wings tasted off, ate 2 then threw the rest away. Husband did say he likes the burger though.
All in all, there are way better places to order from and will never order from here again"

"There was no straw, no napkins, & everything was packaged messily. The curly fries were dry & didn't fill up the container. The Classic Beef 'n Cheddar was very compressed but tastes alright. The Buffalo Chicken Slider was so messy but the flavor was good. The Honey Mustard Chicken Wrap was the star of the bag. It was a perfect little snack."

"The TRUFFLE MUSHROOM SMASH® was burnt to a crisp, the hamburger part was not edible at all so I fed it to my dog. All that I would eat was the cheese which was good and the sparse amount of mushrooms that weren't fresh. The regular smash was so good according to my granddaughter. The milkshakes were also delicious. I have noticed several times in the past that orders to go contain more mistakes.
Since I paid for the order yet couldn't eat the entree, I wouldn't be ordering again from Smash Burgers or recommending them based on my experience. I was completely disappointed in the quality of their food."
