Really liked the crispy pork belly soup and Pad Lao. Our server Jarrett was so helpful with recommendations, which made everything easy.

Small plates are a good idea here. We tried the sesame cauliflower and the roasted duck. Both came out hot and looked nice. It&#39;s a practical way to sample different things.

The biscuits and gravy tasted just like my grandma&#39;s. You can tell they cook everything fresh when you order. That made it feel cozy.

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 outdoor concrete was a perfect match for a warm evening. They handle the crowd well, even when it&#39;s packed.

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

The vintage vibe here is so real, you can feel the history. Perfect for catching up with a couple friends over milkshakes. The booths are cozy and it just feels welcoming, like stepping back in time.

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.

Perfect for a museum trip. The big windows make it feel so open, even when it&#39;s packed. I grabbed a seat by the glass and just watched the street. The vibe is really chill.

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 lunch special here is a pretty good deal. I had the pad thai, and it was decent. The flavors were authentic, and the portion was fine for the price. Service was a touch slow, but it&#39;s a solid spot for a quick, affordable meal.

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.

Busy local spot, lively vibe. They squeezed our big group in fast on a packed night. The grilled octopus was tender, charred just right. Solid spot for a group dinner.

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 biscuits they bring out at the start are so good. Warm and flaky, with that honey butter melting right in. It just puts you in a good mood right away.

Came for the first time and really enjoyed the hummus trio. The beet one was my favorite, super creamy. The lamb chops were good, but honestly, I&#39;d go back just for that dip!

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.

Came here with the family last weekend. The portions are huge! We ended up taking home leftovers for lunch the next day. For the price, you really get a lot of food.

The German Chocolate Cake here is the real deal. Moist, not overly sweet, and you can tell it&#39;s fresh. No preservatives, which is a big plus for me. Definitely coming back for that slice.

The waitress was so nice about swapping my steak when it wasn&#39;t cooked right. That kind of attention is really appreciated.

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.

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.

Been coming here for years. Always get the tea service - love that you get your own pot, and the little sandwiches are just right.
