Texas Roadhouse is one of our "go-to" chains and the Jackson location does not stand out good or bad. The food is always good and the prices are reasonable.

Family birthday dinner for my mother who loves her red meat. Filet was superb and cooked to order. My momâs NY strip was huge allowing for tasty leftovers. Sides are pretty basic. Bread served was good. The service was excellent and we were happy they were able to accommodate a reservation for 6 with a few hours notice. Manager checked on us. Very busy even on a Thursday night. Lots of larger tables so perfect for crowd. Very nice of them too to let my 90 year old mom pick her own dessert. Crime Brûlée was wonderful!

The atmosphere here is second to none on a beautiful day! Sit outside, enjoy the wonderful views, and eat some fresh/ & local food. The staff has really high turnover for some reason - so there are always new employees. But the salads and soups are very good. The sandwiches are as well. Great place to stop for a relaxing lunch

We came upon West Texas BBQ by accident and weren't even sure it was a place where we could sit down and eat. It doesn't look like an eatery from the outside but the sign said BBQ Joint, so we stopped. Glad we did. They had a good selection of many BBQ items and sides. You order at the counter and they bring your food to your table. The bread was fresh and delicious. The baked beans and mac/cheese sides were generous and flavorful. The BBQ was fabulous. The inside was small and rustic and most people were getting carry out. The staff was friendly and helpful. We are glad we happened across this place as we are planning to go back. They do catering and we are also thinking about doing a party with their food. Not much to look at, but it sure reminded me of Texas BBQ. Even all the pick-up trucks in the parking lot brought back memories of Texas! Not fancy, but great food.

Nice little pub feel. Usually busy. Problem is, not enough wait staff to handle it, or at least wait staff that isn't all spaced out. Friday night after work, busy as usual, but waitress was out to lunch. Brought orders out, couldn't find the table. When I asked if they had IPA style beer, she said they were out. I asked then if they had anything close to that and the response was, "We have Bud, Miller Lite, Heineken." DUH! NOT EVEN CLOSE. You'd think the server would have some knowledge of beer styles. If you can't have a descent beer, might as well order water. Food quality has slipped over the past few years too.So much for the restaurant...------------------------Not about the restaurant, editorial comment on parenting...Now about the "Family" that came in and sat next to us....Mom, Dad, brother & sister. Brother about 11, sister about 5, cutest little thing you ever saw. The three big ones fiddling with their phones the entire time. The little one started acting up BECAUSE SHE WAS BORED folks...pay attention to that precious little girl. What a hastle. Dad was nearly beating her. Such a comotion, if only they had paid a bit of attention to her. Too bad you don't have to have a license to conceive.This really isn't a place for kids anyway.

The last few times here have been horrible. Yesterday, for instance, I ordered a steak hoagie. Well, the steak was non- existent. Even the waitress commented that there was no steak on the steak hoagie. So I sent it back, to see if I could get some meat to go with the peppers and onions. They flatly refused. The manager, Mr. Davis, came over and said the portions were pre-weighed out. Apparently in a thimbleâwhich would have worked had I had two prices of bread each the size of a penny. But I had a hoagie bun. Filled with nothing but peppers and onions. I was embarrassed for them, being called âsteaksâ, and flatly refusing to put the slightest bit of steak on a steak hoagie. To make matters worse, when they brought the bill, they gave it to my girlfriend, knowing full well a woman would be wishy-washy and tip them anyway. Which of course she did, because she knows the owner. This place has gone downhill in just a year. Iâd recommend going to a chain restaurant where they have the resources to make shoddy service right, instead of skimping horribly on the product that the restaurant is named after. That being said, if you love peppers and onions, go to steaks eatery. Their steak hoagie is loaded with nothing but.

Stopped here for lunch today. The place was busy and the food and service great. My friend got the pizza. Said it was the best yet. I had a calzone and took one home for my wife. She was amazed. Iced tea was weak but everything Outstanding. You order from a tablet which can be a small challenge. Our waitress was awesome. Jasmin. Said it was her first day but she handled it like a seasoned pro. Weâll be back.

While everything about Klavon's is excellent, the pizza is the star of the show. Many say Klavon's stuffed pizza, an original take on the Chicago deep dish, rivals the greatest pizzas in the windy city -- some claim it's even better. One thing is certain:

Iâve been to Klavonâs too many times to count. The atmosphere is top notch...great staff, clean tables and seating, ample televisions for your entertainment needs. The food is fantastic. Whether youâre going for the signature stuffed pizza, a more traditional hand tossed, or one of the amazing hamburgers, youâre not going to go wrong. Everything about the place is great!

This little hole in the wall gem, small very small dinner is a gem! Good food, decent prices and the menu is hilarious very entertaining! Small business ads in the celling tile! There is two entrances one in the front one in the back, but donât be alarmed when you come in from the back because you find yourself on the cooks line! Its perfectly fine! Seating is tight , but definitely well worth it!
