I have now been to three different Chicken Express and at each I had the same results... Great Chicken. Clean restaurant. And happy people!! You can't beat that. The food was very good and every where you looked you could see that the place was well kept, including the restrooms and the people are happy. You can see happy. I think Chicken Express is well worth a stop!

Arby's was gone for a while but is now back with an updated building and better employees/service. Restaurant was updated and food is better! Everyone was so happy to get it back that you couldn't get food without waiting for about 30-45 minutes but now back to normal wait expectations.

The Black Cat

Reviewed By travelingBard23

The restaurant has more curb appeal than its inside milieu. The prices are very good, but the food could use a little seasoning. The waitstaff consisted of teenagers, and I saw an adult (perhaps the manager/owner?) once. The kids were trying to hold down the fort, but it felt unsupervised.

Banderas Steakhouse

Reviewed By MichaelFussell

I had large rib eye medium rare with grilled vegetables. Salad was just lettuce, chopped up tomatoes and shredded cheese on top, not very good. Steak had a unusual texture and a little tough. Grilled vegetables was nothing to brag about. Waitress was pretty spot on and friendly. The Devore could use a major overhaul. A wagon with hay on it in the dining area, this ain’t a farm. Oh the entrance is a big cement ramp that goes up probably 4 foot change in elevation.

Mel's Seafood Restaurant

One of the best restaurant's in EL Dorado

Reviewed By yxcgvhjkl

We had been out there with the working team for lunch. The lighting inside the restaurant makes you believe, it is already late in the event. Starters have been very nice, especially the fried jalapeños. Some ich us had groupers, the. Came nearly burned. Not my favourite way of doing fish. Very friendly staff, attentive and quick. Thanks for that. I ordered the hidden dish, 'bacon rolled shrimps'. Very tasty, indeed.

Town House Restaurant

Reviewed By scottie6561

The chicken, potatoes and gravy, the cornbread, and the pork cutlets are my favorites. I love getting the cornbread especially when warm. Sweet and salty and has a good crunch on the outside. The chicken breast (only type you can get) are very good. You can get them fried or baked and I prefer fried. The potatoes and gravy are very good just needs some salt and pepper. Last but not least the pork cutlets are not tender but crunchy and very delicious with gravy. The service is very nice and they always ask you for refills. You don't need any pies because this place will fill you up. Hard to find but it's close to a big intersection before the bridge. Always packed so get there early!!

JJ's BBQ

Reviewed By tabithapenn

This is a little bitty hole in the wall place. You order at the counter, make your own drink, and find a seat. They do charge a surcharge using a credit card. The food was really good. The fish was excellent. It's on my list of places to try again!

Fayrays

Reviewed By abbagrace

This is a marvelous little bistro-style restaurant with a great menu, and a nice wine list. I had a grilled salmon with a corn salsa (yummy!) and husband had grilled snapper topped with shrimp and chunks of crab. All was delicious! The prices are about what you'd expect for this type restaurant, and the service was wonderful.

Griffin Restaurant

Reviewed By swTXSU

Very nice restaurant. Has a table right in front of the stage. Singer was incredible. Was visiting from out of town with some old friends I haven’t seen in years. Menu has many choices including fried chicken, which you don’t see everyday in an upscale restaurant. I had the scallops and they were perfect. My companions had the smoked pork chops, with no complaints. The only discount was the people who ordered non-alcoholic drinks didn’t get theirs until or salads had already arrived.

Johnny B's Grill

Reviewed By joannreu

Food good -like home cooking. Portions big. Prices reasonable. Need more waitresses as went without a refill on drink for a long time. Very dirty floor, windows, etc. have to walk through part of kitchen to get to bathroom and it was filthy. Kitchen where they cook food really dirty. Could easily be a 5 with a little improvement.
