Kendall McGovern I have to brag on the Madison, GA location!!! They are always personable and helpful, food is always delish, hot, and fresh... and the whole store... including the bathrooms are always super clean. Thanks yall. This is the only bojangles I go to anymore.

Richard Davis What many owners / operators of restaurants fail to grasp is your staff IS your success. You can have a prime location, with the most wonderful food, and great prices. Yet, the people who directly interact with your patrons will be your face. My party interacted with Leann. I have nothing I can contribute regarding the rest of the Ricardo team, but when you visit... ASK FOR LEANN. Food was great... but thats expected right? Prices were reasonable... a good thing. But Leann took AWESOME care of us. Honestly, all the food was good. I know my team had the calamari, shrimp and peta bread. We had the salmon, filets, beef tips, and lasagna. I seem to recall the dessert my guys trying was the peanut butter pie, salted caramel cake, and a couple of other things. No-one had any complaints regarding anything they had. BUT... I asked so Leann nudged me to the Banana Pie!!! O-M-G!!! Skip the meal and get THAT pie! Leann is now my FAVORITE HUMAN!

Tara Miller Kiki was our server and she was super nice, fast and friendly. Our food came out fast and exactly as ordered. We never had empty drinks and it was all delicious. We’ll definitely come back

Aracelis Saladin Loves is a reliable stop with everything you need on the go. The store is convenient, and the gas pumps are easy to access. Yhis particular store is bigger and has a pozza restaurant inside, which is a nice bonus for a quick meal. Not the newest or flashiest place, but it gets the job done!

Rika Joubert If you have a sweet tooth, this is the place to be. Its not my favourite place to grab ice cream from as its way too sweet, and even if I take the smallest serving, its still too sweet to finish. The quality of the contents is very good, I have to give them that.

TopDawg Junk Removal I dropped by Tequila’s – Mexican Grill last weekend and had a surprisingly chill, solid dinner experience. From the moment I walked in, it felt warm and inviting — not flashy, but cozy enough for a relaxed night out. The dining room had that casual Latin-tavern vibe: soft music in the background, just enough chatter to feel alive but still laid-back enough that you could really enjoy your meal and conversation. I started with chips and salsa, which came out quick and tasted good — a nice salty, fresh prelude before the main dishes. Then I ordered tacos and a chimichanga, along with a margarita to go with it. The tacos had good flavor and freshness; the tortillas weren’t too heavy, the fillings were well-seasoned, and everything felt balanced. The chimichanga was more indulgent — crispy, cheesy, and satisfying. Portion sizes were more than enough — I left feeling full but not overloaded. The vibe of the place worked well for a casual dinner. The staff was friendly and attentive: they checked on us enough without crowding, refilling drinks and asking if we needed anything else. It felt like one of those restaurants that works whether you come alone, with a date, or with a group — easy, unpretentious, and decent all around. What I liked most: Tequila’s gave me comfort-food vibes. Good flavors, fair portions, and mellow ambiance. It might not blow you away if you’re hunting for gourmet Mexican, but if you want a relaxed, tasty dinner out where you don’t have to overthink, this place scratches the itch. I’d go back any time I’m around and craving Mexican food.

Andrea Cesare We had a superb dinner at the dining room this past Friday! We stayed at the Georgia Safari Conservation Park and made the quick trip into Madison to The Dining Room. The decor and atmosphere are on point - the music and lighting set the tone - you know you are somewhere special when you walk in the door and take it in! The service was excellent - thank you Andrew! Andrew also created our cocktails and did not disappoint. Everyone we came in contact with was warm, welcoming and wonderful! I haven’t even commented on the meal yet!! Delightful, delicious, creative, surprising are all words that apply. The plates were gorgeous and Chef killed the presentation. We chose the Chef’s Selection 4 course menu with wine pairings. We were not disappointed. I told my husband that the actual course experience blew away the description (impressive) of the course on the menu…. This is rare and seldom happens. Don’t miss dessert… The Dining Room excels at all things baked, whipped, creamed and sugared! It was my 60th birthday and it was amazing! Thanks you for making it so memorable and special. We will be back!

Jeff Pelasky I have stopped many times at this truck stop that serves/sells Godfathers Pizza and only bought by the slice(s) or the small personal pan. Last night I decided to get a whole pie to take home. My god this pizza was so heavy. They load it with a lot of toppings and cheese. I love cheese. But not this much. LOL!! I like to see my pizza. :-) Next time I get a whole pie, and yes I will again some day will buy another. I will request that they not put so much cheese on. You get your money worth for sure.

Raquel Trinidad Was in the area, visiting this location from jax. Fla. Friendly staff. Clean restaurant. Food was fresh and hot. Didnt have to wait long and the staff brought the food to our table. Would recommend if your in the area.

Pamela Parker Wish they where open longer. Great food and atmosphere.

Lacy West This is my first time at Happy China, but it will not be my last. The food was delicious, and the service was great! I would recommend.

GERNODT ZEPRAT (ZEPRATGERNODT) April 16, 2025 8:25 am I originally wanted Chipotle, but when I pulled up sat and watched through the windows AND THEN READ THE REVIEWS… I knew I was going to have to find another spot. So I thought CB. It had been a long time, so why not. Now keep in mind that when I walked in and stood next to the booth waiting to be met by the attendant no less than seven employees made eye contact and not a one (even three that walked directly past me) would not utter a word of acknowledgment. Almost as if they were to say something, the gods of Greek yore would hold them accountable and strike them down for speaking and not helping. I was standing there so long I almost took it personally for being the guy standing there with the Afro and one of the clowns of culture that even make my own good folks hang their heads in shame for the 15% that make us look bad. I didn’t want to take that line of negative thinking and instead chalked it up to poor and ineffective training by management and poor social skills of the employees who did not ask if I was ok, if I had been helped or if I need anything in general. Eventually, a young lady came to the booth and seated me at a window table. I was later greeted by KAYLEIGH, and she was very good at attending to my needs. I got the feeling she would have rather been off work or something, but the possible pretending to care was good enough for me. The food was good and I left satisfied but slightly disappointed with the service that came before the meal. Maybe there is something that goes on in that community I’m not aware of or maybe in was a bad day to pass through this town but I still give it five stars since it was my own unique experience and perception.

Carly Greenfield We visited Crowes for our first time today and it was overall a great experience!! The pulled pork, turkey, Brunswick stew, Mac n cheese & coleslaw were all Delicious!! The place was clean and the staff were all friendly. We appreciated Gavin, who recommended our dishes & went above and beyond to provide us with excellent customer service! We highly recommend this place… so go get your BBQ on at Crowes!!

Robert Fisher This is place is Southern cookin all the way! Its a meat & two with sides that are perfectly seasoned. The fried chicken has just the right amount of crispy coating and the pork chops are tasty, too. Save room for Grandmas homemade Red Velvet cake. Oh, and the staff are beyond friendly and helpful. Be sure to leave them a little something to show your appreciation.
