Riverside Grille - (Near Beaumont, TX)

James A Authentic Turkish brunch! Ladino is nestled in the entrance to The Pearl and despite being a Michelin Bib Gourmand winner, it feels like the Pearl’s best kept secret. People casually walk by it on their way into the Pearl, and as we were sitting there enjoying some of the best Turkish food I’ve ever eaten, I found myself asking how it was possible more people weren’t lining up to try and get a table. The staff is friendly and welcoming; you feel like you have sat down in a Turkish home where you are the guest of honor. The ambiance is warm and full of Turkish inspired decor that gives you the comforting feeling of authenticity. Instantly knew we had made the right choice to come here. Now, to the food. Come hungry and be prepared to have your palate mesmerized. Each bite is bursting with unique flavors that tantalize the senses. Everything is fresh and expertly prepared. Don’t be afraid to take their delicious flatbread and load it up with a little bit of everything. This is the kind of brunch where there are no rules, and you should experiment with the different cheese, homemade jams, and the olives…oh my the olives. Trust me when I tell you to give yourself a solid two hours for this brunch. Paired with a delicious Lalo bloody and a Turkish Cold-Brew , you are not going to want to leave the table!

Kara Passmore Outstanding Experience at Cheddar’s! I went to Cheddar’s for the first time tonight, and in all my years living in Texas, I’ve never had such excellent service and food at such a great price. From the moment we walked in, the experience was wonderful — the host at the front greeted us warmly, asked how we were doing, and even checked to make sure the seats she offered were to our liking. We genuinely felt cared for from the very start. The atmosphere was phenomenal — the lighting was easy on the eyes, the space felt classy, and the music was at the perfect volume: noticeable but still great for conversation. The seating was also very comfortable and stylish. Our waiter, Lucas, was absolutely amazing. He was upbeat, attentive, and checked on us at just the right times. His positive energy carried through to every table he served, and you could tell he truly enjoyed his job. It was also a nice touch that the manager stopped by to check in with us — something many higher-priced restaurants don’t even do. As for the food, everything was phenomenal. The burger was thick, juicy, and had that perfect flame-grilled flavor rather than just a pan-seared one. The fries were crisp on the outside and soft and fluffy inside. The ribs were tender, well-coated in barbecue sauce without being smothered, and had a generous amount of meat — unlike many other places that charge more for less. Overall, this was one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. From the moment we were greeted to the last bite of food, everything was exceptional. I’ll definitely be coming back — and asking for Lucas again!

Chetan Salian Begin my review with a huge shoutout to Cade! Not only did he put us at ease as this was our first visit here but when we mixed up on our order he so sweetly corrected it and got us exactly what we had wanted and ordered in the first place! Just to be clear I am looking forward to coming back just for the human interaction with Cabe and other staff as they were all so courteous and friendly! Next about the ambience : it was unusually warm for a winter eve, so we decided to sit out in the patio and boy did we thoroughly enjoy watching the sunsets over the horizon - some deep pink colors amongst others! Finally about the food- we were blown away by the quality AND quantity of food in each dish we ordered. We started off with some chilled beers and half order of Fried Green Tomatoes which were made so well! Next we ordered the Sweet n Heat burger which we got split in half to share. The burger was perfectly medium rare and a huge portion with some real crispy fries. We were full by the time we finished our portions But We had also ordered the Pot Roast with Asparagus and Mashed Potatoes n Gravy, again split to share! Delectable as it was, we were overstuffed by then, so we decided to take most of it as to go to relish the next day. Do note - all the splits were free and provided with a smile ! We are definitely coming back as we heard they make a wonderful Blackened Chicken Alfredo with pasta but only served as a special on some weekends! Anyway all their dishes are fresh, tasty and in huge portions and priced very correctly so hardly a reason not to return!

Jeanne Pinion This restaurant has a little more of an old school, authentic German vibe. Ive eaten here a few times and it is always a big portion and delicious. This time I wanted something a little lighter and got the smaller portion of the Hungarian stew over herbed egg noodles. The food and service were speedy. The stew hit the spot and tasted like something perhaps your grandmother made.

S P R A roadside gem! For starters, they have 3 different types of BBQ sauce that they keep in warmers! What a small - yet significant - attention to detail that actually DOES impact the BBQ experience. Brisket could have been a bit juicer, but we assume it had to do with the time of day and section of cut we got. Mac n cheese was ultra creamy. The smokey beans were far superior to the jalapeno beans. The bread roll (which most assume is an afterthought) was actually the STAR of our meal, imo. FREE soft serve ice cream cone with every purchase!

Anita Ortiz This is the most comfortable place to hangout at day or night the mango shrimp stuff was amazingly delicious I enjoyed music and waitresses were very helpful and cleannnn.
