I rated River City Tavern and Grill as five star restaurant, simply because it is truly a remarkable place to eat. Not to mention, they have great food and space to entertain anyone looking to have a romantic dinner for two, a business meeting, or just a casual drink. I would recommend this place to anyone.

Cheddar's
Atmosphere: 5
When you are standing outside looking at the landscape and building, it looked like you were standing outside of Martha Stewart’s house.

Food: 5
The food tasted just like Wolfgang Puck prepared it himself in the kitchen.

Service: 5
The waiter was extremely attractive. I was inclined to think he was a model for Abercrombie & Fitch. But not only being gorgeous, this young man was very well mannered and waited on us hand and foot.

Warmth & Memories

While I sit in my grandparents warm household on Meadow Lane, I reminisce on the memories and moments I cherished with my family here. Celebrating the holidays together. Enjoying the time spent with my beautiful family in such a warm place. All of it still feels real to me. But after losing both of my grandparents very recently, I felt spending time in this house would bring back the memories of when my grandfather and grandmother were still alive. Being here, did just that. When I look out the window, I see my family and I playing in the yard, helping my grandfather clear the snow, and most of all, feeling loved.

Restaurant/Dining Review

Logan’s Roadhouse (rating scale:  1–unacceptable, 2–poor, 3–fair, 4–good, 5–exceptional)

·         Ambiance – rated 5

o   This restaurant has a very laid-back atmosphere.  The slogans such as “Come as You Are” and “Cut Loose” emphasize the easy-going ambiance of Logan’s.  The staff uniforms are informal.  Dim, but sufficient, lighting and homey décor are relaxing.  Also, fun murals and music invite you to relax.

·         Cleanliness – rated 4

o   Other than the peanut shell-covered floor, a unique characteristic of Logan’s, the restaurant was very clean.  From the dining area to the restroom, everything was tidy, organized, and provided all necessities.

·         Food Quality – rated 5

o   The food I have ordered was always cooked as asked, especially the steaks with their tender moistness.  The fresh rolls given shortly after being seated were warm and soft.  Fresh crisp salads and perfectly cooked vegetables were quite satisfactory. 

·         Service – rated 5

o   I have never experienced unsatisfactory service at Logan’s.  The host/hostess, servers, and managers have always been polite, friendly, and attentive. 

·         Presentation – rated 5

o   The food presentation at Logan’s was impeccable.  I could tell that my food would taste as good as it looked.  With all food items placed with care, my meal was almost too pretty to eat.  Everything was visibly fresh.

Rating Score:  24–Exceptional

I strongly recommend trying Logan’s Roadhouse if you haven’t done so already.  This restaurant is perfect for anyone who enjoys great food and service in a laid-back atmosphere!

Texas Roadhouse

Presentation: Texas Roadhouse is definitely a family place to eat. The building was filled with all kinds of pictures of country artist, the deer that locals have shot, to different Nascar memorabilia. There are T.Vs located around the inside. The floor was a mess with peanut shells alll over the place. With that being said I give it a 5 out of 10, just because there's really nothing wrong with it but it's nothing too exciting either.

Atmosphere: The atmosphere was very noisy, which could be because I went on the most crowed night, a Saturday. Everyone in there was mostly families out to eat with each other. At the bar was mostly people who just got off of work to come enjoy themselves and watch a game. The atmosphere was very warming seeing all the familes enjoying ones company. It was not a rowdy country bar it was definitly a down home family restaurant. I rate atmosphere a 8 out of 10

Service: My service was Outstanding! The place was packed and the wait was long but when I was seated I never felt like I waited long at all. My waitress immediatly got out drinks we ordered and placed our order in for our food. We never had to ask for refills on our drinks she was bringing them to us before we were even gone. At Texas Roadhouse they do line dancing and when they started doing it in front of us she was very apologetic. Our food was brought out to us served hot, and it only took about 15 to 20 minutes. Needless to say we left her a very big tip and rated this a 10 out of 10.

Food: I ordered the six ounce steak, and steak fries half loaded and half not, recommended by our waitress. The steak was amazing, very tender and juciy. It was cooked just right, medium well.  The fries where to die for, covered in real cheese and real bacon and laying in the jucies of the steak. I could not have asked for a better meal. I rated the food a 9 out of 10.

Total of 32 out of 40
