Came here to support the 4 horseman challenge. And wowsers, how could one prepare. Hubby and I had the Chunkys special and ate outside in the beautiful weather. Despite the sweat drops from fella eating the super hot burger. Burgers, fries, tots, fried mushrooms we cooked and season to perfection! Sitting outside, we ordered inside and had a seat. Food was delivered timely, and we got our own refills... bottom line service was great. Enjoyed watching the four Horsemen challenge. I mayyyy be next.

Love this painting!!

We haven't been back to chunky's in several years. The oldest wanted it. So off we went after church service. I won't make this one terribly long since we didn't order a lot. I had the Monterrey, the midget had a regular cheeseburger, and the oldest minion had the Island burger. We had the chili cheese fries, and frings and frots(half onion rings/ half regular fries). I will start with the negatives this time to change it up. First, I don't like when you order and they say they are out of items. We love the bottle caps, part of the reason we came. Only to be told, "the truck hasn't come in yet?". Then I attempted to order the Tejas bbq burger to then be told they had no bbq for the burger?!?! What a start huh? The food...the chili cheese fries were by far the most disappointing part of the meal. The chili was, ummm, well not very good. As my oldest said, just a slight bit higher than canned. It just had an off flavor to me. Not very appetizing. Then the regular fries had no seasoning. No salt, no pepper, no nothing. Let's get on with what we liked. The burgers were all pretty good. I can't believe I'm saying this, but the buns they used for the burgers were spectacular! Wow. The meat was adequately seasoned and cooked. Very filling and great portion for the price. My Monterrey I felt had waaaay too much guac on it, but other than that it was very good. The guac kind of drowned out the other ingredients from bite to bite. The regular cheeseburger was good too. But my oldest minions island burger was delicious. Perfect balance of sweet and savory! Table fav!!!! The onion rings were also quite good! Is it the best burger joint in town, no, not even close. It's a quality burger, and worth the price. Maybe if they had what we originally wanted it would have been a higher score. Maybe not?

Burger was great! Cheeseburger with jalapenos (talk about spicy), bacon (just the right balance of crispy and limp), lettuce, and onions). So juicy and flavorful. The fries were highly disappointing. Absolutely no seasoning, not even salt. They didn't taste hot or fresh just like eating cardboard unfortunately. Would come back for the burgers but maybe see if they have other sides.

So I actually visited the restaurant twice in one week because the jalapeño burger was so good I had to go back. Each time I will say the warm customer service and attention to my experience was top notch. I have to share that I killed a cockroach that was crawling up the side of the wall where I was sitting and then I gave it to the waitress to throw away. Besides that I would recommend highly

I always enjoy a good burger at this place, they are usually consistent with their burgers but this time my son & I both thought our burgers were very dry. Normally i would give them a solid four stars but today it was more like a weak three stars. This was not the norm, usually they are very juicy and delicious. They were not busy today... we had tots & fries in 5 minutes and burgers in ten minutes. I don't know how they made the burgers so fast if they were so WELL DONE.... Maybe they were precooked I dunno... but they were DRY! Staff is always very friendly and the restaurant is always clean and organized. I really enjoy that they have so many varieties of burgers. Also they have good tots, fries and onion rings.

Cheeseburger

Burgers are huge! Juicy, cooked just right and everything in my burger was fresh and delicious! As soon as we walked in we were greeted at the door with a menu. Service was top notch. They have an outdoor area and indoor with music playing. A cool hangout place. Bike night last Thursday of the month for those motorcyclists. Plus Adam Richman from Man vs Food has visited and eaten here. Highly recommend it!!

Tejas Burger and onion rings.
Scott M.

Service was wonderful! I went on a Sunday just before Church crowd. Waitress went out of her way to get my order in first. Onion rings are nothing special. Burger was hot and quite good.

My friend and I enjoyed her birthday dinner here last month during Restaurant Week…read more We had no reservation but were quickly and immediately sat upon arrival at around 5pm on a Thursday evening. Our server was great - knowledgable about the menu and personable. We had a nice meal here and I ended it with delicious coffee. We both ordered from the Restaurant Week 3-Course menu. My friend tried: -Toasted Cauliflower Soup with Pumpkin and Sesame Seeds -Crispy Smoked Quail with Pickled Corn Relish and Mashed Potatoes I tried: -Red Pear and Spinach Salad with Radicchio, Pecans, White Cheddar and Sherry Vinaigrette -Halibut with Green Pepper, White Beans, Castelvetrano Olives and Herbs For dessert: -Caramelized Fig and Ricotta Upside-Down Cake with Pistacio Crumble and Mascarpone We both got the same dessert and it was delicous! Served warm and comforting - like butter cake! Heavy, but veryyyyyy good. Ambiance is nice bc it's inside the beautiful Hotel Emma and on the River Walk with a lovely patio overlooking the water.

My wife and I went to Supper at Hotel Emma for our anniversary, and we couldn't have asked for a better evening. We sat at the kitchen bar, which ended up being one of the highlights of the night. It was so much fun watching the chefs work, and everyone in the kitchen was incredibly friendly, personable, and welcoming. To make the night even more special, they prepared a few dishes specifically for our anniversary. That personal touch meant so much to us and made the entire evening feel truly memorable. The food was excellent, but what really stood out was the experience and the people. Supper went above and beyond to make our anniversary feel special, and we left feeling like we had celebrated somewhere truly unique. I'd highly recommend Supper at Hotel Emma for anyone looking to celebrate a special occasion. If you're lucky enough to sit at the kitchen bar, definitely do it!

I noticed it didn't seem to be as popular as some of the other options, so I have to say... don't sleep on this delightful, light, brothy wine stew! Each piece of seafood was perfectly poached, soaking up all that delicious flavor while adding its own sweet seafood lovin' to the broth. The steak was also cooked perfectly. I've done the beverage pairing both times, and while I enjoyed the experience, I don't think I'll order it again--I'm just not an egg cream girl. My friend happily enjoyed it for both of us, though! Another wonderful meal and definitely a place I'll return to.

They have a rolling menu which changes every few days with an app and a few entree and dessert options. While limited, it does prevent analysis paralysis. You have the option of ordering a la carte or getting prie fixe which essentially takes $1 off each course. We went with the prie fixe and I got the drink pairing as well. Overall, enjoyed the dining experience. Didn't really like their aperitif drink but the rest of the drinks and entrees were good. My wife wolfed down the flourless Choco cake. Their egg cream dessert drink tasted like Xmas and was just the right amount. My only criticism is that service pretty much died after the entrees. We had to ask for our dessert ourselves but other than that, had a great experience and would come back.

Overall: Really enjoyed Magpie and would definitely come back!…read more Parking: Easy parking, which is always a plus. We didn't have any trouble finding a spot. Reservations: Made reservations online and the process was super easy. I'd recommend reserving ahead since the restaurant is on the smaller side. Service: Friendly, attentive staff. Everyone was welcoming and helpful throughout the meal. No complaints here. Ambiance: Cute, intimate spot that works really well for a date night. The restaurant is pretty small, though, and can feel a little crowded. We were seated next to the cashier area & felt less intimate. Food: vegetarian review Really good overall, especially if you like creative/seasonal dishes. We're vegetarian and had some good options. Tofu dish: AMAZING -- definitely the standout of the meal. lemon Pasta: Much better than expected and really flavorful. salad: Tried one of the new salads and the fennel was SO good. Fresh and nicely done. Price: A little pricey, but I thought the quality was worth it. We spent around $75 for two people without dessert, which felt reasonable for the quality and type of restaurant. Vegetarian-friendly: Definitely doable for vegetarians, although the options are more limited than at a vegetarian restaurant. Overall: Really enjoyed our dinner. Great food, friendly service, and a nice intimate atmosphere for a date night. The small/crowded space is my only real negative. Would definitely try Magpie again!

Overall: 4.6/5 [dine in]…read more Phenomenal service from start to finish. They were able to seat us on the patio as a walk in on a Saturday night, checked in to offer us a spot by the fireplace when it opened up, kept our water filled throughout the night, and even asked how we wanted our food served. Little touches like that really make a difference. They also brought out complimentary ciabatta bread when we were first seated and then without us asking, brought a fresh batch after our appetizer. The second round was better, with a nice crispy edge that made that satisfying crunch when you squeezed it. Really good with the butter, though if the butter had been just a little saltier it would have been perfect. Beef Carpaccio ($32): Good but average. The individual components were all there but the dish felt like it was missing cohesion. The black sesame parmesan tuiles were a standout though. Georges Bank Seared Sea Scallop ($49): Three huge scallops cooked phenomenally. The mushroom risotto was a bit al dente and on the saltier side, and the mushroom flavor didn't come through as much as I would have liked. The squid ink beurre blanc was lovely though and really brought the dish together. Despite the risotto I would still order this again just for those scallops. Duck and Foie Gras ($46): The duck was cooked beautifully and the foie gras wasn't too heavy, just the right amount. I loved the strawberry arugula salad that came with it. The pairing worked really well overall. I personally didn't think butternut squash was the right puree choice but my husband disagreed and absolutely loved this dish. Foucher Sancerre Rosé ($15 glass): I am usually not a fan of rosé because of how dry they tend to be, but this one was not bad. It tasted much better when paired with food. August Riesling ($12 glass): A yummy, sweet drink that is refreshing and easy to drink. I had to pace myself or I would have finished it before the main courses even came out.

I finally got to try Bliss, thanks to Restaurant Week!…read more We were immediately seated when we got to the restaurant. The waiter greeted us and gave us the option to order from their regular menu or the menu made specifically for Restaurant Week. We went with the edited menu and had an assortment of starters with the tostadas and the wedge salad being the top picks. Our main entrees consisted of the shrimp and grits which was amazingly delicious! The meatballs on the risotto were equally as good. For the desserts, I will say I thoroughly enjoyed my mix berries on the butter cake. Really delicious. Service was great. There was a bit of a long gap in between our starters and the entrees but they made it up with their overall friendly service. PSA for those with hearing challenges, the noise level is quite loud in the restaurant. I will say that I'd like to go back and try their other dishes.
