We overnighted in Valdosta so I began looking for where to have dinner. We had a favorite BBQ place…read morehere but they were out of most things and almost ready to close. This is good and bad-good because you're not eating yesterday's food and bad because you have to look for something else. Thanks to Yelp, Rico's Tacos was just down the street so we said, "why not". Rico's has a pretty extensive menu but we opted for tacos. There were many varieties offered and each taco could be customized by choosing the type of tortilla and whatever garnishes such as onions, tomato, peppers, cilantro etc. you wanted. We both ordered a carne asada and al Pastor tacos. Another wonderful find. these tacos were unbelievably good with great meats and flavors. We also sampled the standard and "hot" salsas preferring the hot. Service was quick and friendly. I'll also add "patient" as this was our first time and we had lots of decisions to make. Rico's is another stop to add to our driving south (and back home) list.

I even change my travel plans so I can get some of the amazing food here. I eat "carnivore" and their Keto Tacos are simply delicious and perfect for me.

I think the…read moremenu can be a little hard to understand and that there are a lot of add ons available but which will increase the price. One thing I always like to point out is service and part of the service is knowing your product. The person behind the register is your first contact and that person really has to have some clue as to the menu. When I asked what the difference between a jr and regular burger was, I was told nothing they are both a half ounce. Yikes! I told the person I don't think either is a half ounce. They tried again to explain but again the answer was incorrect. They finished their answer with 'You know what I mean' but in fact I didn't. lol! Anyway, I know this is a chain with followers so I'm sure they will do well. I just think they will succeed more by having a knowledgeable staff. Best of luck!

My favorite is the breadsticks they are soft and garlicky. Yummmy!

The food is always piping hot pasta and served fast! My lunch was delicious and it was a $7.99 special that comes with a drink and their famous buttery garlic bread sticks. I chose the Alfredo and spaghetti. Both were delicious and satisfying. Rarely, I order dessert but I never pass up the Fazoli's strawberry icee. It is so refreshing with tasty real strawberries! They actually partner with The Cheesecake Factory and serve cheesecake. So that should tell you this place has high standards! I noticed that they even have catering services. Clean restaurant with a friendly staff that will strike up a conversation that makes you feel welcomed! You order a meal at the counter and they will bring the meal to your table. I always appreciate that! Fazoli's is my favorite road trip destination, when traveling. This location is Valdosta, perfect for lunch on our way home from Florida! There aren't many locations in GA and zero near my home. So when you see a billboard advertisement swing by and give Fazoli's a try!

The evening was absolute perfection. I was surprised with the employees that were actually happy to…read morebe there. That is hard to find these days. I have to give some shout outs to the staff that took great care of myself and others. First off, Miss Jimekia helped us immediately and continued service with a great smile while also delivering kindness. Then there was Miss Hollie asking if anyone needed anything, while asking in the most sincere and polite way possible. Which again, I must say is something you rarely see in establishments these day. Last but not least, Miss Meia. Oh my goodness, she went above and beyond to help all customers while keeping that beautiful smile the whole time. I have been in the Hospitality industry for a very long time and is very hard to keep that smile and be nice but she did. Two thumbs up or five stars all the way around

From my first phone call with Mia to the moment we walked out the door, the service was exceptional. Managing a large group of hungry, hot, and thirsty athletes and parents isn't easy, but Mia handled it effortlessly. She stayed on top of everything with a smile and made sure no one was waiting for food, drinks, or anything else. She truly made our experience memorable. The food was just as impressive! I ordered the pork nachos, and they were incredible. My husband loved the ribs and mac & cheese. Around the table, the wings and grits were also huge favorites--but honestly, everyone raved about their meals. Not a single complaint from anyone in our group! The restaurant itself was spacious without being overly loud, making it easy for our large group to enjoy our meal together. Even the restrooms were spotless, and the sparkly countertops were such a fun touch. If you're traveling with a large group, definitely call ahead--and if you can, ask for Mia. She went above and beyond, and I can confidently say you won't be disappointed. We can't wait to come back!

I get my burger to go which I ordered plain. 10 minutes down the road (I'm just passing through on long trip) and I take my first bite and there is a strong mustard flavor. I take off the bun and it's evident they had put ketchup and mustard on it then realized their mistake. Instead of making a fresh one they must have just scraped what they could off of it. Of course I can still see the mustard in the patty and bacon and it essentially ruined the burger for me as I hate mustard. Too far to go back so just a waste of $17 plus $2 tip that I added at register. Zero stars if I could leave it

Hiring Oompa Loompas might be better. 2 burgers, small fry, 2 drinks, cost 35 bucks, almost equivalent to having a steak dinner. Nothing special, it's a burger joint. Restaurant needed to be cleaned, but alas no Oompa Loompas to accomplish that here. Bun was soggy, fries were lukewarm. Yum...not. Plenty of choices around, the owner/franchisee should consider spending time here, especially in the evenings, he might actually make more money if the crew performed their jobs better and quicker.
