    Stopped in for lunch while doing some shopping. Very clean and decorated nicely inside. The staff…read morewere outstanding and attentive even though they were busy with the lunch time crowd. Corn chips and salsa were brought to us as soon as we were seated. The salsa was great! It had a little bite to it, not just the usual mild salsa. When you order, keep in mind the portions are large. I ordered the Chili Poblano's and two Tamales. The Poblano's came with rice and refried beans. The Poblano's also had seasoned ground beef on them. The flavors were great, probably now my favorite restaurant Poblano's . I had to bring the tamales home, they are huge! They tasted great the next day, they were covered, with chili beans, mole sauce and cheese. They tasted great! My wife had the Enchiladas Tapatias which she said was delicious! We will be going back to eat there again!

The music playing was a bit loud and it only got louder which made it difficult to hear one another. That aside, the service was good and attentive even as busy as they became. They were patient with us as we stayed a while talking. Food- the chips and salsa are addictively good. Portions are very generous. I had the pina loca which was very tasty, but the chorizo needs to be hotter. I enjoyed it still. My wife and I love Mexican food, but she did not care for the rice or beans and barely ate her meal. Costly as it was over $75 for three dinners.

    This place has been a reliable stop for me over many years of traveling through the area…read more They do all of the things that you hope for in a low cost Mexican restaurant. They have a wide variety of items on the menu, the preparation is generous but not so fancy that they end up having to charge more. You know what you're getting in a place like this. Basic, reliable, but also delicious! I always take out as a great sign in a Mexican restaurant if the white staff has difficulty speaking English, that is the case here, lol. Having said that every server I've ever had has always been super friendly and welcoming to me. Over the years I've typically gone with their Pollo Loco, which is a simple dish prepared with thin slices of chicken over rice with cheese sauce. I have often lamented that I can't get this particular dish back home. The chicken is always tender, and the cheese sauce is always perfect. Nice crispy chips and delicious not too hot salsa complete the experience. About the only thing I haven't done here is have an alcoholic beverage, on my most recent visit my wife had a margarita and indicated it was delicious. I'm so glad this place is here, and frankly I wish they would open a location in my hometown.

    Well, if you know Beckett's, you already know how good the food is, how extensive the menu is, how…read morecosy the booths are, how legendary the location is, and even how convenient it is to locate and to park your car conveniently and for free. But right now I'm here specifically to add to that list of reasons to choose Beckett's: **Her name is Whittney.** She was our server yesterday. In a room literally filled with other diners, she made my husband and I just feel SO welcome and comfortable. I could hear her running through the orders at adjacent tables, explaining the burger menu and following up to clarify side orders, but she was poised and gracious, taking the time it took and never sounding rushed. Plus there was her huge smile...Amazing! We live about 200 miles away from Beckett's so it might be a while until we can return, but if you're luckier than we are and can get there in fewer than hour(s), go see Whittney at Beckett's. While that delicious burger is making your stomach happy, she'll lift your spirits and make you feel glad all over that you came.

It was a busy day, loud and the service was slow and spotty. But I'm warming up to the new place. Still miss the meatloaf though.

    On our way home from Kelly's Island after about an hour drive with ferry, this brewery in Bowling…read moreGreen was available before we hit I 75 going south We were greeted and seated immediately and told the name of our server. We were able to taste from a small selection of draft craft beers. We chose a wheat and cider but opted for the cider. Good taste. Not too sweet and a definite aftertaste of berries. Yum. The service was so quick but it was a Monday afternoon before school began. My friend ordered a churrizo burrito. I ordered a chicken wrap with fries. This place offers a coffee shop, craft cocktails wine and beer along with an unusual selection of healthy ( salads and grain bowls) to not so healthy (smash burger and fries) food. I love the spacious rooms and woodwork everywhere. Wish this place was nearby.

    Heading home we decided to search yelp for a brewery to eat a late lunch and picked Juniper. It…read morehad been a couple of years since we had been to Bowling Green and so Juniper was new to us. The atmosphere is not typical college and comes across a bit more classy. The beer selection was decent and the brew I chose, Interstellar Overdrive was well balanced and excellent. In a college town the only way to differentiate yourself as a restaurant is to be different. Juniper offers some unique options and specialities. Not necessarily your typical brew food. I had the wings with the house sauce and they were very good. My wife had the burger (with a house sauce) and it was tasty. Prices are reasonable and our server was great (a business major). Gauging a restaurant in a college town by its service is tricky because of the constant turnover so maybe we were lucky or management has a good eye when hiring. Definitely recommend stopping by fig you are in the neighborhood.
