    Not sure where you could get a better value for your dining dollar than at Borage. The food is fantastic, the portions are huge, and the service is great. Go there on a Thursday, order the chicken dinner, and tell me I'm wrong. What a fantastic addition to the dining options in Speedway.

    We love this restaurant! Invited friends for a holiday luncheon and it was perfect. Service is attentive. The delicious food is the Star! My guests enjoyed the Gooey Go let turkey sandwich with delicious thick turkey. Pimento cheese sandwich was a hit as were breakfast options.

    Had a great time. Amazing food! Good service! Cool atmosphere. Only criticism would be that the tables are really close together, but that would not prevent me from going back.

    Borage is unlike any other restaurant I have been. Every detail is well thought out. The food is of the highest quality. Praise to the owners for what they do and how they do it. Highly suggest you go. 10/10.

    We had a table of 8. Everyone shared their apps and plates. The mussels are my new favorite along with the pavalova. Dana was our amazing server. We always feel so welcomed. Absolutely love the ambiance at night…romantic and festive

    This was our first time at Borage. We loved the atmosphere and everyone was so friendly. We tried a few of the appetizers and I highly recommend the mushrooms. All of the food was great and our server was attentive and so nice. Can’t wait to go back!!
