                  Had to wait on a Sunday Eve even though we had a reservation. Table I had requested not available but hostess said nothing just seated us elsewhere. Waitress was young and I’m guessing new. She was definitely stressed and it showed . She was not very outgoing or friendly. Didn’t feel welcome at all. My filet was tough and not very flavorful. The au gratin potatoes were VERY dry. This was our actual day of our 45th wedding anniversary and we were also celebrating my husband’s 70th birthday. I was very disappointed in the experience.

                  The BEST bang for your buck! I think the prime rib is better than any other place around! Friendly service, very fair prices, including wine! Love this “sneaky” spot!

                  The folks at carvers are great, but their menu is dated and overpriced. The quality of the food is much below what would be expected for the prices paid.
