    Steak is excellent, just which they could incorporate a few more side options maybe 2-3 additional options besides shoestring fench fries, bake potato or mash potatoes, asparagus, or spinach or even sweet potatoes I believe this will increase traffic to the restaurant tremendously.

    The food was just fair—-salad was warm— steak was slightly overcooked, the fries, drinks and bread was good. Service was fine being it was New Year eve and busy. Value was not good for the quality of food. Would have rather went to Texas Roadhouse for better quality of food. The ambience was energetic and welcomed for the occasion. A one and done!

    Felt rushed. Our reservation was for 545 pm with enough time to see the fireworks. Our server seemed disinterested in us. I asked if there was a mocktail menu, she pointed to the wall and said you can get these without alcohol. No description. After my husband finished his portion she removed his dishes and silverware. I said don’t they offer an additional serving? She said she thought we’d been served and had to bring fresh dishes etc. our next visit she said ready for the check? Not if we wanted dessert or another glass of iced tea? ( remember no help with a mocktail menu) We were out in under an hour.

    We spent a very nice NYE dinner at this restaurant. They take reservations which is nice, and we had very good food and great company! Desserts are extra, but huge and was split amongst the four of us. Will definitely be going back, as I think this is a nice find for a lot of reasonably priced food.

    We've been here 3 times and had the same experience each time. Seated right away, served promptly, food was excellent and the prices more then reasonable for the amount of food you get. Definitely recommend.
