We walked in back in middle of August and the place smelled like old mop water. We were not impressed with the food. It was mediocre. Waiting staff was slow but very nice. They were not busy. The food was brought out at different times and was at room temperature. This was our first time visiting . We may try them again in the future and give a different rating. Maybe they were just having a bad day or something.

Came here for lunch today, and everything was amazing! Steaks were perfectly cooked and delicious! Morgan's service was outstanding. She's very knowledgeable and anticipated all of our needs! Will definitely be back when visiting again!

The food quality here is absolutely atrocious. The rolls look and taste like they were frozen, the steak quality is grainy and not the cuts on the menu, and the onions rings taste like plastic. As far as the patty melt and burgers, I’ve seen better quality at McDonald’s. Which is fitting, as it’s a much better idea to go across the street to McDonald’s than eat here.

Todate management hasn't responded: After I entered the front door
There was no enthusiasm or welcome
I asked for seating in the Bar area as I like to not be in the restaurant where there's no booth usually-
So with out a word was taken to a booth in the dining area. The booth had both table & wall damage -
Mind you including all the times I've come, the GM has never stopped to welcome me or ask if everything was good.
The waitress acted like I was an interuption to her day. She took all day to bring my
water & wine. Rolls 🥐 which are complimentary weren't offered.
When she took my order no smile
I was unhappy with the sweet potato casserole as it was yucky & small
& the steak was only ok
Yet NOT 1 time did she ask if it was ok. Towards the end of my meal I was never asked if I wanted a desert
She Just dropped off the check
I left an appropriate tip per experience
Then I could see her drop my Bank card on the Floor ⬇️🚫
She must thought I didn't see that
Every time I pay hard earned 💯💵 I should be Thanked

Great Steaks and Service.
First time we have been in a few years. The steak I got was way down compared to the last time I went. I looked like scrap's pieces together. Or something I would have gotten at a cheap buffet. I was really disappointed cause I always loved Briquettes. The Rolls were hard and cold even though she said they were right out of the oven. I can understand this if it was very busy but they were pretty empty at the time and mostly standing around looking like statues. I'm hoping this was a fluke and Mobiles best steak house has not gone to the Dogs like so many others have lately. But this was so very sad
Update: Aug 25 had to send both steaks back cause they were way overcooked. Think the cook forgot they were on the grill. Cause only one side was cooked but both well done. Second steak both sides cooked to perfection.

They have great lunch specials, love their filet mignon and their appetizers are good as well. Salads are fresh. Do wish they would bring back the Ribs at least once a week deal.
Ribeyes were excellent. Medium rare cooked to perfection. The grilled broccoli was very good as well. The sweet potato was perfect. And the server Carl did a great job. A little over $70 for 2 meals.

Hubby was in the mood for a birthday steak so went for the first time last night. At first glance the decor is nice and the place is fairly well kept up. However after standing there a few minutes, we noticed a strange smell-my son likened it to gym socks. It was fairly strong-maybe they had a roof leak and water issue at one point? It was so strong and pervasive it really affected my enjoyment of the meal.
Service: We were there a little before 5, and it took at least a good 10 minutes to be acknowledged by a server after we were seated. Drinks were slow to be refilled and it took a long while to bring the check. Server was just kind of blase. Being a little more outgoing and chatty would probably have netted a higher tip. She didn't suggest drinks or appetizers like other places usually do.
Now, for the food. Hubby always gets rare ribeyes when we go out, so he ordered that, son got the chicken alfredo, I got the patty melt.
Hubbys steak was thin so wasn't really rare, more like a medium well. Potato was good, as was the broccoli.
Son liked his pasta and mac n cheese but I thought the mac and cheese by it's texture had sat out for a while and microwaved or something-was tough in places.
My patty melt was ok, not really a true patty melt in terms of taste and the texas toast was kinda soggy. The fries were really good though-crispy on the outside and tender inside.
All in all, wasn't really a great experience and the smell definitely means I probably wouldn't go back unless I knew it had been alleviated-hard to enjoy a meal with the gym sock/mildewy smell. Wish we had chosen somewhere else for the birthday.

They just couldn’t get medium rare correct. She didn’t even come back to check if the steak was cooked right after the second time. Which was still overcooked.

I asked for well-done salmon and got medium twice. The flavor was there i really just wish it would have been cooked all the way through as requested. Everyone else at the table enjoyed there food which is why I have 3 stars.
