With a reservation service was very delayed. We ended up going to the bar for drink vs waiting. While we were waiting to be served, we heard a man get up from his table and ask for service. My husband sent back his salmon. The steak was okay. There are other steak houses in the area we prefer.

We went for Thanksgiving dinner. We were so happy to find a nice restaurant serving dinner that night. They were pretty slammed but with a reservation we only had to wait a few minutes to get seated. They took us to a large banquet room upstairs sectioned off by dividers. Luckily they do have an elevator as my elderly mother could not have used the stairway. It was a little funky upstairs, not as nice as downstairs, but quieter. There were lots of uncleared tables. Our server, Louisa was awesome, friendly, and doing a great job. All of the staff were calm, friendly, did not seem flustered by working the holiday. I got a good Old Fashioned. The meal was a set menu with choice of roasted turkey or prime rib. Both were delicious, the prime rib was a little salty on the outside. The portions were large, we couldn't finish and mom will have at least two meals from leftovers. Would definitely go back.

Our waiter, Manny, was fabulous! Food was delicious. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience.

This is our second time we have gone for Thanksgiving dinner and we thought for the price which is expensive it was just okay. Then they charged for dessert in addition to the dinner price which is not worth it. Will most likely be our last time we go there for Thanksgiving dinner.

We enjoyed our visit with friends at Far Western. The food was excellent, along with the service. When ever we are looking for a special meal this is where we always go.

Our last two dinners at Far Western Tavern have been really disappointing. On our previous visit, I had to send my steak back twice and it still wasn't cooked correctly. My boyfriend's steak was overcooked as well. Not sure what's going on with their kitchen staff, but it hasn't been good. Last night was the final straw. I ordered a grilled chicken Caesar salad. They brought out the salad and told me the chicken would be out in about five minutes. Fifteen minutes later, I had already finished the entire salad and still no chicken. The server came back to say they were told it would be another five minutes. At that point I told him to forget it — I was already done with my meal, and my boyfriend had finished his too. The food quality has definitely gone downhill since COVID, and the service has been hit-or-miss at best. We probably won't be back for dinner anytime soon, though we might still stop in for drinks.

Alex and the crew delivered outstanding service. Thank you for the recommendation; the T-bone was exceptional.

Having the ability to split one of their great meals for 2 people with small appetites was great. They do not skimp on the sides.

Top flight service from the hostess station to the bartender (Andrea) to our server (Manny). My apologies from knowing the busser's names who were equally attentive! The food was excellent, salad crisp and detailed, steak perfectly cooked. The dessert was an addiction in the making!! Can't wait to go back!!!

We enjoyed a delicious dinner to celebrate my brother's birthday. The Far Western never fails to provide an exceptional dining experience.

Tried to supply a top sirloin instead of the filet

The server was top notch unfortunately he was done dirty by his manager and the chef.

unfortunately the manager and chef don't seem to understand their cuts of meats.

Bait and switch is their motto

Don't waste your time just go to the hitching post for quality!
