This was our first visit to AJ's Steakhouse. We were pleased with the menu choices and enjoyed the deliciously prepared food. The friendly staff and comfortable surroundings added to our experience. We are pleased ton add AJ's to our "favorites" list and look forward to a return visit!

Great wait service and staff but Easter offering was extremely disappointing- I'd expect better from a buffet. Friend who had same felt the same way. Had the fish.. mushy and boring! Risotto was flat... broccolini so so... Lighting is very harsh and not unbefitting nice restaurant. Pricey for quality of food. Been at AJs before but this time it was a trust breaker. Cookies were not special... Should have been frosted... I'd chosen this spot for my Easter guests.. disappointed for sure- they were underwhelmed.

EVERYTHING WE ATE WAS OUTSTANDING! SINCE IT WAS MY BIRTHDAY, I WAS COMPED THE MEAL AND EVEN TOOK HOME A HUGE PIECE OF CHOCOLATE CAKE! I'VE BEEN TO MANY CASINOS IN MY LIFETIME - PRAIRIE MEADOWS IS MY FAVORITE PLACE TO PLAY!

My wife had ordered the center cut ribeye done in a medium preparation. I ordered the 16 ounce prime rib done in the medium preparation. My wife's ribeye came out overdone. My prime rib came out purple and raw being cold to the touch. The wait staff promptly took my prime rib back, realizing it was raw and it came back again now gray overall with a purple center. I had them switch to the center cut ribeye, which wait staff was nice enough to do. When it came out, it was undercooked as well being raw in the center. The staff did waive the cost of my meal. The cuts of meat do not seem to be a great quality. I think the kitchen crew needs to learn how to use a thermometer better on the meat. I had the wedge salad, which was excellent. My wife had a normal salad, which was very nice. My wife had the peach cobbler for dessert which was great. I had the citrus crème brûlée, which was very nice.  On the bill, the bottle of wine we ordered rang up as $56, though on the wine list it was showing $50. Staff corrected this error on the bill very quickly. The wait staff and manager are terrific. However, I am unlikely togo back due to the quality of the main dishes.

Welcoming, attentive, accommodating staff! My husband had the fettuccine Alfredo which was delicious. I had the filet mignon and it was SUPERB! We will definitely be back!

The filet was sooo good! The butter balls and bread are awesome. Service was great! S/O to our server Ashton. Very helpful, polite and professional. I also greatly enjoyed my strawberry basil cocktail. Next time I'm going for the prime rib! Definitely will be back, just give me some time to save up some $ first! It's a steakhouse, so it's pricey, but you get what you pay for. Which is excellent service, clean and inviting restaurant, and spectacular food!

I ordered the fried chicken at the same time that my friends ordered a ribeye and a lobster tail. My chicken never came. I had to go ask for it. It took 15 minutes for a manager to come out and tell me that chicken takes longer to cook. And my friends were already done eating their meals. It was over an hour from the time our order was placed before they put my meal in a to go bag for me. So basically, basically, I had a salad and sat and watched my friends eat their dinner

Great food as always. Great Prime rib special very tender and delicious. They have brought in the nice Caymus Cabernet wine as I suggested. Family dinner with my nephew and everyone enjoyed the steaks and food overall. Nah (sp) was a great server and she took very well care of us and our experience. A hidden Gem of a great steakhouse/fine dining venue. Seth at the bar is always very pleasant and accommodating! AJs is a great place for fine dining at a reasonable price!

We've been to A.J.'s on several occasions and each and every time has been an outstanding experience. All of the Food is top notch and service is impeccable! My husband, who is one of the pickiest people about his steaks and prime rib, says AJ' s is the best he's had.
