The Big Steer Restaurant and Lounge is a popular dining spot known for its delicious food and cozy atmosphere. The menu features tender filets, perfectly cooked baked potatoes, asparagus, and a savory cheddar bacon potato soup. The restaurant is famous for its exceptional prime rib, served with a delicious jalapeño dip. The desserts, including a massive chocolate cake and smooth cheesecake, are not to be missed. The service is highly praised, with staff members like Kristin and Ted receiving special mention for their attentive and friendly service. Ted, in particular, is known for spacing out appetizers, salads, and meals so guests can enjoy each course without feeling rushed, and he always keeps drinks full. Although the seating area and parking lot are a bit tight, the food and service make up for it. The bar service is commendable, and the atmosphere remains inviting, without being overly loud or flashy. The atmosphere can be loud, and the lighting is like any other restaurant, which might take away some of the ambiance. Still, many guests appreciate the hearty meals, especially the large sides and standout dishes like the sweet potato casserole, which one reviewer called the best they've ever had. The restaurant is a very down-home place that offers a pleasant experience and some of the best prime rib around, making it a favorite for any event or special dinner.
