I’ve ate there a few times with my son. Outstanding services and wonderful tasting food. The salad bar is to die for. You gotta try it!❤️

One of my favorite local eateries for a good steak and salad.

I ordered the prime rib and was upset at how stringy and hard it was to cut and chew. I’ve been at lower end restaurants and could cut their prime rib with a butter knife. I couldn’t even finish my meal, because my jaw was so sore. Pretty disappointed. Everything else was perfect.

Went there the night b3fote valentines. Was told there would be a 45 to 60 minute? Wait sat at the bar and waited and ordered a order of onion rings by the time we got called to our table. The onion rings had not come out and it had been thirty five forty minutes.Got seated brought my onion rings to us and they were cold. Let the server know that they were cold. She took them brought them back in 5 minutes cause they had just taken and refried them in the fryer. No flavor to them. No onion left them completely.
Completely overfried told her again that we were not going to eat those. And she snarkily looked at me and goes, would you like some fresh one? I said no.
Place at nine.Did you dine in take out

Family had supper last night. Two of the three steaks needed to be returned due to over and undercooked. Medium well cooked but still very dry steak. Ribs were so tough we sent one plate back which was taken off the charge but hardly ate any of the second plate. So overall out of 5 plates…only 1 was ok. Salad bar is excellent. Love the atmosphere and waitress was great but probably won’t be back.

As always the salad bar is fantastic, but I do have to say I am a bit disappointed in my meal. I ordered a steak medium with fried shrimp. The shrimp came out grilled and the server, who was great, did end up bringing me out the correct shrimp. Then I went to cut into the steak and it was a hockey puck cooked well done. I’m usually not one to complain as I work in the industry, but I had to at least show her. I really thought I could just eat it so when she asked if I wanted it re-cooked, I did say no. I took a couple bites and it was almost inedible. I also didn’t eat the potatoes because they were for the steak so it was almost all left on the plate. I didn’t say anything because I figured she would do something to take an amount of off. I didn’t want it all removed because I did eat the shrimp, but my bill came out and nothing was taken off. I didn’t say anything, but I am a bit shocked to not even see a small percentage removed for having both of it messed up and not even able to eat it. Save yourself the trouble and stay away from their steaks.

First time here, ordered a bacon cheeseburger. Classic greasy fare with a salad bar to boot. Very cozy atmosphere. Staff was friendly and attentive.

Great atmosphere, meets top notch food, meets great service. Starting off with a wonderfully stocked salad bar that has amazing oreo fluff, then to the perfectly seasoned prime rib. My Old Fashion was a little stronger than I like but still good. My only overall complaint was the crowded parking. Still, if you are looking an affordable night out, this is one of the best places to go.

I come with my family. We all order different things and everything is always top notch! We all love the Salad bar and I enjoy that it has dessert options like pudding and whip salads also!
