I took my daughter and fiance here to celebrate their recent engagement. The staff were very friendly and attentive. Our server checked with us frequently and was fast with refills and other requests. Gary (I think) the owner visited with us at the grill for several minutes. He told us about the history of the restaurant dating back to 1978. This was our first visit here. The steaks were outstanding. Some of the most tenderful and juicy steaks I've had, and the flavor was outstanding. I'll definitely be back and would highly recommend it for any occasion. They've had several engagements take place there and even a couple of weddings! Great atmosphere also. Go there!

Went there for birthday dinner with family. Party of 6 the restaurant wasn't busy 6:30 on Saturday night. Took awhile to get seated . Ordered drink was told no angry orchard but saw some at bar!? Asked another waitress and she said yes they had it . One thing after another went wrong . Waiter was very nice but food came out all separate and had to ask for a side salad, butter and sour cream for potato, apple sauce for granddaughters part of dinner. Help is hard to get and businesses are struggling. Good food I think this is the norm now when eating out.

Ordered a new york strip, the steak was good, but not $33 good. There's a $5 fee if you don't grill your own steak, which the waitress failed to mention.

This place is legendary for quality steaks, cooked by yourself, or to your request, in a comfy and The thinly sliced, and barely breaded, onion rings are forever in my memory and a must try.
It's family owned and (often) operated by family members. The staff is usually kind, helpfull, knowledgeable, and communicates respectfully. Unless you're a jerk. If you're a jerk, stay home.

Really wanted to like this place. Brought my brother here for his bachelor party and the management clearly has a serious problem with how they do things. Hopefully it gets taken care of. Won’t be coming back and will be sure that nobody I know in the metro wastes their time either.

We went here to celebrate a graduation. The drinks were watered down and not prepared well. When asked to take a Martini back to the bar and prepare it as it should be, the server argued that it was prepared correctly and wouldn’t have the bartender remake it. Steaks were way overcooked and way over priced. The sauce on the specialty steak was like paste containing dehydrated mushrooms that were not rehydrated. The mushrooms were so tough they could not be chewed or cut. The steaks were Priced as tenderloins ($38-$42 per plate) but were probably cheap sirloin. Service was slow- waited 45 minutes for a salad of mixed greens and canned beets. We were asked to stack our own salad plates for the server to come back and pick up later. When we tried to talk to our server he ignored us twice. Our table was a plastic folding table covered with a cloth table cloth. The ONLY enjoyable part of our dinner was the onion ring appetizer.

Awesome place to eat with delicious food but as many small restaurants they could use some more help since the bartender is also a waiter every time we've been here.
