Not as much fun as thirty years ago but still not bad.
We attended a family member’s retirement dinner/party Sept 23, 2023 here. The food was delicious, the wait service was fabulous and though the menu was limited for the party everything was fabulous and there were plenty of choices. Thank you Backyard Steak Pit for making this party such a success.
