Someone needs to tell Brad that customers don’t want to hear or overhear his politics while we are eating. We didn’t come here for that. He made all of us uncomfortable. We’ll try to avoid him next time.

It was the best ribeye I ever had. It melted in my mouth. Wonderful salad bar and twice baked potatoes. Excellent service!
Definitely disappointed with the food. Had reservations and still had to wait 20 minutes to be seated. Saturday night, okay, but seated at a sticky table with some crumbs on it. Saturday night again, okay. Waiter brought water quickly. Gave us 1 menu (a dulled cleaver) that was difficult to handle and for some in the party to read. Had to ask for more menus. Was brought 3 more after 5 minutes. 4 for 10 people. Salad bar was just okay, but definitely not worth $17.95 that 2 of our party paid! No protein on salad bar. The biggest disappointment was the food. Didn't bring the bread to the table until everyone was almost done with the salad. Bread was a disappointment; let's just say that they didn't have to refill it. The Santa fe chicken was sized less then the palm of my hand and only 1/4 inch thick. My baked potato was very dry on 1/3 of it with just a small dad of butter. Definitely not worth $28. The prime rib was just okay. 1/3 of the $40 steak was white fat. Extremely disappointed. Lastly, our waiter smelled heavily of cigarette smoke and acted like he didn't want to be there. Needless to say, we will not be going back or recommending to anyone.

OMFG that prime rib though ?? this thing was a giant 1½" slab of cow cooked to perfection and absolutely melted in your mouth! I have paid over 3x what they charge for prime rib that wasn't even close to that good. Mad respect for whoever made me that fantastic meal! I am already looking forward to the next time I get to go!
The only negative thing I can say, if I absolutely had to, is that the asparagus wasn't very good. Like at all, but I'm really picky about somethings.
Vegetarian options: They have a beautiful salad bar.
Dietary restrictions: This is a fairly high end restaurant, they will cook anything the way you want it. My dinner last night was gluten free and keto friendly. Not that I cared about that, just saying.
Wheelchair accessibility: There are no steps or stairs.

There's a lot of charm to an expensive restaurant that's been frozen in time for decades. The decor is "a ranch by way of the 1970s" with lots of low lighting. Even over the salad bar, which raises concerns when one has intentionally dim lights over food left out in the open.
Went during early bird specials and received exemplary service. Our waiter went out of his way multiple times.
Everything about Cork 'n Cleaver feels like it's a $10-per-person hole in the wall that's been in operation since the 80s, but it's a $$$-expensive restaurant. It feels like their core audience are people who were brought there as kids in the 80s and are still coming back.
They have a core demographic and not that many seats to fill, so they don't have to try as hard to look "fancy" or give a hoot about graphic design. There's something to admire about that. Unfortunately, they still operate at a price point that implies they also aren't resting on their laurels in regards to food, but the food disagrees in a few areas.
To that note: having recently been to a steakhouse of comparable price point, there was a lack of finesse and skill on the food side of C'nC. Some items on the salad bar were oddly roughly chopped (e.g. bite-sized hunks of red onion) and the grilled salmon was cooked within an inch of its life, rendered dry and seasoned only by the lemon wedge. It should be a sacrilege to think "this needs salt" at a $$$ restaurant, yet...
When Logan's Roadhouse serves up a better seasoned and cooked cut of salmon than a place like this, it might be time to reevaluate cooking methods/skills. Salmon can be tricky, especially in a situation where someone's maintaining multiple cuts on a grill at once. I've botched salmon before myself, I get it, but I still can't get away from the fact their early bird cut is priced on par with chain steakhouse salmon and yet those consistently deliver.
I had a fun time, but I also wouldn't touch the menu outside of early bird specials and lunch prices.

We had a lovely dinner this evening. The staff was very accommodating and friendly. Food was delicious and our waitress Lisa was amazing!! She is definitely a great asset to the restaurant and I had the best time thanks in part to her. She has a great attitude and is so sweet. I hope she's our waitress next time we go. Oh the blueberry cheesecake is a must try!!!

The ambience is comforting. A cosey quiet place. The food was fresh and service fantastic. I come to realize in this area of the US , food choices are at a minimum, nonetheless, perfected. It's what sells. More importantly, the menu makes sense and everything is a 5 stars. I'm a meat and potato man from the South. The server accommodated my need for gravy since it's something that isn't on the menu.. that made it special. Theres something for everyone. Overall , I'll be back, again & again.
