I’m going to be as fair and as honest as possible with this review. I’ve heard from multiple people to try this place because of the stew, so I did today for the first time. 1 stew topped cheeseburger and 1 stew topped Tenderloin and my bill was $32.09. No sides, no drinks, and no bread supplied with the tenderloin. Just meat in a pizza box and a container of stew. Now, with that being said, the tenderloin was very good, the stew was very good, and the burger was nothing special....read full review
