“All the steaks were undercooked. When I told the waitress that it was not making my belly feel very good, she said it looked good to me. I would have eaten it. Medium Rare is not maroon deep red. I ordered the sirloin and shrimp. My kids had the kids' sirloin, and my son had a sirloin. When I complained and told them I didn't want anything else I felt sick from eating it that way the couple bites to get to the middle where it was super rare she came back with a bill and charged me for a shrimp meal. I had to argue with her and ask for a manager who did the charging of the shrimp meal, so I complained again. I told them I didn't come to a steakhouse to get a shrimp and wanted a good cooked steak they finally complied and comped my meal. I also told them my kids' steaks were not done right. My oldest ate them, though, because he can do more rare. Was overall a bad experience, I have been there several times over the years as we travel through going up Michigan and never experienced anything like this. I'm not sure we will stop again it has gone downhill.“
