Food was very good. We had the crab cakes and the filet. Beer from taps were not cold. I really like the bar area and the original side of the restaurant. I'm not a fan of being sat in the addition. It lacks the character and lighting the original side offers.

Steak and Mash potatoes was absolutely amazing. Best we both have had. Restaurant was more casual than we initially thought. Service was amazing

Michelle

Food is amazing and the service was great! Shelly was awesome and provided us great service! The cheese sticks are my favorite appetizer, light breaded and crispy! Both steaks were juicy and bursting with flavor! You definitely get great food for a great price!!! We will be returning soon!

Best burger I have had in a very long time, perfectly done and fresh tomato and lettuce, absolutely delicious. The service was outstanding as well.

Such a great place!! We've been to Blinker on 4 difference occasion over the past year and they never disappoint! Go and try it out. Anything off their menu is great!

Took a very long time to get our food. I ordered a drink and the slip got lost (was the reason I was given when I asked about it). Noise level very loud. My medium rare steak was rare. I had the filet and it was fatty and gross. The mashed potatoes tasted like instant potatoes. For the quality of the meat the price was too high. I'll pass on this place in the future.

My husband and I dine here at least once a month. I wanted to go here for my birthday on Thursday July 10th. It was prime rib night. We were there at 7:30pm for dinner and the prime rib was already gone. I got the New York strip instead. Don't get me wrong; their steaks are amazing. All of their food is. But I was pretty disappointed that by 7:30, a special you are advertising for that night is already gone. Just seems like poor planning and it wasn't even crowded. Our service is usually excellent, but on this night it was just so-so. Our server didn't even apologize for being out of the special so early in the evening or offer an alternative (which is why we were there), and she just seemed extremely uninterested in working and ready to go home as soon as possible. Hopefully this is just a one off situation as this is usually one of my favorite places.

We visited Blinker's recently. We had a reservation and, as we headed towards our table, a gentleman asked the hostess “how many are left” to which she answered “3”. I assume that meant three more reserved tables. A quick eyeball assessment suggested that there were likely 6-7 open tables. Our table was right next to another and set into a little alcove. Curiously, the two tables were served by different wait staff. We order cocktails while we reviewed the restaurant. My wife ordered a specialty cocktail from the menu; I ordered a dry Hendricks martini with a twist. Ten minutes later our beverages arrive, mine with an eighth slice of lemon. Again, nearly 10” later, during which time a server had been to our companion table twice, our server returned to ask about our drinks, and I asked about my “twist”. Answer: we only had sections. Question: should you have told me that when I ordered? Answer: I guess so. Ordered our entrees and ordered a Malbec to be delivered when my entree came. Entrees arrived; wine nearly 10” later, albeit with an apology. Our neighbor table continued to have regular visits/inquires by their server; nothing for us. Nothing critical but a surprisingly noticeable difference in attention... That said, the food was fantastic. My wife enjoyed the “black & blue” salad, and it was substantial and delicious. I had the pork chop that was perfectly prepared and delivered. The floor manager did stop by to enquire of our satisfaction with the food and we gave him thumbs up. Overall, a wonderful meal, although we were surprised that the service level did not meet the quality of the food. We'd go back...

They served the greatest steaks I have eaten anywhere @ any cost. We were promptly seated with a reservation and service was fast and courteous. If anything the service may be a little too fast. Our entree was served before we finished out salad/soup. The value is great as the price included soup or salad and a side. The Beef Barley soup was fantastic. We will return!

Stephen

Exceptional good food with friendly service. Steak was incredible as was soup/salad/potato/mac and cheese sides. The Patio Punch is an outstanding summer cocktail

My husband and I go once or twice a month on Tuesday. My favorite steak dinner night. Their special on the New York Strip is a great deal.

Blinker's is always a favorite. Food and service were great as always. We were placed in a room with a larger party (probably 8 people), unfortunately they were extremely loud. This is absolutely out of control of Blinker's but it made it difficult to communicate with our fellow diners.

We went there last Friday and had a great meal. So good we went back a week later. We had another great meal. The steaks were perfect and my pasta Diabolo was delicious. Service was spot on. The only negative was the noise level. We were seated in the front right dining room. The noise was incredible. I will never again be seated in that area. It definitely won't keep me from coming back!!!!

I always enjoy coming! Everyone is always very nice and food comes out in a mannerly fashion and is always delicious!

Been here many times with my family and usually have a wonderful meal. This trip wasn't their best effort. 3 out of 5 steaks overdone. Returned one that was uneatable and then served a raw steak to replace it. How hard is it to cook a medium steak? Our waitress was not very pleasant this time as well. At least the turtle cheesecake was delicious.....
