It had been a year since my husband and I visited the Showboat Restaurant, sad to say our experience today was not a good one by any means. The food was nothing of what we remembered. My husband's Delmonico steak was an odd color, tough and full of grizzle. My chicken dinner was a 3 star....the chicken was dry. The salad bar was nothing what the old Showboat used to have. Prices of course are higher like everything is, and that is understandable. But the quality of food was definitely lacking. Our waitress was very kind and attentive.

This was our second time here and everything was great. The food was excellent, service was nice, salad bar was all fresh stuff, it was a great quiet family atmosphere.
Not a lot of restaurants left like this one. They seem to only be in the small towns.
The prices are reasonable, the amount and quality of the food is great.
Highly recommended you try Showboat Restaurant, it’s definitely worth your time.

Service was great. Food was awful.

Comfort food was good. I heard there is new management so maybe they are still working out the kinks. I would say its the service I was not impressed by but the waitress was great. Loved her. It was a seat yourself kind of restaurant. Which normally would be fine with me, but we weren't greeted right away. Which actually also doesn't make or break service for me. But the waitresses that were on the floor didn't smile or not to let me know they knew i was there. And it kinda looked like there was a woman who was monitoring the floor. We should have been noticed. On top of that there were no menu's on the table to look while we waited. So we sat for 10 mins and my husband had to wave to them to get their attention to bring us menu's. He tried ordering a beer but they dont have their liquor licence yet. Normally not a big deal but they have on their window that they serve cocktails. The food is good. But not good enough for that kind of business model. I could make the same thing at home and not have to wait for it.
The food and service is consistently top notch here. The wait staff was friendly and efficient. The food was excellent. We arrived sort of late in the evening and they still went and freshened up the salad bar. The meals were some of the best we've had in some time. The prime rib was awesome. Make sure you try the homemade garlic toast and bar cheese on the salad bar.
