The first time I ordered the top sirloin well done with potatoes and the meat can medium well when I ordered well done and it was warm the mash potatoes were cold and I gave it a pass because it was busy my server was running back and forth and I wanted to be understanding and it wasn’t the right thing to do in retrospect because it seems so be a common practice now that I’ve come here again. Back to the recent visit my chicken it was very chewy and toward the end I couldnt chew the pieces of chicken I managed to cut with the steak knife and I had to use so much force just to cut through it. The quality of the food was underwhelming I did have a manager that came and discounted part of my meal which was thoughtful and I expressed my gratitude. I think it might’ve been oversight twice, I would like the kitchen to pay close attention to the food and how long it’s sitting out or frozen. I just had a slight stomachache and I’ll stay away from eating there for a while until the worry wears off. The chocolate drinks are pretty delicious so I’ll keep Stopping by for that at least.

Our server was fantastic and very accommodating, our waters were never empty. The food was very tasty however they increased the prices by $10 that were not listed as on the website and it seems they decreased the portion sizes. Other than that my date and I had a wonderful time! I always love coming here!

Hopefully, it will be paired up again . Also, would be nice if Max Brenner offered a sugar-free option for their deserts and chocolate drinks to be able to cater to diabetic customers.

Despite this, the food was tasty, and the desserts, along with the service, were the highlights. However, I wouldn’t return unless these issues are resolved.
