They all were really good and especially the best steak I've ever had so far. But our server was not friendly, overbearing. The other except for her were nicely.

My burger was well done although I ordered med rare but was still moist so I didn’t complain. Others were cooked as ordered. Fries were delicious. One filet was ordered and very good. Service was good. All in all enjoyable and will return again.
