   We’ve been in the area for a few years and had yet to go to Conner’s. We’ve always heard great things about it and last night, for New Year’s Eve didn’t disappoint. It was absolutely fantastic and the service was Excellent, especially how busy they were. Highly recommend this place for a fun and delicious evening.

   GreatNew Years Eve Diner. Service was great and we were seated after a short wait. Food and drinks were good with sides included with dinners. Price was reasonable and we were able to hear each other's conversation.

   Went there New Years Eve at 4:45pm. Mandy was our waitress and greeted us with her beautiful smile and friendliness. Food was delicious and service terrific. Little pricey but with the time. HNY

   Josh, was exceptional! He was professional, pleasant, friendly, and informative. We appreciated the considerable time he took to ensure we understood the menu. Most importantly, he made great recommendations. Conners is always a great place and the food exceptional. Highly recommended!

   We first visited Conner's after learning, through a recommendation from another steak house waiter who advised us based on our desire to try a dry aged steak - mentioned by connoisseurs - and made the trek a bit further away from us on our next special occasion. We happened to try the dry aged, grass fed filet on special at the time and were incredibly impressed. Since then, we have only seen this offered on one other visit, as they rotate this out with other selections like prime filet and Delmonico ribeye, both wet aged and not grass fed (i.e., conventional corn fed - standard American beef that is less healthy on the omega 6 fatty acids as recent research finds - and less flavorful in our view compared to fully pastured, grass fed). While still enjoyable, it is not as stand out as our first choice (and we are a bit surprised that all the steaks would not ordinarily be prime selections). It is also difficult to predict when they will have the special dry aged filet, or any special of one's choosing, as it is not posted on the website - you have to call in and ask to speak to someone who knows the current special, such as a manager - a bit time consuming process and makes it difficult to plan one's special occasions in advance. We have been told these specials swap out every couple of weeks to month or so. (Note: While we love the distinctive, intense dry aged flavor, some people may be more accustomed to or prefer wet aged.) Ambience is nice steak house chic, lots of booths, open all day and other locations in the US SE available we've learned. However, it is very noisy - especially the booths near the bar. Service was very good, orders taken and delivered correctly, though waiters are mixed on menu knowledge. Cost is on high side, runs $180 for the two of us with tip, counting dessert but only sparkling water to drink. A cut above Longhorn, vies with Ruth's Chris or Mortons (though similar meal there would be ~$275). Overall recommend highly.

   We had not been to Connor’s for about a year due to illness. It has been one of our favorite restaurants since opening. We were shocked to see vinyl table cloths on tables. It truly downgraded the ambience thanks to the tacky change from linens.
