   We enjoyed the value of the breakfasts offered due to my being an Xperience Rewards member. I always savor the breakfast combo with churro pancakes, two eggs, and bacon. Unfortunately, the first steak served was stringy, hard to cut, and poor quality. It was rejected. The second steak was a much better cut and palatable. If it weren't for the experience with the steak, I might have considered rating the food with 5 stars.

   The food was ok. For the price there wasn’t much variety. But if you like mimosas and unlimited food it’s a nice weekend afternoon

   This visit was extremely awful. It took 20 minutes to be greeted by someone who wasn’t even our server. Not even chips and salsa were brought in an acceptable time. Drinks came to the table about 35 minutes in but our bar order was 10 minutes after that. Had to ask for water 4 times before we got it. We received our food 15 minutes after we ordered but our appetizer came 30 minutes after our main courses and also had to ask for it. We went in for a decent meal and it turned into a 1.5 ordeal. If you offer service on a holiday, make sure you can handle it.
