    Wife and I went to celebrate our Anniversary and enjoyed it. The service and food were great. The personnel looked like they enjoyed working there and the servers were kind and we didn't feel rushed. We don't normally order mixed drinks or dessert but did so and even with an appetizer and steak entree's, spent about $115 not including tip. I would definitely go again, but could probably do without appetizer and/or dessert since the entree's were pretty good portions.

    I took my parents here for a steak dinner while I was visiting from Portland Oregon. The total cost of the bill was marvelous it is definitely a good value for the food that you get. My steak was cooked perfect and the drinks were on spot definitely we'll recommend this to anyone in the area. And I know every time I visit my parents we will always come here

    Service was good, making birthday celebration special. All 4 plates of steaks were overcooked and very tough.

    I was not impressed! I was disappointed with the very long wait times even though the restaurant was not busy on a Thursday afternoon. I ordered one of the “local favorites” chicken fried steak and it tasted as if the oil used was old and rancid. I did like the sides, mashed potatoes and corn. I think I just expected more considering it’s hard to get a reservation. Not sure if I will visit again…
