First time here. Knowing it was a Friday night, we were recommended to make reservations online. 8:30 pm. When we got there, we were asked to wait for a bit. Along came a I'm assuming the manager. Very friendly, took us to our seat. Looking around there wasn't much people in. Alot of empty tables around. There was a group of I'd say 10. But they were finishing up not long after we were sat down. Our waitress said she'd be with us and never came back. The manager happen to come by again and got our drink orders and appetizer in seeing the waitress hadn't done so. It wasn't busy, so I'm not sure what was going on. I hope she had a better night after work, though. We did still tip her. Anyways, blooming onion was OK. Oily as to be expected. So much hype around it just wanted to try it. My steak was cooked very nicely, I got it medium rare. My husband got his medium rare too, but I think his was more on the rare side. Dessert was ok, too. I forgot to take a picture. It was a brownie something with ice cream on top. So overall food was OK. Experience was OK, too, nothing memorable.

We both had really great steaks. They were juicy and cooked to perfection. The server was a little on the slow side, but I think they were short staffed. We did not have to wait at all for a table. The soup was fantastic!

My husband and I wanted a little date night away from the kids... and it was wonderful! The cocktails were great, dinner served quickly and hot, and the servers were friendly and accommodating. We had a very pleasant visit.

Annette was a great waitress on New Year's eve. I got the Steak (medium rare) and Grilled Shrimp with mashed potatoes and a side salad while my husband got the half rack of Ribs with mashed potatoes and fries. We ordered the Bloomin Onion as an appetizer and a Blackberry Martini. Everything was genuinely outstanding. Our main courses were 22.99 each while the Martini was 8.75. It's very worth the price. If the experience is usually like this, then I'd say it's one of the best places around.

Monica took care of us! She is the bomb. Our food was hot and fresh. It was delicious. Walked in, was seated right away. We highly recommend this awesome place and the awesome people that work there!

First off the GM here is arrogant and dismissive to complaints. Like how does the owner keep this guy employed when he obviously doesn't enjoy his job. The blooming onion was oily and mushy. The Filet Mignon was overcooked. It good thing was the Potato soup & bread. Never again and the salads look like cheap grocery brought salad mix with mostly cheap iceberg lettuce. Save your money & no don't go to Texas Roadhouse they are just as bad sadly 😔

Very nice experience, wish there was one closer to us, we'd dine more often. Service was great as well as the food! Recommend a visit.

This restaurant has a rustic feel to it, they have seafood, steaks and a bar. The wait is about 30+min on a busy weekend night, not too loud, people are able to maintain a conversation. The food as follows: house salad is great, crisp vegetables, bread served with side of whipped butter; steaks are well seasoned and well seared. Vegetables cooked al dente, ribs are falling off the bone and covered in BBQ sauce without being messy. Seems that everyone enjoyed their meals while we were there. Staff is very nice and accomodating. Overall a really good experience
