The inside has a nice look and feel to it. The staff is kind, service is average. Food was also average. I was recommended the fish and chips and the shrimp appetizer. The shrimp was great, the fish and chips was panko and needed salt.

The best steak in the Modesto area. I've eaten steaks at several "steak" places, but none have delivered what I want from order to belly. Medium rare, yes, sir! Spot on with no excess blood. With that much needed grill taste. Very well done to the cook. Service was awesome as well. Never had to ask for anything.

First time ever! Went for lunch! Everything was delicious! Appetizers, main course and dessert were all amazing! Also a great beer selection! Will definitely be going back!

Had dinner here last night for the first time! Service was great, food was wonderful! Two of us had the ribeye and they were both big, beautiful, juicy and perfectly cooked steaks! Best Ribeye I've ever had at a restaurant! Our other friend had the shrimp pasta and said it was delicious..Atmosphere is more like hole in the wall diner with a big bar than upscale steak house, but we Loved it anyway and the cocktails were delicious too! Will definitely be back again and again!

Their garlic shrimp appetizer is literally the absolute, hands down, best shrimp I have ever eaten in my entire life, and I am someone who has eaten all over the world. And their filet mignon melts in your mouth and cuts like butter. Mashed potatoes with gravy are to die for. The BEST restaurant in Modesto. A MUST TRY. Worth every single penny.

Could be a good place with some attention to detail. We were sat near the bar. So I guess that's why we didn't have a waitress. The food was good. But our steaks were mixed up. It wasn't very busy being a Wednesday night so hard to say why we didn't get much service. We tipped never the less. Probably won't return.

Never visited before. Really nice vibes with friendly patrons who obviously know each other, pleasant staff, good food and good service. Good lighting. Country music but not blasting. Will be returning.

Don't order the Ribeye if you are expecting a real ribeye steak. I ordered one yesterday and I immediately knew it was a low quality piece of meat when it arrived. I asked them if I could instead get the NY steak since that is what my daughter ordered and I could tell was a better cut of meat compared to mine. The server took the ribeye and requested a NY steak. Two minutes later, another woman (the Manager or Owner) came to the table with the steak and asked me what the problem was. I showed her how the steak was separating in sections but held together by all the gristle and fat. She told me she would throw on the NY but she was still going to also charge me for the ribeye. I ended up just taking the ribeye and this is what I ended up with at the end after picking through it for a few bites. I wouldn't have minded paying the $38 for the ribeye but instead get the NY steak. But expecting me to pay for both is poor customer service. I used to recommend this place to people all the time.
