My son's and I decided to check this place out, and I'm glad we did. I ordered the Tournedos medium rare with peppercorn sauce, and they were delicious. My meat was cooked perfect. Both of my son's got the 11 oz sirloin medium rare and they came out perfect. The house salad they brought me was basically a Cobb salad, they didn't skimp on anything. Probably the best house salad of anywhere I've ever been. (I poured dressing before I took the photo, oops). The Mac n Cheese was good, I liked the breadcrumbs on top more than without them when you got underneath. I snagged a bite of the mashed potatoes, sooo good! And I thought it was pretty cool that when the server brought out the plates, he noticed the fries looked sparse and brought my son a whole extra dish. We tried the deep fried pickles, and I'll skip those when we go back. The breading hardens when they cool down and I just wasn't super impressed by those. It was a little pricier than Texas Roadhouse, but I haven't been there since this inflation BS, so maybe it's all the same now. Either way, the staff was really nice, it wasn't crazy busy (which is actually a huge plus in my opinion) and the food was good. I definitely recommend it.

Very friendly staff. Got me the 14oz Wyoming Steak with sides, Mac and Cheese with a baked potato, and holy cow how delicious. Went with the whole family and there were plenty of tables open so barely any wait. I see the 3.4 rating it has, but they have upped their game because I am not seeing anything worth that low of a rating with my experience. We enjoyed it so much that the family and I decided this is a restaurant we will definitely come too occasionally. Vanessa gets a shout out for going above and beyond to make our experience great!

I’d give our waitress 4-5 stars but the food 1-2 stars. The menu looked fine, and as expected. My fried catfish was hard to bite into and chew and had no flavor. The cornmeal coating was too thick and hard. The mashed potatoes were ok, but the green beans also were very hard and undercooked. We had wished we’d like this place, but I don’t think we’ll be back.

Wow! Was a great surprise. Not sure of others experience but this was over and above expectations. So much great food. Not pictured was the fried pickles and salad before this even came out. No wait on Saturday night at 6:30. Plus Heather was fabulous..Definitely our new go too for a good dinner out. Thank you!

Brand new restaurants need a few months and a few visits before being judged. Meaning…take this and other reviews with a grain of salt. I’ll still chime in despite this being my first visit here. For starters, I would try it again and recommend it to friends. Great service. Waitress was friendly and checked on us several times all night. Fresh rolls and butter started the night. For dinner, wife and I ordered the chicken breast. It was tender and flavorful (I tend to not like chicken breast). For sides I went with the mac & cheese, and the green beans. They were fresh! The mac tasted like it was made from scratch, and the green beans were fresh hericots vert! Great selection of local craft beer. Price is comparable to other restaurants. Hopefully the ribeyes are just as good for my next visit. — 3rd visit in the books. 2nd visit we had their hamburgers. Third visit was today (May 24). Wife had the Chicken Portobello plate with Mac & Cheese and Loaded Baked Potato. I had the Crispy Chicken & Sirloin Combo. Food is great. I’m not a fan of sirloin, but it was still good enough. Service as always is friendly and they constantly check on you. I’d recommend this place to anyone.

Prime Rib: 5 stars Chopped Sirloin: 5 stars Ceasar Salad: 5 stars Chili (cup): 5 stars Service: 3 stars -1: we were seated at the farthest corner of the building even when there were available tables throughout the store. -: service was slow, maybe because we were thrown to the back, we were forgotten. -: waiting for our server was too long, we had to ask the busboy for doggie bags for our leftovers - that took 15 minutes of wait. 30 minutes later busboy came by again so we asked if we could get our bill. The bill arrived 10 minutes later. I could have given 2 stars due to service quality but that would not be fair to the quality of food. Front personnel are really nice and friendly. We probably would have been served faster if we were seated in the front of the building. I am still scratching my head why - we were the only diners thrown to the back while there were many open tables in the front.

First-time customers. The server was slow to come to our table but did apologize for it. Their bread and good-sized house salads were delicious. My husband ordered a prime rib that he liked and baked potato. I had the NY Strip with mashed potatoes. My potatoes were somewhat starchy & oversmashed. My steak was overcooked (I ordered medium) and a bit salty, but most of all, not tender but chewy. Although, I did not complain about my food, I ate half the steak and took the rest of the home for my dog. I would try eating there one more time to give them a chance to do better.

It is one of the hidden (or not-so-hidden) gems which you will find in the Temecula area. Come to this place for the best crunchy peanuts, fluffy bread, and of course, the juicy burgers and steaks in Murrieta! Highly recommended for families, Western decor aficionados, and meat eaters alike.
