Carrissa Lorenz
The food was well seasoned, steaks cooked as requested, portion sizes were appropriate, but the veggies were cold. There was a large party in the back, so it took almost an hour for our food to come out. The wait staff was friendly and accommodating.

Not a really good experience. We made a reservation on phone but when we arrived, they asked us to wait for 40 more minutes, and then waited for long time until we got our food served. I ordered my steak medium rare but looked like they made it medium well. The steak was dry, tough and tasteless.

We found this place on a whim. We were looking for some comfort food, and boy did we find the right place. The menu was extensive. From seafood, to steaks, sandwiches, hot plates, burgers, pretty much every category you can think of. We settled with the open faced hot roast beef sandwich with mash and gravy, and the French dipped sandwich with french fries. The hot roast beef came with an array of yummy veggies such as cauliflower and broccoli. I was not a fan of the gravy however, not rich enough or beefy enough, but it worked okay with the sandwich. The roast beef was amazing. The French dip came with the most wonderful French fries. They were crispy on the outside and very creamy on the inside. Next time we are getting the basket of fries, they were that good. The ranch dressing for dipping was exceptional. Oscar our server went out of his way to help us, he was generous with his time and kindness, even making my daughter his recipe for ginger ale. All in all worth a visit or two or three.

For a family owned restaurant, this place is not only large, but also very much exactly what we needed. Great portions, soup or salad was included, the bread was warm n delish, the service from the moment we arrived (family of 4) to the moment we left was very nice…and I only got pics of the menus because we devoured our meals (with the exception of some leftovers that were great the next day)….healthy options and solid prices. We’ll be back

We had a memorial luncheon for my Mom. 73 people showed up. The food was great and they were very flexible with the planning. I would recommend for any event.

"Classic decor." Very attentive service. There's also a full bar with karaoke. Started with a cup of chicken rice soup. The soup was good, not fantastic. I tried the pepper steak, medium rare, with a baked potato. The steak was well peppered, but barely pink in the middle. Not very beefy.
Daniel Nunez
Possibly the best steak I've ever had. For sure a top 3. Service is excellent and despite coming during peak time on a Friday there was no wait. I ordered the New York Pepper Steak. Portions seem generous. Left incredibly satisfied.

Attended this restaurant for a graduation party in their banquet room. Food was served buffet style. It was actually good. Staff was very attentive. Great space that fit at least 150-200 ppl with plenty of space. Would recommend this space for banquets.
