Julie Schetley
Amazing service Brittney. She was very much on top of drinks and dishes. Very polite. Steaks were perfect!! Couldn't have asked for a better meal. Could have stayed closer to home for steak, but so glad we made the drive. Will visit again.

Ordered pickup med well that's like prime way too order. Instead I got well done no juice completely dry. I don't get steak often but I tried calling and just got put on hold. 40.00 down the drain. I didn't even get a loaf of bread now I'm super pissed 😤

Quincy J. took excellent care of our party of nine. He accommodated all our needs with patience and politeness, and we were very pleased with his service. We were celebrating my mother-in-law’s and father-in-law’s birthdays, and the experience was wonderful. The food was delicious and full of flavor, especially the steak and ribs, which were excellent!

As far as the food goes, the reason I gave it a three, first is because I had to send my French onion soup back. it was so salty it was making me cough, and my steak I took three bites and that was so salty. I didn't return it, I brought it home, washed it off, and warmed it up in a little bit of butter. I was very disappointed. I can't handle food that I can't taste. There's way too much salt, that's the reason we stopped coming to begin with. This is the first time we've been back in several years, and I don't think we'll be back ever again.

My wife brought my daughter and I here to celebrate my birthday. We started off with some fresh baked bread and butter, and I had a mixed greens salad with honey mustard sauce. The salad was extremely good and refreshing. For drinks, we all went with strawberry lemonade, and it was also very fresh, sweet, and perfect for the occasion. I opted for the Renegade Sirloin and Redrock grilled shrimp, and for a side, I chose crispy Brussel sprouts. On the menu, this meal is described as a 6 oz. center-cut sirloin, paired with two skewers of Red Rock Grilled Shrimp, glazed with smoky tomato butter and served over rice. This is exactly what it was, and the sirloin was ordered medium rare. I can not express how good this meal was in words. Every bite left me salivating and longing for the next bite. The Brussel sprouts were a little too cooked, almost burnt, but saved by the honey, butter, Chipotle sauce they were drenched in. My wife ordered the hand breaded chicken tenders and a loaded baked potato, perfectly seasoned with a side of homemade ranch dressing. For our 5 year old, we ordered the Kid's Sirloin, well done, with a side of red grapes. My uncle would say steak sauce and barbecue sauce is not necessary when steak is cooked correctly. No sauce was required with any of these meals; they were excellent. Our server was also the best server we have had in the last 6 months. She was attentive and even took a photo of us to celebrate the special occasion. Service was top-notch. Last, they made me a birthday Sunday on a plate, wishing me a happy birthday. This is a wonderful place to celebrate with family, and I highly recommend it.

Their food isnt cheap but everything is always delicious and the servings are worth it. Their bread is warm and soft where you really don't need an app especially since most entrées include a salad also. Cesar salads were very good. Their margaritas are some of my favorite. Doesn't even taste like tequila is in there but you feel it. We have never had a problem with anything here. This is my current favorite place to go out to.

This was by far one of the best lunch my sister and i have had in a long time. The service was not only fast but very welcoming. I recommend here for a nice lunch anytime we will definitely be back. OH AND THE FOOD LEFT US SPEECHLESS!!!!!
