My wife and I shared the Polish Combo, I also ordered the French Onion soup, the soup was the best I have ever had, it was loaded with cheese and the combo was fantastic! Update - January 22, 2025, stopped in for dinner, I ordered the Macho Nacho, my wife ordered the Spinach Ravioli and a friend ordered Spaghetti, all were excellent! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Our Server Katie was extremely friendly and “Katie-on-the-spot”, too! Update - February 25, 2025, had the Meat Loaf special for lunch, it was excellent. Never a bad meal.

Most of the unoccupied tables stayed dirty. Service seemed slow. But the food was good.

Waitress- Amanda Mini tacos were good hit and crunchy The fish and chips were good nice size cod pieces and fries were good. Just wish they gave you a choice between regular or the waffle fries. The pop waa flat so water it was for me especially for $3plus they could have sold me a can pop.

This is not a steakhouse! It’s a bar! We came here after winning The State Championship for girls bowling because Coaches wanted to since it was close to Thunderbowl lanes. Our girls got their food like a hour after the parents. The foos was disgusting. My husband & I couldn’t believe they call that a steak house!! Had the chicken Philly it was in a seeded hamburger bun … what ?? It had no flavor. There’s a lot more I could post! I just recommend reading reviews and ratings before eating out. It was a very long day so I guess it suffices but I would not have paid that much money for that service, environment and food had we not wanted to celebrate our daughter’s victory with her teammates!!

I got the fish and chips 15.95 small portions. I had to send 1 piece back it looked like it sat under a heat lamp to long. 20 minutes later they brought me another piece looked just as bad. Food gets worse every time I try to give them another chance. But the beer was cold

More of a pub than a steakhouse. As it so happened, we were there on music trivia night. Very loud. French onion soup and generous portion of breaded mushrooms made it worth it! Reasonable prices.

Usually we order take out due to past issues with the service. The other day my family and I decided to give it another shot and dine in. The food was phenomenal, but, the service was awful. The waitress had a table of around 50 people on top of ours. I'm confused as to why they wouldn't give us to another waitress considering there were at least 2-3 others and they were slow. The table behind us received their appetizers and drinks before our drinks even came out. It was awful. We sat there for 3 hours and waited on the bill for a ridiculous amount of time. We had a tired baby and sat and rocked him to keep him calm while she catered to the large table. I'm sure it didn't matter at that point because she was sure to get a good tip from them, but it was very unfortunate. Our table should have gone to someone else who had the time so she could solely focus on her large party and so we didn't feel like we were being detained while trying to pay the bill and leave!

Let's start with the food. I was very disappointed with the macho nachos. The chili was clearly canned and was almost a paste. A million chips and very little toppings. The Cajun burger was a burger with Cajun seasonings added. The broiled salmon dinner was good. The prime rib was the best dish of the night. I was a little disappointed that we were only brought one pitcher of Coke with ice for refills because we all had the same drinks. It was brought before the food. Was watery and flat for the refills. We did use it all and were not offered more. The picture is of the first drink. Not the refill. We had a long wait between ordering and the foods arrival. It was busy at the time so that is to be expected. However I was not feeling well after eating. Neither was the person that ate the Cajun burger. Our waitress was very nice. Just lacking on her refill service. It was a little pricey as well. I probably will not return.
