Our first date was here when we started dating 5 years ago and the night we got married (on our 5 year Anniversary April 25th) we HAD to come backš„¹We absolutely love it here and will continue to come. We came straight from our ceremony so I was still in my wedding dress and the owner bought us our dinners (delmonico steaks and fries) and drinks! They were so kind! The customer service was amazing like always and the atmosphere is always greatā” This is our spot.

Wow, this place was absolutely a find! Once you go in, the atmosphere is really welcoming and the servers are beyond friendly... we literally heard them singing! The food was beyond delicious and they serve things quickly. The place was clean and not too loud... the perfect spot when you want to have some good food and not spend a whole ton of money.

Hidden gem on the East side, under new ownership but same friendly staff, fast service, chill atmosphere, great food & full bar. Had a perfectly grilled delmonico steak, a huge baked potato, garlic sautƩed spinach w/ cherry tomatoes & feta cheese, and fresh garden salad. The owner Robert checked on all the customers and everyone was super friendly. Great vibe!

I'm so amazed, the entire experience was epic. Welcoming staff that treated us like we were family back in town for a celebration, The food portions, quality, and presentation all tier one. I'm hearing it's been this way for DECADES! I have a new Favorite. I live a county over but this all made it worth the trip.

Absolutely horrible! Waited 45 minutes for food and only received half the order. The steak was ordered as MED WELL, it came to the table still MOOING! Blood gushing out of it. Sent it back and it came back chard on one side and they flipped it over to hide the burnt side. SMH. My husband never received his food. Terrible terrible terrible. I havenāt been there in years and was hoping to give my husband great food from a staple in our city. Nope! Never going back.

Potato skins is all I ever get from here. They used to be 5 star now they are cut awkwardly and wayyy too thick and undercooked. They are now like an undercooked baked potato cut in 1/2. Not like a crispy potato skin at all like they used to be. My dinner is now ruined, I don't live close by, and they won't answer the phone now. So I guess I have to put my complaint here and take a loss.šš¼#Disappointed

Steak. Steak. Steak, and more steak. This place right here........ Is just great. The restaurant is really small, but once you have the food, you won't even notice. The steak is always fairly priced, and just pure amazing. Of all the times I went, I've only had one time the steak wasn't the greatest. The potato skins are like stout boats filled with real bacon and cheese, not that imitation trash. You can order up to 100 ounce steaks, if you can handle it. Can you handle it??? If there's a line, make sure you wait. No big parties though, they can't accommodate, so bring no more than 3 other friends. They'll be happy too!!!

It was my Birthday on Saturday September the 2nd! I don't know the young lady's name but she did a wonderful job! What I didn't care for was the young lady's hanging in the back hollering at customers as they were leaving! It was very distasteful! I don't think they even worked there! More like the owners people!
