Robert Murphy
Decent place to grab a bite. The restaurant is absolutely cozy inside with the old steakhouse feel. The stove is a real wood grill and they cook the steaks in the open over the fire. The food was OK, I was expecting more. Service was prompt and friendly. One area that I found strange was the silverware— it’s the cheapest junk from the dollar store. I expect a real set of silverware for a $50 steak dinner. I would return here but not for a special occasion or anything.

I can definitely say I will never go back again. This place is over priced and the food is mid if even that. Our group had 26 people, and they gave us 1 server. The whole evening she seemed irritated and even more so if you asked for anything. She hardly said a word to anyone and if you asked for something, she would just walk off, never acknowledging whether you were going to get your drink or straw or anything. The room we were in was cold but thank goodness for the fireplace. I do not recommend this place if you have a big party. Maybe if it's 2 guest it could be better, but I'm not coming back to test that theory. My husband and I spent $176 last night and it was definitely not worth it. I've gotten better service at Outback.

Wonderful old school, laid back vib. Smells like a Steakhouse should when you walk in. Place was packed which tells you something. Had the 9oz filet, baked potato and a salad. Bread pudding to go. Fabulous and well worth it.

Had a great experience. We had reservations, and they seated us on time. The service was great fast, and our waitress was very attentive. Will be coming back for sure.

This place is a gem. Great food, so flavorful. Dessert was top notch. The service was excellent never had to wait for anything. Prices were outstanding. There is a reason why this place has been in business for so long. Definitely gain life long customers tonight. 10/10

Party of 4 from east coast. We figured we’d hit a Dallas steakhouse for a good meal. This place had good reviews. Unfortunately, we didn’t have the same experience. Steaks were under seasoned and tough. Shrimp had no color (not grilled or pan fried) and a strange taste from what ever season was use on it. Overall a disappointing experience.
