We were sat promptly after entering. We ate for dinner on Sunday night. Server did a great job. We had a problem with one of our steaks being well done vs medium rare. It seemed a little small for a six oz. When our Server got us a new one you could see size and proper cooking temperature of the steak. I felt like the appetizers were small for how much you pay.

We visited on March 8, 2025 Josh H was our server. He did a great job. Food was excellent. Served hot and fresh. Atmosphere was pleasant. Prices are fair. Will certainly be coming back. There was another server (Female) who was helpful as well but cannot recall her name. All in all a great experience. I will say the Buffalo wings impressed me. Larger than I expected, and certainly spicier (in a good way) will have to check if they do take out as I'd love to get some more of the Buffalo wings next time I'm in SLC.

Not quite sure the "Prime Rib" is actually Prime. It was perfectly cooked though. Clean but rustic atmosphere, just as you would expect. Our Waitress Carissa was awesome and more than accommodating.

Stopped in for a nice lunch. Arrived prior to 2 pm. No one there but 1 other couple. Ordered half rack pork ribs and sweet potato fries and an extra wedge salad. Salad was nice size. Bacon bites were great and not fatty. The blue cheese dressing was on the runny side and without a good blue cheese flavor. This was disappointing. The pork ribs are a nice size. The meat was very, very dry. The BBQ sauce is very sweet. I was not able to eat them due to the meat's dryness. There is no table bread that is served. There is a slight Southwest feel to some parts of the menu. They also have teriyaki flavoring. Always a risk to not have steak at a steak house. I would go back to try the steak. Sweet Potato fries are amazing. They come with a side of fry sauce. Would get those again. Price of lunch was expected based on brand but to much based on quality of the food served. Staff was very nice.

Took my wife there for dinner last week. Melt in your mouth top sirloins!! Seared one the outside and juicy red center. Butter on top makes it delicious!! The smothered chicken breast with honey mustard underneath it with cheese on top was awesome!! The steak and avocado egg rolls were really good, seasoned perfectly. The dipping sauce they come has a nice spicy to it. Their coconut shrimp were spot on with the orange marmalade sauce, way better than Red Lobster's or ANY other restaurants we've been to. Shane gave above and beyond service. He was excellent, on top of his game. Drinks stayed full. He would check on us when he'd walk by. Very professional and friendly. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We have come here for 3 years in a row for our anniversary, and we loved our first experience here, our second time wasn’t great, so we thought it was just a fluke, then we came back last night, and had another bad experience! My pasta was so oil logged and greasy, I lost my appetite. The bread that came with the pasta was soaked with grease as well, it was squishy and wet and not toasted at all. I was at least looking forward to the steak and avocado egg rolls, but every single bite was filled with the chewiest, most gristley steak I’ve ever had. I couldn’t even eat my dinner. The manager took the pasta off our bill, but I’m still just sad that our anniversary dinner was a disappointment.

Our server Josh was so energetic and fun to have around. He seems so happy to do his job. He genuinely has a very good vibe!!!!! 10/10 give that man a raise!

We've spent seven days in Utah. This was the best meal we have had and under $100 for our family of 4. The service was great. The steaks were delicious. Definitely recommend the fried pickle spears also. Also, thanks to the honest employee that put up my puffy jacket. I came back this morning hoping it would be there and it was!!!
