We had been looking forward to eating here for quite a while. We had heard really good things in the past and were glad to finally get the opportunity. The story is interesting and the atmosphere matches. Old paneling on the walls and uneven floors that can catch you off guard. They have some of the largest mounted Bass I have ever seen, but they look 40 plus years old just like the restaurant. Our server was very friendly and did a great job. The New York Strip, Earl, was the special and we both chose that with French Onion Soup and Loaded Baker Potato. The salad was small and light made of a little iceberg with a slice of cucumber and one cherry tomato and the Range was in a cup on the side. The FO soup had a small piece of cheese covered bread and 6 or so slices of onion. It was tasty but not the best I’ve had. The biggest disappointment was the steak. It’s a very large New York Strip, 14-16oz, but that’s because they didn’t trim it. It was cooked exactly right at medium rare but it was impossible to cut across. I had two lines of cartilage, gristle, in mine and she had one line down the side of hers. At least 4-6 ounces were inedible. I would have rather had a 10 ounce steak trimmed and cooked correctly. The steak lacked seasoning except maybe a little salt and pepper, and that was hard to taste. The loaded potato was good and had things in it you wouldn’t expect. I was also surprised that big, a relative term, beers were $4.50. I like the location, atmosphere and friendly service. I think the steak was the special for a reason but the kitchen could have made the plates better. You can’t serve gristle. You must see it come back on finished plates all night long.
I am giving this place one star because at least the manager did try to make things right. The French onion soup had one little piece of a roll in it, very little cheese and it was sweet. The salad was lettuce with a slice of cucumber. And the bleu cheese dressing was more like ranch. I won't even mention the steak!
Excellent food!!! One of the best steaks I've ever eaten. Nice atmosphere, great staff. The owner came to our table to ensure the food was to our liking. As it was my first time there, he sat with us and discussed the history of the place. I will be back!
Steak ribeye had a lot of fat. And warm salad. Flavorless salad dressing . These are not to be mean comments .Just something they can work on . Great waitresses , hosts and bar tenders . They are very friendly . And hot : ). Food and sauce just needs work. Everything else is on point .
