This place is back up for sale!! This was a great place…read morewith the old owners! We went there twice. First time was an awful experience, but had a good burger. The owner has a personality of a snail and so did the bartender. She was not friendly at all, actually the opposite. This place needs an owner like the old owners who talk to people and are friendly . That's the only way you can make money in this area in this kind of business if you have a bad owner and bad staff, even if you have good food, you're not going to make it and that's exactly what happened. And it's nowhere near worth the money they're asking for it. Because the business has been terrible we go by there every day and the most cars you see are maybe four in the parking lot. It's a shame if the owner had a better attitude and hired people who knew what they were doing this place can make some serious money. It's a shame because soon as they opened, people in town started talking about the bad attitude!! Oh and the menu is very small!!! Beer warm just not good all around. But mostly the owner and staff are not what a place like this needs. Hopefully the new owner will have a better attitude and higher bartenders that are actually friendly and can carry on a conversation more than what do you want like you're bothering them.!!! Good luck!!

Old City Tavern makes a really good burger, and they have lots of burger options. They also have a…read moreselection of (mostly fried) appetizers, cold sandwiches, and hoagies. But come in for the burgers. They're consistently juicy and perfectly done, seasoned well and weighing in at 8 oz. They also have a bar but I don't drink so I can't give any direction there. They have nightly specials, including wing night, burger night, bike night, and trivia night. As far as atmosphere, they have a few gaming machines, darts, and a pool table as well. The place is clean, although there is some equipment out in the open in the dining room left over from the previous owner that aren't being used. Service is good, but since the menu is sandwich-centric, you'll have to ask for silverware if you want it. Really, the only reason I'm giving them 4 stars instead of 5 is because the menu is pretty much all bar food. It makes for a great stop for lunch, but if you're looking forward to a dinner platter, you won't find it here. What they do, they do it well.

What a disappointment. Although the name states "Steak House" - it's anything but!! Menu is…read moretotally lacking...from 4 items for dinner starters to only two options of steak. As we went for looking for steak we decided to order both. The steak with butter sauce with fries was passable. The steak special (rib eye) was horrible - never had one so thin and full of grizzle, fat and was tasteless. Dessert menu was also a bust...cheesecake or pound cake. The owner of this restaurant, who also owns Settlers Inn, The Dock and Ledges needs to get over to Carbondale to check out this location and make some improvements!

The worst dining experience of my life last night August 23rd 2023. New menu with NO STEAK…read moreAVAILABLE . The General manager contacted me today asking "What was wrong with our chicken and fish dinners they weren't STEAK that's what was wrong. I asked my friends to drive a long way to meet me there for STEAK not chicken and fish which we were forced to eat as an alternative. We there for STEAK and should have been told when the reservations were made that they would not have any. Also our meals were rushed and served when we were less than half way through our overpriced $13.00 salads which we had to leave behind to eat our entrees. This is NOT a STEAK House by any stretch of the imagination, and I am embarrassed that I asked my friends to drive miles and miles to meet me there when a local diner would have been far superior.

Don't sleep on the weekly specials, either! There's something new every time we go in. They play trivia most Friday nights.

Took my best friend to her favorite restaurant, Frank's Place in Simpson for her 50th birthday…read moredinner and WOW. From the second we walked in, the staff made us feel like VIPs. Warm, attentive service without hovering...exactly what you want for a special night. We started with the fried calamari and shrimp cocktails. Calamari was golden, tender, zero rubbery pieces, and the shrimp cocktail was huge, fresh, and perfectly chilled. Already a win. For mains, we went all out: Ribeye Steak cooked to a perfect medium-rare with a great sear, Rack of Lamb that was tender and seasoned beautifully, Lobster Crab & Seafood Fra Diavolo with just the right kick, and the Crab & Shrimp Spinach Fettuccine was creamy, packed with seafood, and didn't skimp on the crab. Every plate came out hot and every bite was spot-on. Portions are generous, vibe is cozy but still feels special enough for a 50th, and they even helped us make the birthday moment memorable. No rushed tables, no attitudejust great food and genuine hospitality. If you're in Simpson or driving through, Frank's Place is worth the stop. We'll be back with more friends in tow. Thanks for making her 50th so perfect!

Hello, I have eaten at this restaurant several times over the years and the food has always been…read moregood. Today, Sunday March 1st was a special day for my wife and I, and since we haven't been to the restaurant in several months, we thought we'd stop by and get a delicious meal. My wife ordered the seafood dinner with all the various options, and I ordered the New York strip steak with a baked potato and broccoli. Well, I never complain about a meal. Most time if a meal isn't good, I just say thanks and pay my bill. However, I felt so disappointed after leaving here that I doubt we will ever go back. The young blonde girl on staff was not very friendly, but that's OK, because I know people have things going on. However, I said I wanted my steak well-done. As we waited for our meals we had a coffee and a soda. Coffee was very good. Then, the dinners were brought out in a very short time. I was happy about that because I was starving. Anyway, I take a bite of my steak and it's bloody. I was a little upset they didn't bring me what I wanted but I wasn't about to complain. Then, the steak tasted like it was rolled in a bucket of salt and served to me. I've had many steaks over the years, and I had the steak at your restaurant before, so I assumed it would be the same. I can honestly say that in my 46 years I never tasted such a salty piece of steak. I have high Cholesterol as it is, and I felt like I was going to take a stroke. My wife's fish and crab cakes were also loaded with salt. I still didn't say anything because I was trying to be a good guy. But then I tasted the baked potato and that was rolled in salt, too. I ate the skin and it was crunchy with loads of salt. Then, I went to try my broccoli and it was ice cold. At that point I was really thirsty and we both wanted refills on our drinks, but the little blonde girl never came over to ask how was everything or see if we needed refills. I had to ask one of the other young girls to get my check. When she gave me my check she threw it on the table and walked away. The bill came to 54 dollars and I even left her a five dollar tip because I was trying to be a good customer but she would have received a much bigger tip if her manners were better. This was supposed to be a special day for my wife and I, and we specifically chose your restaurant because we always had good food and service during our previous visits. I can honestly say that this was a terrible experience and it destroyed what started out as a good day. I will probably not be back, and that's sad, because at one time this restaurant was one of my favorites, but lately it has been suffering from bad staff and cooks. I'm sorry it had to come to this.
