    7-14-25. I think these were called "trash can nachos".  They were messy, but pretty good.
    Anthony S.

    7-14-25. For dining at a water park resort, this place is fine I guess. We tried the nachos, a chicken quesadilla with rice and beans, a pork burrito with rice and beans, chicken fajitas with rice and beans and the taquitos. Nothing was bad. It tasted fresh and was more then edible. It did however lack some flavor. But for being stuck at a water park, it was ok. Service was friendly and the atmosphere was relaxed and fun.

    Family setting, next to b-luxe on the ground floor of Kalahari. They refill your souvenir cups as well as your souvenir alcohol cups (cost more than their normal price as the souvenir cups hold more liquid. Chicken quesadilla 7/10 Shrimp tacos (sub flour tortillas) 8/10 Shrimp, chicken, beef fajitas 8/10 (pricey though) Bowl with carne asada 7/10 Strawberry margarita 9/10 (very strong - just wish I asked for less ice)

    Chimichanga

    Nice little Tex-Mex style spot in the lobby of Kalahari resort. Casual bar and restaurant seating. Good selection of drinks for adults and kids. Decent menu. The corn dip and the taquitos are really good appetizers. No complaints with the quesadillas fajitas or the chimichanga. The chimichanga could have been fried a little more, to be crispier, so it was a little bit on the burrito side. Still it was stuffed full of chicken and rice and had different sauces on top. Service was fine, no complaints about that. Only complaint was they charged me for extra sour cream for the quesadillas... When you're charging resort prices you would think they'd be able to just give you that.

    I visited while at Kalahari waterpark for breakfast on our first morning. We stood waiting on a hostess for a few minutes before someone spoke to us. We were sat and given menus but no one came to take an order for about 15 minutes. The table behind us that arrived after us were greeted first and their order was taken before us. So of course they were also served before us. When we finally got drinks, they were brought out by someone one different and the adult orange juice was smaller than the kids drinks. I get fresh squeezed oj is sometimes more but this was not fresh squeezed oj. Finally we get our food. Brought out by the 3rd different person we've seen. Order is wrong. They advertise coco puffs but dont sell them. They actually sell cocoa crispies (for $10). They also messed up one of my daughters orders and then tried to argue what she ordered opposed to just fixing the issue. If certain people aren't welcome just put a sign up like they used to in 60s. I would have gladly spent my money elsewhere.

    Queso very good

    This place went downhill. It was average 9 months ago and now it's just terrible. We got the enchiladas because they were so good last time and this time it took 40 minutes for them to come out and there was like no meat in there. It was a slurry of a little bit of meat and cheese. They apologized for the wait for the food and even brought out an extra enchilada. But that one too had barely any filling. So they didn't solve the problem. The manager didn't even come back over and ask how the food was. We told the waiter. They comped one enchilada after we asked. Server was super nice and friendly but really disappointed with the food quality and consistency, and long wait. I don't think the manager actually told the kitchen what the problem was. Or they know they are skimping. Whatever it is I now say don't come here. My nephew also said his taco looked like mystery meat and wouldn't eat it. Double cut is always booked solid, but def looks like the best food option at Kalahari since they got rid of the dinner buffet. Skip cinco ninos!

    The food was decent & there's alot going on in the ambience so you can definitely get into some fun after you eat. Not much to say, I just stopped by for a glass of wine & a quick drink.

    Went to kalahari and saw this Mexican restaurant right inside the resort . Didn't wanna drive out and decided to dine here . WAit time was about 20 mins . They had a good bar which was up until mid night . Service was soooooo slow . There was only one guy running around taking orders , service bar menu etc etc . Wish they had more employees to help. Food was on and off . Loved the fajitas . They tasted awesome . Quesadilla was average . Too much of cheese . Rice bowl was really good . Tacos were average.. guac and chips was also average . .. drinks were good . Overall a good experience if not for better service ...

    The most Saltless Guac & chips I've ever had
    Cathy A.

    This place doesn't match up to their prices. I bought the most expensive bowl and it had NO FLAVOR. The chips had no flavor, the "carne asada" had absolutely no flavor. The guac wasn't freshly made. And the service on the outside food truck was horrible. Don't go here. Save your money. You're also FORCED to leave a tip. It's disgusting.

    Tacos at the indoor restaurant (full service) were great. The outdoor food truck gave use a scoop of meat--- -and I mean a baby scoop. This pic is literally cheese, salad and tortilla.

    Dined here while staying at the Kalahari Resort and it was the perfect dinner for my family of 4. I absolutely loved my taco salad served in a taco shell. My husband enjoyed his burrito and the kids had Mac and cheese and a tacos. Everything was delicious! Our waitress was attentive and the food came out quickly. I definitely recommend dining here!

    After a four hour drive here it was time for food. Kiddos decided on this spot. Service was quick and friendly. Although the menu is small there's some good choices The guacamole although a small scope was good. Food choices... can't go wrong with Fajitas. All the meats so good (carne asada, chicken and shrimp)

    Very sad looking tacos
    Malik G.

    Very expensive for very little food! Service was good but presentation was just sad. I heard good things before about this place but it must've been just seemed that way because the person had been drinking a bunch before. I'll try it again in the future to see if it's just this one time but definitely disappointed.

    First day in Kalahari and first spot we stepped in to get a drink after the long drive. Ambiance was chill. Quiet. Our server Edwige was very nice and helpful. The food and drinks were just aiiight. I ordered a spicy cucumber margarita and there was nothing spicy about it. It made me cringe after every sip. Decided not to drink it. Ugh The steak quesadilla wasn't anything to write home about either. Just regular smegular and not at all impressed. Could've saved ourselves $40 a piece. Waist of money and calories.

Most of the food we had was good or very good. Our server was very nice and provided great service. She even handled the issue that makes this a 3 Star Review very well. The Manager did too. But if you're a respected chophouse, you can't get a steak wrong three times in a row. Frogtown offers a signature mixed grill experience that has a 16 ounce strip, a lobster tail, a crab cake, a few sides (whipped potatoes, long strips of carrots and delicious garlicky mushrooms). It's over $100, but really a pretty good value with all you get. My wife and I decided to split this. I ordered the steak medium rare, which is important to the review. The lobster tail was very good. The crab cake was meaty and good. The carrots were a highlight. The whipped potatoes were good. As was the creamed spinach the table shared. The calamari app (which was a bit heavy on the batter) and burrata app (needed more tomatoes) were both decent. The strip steak was the issue. As our server delivered the plate, she said "when you get a chance, could you cut the steak open and make sure it's done to your liking." I've never had a server in a nice steak restaurant ask me to do this before. It's not a good look. They should already know. I assumed she was concerned it was undercooked. I pressed my knife against the steak. Because I grill steaks, I knew that it was medium well or well done. I said "well, I can tell it's not underdone." I cut the steak down the middle. And it was medium well or well done. I very, very rarely send food back. But at a respected chop house, and at that price, I sent it back. And frankly, it wasn't a big deal at that stage because we had plenty of other food. A manager came out with a new steak. She apologized. Again, I was asked to cut it open. I pressed my knife against the new steak. I knew even before I cut it, because the steak squished as I pressed it. This time -- it wasn't even rare yet. So I had to send it back again. The steak came back. I cut it down the middle of one of the halves. It was a little more done, but it was on the borderline of being rare and undercooked still. I wasn't going to send the steak back a third time. So I ate the parts closest to the ends and sides. The steak was too chewy and underseasoned. I don't know what was going on. Maybe a regular chef was out and an inexperienced person had to step up. In any event, if you're famous for your steaks, you can't have those kinds of misses. Also, the plating of this experience could use a fresh look. Everything was put on the same plate and it was really crowded. 3 Stars

I'd absolutely include it because it reinforces the theme: the product was excellent; the hospitality and pacing killed the experience. The food was honestly the best part of the night -- a solid 4.5/5. Unfortunately, the overall experience was nowhere near what we expected from a restaurant at this price point. We started with the calamari, which was excellent. The giardiniera with it was an unexpected flavor combination that I loved. They also brought out an enormous loaf of fresh-baked Asiago bread with butter -- way more than two people needed, but damn, it was good. Both came out within minutes of ordering. We also ordered the cherry-smoked Old Fashioneds, and they were fantastic. Probably one of the best things we had all night. The presentation was really impressive: instead of simply smoking the glass, the cocktail arrived inside a glass box filled with smoke. The server placed it in front of us and we opened the door ourselves, letting the smoke roll out around the drink. Really cool presentation, and the cocktail tasted every bit as good as it looked. The problem? It took nearly 30 minutes to get them. They were so good I absolutely would have ordered a second round, but after waiting that long for the first one, we weren't willing to chance it. That's a missed sale and, more importantly, a missed part of the experience. In fact, we had finished our calamari before our drinks ever arrived. From the time we were seated, it took close to 10 minutes for our server to return for our drink and appetizer order, and then nearly another 30 minutes for the cocktails -- even after we reminded her. Our server was very sweet, but the interaction felt extremely scripted rather than genuine. We heard essentially the exact same questions and phrases repeated word-for-word at the tables on either side of us. She was also very slow getting back to us throughout the meal. For dinner, we shared the ribeye and Caesar salad because we were hoping to save room for dessert -- it was my birthday. The steak was cooked perfectly and had great flavor. At $60, it was exactly what I expected it to be. The Caesar was huge and very good. Everything we ate was delicious, although the food presentation felt surprisingly basic for the type of restaurant Double Cut positions itself to be. The bigger disappointment started before we even sat down. When we arrived, there were several people waiting and no host anywhere in sight. Multiple employees walked past carrying to-go orders without acknowledging anyone or even saying someone would be right with us. Because the entrance also serves Red's Piano Bar, we actually started wondering whether we were even in the right place. When the host finally appeared, there was no hello, no smile, no welcome. Just, "Do you have a reservation?" We gave him our name and were told, very matter-of-factly, that we would have to wait a few minutes. Five minutes later, he returned and led us directly into Red's Piano Bar. That was not what we had reserved. We specifically made a reservation at Double Cut for a quieter, elevated birthday dinner. Instead, we were being seated in a loud bar with red lighting, TVs on the walls and a table just feet from the bar. When we explained that our reservation was for Double Cut, we were told it was the same menu and that if we didn't sit there, we would have to wait considerably longer. So we sat. And frankly, that pretty much took the air out of the evening. Brian had planned a nice, romantic birthday dinner for me. Instead, we were sitting in a bar booth while he tried not to watch the baseball game playing on the TVs. It felt more like sitting in the bar area of a Chili's -- except without the Chili's hospitality or Chili's prices. Even the person who delivered our steak simply asked us to cut into it, said "enjoy," and walked away. No smile. No warmth. Completely transactional. Needless to say, we didn't stay for birthday dessert. We ate what we had ordered, paid the bill and left. The frustrating part is that the kitchen and bar are clearly doing a lot right. The food was genuinely very good, and that cherry-smoked Old Fashioned was outstanding. But at this price point, you're not just paying for a steak and a great cocktail. You're paying for hospitality, atmosphere, pacing and an experience. That part missed the mark by a mile.

PLAN AHEAD: Make reservations, especially for large parties or people who have to eat on a schedule. You can always cancel the reservations if you decide to go offsite. There was a night where it was going to snow and the hostesses were quoting two hour wait times at 5:45pm. Service is slow and it felt like the kitchen was always over capacity when we were there. SERVICE: Kudos to the hostesses who have to deliver bad news constantly in a cold drafty hallway. Servers were kind and had good knowledge of the menu, but were largely at the mercy of the kitchen. We had a show to make one night and barely got the food in time, even though we were explicit in our time restriction. FOOD: They can sell out of items and there are no real vegetables on the menu. If you like fried bar foods, you're in good company. Nothing was amazing. Lots of beer on tap though. VIBE: the best thing about Trails End is that if you get a window seat (huge wonderful windows!), you see the last hundred feet of the blue and black trail. We got to watch people do little jumps, wipe out, and careen down the hill, which was more fun than watching the football games on the wall. Location is very casual. Prices are comparable with New York City, which is an unpleasant surprise for many.
