    Top sirloin steak dinner
    Steven L.

    It's a long drive out there. No signs. Place looks ran down. Waitress was very nice. We had top steaks. Not tender very chewy. Baked potato was good. Would we go back? No I don't think so.

    Enjoyed it! Atmosphere is fun. Food was ok! Had a bacon cheeseburger. Cooked good. A simple meal. Service was good. Not much conversation but refills came etc.

    We sit on the back patio 3

    Nothing special ! Sparse service. Off the beaten path location, if you love local, perhaps. But no need to drive there.

I can't wait to come back. Great service as well. Only issue is please please fix your website.

It started with the lack of attention after we were sat. We finally had to wave someone down to ask if anyone was going to take our order. Our server was delightful and super friendly, but unfortunately we were already off to a horrible first impression. We were in for the whole experience so we ordered cocktails, appetizers and their $100 steak hoping this would all live up to the hype. I ordered my sirloin medium and it was definitely on the medium rare to rare side. It was as if they just didn't let it rest long enough. That was my impression because I watched the expo churn out the steaks in a way that seemed rushed. The french fries looked wonderful going out but unfortunately we got the over cooked batch. The dessert was the best! If the management is reading this please don't criticize us for not bringing it to the server's attention. The staff seemed rushed and we just are not comfortable with complaining. We paid $300 for 2 and honestly, I think at those prices your quality assurance should be built in without having to wait for complaining customers to nudge you to course correct.

The building has all sorts of funky character which we appreciate over the cookie cutter buildings and slick interiors of many of the resturants you visit when on the road. Service was brisk and pleasant. Make sure you wander about the dining areas as we were leaving my husband spotted the Master Griller behind a glass wall outside another dining room performing his craft! Excellent!

    FOOD- my mother-in-law loved the ribs, fall off the bone she said. i had the 14 oz. rib eye it was…read moreok. really thin best part was the baked potato. i ordered a salad with blue cheese dressing and someone thought it was a good idea to put what they thought the amount of dressing i would like on the salad. kids had kid menu food which was good they liked it. my wife ordered the filet. she likes it well done so i have no idea how good it was but she liked it so that makes me happy. my kids ribeye came with a bag of chips yep a bag of lays chips. what? my daughter ordered the kids cheeseburger which i tasted and thought was good. the appetizer chips and salsa i swear the chips were right out of a bag of Tostitos corn tortillas and microwaved to get warm. get the chips from somewhere that makes them we are in Tucson. i could be wrong but my wife and i eat out frequently and order chips and salsa a lot. oh, they came in a red basket with no paper separating the chips from the red picnic basket they put the chips in. that is gross if you go you will see what i mean. ambiance-- the place was pretty empty on a Wednesday, and we were sat i would say in the bar area with 5 or 6 tv's from what looked like 20 years ago. the tables best days were about 20 years ago as well right out of a cafeteria setting. we were sat alongside a table of about 8 that was approximately 1 foot from our table. so close in fact they had put their menus on one of our chairs before we sat down and actually during our meal i needed a napkin and a man from the other table handed me one. when going to a steak house with such great reviews i didn't expect to be seated in the bar area with cafeteria seating with tvs playing everywhere. i was expecting a restaurant meal in a restaurant atmosphere. we were not asked where we preferred to sit. i did see a big room with some people in it when we walked by the doorway. honestly. this restaurant looks like it was frozen in the 1970's. spend some money and update the place. service- the young man was nice. not attentive though he didn't even notice i did not have a setting the whole way through and never did. i grabbed a fork from my 8 year old. here is the thing with me. if you are going to charge good money and come off as a nice steak house don't charge people good money a (couple hundred dollars) and give them a half ass experience. if you want to be a dive that sells steaks price accordingly. we could have gone to a nice place and paid the same amount instead i feel like we went to an outdated restaurant that takes way to many short cuts and has lost its emphasis on a quality experience. maybe if we had gone in 1984 it would have been awesome. there are too many other places to go to for a meal then to spend good money at this outdated 2 star restaurant. sorry

So the building looks dated and so are the turn into the business/parking lot, but don't let that stop you from great food and service.

    We didn't have any fancy plans for Memorial Day yet still felt the celebratory elation of a 3-day…read morewknd and decided to treat ourselves to some Friday steaks. The first thing I need to own is that it's a shame I hadn't visited here before. We arrived at 5:30p and both the bar and patio areas were packed - standing room only, and no wonder. They have one of the better happy hours (daily! 3:00 - 6:30p) - able to accommodate both the slacker and the over-timer Lol. Basic drinks are all discounted such as house wines, well drinks, and beers. Their bottled wines and craft cocktails are all exempt though. Many of their appetizers are also discounted and some quite substantially. We grabbed a glass of the house cabernet ($6, normally $8) and the grilled shrimp wrapped in jalapeno bacon ($13, normally $20). NOTE: happy hour pricing is Only available if you order/consume at the bar or on the patio and that's clear in advance, and understandable. The dining areas were only half full at this early point (but filled up by 6:30) and the host kindly encouraged us to enjoy our starters at the bar as she would hold our table. We were then sat near the "back" of this long venue and frankly, aside from the lone windowed table at the very front, this would be my preferred seating - cozy, intimate, with only five other tables around us. For dinner drinks she got an Italian Nebbiolo Bricco Magno Red Blend ($13/glass, reliably terrific/mellow) and I got the Chupacabra ($15) Mezcal/prickly pear cocktail, strong and excellent as well. We got an additional appetizer: the roasted bone marrow ($19). I had never had marrow before but she raved about how good this can be if done properly (bonus, it is super healthy). Folks, a picture/worth a 1000... suffice to say this was simply outstanding! We both had long work weeks and were craving meat - just a damn good steak. Our waiter, without blinking recommended the 8oz bison filet mignon ($65) as his absolute menu fav, and then the day's special: 14oz ribeye ($50). We ordered each. All dinners come with two sides and we each got the day's special: roasted half artichoke and she got the loaded baked potato while I got the mashed potatoes. Food arrived about 15 minutes later at good temperature (warm/rested with a strong char) with each being accurately grilled (medium and medium-rare). Taste was outstanding. Neither one of us had bison filet before and marveled how it (subtly) added a "wild" edge to an always outstanding, lean-but-tender, cut of beef. The loaded baked was terrific, however, the mashed was the only disappointment... a plainer mash one could not make themselves - pure white and borderline dry, no milk, butter, egg, gravy(?), nothing to make it creamy or add any flavor dimension - a surprise frankly. The only other "critique" is that the dessert menu could add some kind of dark/chocolate concoction. All in all, though, we loved our experience and have decided to add this to our periodic special dinners rotation! Staff was outstanding - just the proper balance of attentive and quiet - and waters never went below half empty. Parking is free and plentiful, especially behind the restaurant (and yes, if you continue on around the back there is another long entrance/exit driveway that comes out the other side of Jimmy John's and Noodleholics.

I ordered a Mango Cart beer on draft w/ Tajín and the pineapple pork tenderloin. The beer is my favorite so I knew what to expect there but the tenderloin was so well cooked and prepared. I was honestly shocked. It's not a dive bar by any means but I wasn't expecting the food to be so top notch. I ended up paying $20 for my meal but would have easily paid up to $30 at a different restaurant and it would have came out not being anywhere near as good as this!

    Man let me tell you. First, this is on university's main drag and it's and first food second. So…read morethe crowd is very bar heavy. Western themed but I would say it's a country bar. Service was great! The food however was lacking. Sub par bar food. Coca-cola wings have no seasoning. Burger is blah. But perhaps the most offensive this was the chili. I got wedges so he were good and well season with chili. The chili had corn in it. I like corn. It doesn't belong in chili. Otherwise it was good chili. If you want to bring some sweetness to the chili give a side of cornbread. Not corn kernels. Come here for drinks and to watch the games. Eat the food to soak up the alcohol.
