    Cute restaurant in Elizabeth City! I definitely would've drove by without realizing it was a restaurant! I ordered the Montero's Prime Rib which was rubbed with rosemary and garlic, slow roasted and served with au jus. Greek Tofu Bites: Crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside, these tofu bites are perfectly deep fried, tossed in our lemon-herb seasoning and served with both marinara and roasted red pepper aioli. Bangin' cauliflower; Lightly breaded and deep fried, tossed with our plant-based bangin' sauce and served over shaved cabbage. This restaurant had ALOT of vegan/vegetarian options! And they were all so flavorful! Ahah clearly I balanced my prime rib with vegan options too! They have areas for a private dinning area for a slightly larger party. Plenty of room for large parties. They have their own parking lot area and they offer curb pick up as well!

    From what I've heard this is one of the best restaurants in Elizabeth city and I had to come and try it myself. This restaurant is in fact very different from the others around you can come dressed nicely and enjoy really good food. There is a total of 5 different rooms which I thought was so unique each room has a different color theme. We made a reservation arrived in time and barely had to wait 5 minutes upon arrival. Now quick reminder I am originally from New York so the building is unique to me it is not the restaurant front that I am accustom to we really drove right past it and didn't know it was a restaurant but the inside is beautiful! My mother and daughter accompanied me on this night and the following was our dining experience. For appetizer we got the Bangin' Shrimp and it was fried to perfection, the shrimp is on top of a bed of slaw and it had very good flavor and the right amount of spice the sauce was so good. For entrees my mother got the Brown sugar encrusted pork chops which was topped with sautéed onions and paired with corn and cheddar mashed potatoes. She said she enjoyed it, it had good flavor. My daughter got the kids pizza with tater tots I mean it might just be pizza but she enjoyed it (kids lol) and I got the Maple Glazed Salmon which was paired with spinach and red onion and mashed potato. They do offer 1/2 or full potion plates and I got the full now I didn't expect 2 pieces of salmon at all however let me tell you this everything on my plate was cooked well I asked for my salmon medium and it was cooked right, it was not heavy I literally ate it all and still had room for dessert!!!!! For dessert I ordered the warm chocolate brownie which comes with vanilla ice cream, chocolate and caramel drizzle we all ate it and it was nice and warm delicious! If you ever visit the area or live around the area and haven't given this place a chance I say head on over you will not be disappointed.

    The food tonight was wonderful. My husband and I are here for our 8th year anniversary. We both enjoyed the banging shrimp for appetizers, tender, spicy and perfect. Our main dish was the 6 oz prime with potatoes. We come here every year for our anniversary and will continue this amazing experience in the future. Thank you Andy and your amazing staff. As always, you all outdid yourself once again.

    This review was for this restaurant 9-21-24 I hesitated to leave it but now after another trip that…read morewas "OK" At best. Here is the review. On Saturday morning my wife and I decided to try out the newest restaurant in town, skipping lunch and jumping onto the waitlist just added to the excitement. Although Texas Roadhouse has been open for about a month now, they still seem to be packed nightly! We had no trouble finding a spot to park and got in line with everyone else. The outside of the building adds to the excitement and experience, playing classic country and honky tonk. Its style is spot on and adds to the legendary character. After the obligatory amount of time passed my wife and I were shown to our seats, our table was a little dirty and the floor was covered in trash. The appetizer plates were dirty and there was no silverware, but all things considered it was no big deal. After Al a busy restaurant is a good restaurant for the customers and the employees. We ordered our drinks and a blooming onion, the drinks arrived rather quickly along with the replacement plates. We went ahead and ordered our dinner, I ordered a 16oz sirloin rare Pittsburgh style, baked potato and some broccoli, along with a side of horseradish and a side of sour cream. My wife ordered a 8oz sirloin medium rare,baked potato and mixed vegetables. Our waitress took our orders and that was the last time we saw her for the next hour or so. Our blooming onion came and looked delicious! We were both playing a little trivia game and began to dig in. The crunchy parts were good, but sadly the onion. Was both over cooked and undercooked. We ate what we could and did enjoy the sauce, It's a spicy sauce that pairs well with the onion. Unfortunately for me I didn't foresee the lack of refills in my future. Our steaks came out within 15 minutes of our arrival so great speed, The steak was cooked to the right level and was crisp and blackened on the outside. The flavor of the steak was pretty good also, I did lack my sour cream and horseradish sauce. I made due, eating my baked potato and waiting for the waitress to return so I could get something to drink! Alas! My hope was in vain! My steak was good, it was suitably tender and the flavor was good. My wife's steak on the other hand was, how can I put this? More of the consistency of pâté that had been grilled somehow, it was a disappointment and to be honest I've never eaten a steak that had that consistency and texture. She subsided on her potato and vegetables, filling her belly with the sides and a legendary disappointment. We waited about 30 minutes after our food arrived to begin looking for our server, we had seen the excitement of two Texas style birthdays and one round of dancing! What we had not seen was our waitress, not wanting to be rude and just walk up to the waitress stand, I waited for a manager to pass and I stopped her to let her know our concerns, I had to inform her that I was thirsty and had not seen our waitress in about half an hour, but more of an issue than my desiccated mouth was the repulsive texture of my wife's steak, it had the consistency on boiled chicken liver, mealy and squishy texture that was completely unpalatable. After telling her she looked at me blankly and I had to hint to her about payment, I asked wether I should just pay here or should I wait for a check, she stared at me intelligently. I had to inform her that would not be paying for the steak that was brought out for my wife. Now, I understand that a busy restaurant can be a stressful job, and management is doubly difficult. But there has to be a point in which you slow down and make sure your customers are happy, or at least alive. Instead of having the meal gratis as I would expect I was told that the steak would be removed from my check. Not the sides. I know it's a trivial thing but when you as the manager take matters into your hands you could a least not charge for the "legendary"mixed vegetables. Raw broccoli and some slightly steamed carrots don't break the bank but I digress. She came back to show me how she removed the 8oz sirloin from my check , with some apologies and asked us to try the place again. We were gracious and thankful. She left us to pay on the kiosk at the table. As I began to pay I came to the tip screen, and instead of allowing me to discuss tip with my wife in private the manager returns with the waitress, like a hound who wanted to make up for piddling on the floor. Feeling extremely uncomfortable and embarrassed I just tipped 20% and called it a night. As I sit here writing this review my mouth is still dry, although I had the manger at the table I was still not offered another drink, so I recommend this restaurant to all those who are of the toothless nature and those who perhaps bring with them a canteen of water. Please I invite you to have a legendary time.

I ordered the Surf and turf burger which was described as a burger with lump crab on it and an old bay aioli. The burger was two much for the amount of lump crab on it. Two patties with a smear of lump crab. I was informed that was a new item on the menu and the server asked about what would have made it better and I said the same thing I'm telling you ( just one burger Pattie would have been plenty). As an appetizer we ordered buffalo wings which weren't bad but they are breaded and sauced which I prefer naked and sauced. Overall not the worst meal I have had but also not the best.

And despite it being one of the restaurant businesses busiest nights. We were pleasantly surprised they gave us a wait time of 15 minutes. At first we didn't believe it, but the food was ready in 15 minutes. My husband noted that when he walked inside to collect the food, the restaurant was packed, so the speed was impressive. However; fast forward to the reason we showed up, the food. It was disappointing, to say the least. We ordered food plain for my grandson, and we still had to pull stuff off to eat. This would be just an inconvenience, except most times when people order food without something, it is due to allergies. Also....the biggest issue with the food was the steak. Applebees use to be our date night place, we ate there once or twice per week. That stopped years ago, the steak was the reason why. A chef/cook must know temperature. This is always a problem. The steak was chewy and difficult to cut with a very sharp knife. The reason was because it wasn't just a little off from medium, it was raw and bloody. This was disappointing because the flavor was good.
