One of the worst dining experiences I have ever had!…read more My husband and I both ordered the sliced smoked brisket plate, which came with a soup and two sides. Unfortunately, the food was very disappointing. The Albondigas soup was probably the best part of the meal, but the portion was extremely small and it tasted like canned soup. The mashed potatoes were completely bland, and the refried beans were watery with a strange flavor. The "hickory smoked brisket" did not look or taste smoked at all. It looked more like it had been cooked in a slow cooker. The meat was pale, lacked any smoky flavor, and tasted as if it had been cooked, frozen, and reheated. Even the BBQ sauce couldn't improve it. The food was so bad that neither of us could finish our meals. We only ate a few bites before giving up. I would not recommend eating here.

A very sweet older woman was our server. She made sure we were well-tended to and we had everything we needed. I ordered huevos rancheros with red sauce. It was very good. It came with flour tortillas on the side. The tortillas had nice flavor and were very soft. They were different than tortillas I normally eat, but I'm used to Baja-style Mexican food. I thought the beans were flavorful, but a little on the dry side. I think they were on the plate too long before getting to me. Husband got the daily special with tacos. He enjoyed his meal and found it to be a good value. Dining room was clean and comfortable. Restroom was clean and well-stocked. If you are passing through, give this place a try.

They were learning their new cashier register, so it took a minute longer but it was no biggie at all. Food- since I wasn't sure what to order, I asked the guy at the register what he recommended. He said the Navajo taco. It was a good size for 2 . it was on a warm fried tortilla with beans, chili, lettuce, and cheese. I must say it was pretty yummy. We also got a side of fries. Can't mess that up FREE REFILLS... FYI. Overall- this place is cute and worth a stop if you're hungry and missed all the other stops to grab a bite. It has lots of Route 66 memorabilia on the walls and tables. Enjoy and Good Luck!

The 12oz ribeye steak is tasty, but thin and a bit fatty. Still the chef manages to get the temperature medium rare to medium, which is difficult with thin pieces of meat. The salad bar is an inexpensive add-on and is fresh, although it does not have expansive choices. The rolls served with dinner were also fresh and soft. Service can be a bit slow. This last time there was on one to greet us when we came in, and we stood around for a few minutes waiting for someone to notice us. Each time we come, restaurant is not very busy, yet the server seems to disappear for long periods of time. Perhaps she smokes King Size cigarettes.

I'm having a hard time writing in this review. I was in town for the night and really wanted some…read moresort of barbecue. The one place I was going to go to was closed, and this one popped up in my feed. So I thought I would go check it out. From the exterior, it looks like a very rustic steakhouse. Gravel parking, driveway, wooden walkway, and the extra of the building looks very rustic. When you open the door, you get a totally dark red neon steakhouse vibe. It's really cool and I love the wagon, wheels and other steakhouse accoutremont adorning the walls like brands, deer, horns, etc. This is where things go a little sideways. I sat there for at least 11 minutes before anyone came up to my table. Now granted it was Father's Day but looking around the restaurant it was not that crowded and there were multiple servers. So I'm really not sure what the problem was. The host up at the front saw me just sitting there at about 11 minutes in and came up and asked if I wanted some water while I waited and I told him I would also like an iced tea. About another 5 or 6 minutes later the iced tea was delivered by this waitress. Who gave me a look like I was the biggest annoyance in the world. The only thing missing was an eye roll and a sigh. I did not have high hopes for this meal. About another 5 minutes later she came back and asked if I had decided. I went with the beef short ribs cuz they sounded good, asked about the sides and went for the french fries and asked for them to be well done. And then she left. I finished my iced tea and was sitting around waiting for someone to come up and offer me a refill but that didn't happen too much later. Now mind you, as I said there were only a few tables in my section and I saw three servers. She finally came back and asked if I would like a dinner roll. I said sure. The waiting game began again. She came by a while later and asked if I'd like another tea which I did. In a few minutes later the tea showed up. The ribs finally got to the table at about 6:34 p.m. so I've been there for over a half hour at this point. The fries were hot, but definitely not well done. The ribs were actually pretty tasty, they were juicy and had a good amount of char on them. Plus it came with a side of vegetables and the vegetables were slightly Al dente which I like. Honestly, I did not see my waitress again until the end of the meal. When I was clearly finished and asked how I was doing. I said I would like the check. I expected to wait another 10 minutes or so for that, but she was on top of getting the check to me. So I paid my bill and left. I am torn on this because the food was was good, the ambiance was off the chart but the service was severely lacking. Now I don't know how many other chores she had to do back there, but taking care of guests seem to be low on the totem pole. There was a guy across from me in a booth and I could tell he was experiencing the same thing. Bottom line? I don't know if I'll ever come through this town again, but if I do I'm probably going to try a different place for barbecue. Barbecue. Sad, cuz this place would be a total five star if they could get the service up to snuff. They have a good concept, the ambiance is awesome but as a former server I can see a lot of growth areas for this place.
