One of the benefits that steakhouses have over other restaurants is that they need to execute one…read morething well. Steak - that's all. Unfortunately Rick Erwin's missed the mark on its primary assignment. The restaurant is nicely decorated in the style of a steakhouse. Dark wood paneling and shutters adorn the walls with pleasant dim lighting shining down from above. Service was strong with a team serving our table. We were greeted immediately and offered water and a drink. However, we were not offered bread, which is unusual for a steakhouse. Our appetizer of Buffalo Cauliflower was just ok. The breading had a subtle after-taste, which may have been from the batter being undercooked. And the buffalo sauce was not very prominent. So the dish was not as strong as I would have wanted. For our main course, we ordered the porterhouse for two--the signature dish at any steakhouse. Unfortunately, it fell short. When the steak arrived, it lacked the expected presentation; it had been grilled rather than broiled and was served without the usual butter or sizzling finish. That missing sizzle wasn't just visual--it showed in the flavor. A proper porterhouse should have a rich, salty, buttery finish, but this one was surprisingly bland. Just as disappointing, instead of being presented as the centerpiece of the table, the steak was served on a plate that we were apparently expected to eat directly from. It felt odd and took away from what should have been a standout experience. Overall, this was a below average experience for a steakhouse. We will try it again down the road since the choices near Clemson are limited. But Rick Erwin's should really revisit what it is trying to be and then decide how to be that.

Several of us ordered them custom made. Everyone enjoyed them. Well prepared. The chips were crispy. They brought a warm bean dip with was great. They also have a salsa bar in the back with quite a variety of salsas to fit any taste... the spicy pineapple salsa was tops on my list. We had beer, wine, margaritas... across the four of us. Everyone liked what they got. The wine menu is basic, they have a bar so whatever you want is available, they had a nice selection of beer appropriate for the Mexican theme. We will definitely be coming back. Oh, we got there at 5 and were the second table occupied in the place. By 5:30 the place was full. So, on a Friday night be aware that the place is popular.

Today was the last time we will be dinning here. I waited 10 minutes to pick up the order while everyone just walked by me and didn't say a word it was empty so no one was busy with a table or anything like that. A regular walked in while I still waited to have someone come ring me up to get my food. He was happily greeted and taken care of. Fast forward to getting home with our food! And wtf. Disgusting quality now. Beans were hard and not edible. The steak was not very good in our fajita. Had no flavor. We got NO TORTILLAS with our fajitas make that make sense. Half filled $11 large cheese dip, with a half filled salsa and half filled chips. For almost $50 this is ridiculous. We won't be back anymore. Huge decline overall, it's really sad to see.

My friends and I came here on a Friday night, and the staff was excellent. We ordered a lot of waters, and they were constantly refilling them without us even having to ask. The service overall was super attentive. I got the barbecue nachos. I know that's not the most authentic Mexican option, but I saw it on the menu and had to try it. They were pretty good. I also ordered a mango margarita -- it was my first one, so I'm not the best judge, but I really liked it. My friend got the coconut margarita, and that one was very good too. Overall, the staff here is excellent, the food is solid, and the atmosphere makes it a really fun place to hang out. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the Keowee area.

The menu... guys, when I tell you they have a menu, they have a big Ass Menu! It's huge! Their pics in the menu actually look exactly like the food they serve you. We've ate there twice in the last week, both times we had wonderful service by a fella. He is super pleasant and on IT! He got our orders right both times. The first visit was just my husband and I and he orders more authentic Mexican food. The second visit was us and our 3 boys. Wow, were they impressed! The salsa bar is a big fave for us, too! Not to mention the BEST D. Coke in the world. Idk what it is about their soda, but it's the best I've had. I had tostones the second visit topped with shredded chicken and guacamole! Probably the best guac I've had. These are a spin on tostones I've never seen. We thoroughly enjoyed them. This was an appetizer. I ate one as a meal, that's how big this serving is (see pics)! My husband had the birria quesadilla. He raved over it and is a big birria fan!!! Highly recommend this restaurant. You will be coming back for more, like we did! Pros: great service, great atmosphere (a million TVs playing all the games, beautiful setting- renovated, great food, great soda, they have really big portions, great prices. There aren't really any cons. We were satisfied in every aspect with our visits.
