I have seen a few people that could eat the "queen cut" prime rib, but NEVER the "king cut" prime rib. It's the size of a roast!! HUGE! If you want to experience the taste, but avoid the price, order the PRIME RIB SANDWICH. It's around $8 and comes with one side. The house potatoes are good too...sliced potatoes fried with peppers/onions and topped with cheese and sour cream. The Bloody Mary's are excellent. This is also a kid friendly place to eat. They offer kids meals, sippy cups and high chairs if you need them. Make sure to call ahead for a reservation (especially in the fall/winter months). This has been one of my favorite places to eat locally. I have never been disappointed!

The pizza & chicken are awesome!

They also have chicken nuggets & french fries on the buffet which to my suprise both look & taste alot like Mcdonalds. They have a cherry & blue raspberry slushie machine, an ice cream machine & TVs at every table. The staff is SUPER friendly & the resturant is always very clean. Like I said, I... LOVE... THIS...
