The ribeye is a restaurant my wife and I friends and family have Eaten net for years. The ribeye recently sold and I had multiple friends and family say, their steaks were really tough and tasteless.
Salad bar was still pretty good however tomatoes were definitely beyond ripe. Both of our steaks were like leather and had no flavor at all. The twice baked potato was delicious. However, a hole was cut out of the top of the potato, and just a small scoop of twice baked potato was put on top of the hole, and the rest of the potato was just potato, not twice baked. We will not go back again. What a shame.

Food was good, I wouldn’t say great!! Steaks seemed small per ounce that they say it is. However, the ribeye was again, good not the best I’ve had. The filets looked very small per ounce compared to when I cook my own. The salad bar is pretty solid with lots of options. Overall, it was better than most but still overpriced in my opinion.
