    I was there today order ribs, fries, coleslaw, and cornbread ribs had no flavor. Their barbecue sauce wasn’t good. Their fries been cooked in bad grease they wasn’t good. I ordered coleslaw had no flavor. Cornbread was cold so I gave him one star for effort.

    Been years since i've been to steamboat, decided to grab lunch. It was awful, the links were so dry I could barely eat them. I asked for moist brisket and it had no flavor and was also dry. I remember it being better. Service was good though. Ended up feeding the rest of the brisket to my dog.
