Gotta give credit where it's due - Cesar was our waiter and was fantastic. He was quite busy with running food and drink to tables and taking orders and checking in while still remaining friendly, courteous and accommodating. The food was very good - served hot and the steaks were cooked to the liking of each person.

Our waitress,Louisa, was slow at coming to our table and taking our order. She put in the wrong drink order, had soup and salad come out at the same time for my husband. We asked for a to go box and never got it, we finally just went up to bar and asked for one. No bread was brought to the table.

I'll try not to be too bougie about it, but this is a chain steakhouse. You're not going to get anything groundbreaking, but you will get the same experience generally every time. And this time was no exception. The steak was cooked exactly how I ordered it, and seasoned well. I got the sweet potato, loaded, and it was fantastic. We also got the trio appetizer and everything came out fresh and crispy and was enjoyed by the table.
At the time that I went they had a " three course meal " and I went with the house salad, the 8 oz sirloin, and then the cheesecake with raspberry sauce. For $22 it was a pretty good deal. How salad was nothing to write home about but it was crisp and cold and fresh. As I stated earlier the steak I ordered medium rare and it came out with a nice red center. The seasoning was great and I had no struggles chewing or enjoying the steak. The cheesecake was also good although I did take it home and eat it later.
Overall everybody enjoyed their meal, nobody had any complaints. The service was quick end excellent and the manager stopped by to make sure that we had no complaints or questions.
I would go again.

For the price, I think this is the best cost for quality out there in my opinion. I got a porterhouse steak, 22 ounce for 36$ and it was terrific.
Additionally, the Funion was fun. A little overcooked but that's okay because the steak and sides made up for it. Terrific mac n cheese. The coleslaw, potatoes and green salad were nice.
