    Most undercooked steak I’ve ever paid 33$ for in my life also 45%of the steak was in eatable fat it’s crazy to pay this much for food and get a shitty order for when you get home to eat it

    Food was great and our server Cody S was amazing. The manager came to our table to make sure everything was good. Very happy with the whole experience. I would recommend this location.

    Disappointing experience overall. Placed an order through the app for curbside pickup, and ended up not receiving the whole order. Food was very flavorful as expected, but the portions and quality were not great. Almost everything was lukewarm and the sides that we did receive were actually cold. I absolutely expect the food to have lost some freshness in transit, but it’s less than five minutes away and we arrived a few minutes early to ensure the food wouldn’t have to sit out too long. When I called to let the restaurant know about the issue, they apologized but were defensive that it was in the definitely in the bag. Willing to give it another chance inside, but never doing curbside again.

    I've had many pleasant outings at this location so maybe it was just time that one fell below the belt. Now our server was pleasant but a little more than forgetful. Case in point, after a round of adult beverages I ordered sweet tea (upon emptying never refilled). My better half asked for an extra ranch when our salads came out (never received). Better half ordered the build your own and picked the 17.99 sirloin option (were charged 20.99 for) with chocolate thunder FDU as her desert (had to remind server). Then we have the uneatible overly seasoned chips with our spinach dip appetizer (had to request unseasoned) Finally better half's steak was so heavily. Seasoned she couldn't eat it. Hopefully, we'll see this as a one off bad night. Pick it up guys!
