    Very nice waiter. Steak cooked perfect. I should have asked to have my espresso Martini redone as it didn't have the Bailey shot that I ordered with it and it didn't have a foamy top.

    Probably served the worst steak I have ever received while dining in any restaurant. The salad was very good, the baked potato was perfect, and the service was above average. But the steak was fatty, gristle, and tough as my shoe sole. It was ordered medium and from its appearance it was medium. Not sure where they got it but it was awful. I took two bites hoping the second bite would be better. Not the case. Left the rest of it on my plate. Should have sent it back.

    Our go-to for date night! We always request Katie for our server, but sadly she moved to Peoria and is no longer there. The food is always delicious and brought out promptly and we just love the new building and atmosphere.

    Server was nice and attentive. Steaks was really bad. I never return food but did this time. Raw in middle but over cooked on outside and dry. Server was nice though. Bloomin onion was good.

    This is a review based off a pickup order so I can only base it off of that and not a sit down experience. I got there just after my order was finished so it was fresh, but it was not good. The only good thing about it was the fact that I didn’t have to get out of my car because I ordered curbside and the guy who brought me my food was friendly. Other than that the food was terrible. I ordered a combo 8oz sirloin and half a rack of ribs with a side of the new steakhouse Mac and cheese and the loaded mashed potatoes. The sirloin I could have only describe as an oversized stoffers Salisbury steak by appearance and it was extremely overcooked and chewy even though I ordered it medium rare. It was definitely cooked to a medium well instead. The ribs themselves were also overdone to the point where some parts were burnt and they were over sauced. Pretty sure all that sauce was on there to distract from the fact that like 90% of the moisture and juice had been cooked out of the meat. Neither pieces of meat had any redeeming quality to them and they were honestly both just terrible. The Mac and cheese that I paid an extra 3.50 for was extremely wet and watery and not good at all. And even though I paid another extra 3.50 for loaded potatoes I got regular potatoes. The potatoes boy other thing I ordered was the boomerang mozzarella sticks and those were pretty good. So thankfully the cooks at this steakhouse know how to run a frier even though they clearly have no idea at all how to run a grill. Never coming back again it was a complete waste of 50 bucks (and yes that was for myself so it was also expensive), next time I’ll go to Texas Roadhouse it’s across the street and they actually know how to cook food correctly
