    Only giving one star because you can't give zero. I waited and waited for my take out order after check in, they never came, never answered the phone, so I went in. There were 2 other diners. Finally got my cold processed "meat" and sad, half rotten "loaded" potato ( literally just a plain potatoe lol) and warm, wilty salad. I highly recommend McDonald's over this joint.

    Wow, this place has really gone down hill.....ill give credit where credit was due...the chili is excellent, but that's where it stops... ordered a $34 steak and shrimp meal.....steak was flat....can tell it was weighted down to speed cooking and it was ordered med rare. Was quite an underwhelming peice of meat in both size, flavor, and prep......and really? 4 medium shrimp? Finally, where do you even find a sweet potato that small.....maybe 3 inches long. I mean, that's the low cost part. You'd think they'd use big potatoes to at least make the plate look full. Can't imagine being more disappointed when paying for a steak dinner.

    My experience here was, honestly, poor. The restaurant itself is decent on the inside with plenty of seating. The host and hostess were quick to seat me. My waitress/server was named Stephanie. Initially, I thought it was going to be a stellar dining experience. But I was deas wrong. I was waiting for my Sister to arrive and Stephanie took my drink order and brought bread. When she arrived a few minutes later we placed our orders which included appetizers. It took a very long time to get them and it took an even longer time to get our main dishes dishes to arrive. My sister had an undercooked (very hard) baked potato. I was so disappointed in mine (6 ounce steak and shrimp) because it was terrible. In fact, my Caesar salad was disgusting. When it came time to pay I gave the Stephanie my debit card. She had it in her possession for so long I, literally, went looking for her. She had to be gone for about a half hour. I was [and still am] truly uncomfortable with this issue and have been diligently watching my account. So far so good (thank God). In conclusion, I will not patronize this place again nor would I ever recommend it to anyone. Skip the poor treatment and bad food. Spend your money elsewhere.

    Steak was tender, but rest of the food was not too good. Wings were too salty, they forgot one of my sides . Restaurant was not crowded at all. Picked up order around 1:30 so maybe a few cars in the lot. Ribs were covered in sauce and extremely bland and over cooked. Tasted like sauce was just slapped on old ribs that been reheating all afternoon. Baked potato was covered in tons of salt, had to wipe it off. I will not return to this location. Shrimp was tasty but still too much salt. This location is just too heavy handed with salt.

    We recently ordered from Outback Steakhouse and overall had a really good experience! I got the Aussie steak sandwich and honestly, it surprised me—in a good way. I’m not even an onion person, but everything about the sandwich just worked. The flavors were really well balanced and I ended up enjoying the whole thing. My husband ordered the Blooming Burger and loved it, especially the crunchy onions on top. That seemed to be the highlight for him. For the kids, we got a chicken tender meal with broccoli and fries to split. The broccoli was actually seasoned really well (which isn’t always the case at restaurants), so that was a nice bonus. We also tried the Boomerang Cheese sticks, which were pretty good—but we did eat them after they cooled down a bit since we took everything to a park for a picnic before the playground. I’m sure they would’ve been even better fresh, same with the Blooming Onion. Ours lost some of that crunch because of condensation in the takeout container, but the flavor was still there. The only thing I personally didn’t love was the Bloom Sauce. It has horseradish in it, which I’m not a fan of, so that explains it. I actually preferred the Blooming Onion with ranch instead. My husband, on the other hand, liked the sauce just fine. Overall, we’d definitely order again—especially if we’re eating it fresh next time!
