Great meal. It’s a very casual place with friendly and efficient staff. There’s more to the menu than steaks but I didn’t make it past the 20oz filet which was perfect medium rare with slight char from the red oak. I did manage to finish the steak and baked potato but couldn’t make it as far as the included garlic bread (more like Texas toast), beans or ice cream so I can’t comment on them. It was hopping at 7p on a Monday night when we arrived but by 8p had largely cleared out. It’s a tremendous value given the size and quality of the proteins.

Even with reservations for 6pm, it wasn't until 6:18pm that we were seated. There was not enough staff to wait on the large number of diners.

There were four of us celebrating my dad's 92nd birthday. The food was delicious. They even sang to my dad and gave him an ice cream sundae to enjoy; he does love ice cream!
