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.
