    The 2 hour table limit came as a surprise. No notice on reservation, and no indication when we checked in. What made it worse was that one of our party arrived early and that started the clock. I'm fine with a table limit, just be up front about it.

    Always perfect. We had the specials of a sirloin and lamb chops and each was prepared to the expectations I have with Allens: perfect.

    Had a great time! Servers were great. Baked potato was a bit dry but steaks and creamed spinach were great

    A bit disappointing than my first. I came here a week ago and it’s Valentines day back then but service and seating was fast. Today, it seems like they are overbooked and the service was bit slower than before. Food was ok, it’s not bad but my order last week was better. I’ll probably go back but more likely not anytime soon.

    Our first time ordering from the Feb Steak Fest menu and it lived up to its reputation. The food was excellent, along with the service. Well worth it. We plan on going again next February.
