We got there earlier than scheduled time and were seated right away. We ordered the prime rib rare and it was rare (except the leaner side was a bit overcooked because of little fat - which is common). The service was great and attentive. Restroom was not dirty. We will go back for the good quality, great service, and unbelievable promotion.

The service was great. Our servers were welcoming, attentive, and helpful with recommendations. The food was good. Everyone in my dinner party enjoyed their food, even my kids who are picky eaters. We had the crab cakes, lasagna, pepperoni pizza, and shrimp fettuccini. I would definitely eat here again.

Great customer service and delicious food! The fajitas were so good. My mom enjoyed her taco and enchilada as well-said the carnitas was yummy:) The manager checked in on everyone which is always great to see. Our server took great care of us. Can’t wait to go back for more chips & margaritas!
