    Ordered the Gambling Cowboy (24oz) prime rib medium rare & a pound of king crab legs, to share with my husband. The food was delicious! We also ordered the mushrooms with our steak. The artichoke appetizer was also very good!

    Made a reservation which I think really helped us out! We were seated immediately buy the hostess and I ordered a Bloody Mary with appetizers. Drink came promptly and appetizers were delicious. Food showed up right on time and was delicious. (Black and Blue Burger, Fish and Chips, Wedge Salad and Ribeye Sandwich). Absolutely great service. Our table was next to a large group of ladies celebrating something. They were kind of noisy it it didn’t bother me. Just be aware. We are in the outdoor balcony and the weather and views was great!!

    Amazing experience. My girlfriend and I wanted something in the heart of Old Town and it was located perfectly. The vibe inside was western and the lighting was perfect for a date. Great brunch selection. Highly recommend the chicken fried steak with sausage gravy. Can’t go wrong!!!

    So so food. Nothing special. My $72 steak was not what I would expect. Maybe this place was great at one point in time. But it needs a deep cleaning and a new executive chef
