Carly was our waitress tonight and she was amazing, quick to greet and seat us, she gave excellent recommendations, and treated us like family. David was our chef tonight and our ribeye steaks were perfect and his Cajun shrimp pasta made mouth happy! Lexi was very informative! We found our steak house!!!

We had an early dinner so there was no waiting. We were seated immediately and the service was excellent. My husband had the prime rib dinner with pilaf. Said the meat was seasoned well and very tender. The pilaf was buttery, the vegetables were fresh, not frozen and salad was cold and crisp. I had the meatloaf dinner and all was homemade and delicious. For dessert we shared the lemon berry cake. To die for it was so moist! We will definitely go back again. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Food 9/10 Service 10/10 Atmosphere 10/10 good short ribs and biscuits and gravy. I felt my breakfast burrito was overly greasy but still good. The sausage links were awesome, homemade ish. Wonderful service!

This place is ridiculous—in the best way possible! Honestly, we didn’t expect much because it’s in a tiny town with more cows than people, but wow… were we in for a surprise! From the mouthwatering Korean BBQ Rib appetizer to the decadent Ube Cheesecake, every bite was perfection. Hats off to Chef David—you, sir, are a true master of your craft. We’ve had steaks at big-name places like Hell’s Kitchen that couldn’t hold a candle to what we had here. If you’re anywhere nearby (or even just passing through), do yourself a favor and stop in for a meal. You won’t regret it.
