Jun 25, 2026"Not sure why it has such low reviews. Sometimes gruff service and no host means it’s jockeying for tables a bit. Food is fine, nothing super special but beats Mexican or pizza. Arcade games for the kids is a total win for a somewhat relaxing adults dinner!"

We came here two days in a row because the food was just that good. The ribeye was phenomenal — perfectly cooked and full of flavor. Being from SoCal, we’re spoiled with tons of food options, but this place absolutely hit the mark. My daughter loved the ribs — the meat literally fell off the bone. Next time we’re in town, we’ll definitely be back!"
