I had the shrimp tacos that were nice and my friends loved the chips they got as their appetizer. I would definitely come back because it met me for a nice price.

Everyone has their own tastes, and mine simply don’t align with their recipes. I ordered what was labeled as their local favorite, but I was served a rare beef steak that was practically raw and still bleeding on the hot plate. It made me feel so nauseated that I couldn't even take any pictures. However, other dishes were really good, and our server did her best to make things right. The lava cake was absolutely DELICIOUS and one of the best I’ve ever had. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys steaks cooked rare or medium-rare.

The food tasted ok/good but it just seamed like something you could get in the frozen Section at Walmart.

I tried the Bacon Burger for $17, and to be honest, it could use some improvement for that price. The burger was quite greasy, and the portion of fries that accompanied it was rather small. Additionally, most of the menu items tend to be high in calories. While the prices are somewhat steep given the quality, they are still somewhat reasonable. It's a good spot for a quick bite with friends, but if you're seeking something more fulfilling, there are definitely better choices out there.

The potatoes were served cold, and the Southwestern egg rolls were disappointing—mushy, lukewarm, and presented in an unappealing way. I've enjoyed these in the past, but they just didn't taste good this time. Unfortunately, both of us felt unwell shortly after leaving the restaurant.
