I ordered the Filet with salad and fries. The steak was cooked properly but lacked any flavor. They wrap bacon around the steak, but it did not add much. The food was hot and fresh. I was told it is a step above Longhorn, but my experience would rate this below Longhorn.

The jacketed baked potato loaded (no bacon) is my go to since I'm a vegetarian. Mmmmm!! I was with two others that ordered a filet and a sirloin. They cleaned their plates!

It's a classic western steakhouse. Not a huge menu, but what they serve is very tasty! The atmosphere is relaxed and the decor is western ranch house. The bar and country music make you feel at home in cowboy hat and boots, if that's your thing! Most things on the menu are good and some items are very good. Every appetizer I've had is amazing. Their filet mignon or ribeye and baked potatoes are classic and about as good as it gets. The fresh baked bread and salads are delicious additions to most meals. And frankly the prices are the same or lower than you can get in a grocery store for the same quality unless you know a cattle rancher! But they do the cooking and bring it to your table! Good luck trying to make room for dessert, but those options are good, too! They will package one up to take home if you need to. Make sure to come with an appetite!

I only say surprisingly because in the beginning the service seemed it might be slow and although we had a larger party, it took awhile to be seated. However, the ladies were able to make it happen and very nice as well. The feeling seems a bit older of the restaurant and I did expect it to be a little nicer but all in all, it was a good meal in a clean restaurant with great service.

You also get this large baked bread. The prime rib was perfectly booked, juicy, thick and delicious. The horse radish was shaved which was great with a large portion of au jus. The satay mushrooms were delicious and the mash potatoes with the white gravy creamy and well seasoned. The rib eye was juicy and the twice baked potato was large. Overall, you get a huge bang for your buck for quality prime rib. Would highly recommend
