Stopped there on 7-10-2026 from a recommendation from the hotel that we spent the night at before…read morewe flew out the next day, what a mistake.
Walked into the place and they sat us down into a freezing room. The waitress told us that it would get warmer as the crowd shows up. We told them that we were freezing and they still did not offer to move us.
Fortunately we were going to miss the crowd since we weren't going to stay there for 4-5 hours for them to show up to exhale enough carbon dioxide to warm the room up.
So my wife orders the salmon dish and it came with two sides, she couldn't chose the sides, the dish had broccoli and salad.
I order the filet mignon, baked potato and salad and specifically inform the waitress that I want my steak to be cooked "medium". Not "medium rare or medium well done", because the cooks always get it wrong depending on the thickness of the steak if they have a mediocre chef.
Well she brings the salads out, can't mess up the salads, right? Salads look mediocre at best, small, nothing to brag about.
Still freezing our asses off in the room.
The meals are arriving, yeah...
My wife's salmon plate was on fire as she bringing it out. The wooden platter that the fish was placed on was on fire which was burning/charr-broiling (crispy) the end of the salmon, the waitress put the fire out as she sat it down on the table, I shit you not!!!
She sat my steak and bake potato down. The potato is a nice sized one and cooling off due to the room being so cold and it's got butter on it and the butter is not even melting, so I'm like okay.
The waitress (bless her heart) asked me to cut into my steak to verify that it's cooked to my standard before she walks away and asked me if I wanted anything else, why yes I do, I want some A-1 steak sauce like I asked for before. I cut the steak open and it's rare to medium rare. Take it back and get it right.
At this point if the A-1 sauce had been there with everything else going on, I would have eaten the steak, took my losses and left and gave her a poor tip.
Bam, she comes back with plate which is splattering grease on me (I have a white pullover shirt on) and the table with one of those little ketchup tubs half-way full of some type of steak sauce. You know the type that you pump into the little cups where you get the flatware from and tells me it's @ 350 degrees or some shit like that. At this point, I'm done. I don't care if blood is pouring out of the piece of meat, a little bit of steak sauce, a frozen baked potato, it's going down.
Nothing like having a filet that's burnt crispy on the ends, good crispy burnt crunchy tasting and getting to a medium pink middle, what a transition. I used to grill like that.
My wife did love her salmon, she didn't eat the broccoli, it would have been nice if she had a choice on her side.
The waitress asked if we wanted desert, I just ignored her after that.
Got my check, poor tip and left.
I think that the salad or meal gave me diarrhea in the evening at the hotel. I had indigestion and diarrhea all night long and the next morning. I had to go over to a local store and buy some stop the flow pills just so that we could fly out of town that day.
The funny thing is that Rib & Chop House sent a survey link to fill out and when I went to fill it out, that's why I'm doing this one, I started out with a poor rating. Then they send you a verification code to start it, the code wouldn't work, resend, it wouldn't work. I was really done then.
