    Went here on 4/13/24 Went here with a friend for lunch. Now that the days are getting warmer- they have outdoor seating. Inside is welcoming. Very clean. Laid out nicely. Many options in the menu besides burgers. We both ordered bacon Cheeseburgers. They offer up 2 choices of fries. The burgers were huge. Fresh and made to perfection. Everything was perfect. The person who waited on us did a great job for us. Rough us out beverages right away and the food came up pretty fast even tho the place was pretty busy. I met the owner. Very nice lady. This is a privately owned establishment. Love supporting local places. There is more than one of these places. I think she said there are two others? But they are all privately owned. Great place to take your family, friends or kids to. They have plenty of tv's if u want to watch a game. They also have music videos playing in some of the tv's. Great atmosphere. Very well maintained/clean. Until the next review, Steve-O, out!

    This bar has a LOT of top shelf liquors. Impressed.

    1/15/22 - 2:30 PM First time here, and it's a a very nice place. Slots in the back, and awesome album wallpaper! The menu is vast with burgers, pizzas, Mac & cheese, wings, etc. Had a gin & tonic and the bartender did everything right. Ordered at 2:40, received food at 2:53. Hot food, right from the kitchen, love it! 3 drinks + food : $32.54 Pros: Attentive service Vegetarian options (Beyond burger, salads, etc) Full bar with multiple beer options Large TV's at multiple locations Macaroni is freshly made to order (confirmed by chef). Mac & Cheese is good, better than most places I can name but won't. IF you play the slots, the bar will give you $5 to start!? Cons: Bacon in Mac was either over cooked or reheated: dry like jerky Nitpicks: --------

    Boneless wings, Thai chili, Makers Mark BBQ.

    Aaron was our server and he was great! Very attentive. We had the boneless wing. Great sauce and nice big bites. We each had a burger. Both burgers were cooked to our spec. Oh and the $7 double talk's went down very easy. Good selection of both food and drinks.

    Hayley is an awesome server. Here's my slider Bloody Mary!   Mmmmm

    Awesome Bloody Mary. Also the prime rib wrap was very tasty. My daughter had chicken Parmesan sandwich and loved it.

    Went here with the wife for a quick lunch date. We saw the some pictures of the food and thought wow looks really good. We got seated right away server came fairly quick to give us menus but that's where the quick serviced stopped. Waited quite a while to order in a not too busy place. We got cheese curds as appetizers we saw them sitting waited to be served for a good amount of time. Then when it came to our meals I guess cleaning up tables and gathering a bill that the customers already left was more important than hot food. By the time our food came my fries were cold the wrap was warm not hot. The wife's burger came with out onions and with lettuce we asked for the opposite we returned it the server just added raw onion, it was supposed to come with onion tanglers main reason she ordered it. So we sent it back again. Then of course waiting for the bill took for ever because our server must be expecting a huge rush at 2pm on a Friday bc she had to make sure every table clean or dirty was wiped down. Then we got our bill. Will not be going back food was mediocre at best service was poor

    A great choice if you are craving Italian food with a nice ambiance. As mentioned by other…read morereviewers, it can get crowded and reservations are definitely a better idea then chancing a walk-in. All of the servers that we have ever had here have been really, really nice as well as well informed as to the menu. The lasagna here is PHENOMENAL!! My wife and I usually order different dishes so that we can try new things, but here we always both order the lasagna. A typical night for us looks like an order of the bruschetta as an app, two lasagna entrees...and maybe a few vodka sodas and captain and diets to wash things down :) I have also tried the pizza a few times, and it is good...but the heart in my stomach is in love with the lasagna.

We tried a cranberry and apple salad with scallops. The scallops were the best part. The beer list was more interesting than the wine list, but they did have several wines available by the glass. 4/5 Service: Both the bartender and Andrea our server were very attentive 4.5/5 Ambience: huge parking lot surrounding the restaurant. There was apparently a birthday party for a six-year-old with some very wild children running about. Once they left, the place was much more pleasant. 3.5/5

It's a pretty dark, steakhouse, vibe inside with old school Frank Sinatra-esque music in the background. The service level here was perfect, I love a place where the staff plays zone and if someone notices something then they cover it seamlessly. Nick was our server and took great care of us. we tried the following: Drinks - I had a dirty gin martini and my wife had a captain and diet (her go to) and both were perfectly mixed. Appetizers - We were really looking forward to the buratta appetizer, but it had just gone off menu, so we went with the goat cheese that replaced it, which was good (but I would cut down the number of sun-dried tomatoes by 1/3). My wife ordered the onion soup and really enjoyed it. Mains - My wife had the filet and said it was the best she has had in a long while. I am a sucker for lamb and wasn't feeling like a steak, so that is what I went with. Both were amazing and we both had mashed potatoes. Mine also came with carrots with a demi-glaze. Everything was delicious. Dessert - The restaurant was kind enough to serve my wife a complimentary dessert for her birthday. It was amazing, but we were so full we could only manage a few bites. Will definitely be back!!

    A long time favorite which we do not get to as often. Ir is known for being on the pricey side…read more We had had made a same day reservation on a Friday which I was happy to get. It was an early seating 5:00. We were guided through a fairly empty dining room to the upstairs room. There was one couple already seated in an otherwise empty room. We were seated immediately next to them..... we may as well have been sitting at their table. I not only thought this strange but actually a bit rude. But, I did not make an objection. The food at this restaurant is always good and the wild game selection along with the specials are usually the good bets. In the past the wine list was more cost friendly but still not bad. My only criticism of the menu is the rather limited appetizer selection. Our entrees were very good but overall the experience was stilted by the poor judgement of the hostess serving us.

I'm not certain, I think this was all over an older hothead female bartender/waitress trying to keep tip money away from other waitresses, but I don't really know. There was an older female waitress/bartender in a bright pink shirt who right away got upset because our whole party wasn't there at the same time when she came and took our drink order, she then weirdly barked at us that we couldn't spilt our orders... she was apparently having a bad day we could all tell! We stopped here for drinks and food after a wedding down the road on an early sat afternoon. A couple minutes later another different waitress came to our table who was visibly was uncomfortable by telling us that we would have to order at the bar now(?). Seemed confusing and weird but was not a big deal to us - we're out celebrating. Others in our party then also sat at another table next to us and were served by another waitress without issue. Several min later some of us we were interested in ordering food, but weren't sure how, pink shirt lady who barked we all had to be on same tab and also wouldn't/didn't come back to our table to take our order... Several people in our group tried to understand and work this out unsuccessfully over several interactions at the bar, and then including by having them trying to talk to another different bar tender who couldn't understand what old pink shirt lady had done and was doing either, and I can only imagine he hates having to work with her! I then also tried to talk to the other male bar tender who then claimed his name was Chris and he was the manager, and then told me no that I couldn't follow up with anyone else later. We then chose to leave (2:30pm), but not before the older lady in the pink shirt came to try to argue with me further, wow a crazy bad experience!

The place is veteran owned and has a military flare to the decor. For our area, this is welcome and we have nothing like it. They also frequently have live music, and I do love me some live music. The service has been great both time I was there. I sat at the bar the first time and a table the second...just to make sure the service was great in both locations! Of course bar service is always faster because you are right in front of them, but I will say I did not have to wait at any point to sit, order, or pay. They were friendly and genuinely wanted to make sure everything tasted as good as it looked. When I go to places that run specials I am voted less likely to order off the menu and I have stuck with that philosophy with SteelTank. The first time I had a steak and shrimp pasta. It was so good I could not stop eating it. I ate nearly all of it and had zero regrets, but I was happy I had a few bites left to enjoy the next day. Second stop, Sausage & Pepperoni stuffed Bavarian pretzel. This pizza of the week is delicious! The pretzel is cut in half and stuffed and not hollowed out as most places do. You can see from the pictures it is stuffed and you can taste the pizza. Greens with a pizza you say? YES! So good, the vinaigrette dressing that is on that pretty little salad is making my mouth water as I type! Specials were not mentioned either time I went. The specials are posted on Facebook and that is how I knew about SteelTank and what I should order. That would be my only complaint, when you receive a menu patrons should be told what the specials are - or - post it somewhere so people know.
