    Tried this place out through Uber Eats because traffic was so bad there was just no way to get to it. We ended up going back to our Air BNB and ended up finding this place and decided to try it. After putting in our order and having 3 different drivers cancel on us, we finally got one driver that stuck it out and got our food. To be fair it was some weird event happening with a lot of uh I'll say people in huge jacked up trucks with huge wheels which is why we went back to our Air BNB we felt super uncomfortable. Anyways to the food we ordered quit a bit of food so first up is the cheese and queso. I thought this was really good. The cheese had great flavor and wasn't runny or watery. It was a really good consistency with a slight kick. The chips though were good and crunchy but could have used salt. They were also a touch oily. Next up the sampler. The quesadillas were actually bomb would get again, the mozzarella sticks were fried perfectly and still cheesy, The wings were well sauced but could have used some seasoning. The sauces for everything was also good. Lastly I had this huge bacon cheese burger with a fried onion on it. The burger was seasoned well and cooked just how I wanted it. This bad boy was thick and juicy and I would 100% get this again. The fries however were terrible. All in all I'd definitely order from here again. I hope next time I can actually eat inside the restaurant and try everything fresh.

    What a great time we had here! We were looking for something out of the way and found it. The service, our food, and the drinks were great!

    Friendly local spot in a tourist destination. Great burgers and meaty chicken wings. If you get "hot" sauce be ready. It's flavorful but it's brings significant heat. Limited sides but great pub food overall. Check it out.

    Happy to check this place off our list but this is a "one and done" kind of place for us. The owners/managers don't seem to care much because there is no efforts to upkeep. Broken tables, ripped/overly worn seats. The restrooms are one person at a time so quite the wait. Upon arrival we wasn't sure if we were supposed to be seated or seat ourselves. After about 5 minutes of standing amongst other diners waiting to be seated, I went to the bar to ask an employee. She told us to seat ourselves. We ordered the nachos for an appetizer. They tasted like they came straight from the microwave. We also ordered the club sandwich with fries and 8 mild wings. The wings had a good, savory flavor. The club was your typical club. The fries were a bit too salty but cooked well. Again, I'm happy to finally have checked this place out but will not be returning.

    We arrived about 5:15 on Sunday. About 25-30 people in the bar. Tod was our waiter. We ordered the pretzels and nachos. We had to ask for plates. The beer cheese was terrible. The cheese tasted like cold beer it had absolutely no cheese taste. The nachos were probably the worse I've ever had. The beer was cold. We were supposed to meet 4 other couples there but we called them and told them not to come. We were so hoping Bluff's would be great as we live within walking distance and myself and my friends love to hang out. We told Tod and 2 others at the bar how unsatisfactory the food was and I told them that I do Yelp. ... good and bad. $39.39 and terrible. A photo taken of the bill.

    Everything nachos!

    We stopped in for a bite after shopping all day. Really hot out so we were not going to go anywhere until we saw a sign for BLUFFS ON A BILLBOARD . Found it with ease. Everybody was very polite. We got seated really fast. They were remotely busy. It was 830. Our order was taken pretty fast and we got an amazing appetizer and drinks. I've had loaded not shows before, but I've never had loaded nachos that had kidney beans please enjoy our picture. It looks good enough to eat right from the screen That's a five star meal in itself. We left satisfied. We also had a drink, (of course alcohol) but we're over age of 21. lol

    Visited on a Friday night (10/6/23). Service was good. Music was loud but it was also music video bingo night. We were looking forward to their prime rib special but apparently they removed it from their menu. We were disappointed, but we decided to try steak fajitas instead. We are from Texas, home of Tex-Mex. DO NOT ORDER STEAK FAJITAS HERE. It does not taste good! Thinly sliced beef with no flavor for $19.99. Husband got a Mountain Margarita for $11 and it was okay. We also shared Zesty Rolls appetizers ($12.99) and they're kinda like southwestern eggrolls at Chili's. A little pricey for 3 eggrolls. We will return but definitely sticking to burger or wings next time. PSA: sit on the right side if you prefer quieter seating.

    I hate to crack in to the local hot spot but this place is great! The food is fresh and- seasoned thank god. I couldn't take another tourist trap meal spot. If you get the wings or tenders get the hot chocolate sauce. (A little warning, it's spicy) Service was really quick and everyone here is really friendly.

    Heartstopper

    The food here is AMAZING. Abundant portion sizes and all made fresh to order. The onion rings, burgers, and wings are each massive. Everyone was working well as a team to ensure great service. Large flatscreens make watching the game simple. One of the best margaritas I've had in a long time.... Bartenders know their stuff, too!

    We're visiting from out of state and found Bluffs on yelp and decided to give it a try and we were not disappointed. The prices are average in my opinion. We had a party of 8 with 5 kids from 3-15 and they all loved it! There was plenty of room for us and even a few pool tables. The food is amazing! The flavor was unique and delicious. Eat here!

They literally have every fast food and chain dining experience on one block, but I didn't know that at the time but I'm tired of road trip Food so wanted to sit down for a good meal! Pulling into the parking lot and I was overwhelmed because it was huge and very crowded! We go to the desk and they tell us 25 minutes. This place was huge and very accommodating, they were getting people to their tables fast! We noticed two empty seats at the bar, so we opted to take them and had the pleasure of being served by Robert. He was attentive, made sure our waters were always full. He gave recommendations on his favorite dishes and was all around a great bartender! The guy working the other end of the bar was equally as professional. The ambience is a dark cool vibe, little trendy but people were dressed pretty casually! Answer the most important thing...The food! For an app, we got the beer, cheese fondue that came with apples, bread and pretzels. The beer cheese had a little bit of ooomph to it, which was refreshing because usually I'm not a big mustard person. The pretzel bites were incredible crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. The apples were fresh all around the appetizer for 3 to 4 people so we took extra home. I ordered the 10 ounce sirloin cooked, medium with the web sweet potatoes and a side Caesar salad for a three dollar charge which ended up being a full-size salad! It was super fresh and gigantic for a side salad. The steak was cooked perfectly, in the middle with an insane sear. Their house, butter that they put on it truly elevated the flavor profile. I tried the sweet potatoes mashed and they were enjoyable, but I do not enjoy a sweet side with my food so I knew I was going to donate them to my husband and he said they were incredible, the flavor was definitely there just not my cup of tea, but I knew that from the beginning . He got the Caesar salad with grilled chicken! It had so much flavor and tastes incredible but yet melted in your mouth it was the most tender chicken I've ever had in my life, and the flavor was all there! Not even the slightest bit of any kind of dryness. One of the best bites of chicken I've ever had.! He ordered the bison meatloaf to go, and that comes with caramelized mashed potatoes and fried onion straws.... It smells incredible and I will update when we try it . * UPDATE: best meatloaf ever!!! Based on the quality/ experience on a very busy night- everything was phenomenal and I will return. Service 10/5 Food 5/5 Ambiance 5/5 Value 5/5

We have…read moredined at many high-end establishments, and The Appalachian does such a great job of delivering exceptional food and service without the pretentiousness that can sometimes come with it. Our chef for the evening, Derek, was a wealth of information. He could tell us where everything on our plates came from, from memory. The chefs at this restaurant are THAT attuned to the ingredients they're working with. He even described what made the wines work with the food and admitted he wasn't always a wine pairing believer, but has quickly become one. Our server, Amanda, was sweet, pleasant, and incredibly accommodating. This girl noticed me lifting my hair off my neck (those open woodfire grills add an extra level of heat to the kitchen) and brought me a hand fan FROM HER PURSE. That caused one of the kitchen team to notice and bring me an electric fan. Like I said, stellar service. Even the general manager, Dan, was involved in our service that evening. It truly felt like the entire team was paying attention and genuinely wanted us to have a wonderful experience. Would I recommend the restaurant? 100%. Would I recommend the Chef's Table experience? 1,000%. Being in the kitchen, watching the team operate like a well-oiled machine, and getting dishes that aren't on the menu (I'm looking at you, tuna tartare), made it well worth it. We will probably do it again in a different season to see how the menu changes. @serenity_now_travel_concierge

From ensuring they source fresh, seasonal ingredients to creating a welcoming atmosphere, it's obvious that everything is done with passion and attention to detail. The night we came in for dinner, we had the joy of having Mariah as our server. We had the fried chicken skins, the à la carte ribeye and sirloin, mashed potatoes, broccolini, and summer squash, and then the cobbler for dessert. The drinks were strong pours, everything was seasoned perfectly, and the service was impeccable. Another night, we came in for drinks and dessert and had the goat cheese cheesecake and Pots de Crème. If you're looking for a restaurant that's the perfect combination of great food and great vibes, this is absolutely it.

    We had an AMAZING dining experience and encourage you to experience Seasons 101 for yourself…read more We made a reservation online for a party of 4 and dined there on Sunday, Memorial Day weekend. We were greeted and seated promptly in a lovely little alcove near their patio, the perfect spot for old friends catching up. Our server, Olivia, was phenomenal, offering insight and recommendations into their seasonal menu items. We started with cocktails and appetizers. We loved the Roasted Beet Salad and Crab Bisque. Deee-licious! We then moved on to our entrees: Filet mignon (prepared Medium) w/caramelized onions & garlic mashed potatoes. The filets were seasoned and cooked perfectly - melt in your mouth, oh soooo good! Prime rib steak sandwich with caramelized onions & melt cheese. Opted for a side of grilled zucchini instead of fries. Also a big hit with our friend. I chose the night's feature dish of halibut and couscous. Nicely prepared and delicious. Though we didn't have room for dessert, once Olivia brought the dessert tray by, we quickly made room! My husband chose the Blueberry Bread Pudding. Of course I had to taste! I'm typically am not a fan of bread puddings due to being heavy and somewhat gummy! This one was absolutely light, and yummy allowing the blueberries to shine. Our friends shared the NY cheesecake with fresh strawberries. Also, light, fluffy and delicious! I chose the key lime pie with toasted coconut sprinkled on top. Incredibly good with light tartness though I prefer more tart. Still, it ranks up there as one of the best I've found. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed the cocktails, food, ambiance, decor, and our server, Olivia. Ample portions, reasonable/comparable pricing, and delicious/creative menu. Bravo, Seasons 101! Bravo!! P.S. They also have a lovely outdoor dining area, if you so desire.

The birthday girl was running a tad late (10mins) we decided to wait for her to order and sort of appetizers. I had a cucumber giblet off of the summer drinks menu. It was very refreshing and I enjoyed it, even though it's made with gin and I'm not the biggest gin fan. The table ordered a few appetizers and split amongst us all. I tried the Brussel sprouts and the fried artichoke hearts. They were both really good but wow, never had fried artichoke hearts and I LOVED those. I ordered the rack of lamb, but replaced the seasoned veggie with the wedge salad, which I had come out first. It was very delicious, but I wish it had a tad more blue cheese/ dressing on it. (It was very good, just a personal preference and the server was no where around to ask for more) I ate it how it was and it was very good. The lamb chops came with a mashed potatoes and I ordered them MR. They were so good! Juicy BUT they were not hot. We got there for a 6:15 reservation. We didn't get our food till close to 8:30. I understand having the food come out all at once, but to have dinner take 2 hours is insane. My food wasn't even hot, but I was so hungry I ate it without even saying anything. It was good but if they knew they needed everything done and something is cooked MR, maybe cook it towards the end. I ordered a 3rd drink but then everyone was done, and getting cleared, and I didn't see the server again. So I decided to go to the bar and cancel the drink myself. Over all, all the food was tasty, the service wasn't HORRIBLE, but they need stronger servers for larger parties and ones that are more attentive. The food was not hot, and we were there for 3 hours for this experience. If I ever go back. It will be alone or with one other person. There is no way I am having a dinner take 3 hours and have my food cold. I know it's standard for large parties, but gratitude was included, so make sure you are aware/ look to see on your check before you decide to leave even more.

I ordered the Fried Green Tomatoes appetizer only to have it delivered with batter so thick you could not find the tomato, and the batter had a fishy taste like the grease had also been used for frying fish. They were just not edible. When the waitress came to ask us how we enjoyed them, I told her there was too much batter and the grease tasted fishy. She didn't say a word, turned and walked away. You could tell her "How was it?" Inquiry was automatic and not a genuine concern for how the customers were enjoying the meal. It didn't get better. My grilled pork chops were tough, overcooked, and lacking any flavor. I could only eat one of the two provided. The pinto beans lacked any seasoning, but the coke slaw was good. My wife's pork chop was fried, and was better. It was cooked as it should have been. But her Mac and cheese was gummy and had an odd flavor. The cornbread was dry and not good. A friend who ate with us had Country Fried Steak. He said the steak was passable, but the gravy was disappointing. No onions at all in the gravy. This was not a good eating experience, and with the waitress's attitude, it was an almost a total flop. The sign at the entrance tells it all.
