My husband and I met another couple here on a Saturday and had reservations, so we were seated…read moreright away. Unfortunately, the experience quickly went downhill. My husband has a severe egg allergy, and when we informed our server, he stated that he did not know how to accommodate it. I was surprised, as egg allergies are fairly common. He even joked that he only knew about gluten. He eventually checked on one menu item and returned to tell us it contained egg, but offered no alternative suggestions or guidance. He then said he was too busy and would have someone else assist us. When another staff member came to the table, it was clear she had not been informed of the situation, as she asked how she could help and was equally unsure how to accommodate the allergy. As a result, my husband was unable to eat at all while the rest of us had dinner. It was very disappointing and concerning that such a significant allergy was not taken seriously by multiple staff members. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone with food allergies. Despite appearing to be an upscale establishment, the lack of knowledge, communication, and willingness to verify ingredients made it clear that we were not a priority. We were left with the impression that they were simply too busy to handle allergy concerns safely.

Our room was small and cozy and we had the room to ourselves until the restaurant got busy. We both ordered the 8 oz sirloin with the garlic mashed potatoes and grilled asparagus. Steak was tasty and grilled to order. The potatoes were chunky, rustic and garlicky. I ended up eating all of them against my better judgement. They were so good. Only downside was a pesky fly that would not go away and kept landing on our food. But not really the restaurant's fault!

The atmosphere here is hodgepodge meets rustic. It feels like multiple ideas were slammed together…read more In the end though it works. Just an FYI the entrance is in the back. I ended up ordering the Roadhouse Burger ($15). This is a 1/2lb black angus burger with chopped bacon, sautéed bourbon onions, haystack onions, garlic herb cheese spread and BBQ sauce on a pretzel bun. The Burger was okay. I really liked all the toppings. My 2 issues were the burger wasn't very juicy, plus meat quality was also only okay. The other was the bun was a little dry, maybe stale. I've had so many better burgers, it wasn't technically bad, just very ehhh. I also upgraded to asparagus ($2.5) as my side. They were cooked properly and tasted very good. A sauce or something would take them to another level. The person I was with ordered the Cajun Bleu Cheese Burger ($15). This is a Cajun seasoned 1/2lb black angus burger served with bacon, mushrooms, and crumbled bleu cheese served on a Kaiser roll. This person actually really enjoyed her Burger. Hers was cooked medium rare while mine was medium, plus different buns, so maybe that made a difference. They were short staffed with only one waitress covering. So she was a little frazzled. However she did a good job and was still friendly in the process. The other issue with this business I had was their website and actual are not the same. The websites menu states on Saturday it's brunch till 3pm them dinner menu at 3pm. We cane at 3pm, because I wanted the pot roast. Nope we are told it's Lunch menu only. If I had known that I probably wouldn't have come here Overall I'll give a 3 star review. It's not a bad place, just not anywhere near my favorite. Would I return? Probably not. If someone else really wanted to go here, then yes otherwise I don't see myself returning.

We normally get their two meat, two sides plate and that's usually enough food for two. Every entree I've tried has been delicious, but my favorites are the meatloaf and the fried chicken.

It isn't the kind of place that does food quickly, so make sure you have time to sit and stay awhile even when picking up an order to go, but it is well worth the wait. The interior is lovely and the staff are very kind. Overall, a great spot for a Sunday lunch or dinner.

Upon entry we were greeted by friendly staff and given a menu to review while we waited for our table. After being seated we were able to order drinks and food quickly! Everything came out in a timely manner. We also got a free dessert for our anniversary which was such a wonderful touch! The dining space is a little small which made it difficult to converse at some points but this was truly the only downside. We can't wait to return to this spot for another delicious dinner! Food: -Calamari: beautifully seasoned and breaded. Great portion size with amazing flavor! -Chicken Scallopini: Creamy lemon goodness! Rich flavor with perfectly cooked chicken. The angel hair pasta did get a little soggy underneath the chicken- maybe swap it would for an alternative noodle?
