    This is the most Florida-est 80's steakhouse I've ever been to! Once you get past the initial smell of smoke, you'll realize why this hidden gem has been around for so long. This place is a no frills, divey, old school, and also very local steak house. The decor is a mix of wood panel and mounted deer! The steaks is where this place shines! I ordered the surf and turf, opted for the grilled shrimp. The strip was perfectly seasoned with a great charr to it. The accompanying shrimp looked a bit small, but it packed great smoky grill flavor. I opted for the salad and was pleasantly surprised that they make the Italian vinaigrette and another creamy peppercorn sauce in house. Both were delicious. I recommend getting the buckskins (crispy skin potato wedges) as your side and dip it in the cream sauce. Wife enjoyed her ribeye and kiddos had a great chicken tender meal. You also get a small applesauce, which idk if that is a Florida thing or like a 80s thing. But it was a nice little palate cleanser. The bread was forgettable. Our waitress was sweet and introduced us to the menu. Food came out promptly and refills were good. They have a full bar and a limited beer and wine menu. I would usually get a cab or a dirty martini with my steak dinner but was happily content with the pitcher of beer. Overall, if you are in the area and want to support a great local business and avoid another chain, opt to try Cattle Ranch. Just manage your expectations and you'll have a great experience. Honestly this would've been a 5 star if they could just get rid of smoke smell and tidied up the place a little bit.

    make sure you take a photo of your bomb cooked steaks so you don't have to post a lame stock photo like this!

    For stepping off the plane and being hungry for real food, this place takes the prize. Excellently cooked steaks, solid low carbohydrate sides, a full bar, and very pleasant and welcoming staff. If you're passing through and don't want to suffer a fast food drive thru or gas station munchies - I highly recommend filling your food tank here. Quaint old Florida decor and clean. Sorry no pic!

    Food was really good. I had the filet and was delicious. Came with a salad and fresh bread. Ambiance was like an old 80's restaurant but enjoyed going with a large work group. Waitress was really nice and did a good job. Overall recommend as the food was really good!!

    Went with the porterhouse and wow, it was huge. Definitely enough for two people or one hungry person like me. It had a nice crust and tons of flavor. Loved dipping each bite in the jus they served on the side. Sides were okay, but honestly I barely touched them because I was focused on the steak. The lighting was a bit dim for my liking but it was cozy. Friendly staff and quick service too.

    Tried the filet mignon and it basically melted in my mouth. It was tender, juicy, and had a buttery finish that I loved. The mashed potatoes were creamy and made a great pairing. Restaurant was dimly lit and cozy, perfect for dinner. Staff was polite and kept our water filled, which I appreciate. A little pricey but honestly worth it for the quality. Would recommend for date night or when you're craving something special.

    Their filet mignon was soft and buttery, paired perfectly with garlic mashed potatoes. The waiter was attentive, but it took a while to get my drink refill. Cleanliness was great, with neatly arranged tables.

    What a great find on our road trip. The steaks were delicious better than those fancy steakhouse steaks with the fancy steakhouse prices. The service was superb. We arrived at 4:50p and there was already a line outside of people waiting to get in (restaurant opens at 5). We got sat right away. Don't let the outside or inside decor deter you. It has nothing to do with how great the food, service, and value of this place is. The inside is very outdated but very clean and that's all that matters.

    Lovely Easter Brunch on the Patio…read more We came here for Easter brunch and had a really nice experience. I called about 45 minutes before arriving just to see if there was any chance we could get a table. They mentioned they were only taking reservations that day but were kind enough to squeeze us in for 1:30, which worked out perfectly. Raven was our waitress and she was wonderful. Super welcoming, friendly, and attentive the whole time without ever feeling overbearing. My husband and I shared a Caesar salad and the steak and eggs, and of course we had to order mimosas (two each... because brunch ). Everything came out fresh and tasty. One small personal preference, and this might just be me, but I would have liked the Caesar salad lettuce to be chopped a bit smaller instead of the larger pieces. Not a deal breaker at all, just something I noticed. The steak was cooked well. I wouldn't say it was the best steak I've ever had, but it was definitely good. What really stole the show for me was the chimichurri sauce. I could honestly eat that by itself with the potatoes, it was that good. We sat on the patio and were a little worried it might be too hot, but it was nicely shaded and they have fans going, so it was actually very comfortable. The only time we got a little warm was after our second mimosa... but that might be on us Overall, it was a great experience and we'll definitely be back.

The service was good, and we were in and out. Granted, we sat at the bar and got one drink each before the dinner rush was in. The only reason I'm giving it 4 instead of 5 stars is due to the small portion sizes. The drinks were quite expensive for how little beverage was to be had in the little glasses. Ik restaurants like to say it's all the same, but definitely felt like they priced us out of buying another drink due to the small serving. Onto the drinks, I really enjoyed the Crush Crush. I'm a big cosmo girly and this was spectacular for being used to tasting the vodka in a martini drink. I was very happy with the flavor and enjoyment I got from it. My boyfriend got the margarita and he enjoyed it, but also was a bit disappointed with the portion. I still recommend this restaurant if you're wanting to have a swanky cocktail outing, but maybe have a few other places lined up and don't depend on spending your day/night here. The food looks great too. I will be bringing an office event here to try the food next.

All steaks are now on market price and prices are on a tacky TV in the front of the restaurant. I'd recommend a print out with the menus if they must have market price for every steak. I ordered the prime rib melt, the French dip. It was okay, the bread was awful. Clearly not fresh French bread rather a sub roll that tasted like sandwich bread. Also, uncharged for sweet potato fries which is fine but $4 is insane! Especially when the menu said $1.99 for premium sides. Side salad wasn't freshly cut lettuce but lettuce mix that I could get from a grocery store. It seems that they're trying to be high end with pricing but experience isn't showing it. Also, ceiling fans look old and could be an easy upgrade for the restaurant. Only good thing was Kay Kay, our server. She was attentive, and super sweet.
