My Bloody Mary was full of flavor and a good amount of vodka. And the burgers...OMG...the burgers are those juicy, perfectly cooked, run down your arms burgers.

Uncle John's Place is a Go To now for our family. Absolute perfection!

I had the home fries covered in shaved ribeye, hot peppers, onions, swiss and topped with a sunnyside egg. It was huge and the leftovers (plus a couple more eggs) ended up feeding us both the next night. Both mains were fairly priced. My only complaint would be the 6-8 onion rings cost $10.95. I get that it was a starter as they didn't offer a side, but there should've been more on the plate at that price. All of their sides seem expensive compared to their burgers, but I'd go again.

Service was fantastic. They were very accommodating and were able to provide my nephew with a high chair. Ambiance was very neat.

Well, look like a house, not really a building Went inside, the place is not busy, there is a bar seating, the girl in the bar is very nice, very friendly I seated, the menu has burgers, pasta, steak, typical American restaurant menu, nothing special I ordered the Fettuccine Alfredo, I know, in American restaurant? lol Well, I want some noodle, I think is $14, added grill chicken for another $6 When it come out, the portion is very small, very disappointed, even the chicken is small, very dry Overall, the food I'm giving 3 out of 10, service is great If you in the area, you should order the burger, they probably do better job

It was a lot smaller inside than we expected but it was nice. We were seated quickly but it took a bit for our server to come. We finally ordered ( nothing crazy - we all got sandwiches). Then it felt like our server just disappeared. One of the other servers heard us talking while she was servicing her table and told us that they had some event going on outside so food was taking longer to come out. No update from our own server. I had to ask ther other server for another drink. It was kind of irritating to see tables that came in after us getting their food before us. Now onto the food - it was pretty good. We all enjoyed our sandwiches. I got a reuben with fries. The rye bread on my reuben was nice - crispy crust yet soft. Very good ratio of meat to saukraut. The fries were eh. Very limp with no crispy at all. I've honestly gotten better fries off a food truck. They look crispy in the photo but they were not. So overall- drink was good, sandwich was delicious but fries were not and service was not good at all.

The restaurant is well appointed but not over the top. Just the right amount of chic. Originally seated in a booth, we ask to move to an open table as the seating in the booths are way too low. After changing places, Nick arrived to ask us if we would like to start some beverages. We had noticed that H&E advertising a locals special starting on Sundays with 50% off beer, wine, cocktails, Raw, First, and Second courses! What a great deal! We opened with cocktails and wine. Alec did a great job on our cocktails, definitely delicious! We also decided on Baked Brie to open. The Brie arrived fairly quickly, though not with enough toast pieces, it was very yummy. For our main courses I ordered their Caesar Salad adding blackened salmon, my wife their Sunday Supper Hot Brown special, mom their house salad adding blackened salmon, while our friend decided on the Steak Frites. I also ordered a half dozen oysters. My oysters and my wife's accompanying salad arrived promptly. Unfortunately, there was no oyster fork but a was asked if I wanted horseradish! The oysters and horseradish were terrific. Our main courses arrived perfectly presented and absolutely delicious! No complaints whatsoever! We had a lovely evening! This seating we were not asked to keep any utensils! Again, easily the best restaurant in the Mansfield area, almost on par with The Capital Grille. Just a tweak or two away.

This dish was the saltiest dish I have ever had, even grossly prepared popcorn doesn't hold a light to it. The fries were only good when I was attempting to eat the burger, but upon stopping they too gave up the disguise. Not good. The chocolate shake was the most disappointing. Didnt know chocolate tasted like this. This was a pickup order, but given there was a fella staring at me through the window with murder eyes from a booth as I walked in, im glad I didn't stick around. Perhaps he was trying to warn me to stay away. Instead of that stare I will simply warn everyone here with a cautionary tale. Do not order from here. I certainly hope Dennys makes a better breakfast than they do a burger. Open 24 hours is not enough to justify this meal, I should have gone hungry, and you should too.

My home TR is Ashland, Ky with Marysville, Oh and Polaris, Oh, closely behind. This time it worked out better to try the Mansfield location and it did not disappoint. It was absolutely packed when we got there at 11:45am. They told us it could be a 20+ minute wait but actually seated us and the entire waiting area within 5-7 minutes. We could hear the great country music and enjoy the birthday singing but still hear each other talking because the noise level was kept in check. We ordered an appetizer and it arrived within a few minutes of our drinks. The rest of the meal came out just as we finished each serving. All of our steaks were delicious and cooked to perfection. The waitress had a table of 12 and a table of 8 in our area by herself, yet she made our table of 5 seem like the only table she had. She did that with the other tables too. I would definitely make a point to stop in Texas Roadhouse if you are in the mood for a delicious steak. The time before this that we we fees there, my husband got the salmon and it was delicious, too. If you like fish, this is also a great place for salmon.

He ordered the country fried chicken entree with green beans and mashed potatoes. He was served the country fried steak. Our waitress was very kind and apologized. She returned it and came back to let us know when she was returning his meal another waitress was returning a country fried steak, so apparently the meals were mixed up. I ordered the tbone steak medium rare. It was served medium well to well done. Most of the steak had no pink at all. It was dry and tough. When the waitress returned to let my husband know about the mixup, I showed her my steak. She apologized and took it back. After nearly 20 mins, my steak was brought out. It was not a pleasant dining experience. We were eating our meal in shifts. Sides and then later brought our protein. By the time our proteins arrived, we were out of time and needed to leave. We did not come with the intension of take out, but that is what we ended up with. This is not an enjoyable way to eat. The manager never came to apologize or explain the mixups or check on our experience. This was a very disappointing experience.
