I placed an order to go so that I could take dinner to a friend who is at Brooks rehab. We both…read moreordered a steak dinner, which I will say was much higher priced than what I anticipated. The rice and beans were average, having wished that the black beans had more of a rich flavor than what it actually did. The steak itself was extremely tough like shoe leather, but had good flavor. The size of the side salad was actually a joke. It was so small so minuscule that I was quite surprised at what little there was. Given the price I really had much higher expectations than what was delivered. I am not sure that I would return because I really had high hopes so this was disappointing - extremely minuscule side salad portion, the steak being like shoe leather, and a black beans, not having much flavor.
