This one was very good, really glad we checked it out. Arrived early on a Thursday, so was pretty quiet. Very friendly staff taking our beverage and then food orders. Relatively humble full bar with bottled domestic brews. Ambience is neat - is a real former 1800s boarding house. It's small with a couple also smaller dining rooms. As others mentioned, it's cozy and you will likely end up talking to a neighboring table. Isn't that to be expected? Part of the true experience! After sitting, standard salad bar with very fresh ingredients. Didn't try the soup, but smelled good. Real star was the main dish. Didn't go for seafood, but combined we had two tenderloins, prime rib and some kids meals. The steaks and prime rib were exceptionally good. Well seasoned and cooked perfectly to temperature, the steaks with a nice char. Companions had baked potatoes and hash browns, which they both enjoyed. I went for fries, which were very crispy and well down but thin. With all of the great juice out of the steak, steak fries would really have hit to spot to soak that up. Had a good time, definitely on the list of places to revisit.

They have a gigantic one (see my picture) I think it's like 1.8 lbs of meat!! I didn't order that, but a couple of guys sitting by us did. (They split it) It was crazy big, but actually looked cooked well and everything on it looked fresh and tasty. They said it was good. I did however, order a (regular) sized "build your own" burger and a side of onion rings. I liked my burger a lot. Definitely worth coming back for. Onion rings were also pretty good. My wife ordered the fish and chips basket. This meal was very average. Pretty much, your basic frozen battered fish, deep fried and served with okay French Fries. Burger was great, fish basket not so much. Would recommend stopping in for drinks and a burger. Skip the fish. (But maybe they serve different fish for their Friday Fish Fry)

The drink selection was good they had three Oktoberfest options which we all tried and liked. I would stop in again.

I had seen positive things about this restaurant on Facebook, going in my expectations were high. The end result was expectations not being met. I phoned ahead and was able to make a reservation. When my group pulled into the parking lot at 5PM, it wasn't full. This is generally not a good sign for a Saturday night. When we entered, it looked old school (big bar, televisions and a pool table). I generally see this as a positive indicator. The drinks we received were well made and the bartender was a nice guy. He gave us menus and we were waited on in the bar area. Both waitresses we were served by were very neutral in having us as guests. No extra chit chat. After ordering, we were directed to our table and were told we could go to the salad bar. I was looking forward to the salad bar as other social media raved about it. It was nice and all the items were fresh; however, it wasn't very big. The soup, available on the salad bar, was very good. The homemade dinner rolls were also good. The main meal is where things went backwards. One dining partner had a scallops and ribeye combo. When it was delivered to the table, the scallops looked pathetically small and the steak looked paper thin. Unfortunately, my impression of it being bad was what my dining partner experienced. They described the scallops of having a fish stick taste. They were disappointed in the meal. Another dining partner had the beef tip special. It was well prepared and was quite a large portion. It was an enjoyable meal. As luck would have it, myself and another dining partner both ordered the Triple O ribeye, a 16 oz cut covered with mushrooms, onions and peppers. We each ordered the garlic mashed potatoes. When it was delivered to our table it looked good. Sadly, while tasting good the potatoes weren't very warm. Having to move the topping to find the steak, I found my first piece a little difficult to cut, but prepared to order. After a few bites and after the final waitress appearance, I told my dining partner that I did not think my steak was a ribeye. They said they were thinking the same thing. Although generous in size, it appeared to be sirloin steak and while well-prepared, lacking flavor. Having eaten a good chunk, I decided not to make an issue but found the steak disappointing. If you look at my other reviews, I think you find them to be pretty generous. After contemplating this for a couple of days, I'd say people may want to try another restaurant when looking for a quality supper club experience.
