Food is always hot, you get great portion sizes, and they will keep your chips & salsa refilled at all times. When getting takeout, they tell you it typically takes 20 minutes.

She was very careful in the instructions and asked lots of questions which required our server to get further help. Hubby and I ordered the El Torito Enchilada dinner for 2, our daughter rice and beans with veggies, and our son ordered another dish. Our enchiladas came with queso chips and we all ordered drinks. Unfortunately, I found the enchilada meat seasoned too hot to eat; hubby ate one. Our daughter determined her meal was not to her specifications, none of us wanted doggy bags. The drinks were good, but three of the four of us experienced stomach upset that night. Prices were moderate but didn't look or taste like homemade.

Best pork chop of my life. Amazing mashed potatoes. The pickle fries? We ordered a second round of them; they were so good. The Italian lemonade (alcohol) was fantastic. Service was amazing. Half price apps when we came in. And prices of the food overall? Yall are getting Olive Garden prices for some of the best food you may ever have. I've had mashed potatoes at all the chain steak houses. I've had French fries everywhere. I've eaten at fairly fancy ritzy places in Vegas, NYC, San Francisco, San Antonio, Boston. All over. And literally this is some of the best food I've ever had. TRY THE PORK CHOPS. And we also appreciate being treated nicely even though my friend group was dressed up or goth girls night lol. We looked out of place but felt at home and left very very happy ladies.

One of the oddest cheeseburgers I can recall ever ordering. While I admire the chef's /…read morerestaurant's enthusiasm to do something exotic, here, it didn't work. It's about execution. The meat was quite odd, both in consistency and taste. If I had to guess, they took reject pieces from their steaks and ground them up, perhaps several days ago? You couldn't cut through it with a fork. It had a strange taste to it. It wasn't at a warm or hot temperature and tasted stale. The onions that they added were delicious, but way too minuscule in size and bulk to have any taste impact. The bun was ordinary, despite their raving and reliance on its quality, and it being a Kaiser roll. The burger lacked customary garnish. Why I order cheeseburgers at high end establishments? In part? I like the quality thick beefsteak tomato slice and crisp, fresh lettuce. Here? No garnish at all, just a patty with a little cheese and onion. If the patty was fresh black angus and juicy, without the weird consistency and taste present here, and had they lavished it with mountains of similar onion and more cheese? --The risky and odd approach to making a cheeseburger might have proven successful. For this cheese to suffice, it, too, would have needed to be more pungent in taste, and abundant in presence. You could barely taste it. The mashed potatoes were quite good but way too salty. I literally crunched down on some salt crystals. That's when you know there's inordinate salt. Weird service and rock hard chairs made this bizarre stop on the way to St. Louis/ Denver more painful to savor. What irritates me was that I had to order a Caesar salad just to obtain roughage. And when you take the $30 for the salad and burger combined into account? That's a lot for such an odd experience. In summary, anyone who watches and implements the Gordon Ramsay Fword cheeseburger recipe on YouTube will end up with a vastly superior cheeseburger. In this town, while I am visiting only, from what I've read and seen in reviews, I'd recommend instead the frosty mug for basic food along these lines. A $24 burger better be pretty darned special to attract this sort of tab. This was just weird, not great. Sorry, no photos.

We ordered several sandwiches to pick up for dinner and the restaurant called a few minutes later to let us know they were out of the particular kind of meat we ordered and asked us if there was anything else we would like. When we got there to pick up the order, the lady told us the sandwiches were on the house and refused to take our money. Thank you for your hospitality and generosity Deep South!! The food was delicious!! I highly recommend this restaurant. You will not be disappointed.

Our corn nuggets were raw in the middle, fries were cold and I'm pretty sure I pee hotter than our fish was.
