    Steak so cold the butter wouldn't melt

    I've been excited to eat here for over a year, as so many people told me how great this place was. Tonight the husband finally took me on a date here and I was beyond disappointed! If you like a restaurant with a loud bar vibe, overpriced, underwhelming food, this is the place for you! Our appetizers were over cooked and inedible, the $48 steak was so thin and over seasoned it all but gagged me. I'll never be back and I'll never recommend this place to anyone!

    6oz steak with baked potato and French onion soup.

    Great service and amazing food. The meat was cooked just right to the temperature. Would love to return.

    Dinner salad with blue cheese crumbles and French dressing. AND PICKLED OCRA!!!!

    Food was fabulous! Everything I had was Delicious. Had the NY Strip, done MR, cooked to perfection! the dinner salad had pickled in it and was very fresh and crisp. The French onion soup was delicious and the cream brûlée was to die for. The wait staff were super nice and I had the opportunity to visit with the owners. Such a delight! I would highly recommend. The ambience is comfortable and relaxing. I had a truly delightful experience.

    I ordered the Baby Steaks and it was the most tender steak I have ever had. It comes with soup which I had the French Onion and it was phenomenal. I passed on the salad only because I knew I couldn't eat it all. The baked potato was cooked to perfection. I will most certainly be back

    We came across this place randomly because we stayed in Newport on the way to Knoxville. What a surprise. Lots of regulars. The owner was very friendly and shared the history of the place being a former gas station and run by his father and now him. Page the waitress was "on it" and very friendly too. The food was great (steaks!). We could tell it was a local favorite and wanted to share.

    Foodies. After our fiasco in Memphis it was SO wonderful to have great service and food delivered quickly. We ordered steak. The steak dinner comes with salad, soup, side of Tatar, your choice, AND a slice of cheesecake. I got the ribeye, medium rare with hand cut fries. Oh my gosh. DELISH. The steak was charred perfectly and juicy! The fries were phenomenal. Seriously. Our server , Callie, was darling and our table was visited by the manager and another server. The cheesecake delivered. Yum. The back road to this restaurant is worth the back road drive! Open Wednesday thru Saturday night. 4:30-9:00pm.

    A local stable. There is a reason this business has been around for 40+ years. You won't find a better red meat meal around.

For the appetizer I had the Double Dipper. The spinach dip lacked any flavor and the pimento cheese was ok. The bread points were just drowned in butter. The cucumbers were slimy and thinly sliced. Also it came with celery which I don't eat at all. The menu said fresh vegetables. I should have asked. My fault there. I got the French Broad Burger which was pretty good considering. Sweet potato fries were good too. The service was amazing! Everyone was so friendly!!! Went early on Saturday evening and unlike before it was slow but with the amount that was there it was a great little chatter time! I love the view of Main Street and the charming little mason jar lights.

They're still working on getting their alcohol license so there was no beer to drink, sadly but the food made up for the loss of it. My wife ordered the fried mushrooms which she didn't like but I thought they were good with a slight crunch and then creamy insides with an earthy flavor. We split the brisket sliders withe sweet potato fries and the brisket had a good flavor to it but I recommend getting their house BBQ sauce that was sweet with a fruity flavor but also made with veggies like carrots. It was excellent and I brought some home. What a great find for our outing here.

The menu features steaks, chops, seafood, and appetizers like potato skins and cowboy bites, with many entrees served with soup, salad, and a side.

We were seated in the very back of the restaurant, so it was very hard to see on the other side of the wall! The first bad thing we had happened my son asked for coffee and they gave him cream that expired several months prior that curdled as he poured into his coffee. We even showed the waitress the expiration date. We had to wait a long time for even our appetizer and salads to even come out . We waited a long time for food to come out even our salads didn't come out but right before our meal. We had one meal that was undercooked which was the hamburger steak where it was very raw in the middle after asking it for medium well. We had one person's food that didn't even come out with the rest of the meals while everyone else was eating she had to wait. In total we were there almost a total of 2 1/2 hours in total for dinner Which was ridiculous !!! I have ate at a lot of restaurants, but this is one I will not go back to, and I have ate their previously during the day also ordering takeout but not again The interior in the restaurant is outstanding, and the design is beautiful but The outside does look a little rough. Would not recommend this restaurant
