"WE made reservations and when we got there, they couldn't find the reservation so our table for ten was not ready. Then they tried to put ten people in a corner with one long booth against the wall and chairs on the other side, so that if anyone sitting in the booth needed to get up for any reason, everyone would have to scoot out and shuffle around. They seemed annoyed that I pointed this out and said I'd prefer not to sit there. The food was mediocre at best and I ordered the chicken fried steak which was, quite literally, horrible. Absolutely awful. The meat had been marinated in what tasted like malt vinegar. Now, where I grew up, chicken fried steak is a staple. It is NOT made with vinegar. Vinegar is disgusting with cream gravy. It was, by far, the worst I have ever tasted. My husband had steak, which was cooked like he ordered, but just mediocre. It just wasn't anything great. No one found their food to be good, just passable. We were trying to have a decent dinner out before graduation, now I know why no one else was there. We'd never been there and I looked at reviews that seemed good. It did not live up to the reviews I read and think someone needs to share some honesty. My son said his burger was okay. My son said his burger was okay and the onion rings were decent. That's the best review we can give. Thankfully the company was good and good natured. We left a good tip but we won't go back."
