If you like steak, I highly recommend the Unlimited Ribeye deal for $49 on Sundays and Mondays. You get unlimited salad, steak, and fries served family style. The salad was just OK. The fries are excellent - cooked in peanut oil with some of the skins left on and plenty of salt. Delicious. And the ribeye - it was cooked to medium rare perfection as we requested, and very flavorful. It comes pre-sliced as it's family style. I'm not a fan of their house steak sauce which is on the sweet side for me, but my husband loved it. This is a popular deal, so I recommend making a reservation. I pre paid on OpenTable and would do it again. The service is good, but it can be slow as it gets very busy. This will now be a regular thing for us. Excellent value. If you reorder steak even once it's well worth it.

Solid destination for Brunch with quick service and large portion sizes. Cocktails are well made and arrive quickly with a lot containing tequila if that’s your thing! Our drinks were served in plastic glasses/tumblers which for us was the difference in 4 or 5 stars. Overall, I’d definitely recommend and plan to go back.
