FOOD: We attempted to order two appetizers and were told they were both out and we had to settle for a shrimp appetizer that was OK. The Prairie Salad was not particularly good. The choices within the salad did not seem to mesh. The only good part of dinner was the steak. It was cooked correctly, and it was the right temperature. The grilled asparagus was good but could have used a few more pieces. Overall, the food was a five out of ten. SERVICE: This is where the review starts. I gave this restaurant that lowest review based on the service of this restaurant. My wife and I dined Friday night, Oct. 2024,2024 at around 600pm. We finished our dinner, paid our check, and left. On the drive home (we live about 15 minutes from the restaurant) I realized I had left my visor on an empty chair at our table. We called the restaurant and spoked to the hostess who went and found my visor and said we can come pick it up tomorrow (Oct. 26) when the restaurant opens at 10am. Fast forward to Saturday morning, Oct. 26 and when I dropped by to pick up my visor; no one seemed to know anything about my lost visor. The morning host was very apologetic and could not locate my lost visor. The day manager did not seem to care about helping me find my lost visor. The day bartender recommended that I call in the afternoon when the nighttime hostess return to help locate my visor. I called around 530pm and did get a hold of the evening hostess who remembered me and my visor from the previous night. They claimed they were busy and that they would call me back when they had located my visor. I am writing this review Tuesday night Oct. 29, and I am still waiting for a return phone call. The lost visor, it had sentimental value. Overall, a zero out of ten for customer service. My wife and I will never return to this restaurant, and it is based on poor customer service and poor management. If I ever get a return phone call, I will update my review.

Made my reservation and they confirmed it. However they were not open. If you are going to use an app for people to book. Close off the days you’re not open. Drove all the way down with my team and had to find a new place. Completely disappointed

Not what we expected, based on the reviews. Drinks were good, Chicken sandwhich was good, french fries were a bit greasy. Noise was way too loud. This is primarily a bar. We were looking for a nice restaurant.
