I really wanted to be able to give the Stockyards a higher rating. It was satisfactory, and I might go back, but I wasn't knocked out, sadly. Perhaps it was just my dish, or an off night.
The prime rib was a little tasteless and not very tender. The whiskey mashed sweet potatoes were great (and I absolutely plan to try to duplicate them at home) although they needed seasoning. Shrimp cocktail was impressive and yummy, salad course was excellent. I just was not very impressed with that prime rib. If I ever go back, I will try a steak instead.
