Enjoyed a meal outside here a few years back and raved about this place to my family so when we drove an hour to get here and discovered we had to sit inside only ...it was a bit disappointing.
We had expected to enjoy a great dinner under the stars on a warm April night surrounded by a fire and cowboys singing tunes. Apparently the grill outside had to be certified before it could be used so it was inside only for us. This would have been great to know when we checked the website for details.
My parents (60's) had a hard time seeing under the dimly lit light but when our server lit the hurricane lamp on our table, that made it a bit easier for them to see. Our server was helpful and friendly.
We all ordered drinks and appetizers. The onions rings were killer and I enjoyed a Prickly Pear Margarita which was on the small side for $8 but it was really good so all was ok.
The boys ordered ribs (best ever according to our son) and my mom's black and blue salad was the side of her head and came out in this huge saucer like bowl. It was fresh, packed full of flavor and so large she didn't stand a chance in finishing it.
I was eager to order a Filet Mignon and as always ordered it Medium. Sadly it came out mooing and VERY red so I sent it back asking for it to be cooked medium well. Again, it came back red so I threw in the towel and our server took it off our bill apologizing for the error.
I was thankful for the side salad, appetizers and corn/potato combo I enjoyed while my steak was cooking for the second time.
Despite these minor snafu's, overall it was a great experience. You could spend hours looking at all the pictures, artifacts from the olden days and just enjoying yourself here. Apparently Saturday nights also offer line dancing so if you're inclined, I say go for it!
