| - I had Christmas Eve dinner here with my parents. I'm not a huge fan of chains, but that's where my dad wanted to go.
Both of my parents ordered the soup of the day which was lobster bisque. I tried a bite and it was decent, kind of rich. 3/5
My dad ordered a full rack of baby back ribs. They were very, very tender and good. I wasn't in the mood for ribs, but after I tried his I wished I'd ordered the ribs. 4/5
For sides my dad had cole slaw (fine 3/5) and ranch beans (kinda sweet, okay 2.5/5).
I had the salmon and shrimp picatta. It okay, but I wouldn't order it again. I didn't care for how the salmon was prepared and the sauce wasn't very flavorful. 2/5
For sides I had rice pilaf (good, nothing special 3/5) and creamed spinach (would not order again, didn't taste good and a major disappointment since it was listed as a "premium side" 1/5).
My mom ordered the fillet medallions with bleu cheese and wild mushroom topping. They were fine but certainly nothing to get excited about. 2/5
She had the loaded mashed potatoes. They were pretty good and were the best of the sides that we tried. 3.5/5
The service was not great (2/5). The waitress was overly chatty and seemed kind of flustered or something. Also, she kept fanning herself when she took our order and told us she was having hot flashes, which I didn't really need to know.
Overall, 2.5/5. The only thing that was really good was the ribs. Of course, that's what they're known for. Definitely recommend getting the ribs if you go here. Everything else, meh.
