| - Only reason I didn't give this a perfect 5 star rating was that a 2 or 3 of the meats were more on the overdone and dry side, and I'm more of a rare lover. But MOST of them were VERY tender and juicy! I enjoyed it very much :) Gave me the dam meat sweats !
They had a lot of meat variety, which was very exciting.
A lot of them were quite flavorful, so it was quite enjoyable to try each different one. I'm happy that they kept slicing thinly, because I wanted to try everything, and was getting quite full. So hard to say no to meat lol
I've been to their other location not far away, and it was mostly dry except for one item, so this place was much better, and others at my table discussed that the one in the west island that they've been to also had dry meat too, and that it was better here.
Mushrooms ok but no punch
Sweet potatoes good
Red beats interesting to see and nice
Rice bland :(
Salad fresh but mostly "leaves"
"Ranch?" dressing tasted homemade :)
"Spicy" sauce on the side for meats gets a flat ZERO. It had zero flavor and was not spicy at all. However, one waitress apologized and was nice enough to give us a new mini tobasco bottle... we finished the whole bottle! and, it still wasn't spicy enough per each bite lol not a fan of tobasco, but it's better than nothing when you want spicy.
Their cinamon roasted pinapple was out of this world :)
Their service was really great too.
They were always around to make sure our waters were full and that our side dishes were refreshed. Super friendly, and I was so happy that they seemed to have no problem putting up with one of our more difficult companions, like that was finess. They were also very helpful with details, and if they didn't know something, they would come back with the answers and always check up on us.
The all you can eat option was great, though they also offered a separate saumon or cornish hen option, which made me feel awkward because one person with us opted for it, yet they couldn't resist asking us for pieces of our AYCE meats. The waiters were very nice to look the other way about it, so that was a relief.
Our companion who opted for the cornish hen... their dish was huge! She liked it a lot, though it really felt out of place with the rest of our ayce. Their AYCE pasta/pizza option sounded interesting on their 2nd level, and was cheaper, but, pft, come on, like i'm going to turn down meat lol
I thought it was more expensive on the weekends because of their dancers, but we arrived too early, and their dancers only come later at night... so I can't say I'm too happy about paying 10$ extra for a show I didn't see. Had we known, we would have made our reservations for later.
The male waiters were surprizingly hawt and cute, and not awkwardly friendly, acted very normal and comfortable. The less good looking ones were a nice eye palete cleanser and helped remind me that this place was real and not a strip club, and they were very pleasant to come either way, since they all kept that proffessional yet comfortable ambiance.
I like the uniforms. Looks comfortable and not awkwardly sexy or bland/formal like most restaurants. When the workers are dressed comfortably, then I can eat comfortably. The soccer theme is kinda cool.
I suggest they invest in better hot sauce (obviously)
and eventhough I can tell they coat their meats with fats often while cooking them, we can tell that they put the heat too high to cook the outside of the meat fast, serve only the outside, then bring the inner part back to cook all the way through. This is why their meat goes dry no matter how much fat they paint on while cooking. Would be better to cut the meat chunks thinner to cook the whole thing evenly on a lower heat for longer and do it more often with prep. They know how much they need on an average night. Not a fan of this corner cutting tactic, as I'm sure their other locations are doing it and can tell it's not the best method. Eventhough I found the meat at this location to be the least dry, everything was still more on the well done side, and it's not like they initially ask you how you like your meat before serving.
Ditch the cornish hen and saumon option. Eventhough it's 10$ cheaper than the AYCE meats, it feels very awkward for the rest of the table to eat with that 1 obnoxious person among us who orders it. There's already chicken included in the ayce meats and the side dishes are the exact same anyways, so ditch the cheaper non ayce options, and can replace it with fish of the day (for same price as ayce so we don't have to sneak them the tempting meats and they can indulge with us) and just lay the fish out nicely on the table for us to help ourselves while we wait for our meats.
The side dishes are useful as pallet cleansers only. I'd rather cleanse my pallet with raw celery/carrot/cucumber sticks. Potatoes and beets can stay, but the rest can go. White potatos would have been great because they absorb meat juices better than sweet potatoes.
