| - This is my favorite steakhouse. I know it's a chain, but it's just so fun and the food is always plentiful and delicious.
I always have to start off with fried pickle chips; they are tangy and the batter is light enough to not be overpowering. I usually substitute the homemade ranch dressing in place of the blossom sauce, which is also good, but I think it's too much flavor for the small pickle chips.
My SO got a half rack of ribs with a Caesar salad and a loaded baked potato. By the time the food came out, he was almost stuffed from the rolls and salad! The Caesar salad is definitely his favorite. He isn't a huge fan of dryer ribs, he likes them to be coated and sticky in BBQ sauce, but these fall off the bone unlike some other dry ribs which can be tough. Also, he gets a side of the BBQ sauce to dip the ribs in.
I got a combo of chicken fingers and a half rack of ribs, with a side house salad and a cup of chili, and I too was almost full by the time the meal came out. The house salad is always delicious and very cold with chopped iceberg lettuce, diced tomatoes, diced eggs, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped bacon, and some homemade croutons on top. The house ranch dressing is so incredibly good and I cannot help myself to just pour the whole cup on top right when it comes out, even if I don't need it all. :D
The chili was absolutely underwhelming and quite gross. It looked and smelled good, and was topped with shredded cheese and onions, but it tasted a week old and out of a can. I took one bite and pushed it far away from me and quickly asked the waiter to take it. I double checked the menu and it does say they make it homemade, but it does not taste like it is. It tasted like Hormel canned chili and I will not ever get it again! Yuck.
The chicken fingers were very unique- they were definitely hand breaded and fried; the batter was soft and not crunchy at all, but they were very good in a home style way. They would be really good dipped in gravy. Again the ribs are the dry smoked kind but they fall off the bone and I like to drizzle a bit of steak sauce on top.
There is absolutely never a time when you can get dessert, just face it. The good thing is I am not a dessert person, so that doesn't affect me. However, you need to be very hungry and in some type of expandable waistband pants to even set foot in here. Haha I'm not kidding! It is an awesome choice for a birthday, a date night, or a night out with friends! Also, a side note, a manager almost always stops by to make sure your meal was to your liking, a nice touch. Check it out, you won't be disappointed! If you are, I give you permission to come find me and yell at me for recommending it. :)
