| - I recently took my father and uncle, visiting from out of town, for dinner. Atmosphere was great, but food was ok. We ordered the fried pickles and the coconut shrimp for appetizers. Pickles were great, and the shrimp was also good, but very greasy. The salad was iceberg on a plate with 2 tomatoes, 2 cucumbers, and a ton of croutons. Never got the dinner rolls, ok though since we really didn't need them. We ordered two prime rib dinners (medium), one rib dinner, and a NY strip medium rare. Both orders of prime rib were very well done, and the steak was very raw. I wanted to ask for new prime rib, but my father insisted they would eat it anyway. If you have nothing but very well done prime rib available, at least let your guests know and give the option to order something else. After waiting about 15 minutes, my steak was cooked longer, and was actually very good. While my partner thought his ribs were great, I have had better at chain restaurants. The "fire roasted corn on the cob" was boiled frozen corn, and tiny. I know corn isn't in season, but when it's clearly frozen and boiled, at least get some decent cobs! Maybe throw them on the grill to "fire roast" then. The other sides (baked beans, mashed potatoes, and loaded baked) were average. The entire meal lasted about 30 minutes (15 minutes for appetizer, salad, meals, and 15 minutes to reheat my steak)...we were rushed quicker than a McDonalds. Sad because there were only a few tables on a Thursday night. This establishment is obviously overpriced and not worth the money if you only rely on the food, it's a tourist trap. You need to pay the musician, the magician, and the 20 staff members in the restaurant somehow. Speaking of the magician, that is why this place gets the stars. After our lackluster meal and service, he amazed us with table side magic for 10 minutes. Sad that an awesome magician is the star of a steakhouse, rather than the food.
