| - The Rib Eye is solid and unpretentious. You come for meat, you will get meat. If you are on a college student budget, it might be a good place to go with your parents. Personally I like it better when I'm not picking up the bill.
The main dishes are right there in the name - different sizes of rib eye. I'd heard great things about the salad bar, and it is pretty good. There's a lot of x salads - pasta salad, bean salad, egg salad offerings. The vegetables are reasonably fresh and there's a fair amount of toppings.
Even so, this is not a good place for a vegetarian. My girlfriend's family took us out to eat here and one of her sister's friends was a vegetarian. She had very little luck with the menu and I think had to get the salad bar only.
The rib-eyes are meaty and well cooked, not too overseasoned. They come out on a hot metal plate that will continue to cook them a bit as you eat. I have ordered rare steaks each time I've been there, and they actually brought out properly rare (chill in the middle and bright red) so I didn't mind too much. It was moist and delicious. The steak fries are big and crispy but just a little bland to me.
The price does seem a bit high to me when paying, and the decor is absolutely outdated. A lot of the popularity of this place is rooted in nostalgia, I think, but it delivers the Rib eyes it promises.
