I can't believe I'm about to do this, changed my rating to 4 stars, heck I could even go 4 and 1/2. But the meal I had at this location recently really deserves the upped score.
We met a relative here for dinner and I was so hesitant to even come back because of my last experience, and with Chili's, Applebee's, Friday's in general I would pick any other place to eat if given the choice. But here we were. I was thinking of just getting an appetizer to pick at and then have a late dinner at home, but when I saw the special new steak menu I was intrigued, and there are probably two or three times a year I get a steak craving and it's nice to indulge it.
So, I ordered the parmesan crusted steak with steamed broccoli and the pepper gravy mashed potatoes. Our waitress asked if I wanted mushrooms on the steak and of course I did. I wasn't expecting much, but our food came out and I was blown away. The steak was delicious and the parmesan and mushrooms really gave it so much extra. My mashed potatoes were amazing with that pepper gravy I could have ordered a second helping. Surprisingly they even did the steamed broccoli justice and it was cooked right and seasoned just enough. I think I ate almost every bite on my plate in amazement.
I don't know what they did, new cook, new menu, new attitude, but whatever it is keep it up because I am impressed.
