Really... five stars. In the first five minutes, including in the parking lot, we were greeted by 4 very friendly employees (separately). That was quite a surprise. The parking lot was being paved and the employee outside helped us where to park and apologized for the inconvenience. Inside, the decor was quite comfortable and clean. Since it is at Falcon Field, we had a great view of a runway.
As seen on the reviews and website, yep you can get meat on a hot stone! The steaks were tender and juicy. 3 out of 4 of us had the "Steak Bites on a Stone". Very very happy. The sweet potato waffle fries were soooo tasty and even better with the dips. The bourbon sauce was a hit with 3 out of 4 of us. Me, I had to take some sauce with my leftovers!
All of us had the side of those sweet potato fries and the cold salad bar. I asked to taste the bourbon beans to see if that would be my side dish. (I was wondering because someone didn't like it in the reviews.) She brought out some for me to try and I liked it. The beans were like Campbell's Pork and Beans with a mild bourbon flavor. I grew up on Campbell's beans so I thought it was great!
Everything was clean and fresh on the salad bar. (Something I don't take for granted anymore!) On the hot food bar, they had three soups too (Beef Vegetable, a Chili and a kind of Chicken soup).
Oh yes, we got a *FREE* appetizer because of checking in with Yelp. Trying to decide between fried pickles and fried zucchini, the server offered half and half. YAY! The pickles were really great and the zucchini had a bit more batter than I prefer, but we were happy to eat til the plate was clean! Again, even better with the sauces/dips.
I had the bread pudding and Betty had the Peach Cobbler. The bread pudding was enjoyable, but reminded me that I was too full to finish it! It wasn't the kind with full size bites of bread, it was more moist than that. The Peach Cobbler had lots of fruit, warm, not too sweet and served with vanilla ice cream - just right!
The particular two people I have to mention are Alyssa and Rusk. Truly with them, it put it all totally to a 5 star rating. I actually think there were five people helping us through the lunchtime meal. WOW and always checking in on us too. I would go back to enjoy it all again!
