I don't thing even it knows what it is. Is it a speakeasy? Definitely not. Not even close. Of course the sign on the outside is toward the rear of the building so by the time you see it you have passed it, which is something you should do just keep right on driving, and when you walk it there is no hostess or even a hostess stand. So maybe it is. Is it a steak house? Not even close. To even think this place is a steak house is an insult to steak houses. Corporate fake Australian steak houses are better than this place. Is it a country bar? Kind of? The bar is made out of wood and they are playing country music but that is about it. There are no other decorations beside a picture of some cows way over in a corner.\nWhen you walk in you immediately face their postage stamp of a dance floor and the quarter sized stage, well maybe a half dollar size. Then there are some stairs right in the middle of the place that lead up to what looks like a \"kind of nice\" VIP section, no one will ever know. Then on the other side of that are some tables placed haphazardly around with some black angus reject booths along the wall. Don't worry about finding a place to sit there won't be anyone there. There was only a family of three and two other guys there when I got there.\nThe place doesn't look nice at all. Possibly clean. I thought the menu was just a drink menu and was waiting for the real menu to be handed out when I realized this was the real menu. One of those tall leather books that in a real place would be a drinks menu and there are symbols next to some of the dishes but they don't mean anything. Way to go with that. The only reason I even bothered to walk in this place is my Mom had a groupon. Otherwise I would have never come here which turns out was the right choice.\nThe only things possibly good about this place was the service was good, but I feel sorry for the one server and one bartender because they will be out of jobs soon, and the bread was pretty good. That was it. Other than that is place was like one of those places on one of the many save my restaurant shows on TV. You don't think those places can be that bad but yes they can. If you call yourself a steak house you should know how to cook a steak. Their chief or cook or whatever he is called should be fired immediately. They cut into my steak to see if it was done!?! Really. You should have confidence enough in your cooking abilities to know when a steak is cooked how you want it. Cutting into it let the juices right out of it and made it dry and tough. Way to go with that. The baked potato was ok but be careful if you want it loaded you get charged $2. What you do get for this hidden fee? A pinch of cheese, one piece of bacon crumbled up and some sour cream and butter. Wow thanks so much for that.\nAnother thing if they are trying to be a country bar then you would think they would have standard beers on tap. Bud, Bud Light, Miller Lite stuff like that but no they have fancy no name beers on tap. What? Again I ask what are you trying to be.\nWhen the bill came it was $50 and no way was that even close to a $50 meal. On no planet was that worth $50. The fake corporate place charges less and is way better then this place. Guess what they don't cut into your steak to see if it is done. They know when it is done.\nWhoever opened this place must have read Starting a Restaurant For Dummies but didn't finish or only read though it not cover to cover. It is almost like they didn't have enough money to start up but went for it anyway. Figure out what you want to be and go with it. Don't try to be everything at once. Get a new chief who knows how to cook steak if you are going to be a steak house.\nMaybe if this place figured out what it was it might be ok but if not they will be closed by this time next year. I should have given them one star but out of pity I give them two. Mostly because the service was pretty good even though the place and the food were horrible.\nI don't want to be mean but this place is bad. One of the worst I've been to in awhile. Even my Mother, who isn't critical of places, thought this place was horrible too. Do yourself a favor just pass this place by and keep right on driving. There are some great places just a mile north of this place. Go to one of them."^^ . . . "6"^^ . "4"^^ . "2"^^ .
