This place... just wow on all levels. Huge space to fill, plenty of seating. So much so you should never sit people by the bathroom or the back stock where the door being opened repeatedly hit my seat... never sorry excuse me. Just a look of "what" from the bartenders and waitresses that went in. Especially when two tables out of the eight were being used and several booths on the other side. The bathroom, back-stock tables should be used as a last option, when the place is packed. No, silverware,napkins, seasoning, condiments on the table. That was brought to us after we had received our food. The waitress forgot about us, like literally walked past our table several times after she took our drink order... but never brought over drinks. Finally, I think she realizes goes to the bar grabs our drinks then takes our food order... I don't think I will go back to dine in, but I will do take out. The food was freakin' amazing. We ordered a sample with tri-tip, chicken and ribs. Great, portions I wish they gave two-three pieces of chicken like they did for the tri-tip. Baked beans were delicious with pieces of bacon, not too sweet. Fries, lightly seasoned crispy. It was a great meal, having it at home would have made it a perfect one.

Server was very nice and friendly. Food was just ok, my only complaint is that their brunch menu says dishes come with "sausages" but they're actually just hotdogs. I realize hotdogs are technically sausages but I wasn't expecting them on my plate

Usually I’m not the one to complain but I got the DTR burger and if you look at pictures it comes with 2-3 thick pieces of tri tip. But the cook decided this was good enough for my burger. Literally a little scab of meat. Excuse was there was a shift change for the cooks. Even so there should be a quality check before any food is sent out. This is just crazy to me how any cook can just send this out thinking that’s acceptable. They are obviously sick of the job at this point. Mind you they did send out more pieces of meat after I pointed it out! But that’s not the point I’m getting at. I did enjoy the flavor of the burger and the tenderness and cook was good on the tri tip. Quality control is very important also though. They had 1 person in there being a hostess/bartender/waitress/busser it seems like a very unorganized place. I would like to try again after these things can be fixed!

Great atmosphere and tvs. I will definitely be back for football or baseball. We had the appetizer platter to share with the 2 of us. We were not hungry enough afterwards to eat anything else. It came with 2 sliders, 2 potato skins, 4 wings of any flavor they carry and some nachos. The nachos had chili and had some good spice on the chips(which were fresh). We chose the mango habanero wings. I had a prickly pear margarita and my hubby had the red ale on draft. Good beer and drinks selection

Overcharge. 3% added to bill to assist with increase of Calif wages? Charged 18% gratuity on party 8+ although only 5 in our party, & triple charged our party the gratuity. Called to complain, was told had to speak to supervisor "Sammy" never returned call. Anytime I called back "mailbox full & call disconnected. Service was acceptable.

This restaurant is new in DTR & I HIGHLY recommend to anyone who is looking for a quality steak dinner that is w/ in price range. The food was amazing, especially the Mac & cheese, it literally melts in your mouth! & the drinks are also delicious! I highly recommend the blueberry lemon drop. Citlaly was our server & she was so friendly & professional. She ensured my drink was served on time & that our food was hot & fresh! Also, you gotta check out the art work & drinking games in here it's dope!
