Appetizers were applebees quality. So salty, it was not edible. Rolls were old and stale. Ordered an old fashioned that was approximately 45% sugar. Appetisers came 30 min later and then salad immediately, and 2 min later entrees. Ordered a bone in ribeye came without said bone. It was as though people that have never had anything more upscale than olive garden were trying to be fancy. Meal for 5 people was just over $600 with 4 cocktails and 1 bottle of wine. Dang near ruths Chris prices for wedding banquet quality. Did i mention that there was a stage and a loudspeaker blasting a comedian 12 ft away? Hard pass.

If you are looking for a steak that is cooked to perfection this is the place! The garlic mashed potatoes and stuffed mushrooms were nothing to brag about. Our waitress did not return to check on us after the kitchen staff brought our food into she brought our bill. She did have a large party she was waiting on but other wait staff could have helped her. I felt the total experience wasn't worth the price paid.
We had our first dinner here in December.. Had a ribeye and husband had prime rib. It was delicious and we so enjoyed... went back sat Jan 27.. Our waitress was Jill. She was wonderful.. BUT. We were so disappointed. My ribeye was pink inside. But so dry. There was no juice in it whatever. Very dry and very tough.. My husbands prime rib was also very tough. The baked potato was cold. Would not melt the butter... The waitress Jill was so nice. We didn't want to complain.. but ... we will never come back there!! We paid $145. Plus tip for the wonderful waitress.

Our appetizers were delish, the lobster bisque soup yummy and our filets were so tender, tasty and grilled just right! We had a wonderful and very attentive server, Lindsay, who made sure that everything was just perfect!

The lobster bisque and french onion soups were scrumptious. The bread was very flavorful, tasted fresh. We were very impressed with the quality of the filet mignon and salmon with pesto bow tie pasta was so delicious. The sides of potatoes augratin, mushrooms, and asparagus were delirious as well. The seating was comfortable. The waitress was friendly and polite, very attentive to providing great service.

Our server did a great job of getting to us almost immediately. She was very helpful and I would love to have her again when we return. I had the rib-eye which was perfectly cooked. The mac and cheese was very good along with my salad. Seats are track side and almost all windows. Bar was good, but for some reason Harrah's has a very limited choice on spirits. We will go again and again. Very relaxed and enjoyable.

Food was delicious. Steak cooked perfectly. Mac-n-cheese was a new favorite. The only thing i didn't particularly like was the blue cheese dressing on the wedge salad. It tasted store bought and not housemade. But other than that it was a great dining experience.

Great Food, exceptional and very attentive service!!! My husband and I were celebrating our 45th Wedding Anniversary. I had requested the comfy chairs and got them. Wonderful night❣️
We used to brag about the steaks and experience at Hoosier. If anyone took us up on it and had our experience last night, I'd be embarrassed. We waited a while before being greeted even though there were only about 5 tables total. I had to ask the server to run me my drinks that were just sitting at the bar (bartender had no guests and was just standing there, he could've ran it). My husband's steak came out well done when ordered med rare, which they remade but took almost 30 minutes. So I basically had dinner myself and when his finally came out the sides were so cold. They should've offered to keep his sides warmed. The seasonal vegetables was broccoli???? Come on! Also was not fully cooked and awful. There was a table next to us playing music from their cell phones cause they didn't like the restaurant music. At $50 a steak, I don't expect the restaurant to allow such mockery. Been there many times and enjoyed our meal and the atmosphere but this experience likely won't have me going back again. Very disappointed.

Our service was fantastic. The place is cool. Different environment than most. The menu however is pretty small and the food is very pricey. I just ended up eating a salad, it was good. My family ordered more expensive stuff and it looked ok. But for the price expected A LOT more. The bread sucks. The water was good and probably my favorite part. Doubt I will ever return.
The menu has been revamped and if you're a bacon lover most of the food has bacon. The old lobster Mac and cheese we used to love is now shrimp and bacon Mac and cheese. The salmon and pasta is very good. Salmon was tender and not fishy. The pasta was cooked perfectly and very tasty. The wait staff were all friendly and attentive. They are hard working and all deserve good tips

This was a birthday trip for me and we randomly decided to stay in Anderson. We had reservations at a restaurant in Indianapolis and decided to give this restaurant a try and we were not disappointed! The food was great and our server Jill was amazing! She had such a great personality and vibe and made the evening even better! We will be back and have already told our friends! See you next time!

Steak came out very fast little flavor. Mashed potatoes didn't have a lot of flavor. The baked potato was very good and so were the mushrooms. But the mushrooms was way over priced you only got 3 for 13. Crazy

Birthday dinner was glorious! Chef's feature was shrimp and grits and they were phenomenal! I feel horrible I didn't notice server name but he was great! Very nice evening!! Our novice selves also enjoyed the live racing!

Steak was cold, mashed potatoes were cold. Not much flavor on either. Seemed like a generic version of a good steakhouse. Service was good. Just the food was very lack luster for the price.
