The team roping was really great to watch, had to wait 1 1/2 hrs to be seated, waitress was really great, the food was pretty bland, the ribeye steak was very chewy and a lot of fat on them for the price.

Little J steak was so tough it couldn't be cut with a knife little own be eaten by 90 year old man steak was returned to kitchen and replaced by a filet which was awesome and this was done at little j steak price even though filet was $10 more. We were taken care of very well.Parking: Handicap by door. Plenty of room for parking and all parking is reasonably close.

Btk the food critique here to do what I do an critique......well the service needs a lil bit of old fashioned hustle an bustle but the food makes up for it the meats ? oh my goodness are delicious such good steaks so good shiskabob prolly best ? I've ever had !!! The loaded baked potatoes ? are amazing for real for real !!!!! The loaded mash are also good...the cheese curds lil greasy but delicious now the burgers ? are fire ?, the rice was fire ?, I ordered so much food only thing I didn't love was the mac an cheese an that's prolly cause I'm a Southerner an I'm used to that deep south mac n cheese that makes ya wanta sing to the heavens above about like their steaks had me doing an let's not forget the shrimp !!! I was impressed ? ? ? very good shrimp ,whoever owns this place should be proud !!!! The dips were ok but I think that's opinion based ? don't go off my taste buds on the dips although the spinach artichoke was just as good as anybodys the other dips I think are very mid western an I imagine Lotta folks will enjoy !! All in all what a wonderful experience an such good food!!!!

Very nice atmosphere.waitress was wonderful & fast service. Food choices blew us away. Anyone can find something they like with the menu. Drinks were awesome. All 3 of us ordered steaks. The steaks were pretty darn good,even considering the thick fatty side down the entire length all 3 of ours. All 3 were cooked properly as to our tastes( 2 rare & 1 medium rare). The only thing preventing me from giving it the full 5 stars was the extremely thick fatty side on all 3 steaks. Made cutting it up a little more work & added to the weight no doubt.

The food is great! You won't leave hungry. They have the best chicken fried steak around. I prefer to eat in the dining room because it is a little quieter ,not so crowdedand I'm not a bar person. To watch the rodeo out the big window you have to sit in the bar area. That is the only reason I took off one star. The service is good.I like the decor, the shopping. One of my favorite places to eat.

There is no way to remove stars or I would do it, we didn't even get to try the food we come as a group of 40, 34 of those people got served their food and a couple more tables, that come after us got served their food, we arrived there about 7:25 it was 8:30 and still no food we asked the waitress why we were there waiting for so long and she only said that there were still a couple of things that they were getting ready, at 8:40 we decided to leave we went to pay for our drinks, and they started to fuss about us leaving, the manager come and said the food was ready that it was a steak that took too long to cook, so overall I don't think that the rest of us should have waited for just one steak, they could have served the food to our group of 5 and made the person that ordered the steak wait but that was not the case, so after the manager comes and asks if anyone wants their food to go, we said no so they can make us wait for another hour just to get it ready to go no thanks, so if you are a person that doesn't like to wait, don't go there and if you are really hungry and want fast service don't go there, so I don't recommend it at all

I had the ribeye I ordered it rare which it was but the fat was still hard like it never seen heat I came out ice cold and the fat that had melted down started to resolidify my wife said that her Buffalo chicken wrap tasted like it was from McDonald's my friend on the other hand enjoyed his fillet mignon service was extremely slow.
