Tonight I tried the wings, burgers, and Shepherds Pie. Everything was ok, and the pie was above average.
The beer selection isn't bad and the food is definitely better than Hooters. Service was pretty good too. Our waitress was real sweet and came by every 10-15 mins to check on us.
Got the large prime rib (medium) with a side of sweet potatoes. Not the best, but not the worst either. Good size portion and cooked perfectly. My objection is that it was overly salted. Actually, I've had other steaks here and thought the same thing too. Always too much rub or seasoning.
Overall, it's an ok place. Satisfies the steak craving when I'm too lazy to cook myself and I don't feel like spending a fortune at a upscale chophouse.
Oh well, I'm just happy that someone can do it right. upgrading to 4 stars.

3.5 stars.
Very solid pho here. Big parking lot, spacious dining area. Portions could've been a bit bigger, but other than that, I definitely can't complain. Spring rolls were crispy and the sauce wasn't too fishy.
They have a good fruit slushy selection, although they call it bubble tea here. I don't get it....Mozart and White Windmill Cafe does that too.....pass off slushies and frappacino's as bubble tea.
Not the most well-worded review here but it's hard to get jazzed when writing about pho.
After workouts I just don't feel like cooking, not even a small meal. And although it's not the most healthiest of foods, tortas are fast , simple, and cheap.
There's a wide variety of sandwiches, and tacos to choose from. By now I've probably had the whole menu. Not everything is good (like their tacos), but I think most of it is pretty good. They also have a salsa bar with 4-5 different sauces and these marinated onions that I love.
1. Wonton Noodles
2. Roast Duck
The noodles were fine but was not seasoned at all. The soup was pretty bland. Roast duck had too much soy sauce on it and the once crispy skin turned soggy.
My friend got a bowl of congee which he said was bland too. Not really impressed so far but I'll come back to try some more dishes another time.

I've been here a couple of times now, usually to satisfy my hunger after a night of drinking. I know a lot of people use beef chow fun as a benchmark to judge the restaurant but I'm not a big fan of it so I usually get it's saucy cousin, beef with crispy noodles.

Going in, there is a little bit of that dungeon feeling like some people have mentioned but I happen to have an affinity for dark and smoky atmospheres. Makes me feel like a villain in an old movie.
Got the Swiss burger (medium), with onions rings. It's a decent size and a good looking burger but the flavor just wasn't there, it was quite bland actually. I don't think I tasted ANY seasoning. The onion rings were nice and big but also lacked seasoning in the batter.
I was very hungry when I walked in so I threw a bunch of hot sauce, ketchup, and mayo on this bland burger and scarfed it down. I don't know, maybe my friend over hyped the burger. Whatever the case is, I wasn't too impressed with the burger. I'll come back to drink and try the prime rib though.

I've heard good things about it before and I regret not being able to try it before the change in ownership so I could compare.
Last night we got 1lb Brisket, 1lb Pulled Pork, Rack of ribs, Brunswick stew, Baked Beans, and Sweet Potato. I've heard about their "Wendy's" like fries so I avoided them. Meats were smoky, tender, and most important...delicious! The stew was very hearty although a bit too sour. Baked beans were awesome, not sure what they added (maybe chopped celery or relish?) but it gave it a good contrast in texture.
The only thing we didn't like was the sweet potato. It wasn't bad or anything, just wasn't on par with the rest of the food which was really good.
I did see the duck, fish, and organic stuff on the menu but I'll save that for my next visit. For now, I'll rank it #1 for brisket, #2 for ribs, and #1 for pulled pork.
