Cattle Ranch

Atmosphere is 1950s steakhouse with decor of a cattle ranch. However, don't let that be a reason to dismiss this restaurant. The steaks are amazing and always cooked and seasoned to perfection. Sauteed mushrooms are tasty. Love the green beans and apple sauce. And don't pass up the blue cheese salad dressing or the homemade desserts. A great hidden gem in Sanford, FL.

This is a nice quaint steakhouse that just celebrated 40 years of service. The staff was very nice. The food was very delicious. The prices were not bad at all. They are only open for 3 1/2 hours a day except for Friday and Saturday they are open for 4 1/2 hours, I love the atmosphere in this restaurant. The lights weren’t too bright. It was nicely lit, and it had a very local business field to it. Of course it is a local business. I love supporting local businesses over large corporations and chain restaurants. I would definitely recommend this establishment. I will definitely be back. The steaks were cooked perfectly. The baked potatoes were delicious and the bucks skins were very delicious. They make fantastic southern green beans as well.

Incredible food! I'm usually not much of a steak person, but this place is different. The most tender, well-seasoned steak I've ever had. Loaded buck skins, dinner rolls, fried mushrooms, and cherry cobbler were all fantastic. I also love the atmosphere here. So 70's!! Super cool. 10/10 will be back.👍

This a great throwback to the good ole days! I had the Cowgirl which is the T Bone and my spouse had the Ribeye. Great price point! Came with two sides, I chose the buckskins ( I wish they were a little crisper) but good. The salad was nice crisp Iceberg lettuce, Ranch dressing was on point!!!!! Great Family Owned place been there for 40 years+. Must stop in for a casual dinner and get your steak on!!!!

We have been going here for about 30 years. Best steakhouse around! They offer a delicious homemade dressing. The price is still reasonable ! Whether you are celebrating a special occasion or just enjoying an evening out, I highly recommend you check this place out!

Review of Cattle Ranch Steak House in Sanford: Despite its longstanding presence in the community, Cattle Ranch Steak House failed to live up to expectations during my recent visit. As soon as I stepped inside, the outdated décor and unpleasant smell were unmistakable, signaling a need for some serious improvement. The menu, presented on basic paper without any pictures, lacked the visual appeal I typically look for when dining out. While I had hoped for reasonable prices, the final bill left me feeling a bit disappointed, especially considering the plain atmosphere. For roughly $40, I received a steak, small salad, and fries, a price tag that seemed a little high given the overall experience. As for the food itself, the ribeye was decent but nothing special. It didn't stand out compared to similar offerings at chain restaurants like Texas Roadhouse, Longhorn or Outback. Service was okay, and the restroom facilities could definitely use some cleaning up. In summary, Cattle Ranch Steak House fell short of the mark for me. Despite its history, I left feeling underwhelmed and unlikely to return anytime soon.

If you want to feel like you’ve taken a time machine back to the 1970s, this is the spot for you! Classic old school steakhouse that looks like somewhere out of an old movie. Service is very slow, but friendly, and the food is very good, but not great. I ordered the 32oz cowboy porterhouse, which had more fat than I would prefer, and it wasn’t the most tender piece of steak I’ve ever had, but it was nicely grilled and tasted good dunked in their house made creamy peppercorn dressing (which is one of the thickest most delicious salad dressings I’ve ever had!). The loaded cheese fries (called “buckskins”) were the other highlight, a huge pile of steak fries loaded with cheese and bacon, which I will definitely order again if I decide to return.

I don’t eat steak but I love this place. I brought my steak lovers here and they each got ribeyes, huge and flavorful and a little fatty. I got grilled shrimp. Cheap beer. This place is not for the health conscious!

Good food, great steaks. Will keep coming back. Service is excellent. Plenty of seating room.

The Cattle Ranch takes you back, in a good way, to simpler times. Family run, which shows. I'll admit the outside, street-side, doesn't exude welcoming, but once inside it transports you to a bygone time of a steakhouse in Texas. Wooden tables and booths prepare you for an experience. I've been here several times with people who all take their steaks a different doneness...and they've all been spot on. Not sure who mans the grill, but well done. I will agree with others that the carpeting needs to be replaced and a sprucing up wouldn't hurt along with a deep cleaning...but Hell it's Sanford, not Winter Park or Heathrow so I'll keep coming back and having a really good steak.

This is the most Florida-est 80's steakhouse I've ever been to! Once you get past the initial smell of smoke, you'll realize why this hidden gem has been around for so long. This place is a no frills, divey, old school, and also very local steak house. The decor is a mix of wood panel and mounted deer! The steaks is where this place shines! I ordered the surf and turf, opted for the grilled shrimp. The strip was perfectly seasoned with a great charr to it. The accompanying shrimp looked a bit small, but it packed great smoky grill flavor. I opted for the salad and was pleasantly surprised that they make the Italian vinaigrette and another creamy peppercorn sauce in house. Both were delicious. I recommend getting the buckskins (crispy skin potato wedges) as your side and dip it in the cream sauce. Wife enjoyed her ribeye and kiddos had a great chicken tender meal. You also get a small applesauce, which idk if that is a Florida thing or like a 80s thing. But it was a nice little palate cleanser. The bread was forgettable. Our waitress was sweet and introduced us to the menu. Food came out promptly and refills were good. They have a full bar and a limited beer and wine menu. I would usually get a cab or a dirty martini with my steak dinner but was happily content with the pitcher of beer. Overall, if you are in the area and want to support a great local business and avoid another chain, opt to try Cattle Ranch. Just manage your expectations and you'll have a great experience. Honestly this would've been a 5 star if they could just get rid of smoke smell and tidied up the place a little bit.

Went with the porterhouse and wow, it was huge. Definitely enough for two people or one hungry person like me. It had a nice crust and tons of flavor. Loved dipping each bite in the jus they served on the side. Sides were okay, but honestly I barely touched them because I was focused on the steak. The lighting was a bit dim for my liking but it was cozy. Friendly staff and quick service too.

Tried the filet mignon and it basically melted in my mouth. It was tender, juicy, and had a buttery finish that I loved. The mashed potatoes were creamy and made a great pairing. Restaurant was dimly lit and cozy, perfect for dinner. Staff was polite and kept our water filled, which I appreciate. A little pricey but honestly worth it for the quality. Would recommend for date night or when you're craving something special.

I was disappointed they did not have prime rib Friday anymore but that quickly went away when I bit into my T-bone steak. It was nicely grilled and seasoned, so delicious! The salad was cold, fresh and crisp! Baked potato was perfect! Service was excellent. Funny how I forgot all about wanting prime rib!

Cozy local place, good food and great prices. The entrance is a little confusing, but it's easy enough to find.

Their filet mignon was soft and buttery, paired perfectly with garlic mashed potatoes. The waiter was attentive, but it took a while to get my drink refill. Cleanliness was great, with neatly arranged tables.

Went for the first time last night. Service was good but the steak was subpar. Asked for it to be cooked medium rare and it came out well done. Steak was super thin so I understand why it wasn't cooked properly. The cut I received was mostly fat and gristle and not very good. For the cost I would have expected much better. Most likely won't return as there are much better options for a similar price.

The steak was great for this simple and unassuming local steak house. It seems it's been in the area for some time, we should have come here sooner!

Always enjoy this family establishment each time steak tender full of floor, good service and an atmosphere of older times! Like the UK memorabilia! I will be going back

Love this place, nice laid back atmosphere, great service and steak is top notch. Way better than any of the chain steakhouses.

Great place to eat! Sam was such a nice server! Reasonable prices, fun 70s atmosphere -- I wouldn't change a thing! We will be back

Met a friend here for supper. My first time here but my friend is a regular. We started off with fried zucchini & the dip that came with it made it doubly good. I ordered a Cowgirl 16 oz T-bone while my friend got a filet mignon. Both steaks were great. For my 2 sides I ordered broccoli & a salad with house dressing. I highly recommend the homemade house creamy peppercorn dressing with blue cheese & garlic as it is fantastic. My friend got a baked potato & sautéed mushrooms. I sampled her mushrooms & regretted that I didn't order them. We ended our feast with a peach cobbler & topped it with ice cream which we split. I can see why my friend is a regular here. The service is friendly & the ambiance is old school steakhouse. I will return when I'm in the Sanford area.

Okay so, I have a suggestion. From now on, when you look up "hidden gem" in the dictionary, there should always be a picture of the Cattle Ranch. I had a hankerin for a non-chain steakhouse and decided to give this place a shot. It is OLD SCHOOL in the very best way possible. The exterior of the place looks a bit like a biker bar -- not a bad thing-- but when you get inside it's clear this is a classic family steakhouse. For just over $30 I was able to get a 10 oz filet mignon with bread and two mouthwatering sides. I went with the house salad and sautéed mushrooms. The dressing on this salad was some kind of ranch/blue cheese/peppercorn hybrid. It was unbelievable!! The filet was a thick, center-cut piece. Absolutely flawless. And to top it all off, they have Amberbock on draft -- one of the most underrated and hard-to-find beers. Lest I forget to mention, the service was fast and friendly. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. If I had to compare it to somewhere, it felt a lot like Linda's La Cantina minus the Italian aspect. If you know you know!! Run, don't walk to this diamond in the rough.

Filet was excellent as were the onions and mushrooms. Service was pretty good too! Love the history of the place.

First time here and very impressed. It's a great family style steakhouse without the frills - just great steak. Service was excellent and food came out fast and cooked perfectly. I will be back!

First time going here. The outside isn't much but walk thru the door and Bam. Nice Texas feel to the place. The bar area makes you feel right at home. All the locals go there.

Service was good but my steak was very overcooked and by the time the replacement came out, all the others had finished their meals.

Went to this amazing Gem for my Birthday again. I have been visiting here for 29 years. I probably go here a minimum of 4 times a year. No a high steak eater out. But when I do I prefer to eat it here. They serve quality meat at a good price and they cook them consistently. Plus their potato selections are great. Loaded bake potato or loaded buckskins are great. Some people say that the decor is dated but I think that adds to it. The service is great. Did I mention they have a full bar and ice cold Coors Light! Don't forget to each the little cup of applesauce.

The place looks like it's been there since the 1960s with no windows and no updates... not at all inviting- the opposite, looks more like a place where folks go to hide‍ I wasn't brave enough to go in for dinner. Left and went to area known steakhouse.

Loved eating here! The food was delicious and served quickly. I especially enjoyed the peach cobbler and was surprised by how good the shrimp were. My husband thought that the rib eye steak and sautéd mushrooms were excellent. The server was knowledgeable and checked on us many times. I must admit that we arrived right at 5:00 so it was not busy. We were not regulars but received great service, contrary to some of the reviews here. Yes, the building and decor are dated, but you can't eat atmosphere. Note that they play country music, which fits the vibe, but not my taste. I'd still be happy to go back any time!

First time here and our family really enjoyed it! The service was great & our server Tish was amazing! Our appetizers came out quickly and were delicious. We ordered The Cowgirl with side of mushrooms & salad, the double chops with green beans & salad and hamburger with fries and of course each came with a side of applesauce which was different but good, my son loved it, everything came out great! Our son didn't complain not one time about his food he ate everything! My husband loved his chops and my cowgirl steak was amazing cooked perfectly & full of flavor, no complaints!! Great prices, Great food, can't wait to go back! We left happy and full of good food!! Love the welcoming atmosphere here, definitely a must try!!

Delicious food! Friendly staff. Great service. Felt like stepping back in time to a 1980s steak house. Loved it.

Great food, good service. We had the ribeyes. Cooked just the way we requested. Didn't feel rushed.

I give more weight to recent reviews than I do overall score, but that does matter. I also read recent reviews to see why people rated how they did. This sounded like my kind of place. Not a chain, not trendy, and seriously good food. It did not disappoint! If you're looking for trendy, updated decor, keep looking. If you're looking for a neighborhood spot, that's been here for years, for good reason, give this place a try. We sat at the bar and had the jalapeño poppers to start. They were good, nothing remarkable, but the horseradish dipping sauce was a nice touch. We decided to split the Porterhouse, and ended up with leftovers. The sides we chose were sautéed mushrooms and green beans, and we'll be having them again next time. Can't say enough good things about the food or service. Found a new favorite every time we go the The Barn.

This place can be so much better, but it needs a lot of work. Stop using the strongly scented cleaner to clean tables between servings. It's so strong smelling and no one wants to smell chemicals while eating. A non-scented cleaner would be best. Speaking of cleaner, the place is filthy. There's no nice way to put it. We heavily debated getting up and leaving several times, but decided to stick it out. It's one of those places where it's best not to look around. Like a horse with blinders, just stare straight ahead! Please replace or clean the carpet, the blinds, the windows, everything! The whole place should be closed for 2-3 days and cleaned from top to bottom. Then you can maintain it much easier. You shouldn't have splattered walls and blinds or carpet so dirty it's black! It's gross! The food was OK. My chop was a little over cooked but had nice flavor. We just kept wondering how dirty the kitchen must be since the front of house is a hot mess. Imagine what you can't see!! We left most of our meal. The waitress could have cared less and hardly made eye contact. She was really nice to the regulars. I get it, we didn't fit in I guess. She wasn't mean just not warm. The place has so much potential to be great. They need Gordon Ramsey or some other makeover show to come clean it up, or new owners w money and ambition!

Steak tasted great! It was too dark where I sat. I cut my steak and tried to see if it was cooked right but could not see it. Over priced but good food

Let me start by saying that this place legit looks like a hole in the wall that I probably wouldn't frequent or even think twice about bringing my family here. There's no sign outside to know that the name of the establishment is called Cattle Ranch. If you aren't from around there or have ate there before you wouldn't know. Parking wasn't too bad. Not that many people so plenty of parking. Looks to be like a private lot so that's nice. Could use maybe a little more light here and there because it was kind of dark when we went that night. We ordered a variety of things, steaks, chicken tenders w/fries, cheese sticks (2 orders), fried mushrooms, shrimp entrees. All the food was surprisingly good. The steak was good. Cooked to order the way we like it and it was juicy. It was thin, but it was good. Overall we were happy with all the food that we ordered. Service in the other was really underwhelming. 3 - stars specifically for service. She was actually quite rude. Didn't appreciate the sort of attitude and no smile. She was getting impatient when my SIL couldn't decide on what entree she wanted. Which she didn't make deciding any easier huffing and puffing standing there. We were barely checked up on. Had to ask for plenty of things. She saw that we were done with plates and didn't remove them. A table of 5 and multiple dishes and she couldn't help clear the table. Had to ask for refills. Had to ask for silverware. This place needs to step it up for customer service. Service here is really not that good. I can't get over it. But hopefully there's more to this restaurant than just the steaks. The inside looks so old. This place could use a little revamp so it's looking more modern. My husband use to frequent this place a lot in his younger years and he said the steak stayed consistent so he really was surprised at that. I'm not easily impressed but I do have to say that the steak was cooked to my liking. Everything else came out warm not hot like it's made fresh. I'm less than impressed with that.

Don't judge the book by its cover! I have been hearing about this legendary steak house for years and we finally decided to give it a try. It doesn't look good from the outside and it does smell like smoke from the 70s and 80s. So let me preface, don't go expecting Ruth's Chris, but if you go thinking old school family steak house this is your place. They have a full bar, traditional with the long island ice tea being the only drink on the menu. Let me just say if you like Jack and Coke you will be really happy. The wine list is Merlot, Cab Chard ETC... The wine Is $5 per glass and 19 for the caraff. The glasses are filled to the top. The menu has all the items you find on a steak house. We skipped the apps thankfully and went straight to the entree. I had the Cowboy Porterhouse and my wife had the strip steak. The entrees come with applesauce and 2 sides. I choose the fries and mushrooms and my had mushrooms and buckskins. My steak was huge and cooked well. It has a charred taste and it was seasoned well. The fries were crinkle cut which I don't normally prefer but these were great. The buckskins were strips of baked potatos that are fried to perfection and were pretty awesome. The mushrooms were as expected . The desserts are all homemade and we choose the Pineapple upside cake with ice cream. It was served warm and really good. The service was fine and food paced nice. They for sure have regular and they were pretty crowded. Overall the food is pretty good, drinks are stiff, the atmosphere is comfortable and just go with proper expectations and you will love it. Let me also say you will be full when you go home and I am pretty sure everyone left with a doggy bag or 2.

What can I say, I love this old place!! It's like stepping into a time warp with the lanterns hanging from the ceiling & wagon wheels. It nothing fancy, it's a hidden gem with excellent food. We've been there many times & every time I get the 32oz Cowboy steak & split it (there's no way you're finishing it! lol) we also get the loaded Buckskins which is cheesy gooey heaven!! It's fried potato skins covered in cheese, bacon, scallions & they give you sour cream on the side. The staff is always nice. Seems like the same ladies for years so they must take good care of their staff & obviously like working there. It's one of our favorite steakhouses to eat at. I think we might take our family that's coming into town this weekend for the holidays for dinner so they can experience it.

What a nice little restaurant in the middle of nowhere lol. Had some time before a flight came in, so I stopped for a quick dinner. Service was great, food was AWESOME, and I shall be back for another steak. These cooks are A+ for steak lovers.

This place is a true hidden gem. Fabulous food great service fair pricing. Nothing fancy outside or inside. Just a great steakhouse!

Food delicious all cooked to your request. Quiet ambiance. Great side dishes. Personnel very attentive

Absolutely delicious. This place is a gem. I got the cowgirl t-bone 10 oz and medium rare as I requested. It was quick to arrive. The bread was delicious and the prices match the great quality. It's cozy and the waitress was very friendly and always checked up on us. They do have a kid's menu. My little one got fried shrimp and fries. I'm a simple gal and will be using every anniversary and birthday opportunity to come back for their steaks.

I love a old school steak house! The Cattle Ranch Steakhouse has been around for a few years! It reminds me of the movie The Great Outdoors! Old fashion customer service! I would recommend the cowgirl or the cowboy! They live cooking large pieces of meat! Go big or go home!

If I could give it a zero star, I would. Have eaten here several times it's hit or miss every time but my last experience I ordered a filet mignon well done. It definitely was in a fillet and it wasn't well done no one ever came around to check on us therefore I couldn't have it re-cooked or sent back.. not a big fan if I'm gonna pay that kind of money for steak it better be what I want and it better be perfect back to Ruth Chris for us.

I think I would give this place 4 stars if it didn't smell like smoke. And no, there is no smoking here but unfortunately it's something probably stuck in the walls and floor and would need a complete remodel to get it out. Ugh. It was hard to get past. In addition to that.... the bathrooms are very ... what's the word? Interesting. I don't know how to explain it but they are weird. Definitely not a convenient area to take your kids with you. The menu is typical of a steak place. And honestly we weren't disappointed with the food itself. I actually got a really well cooked steak and the sides were good too. And you can't beat the price. I agree that the silverware is a bit dull and made cutting the steak difficult but otherwise I didn't have any issues with the food. I did, however, have some pretty rough service there. One waitress actually came over and apologized because our waitress was brand new and it sounded like they were short staffed. I get that but it definitely doesn't help when you have two kids with you and are approaching bedtime. I think you can start investing in a nice remodel of this location without taking away it's charm but also creating a more inviting environment to a wide array of customers.

I came here last night with my 80+ year old parents after flying into the Orlando Sanford Airport. We were all tired and really needed a little break before embarking on the long ride home. I love this place and will hope to come every time I travel through the area. The decor...dated but authentic cattleman. I liked it. Reminded me of my grandfather who was a rancher. He'd be about 110 yo if he was still with us. Ranching tools, horseshoes, wagon wheels and whatnot. Wood paneling from the 60's. Heavy wooden booths. Please don't come here if old decor makes you judgy. ;-) Maybe they could do better with the bathrooms but...everything else made up for it. The service...I really loved our waitress. She couldn't have made us feel more welcome. Service was as good as I've had anywhere, and better than many. The food...the soup was scratch and EXCELLENT! We had fried mushrooms, loaded baked potato, bread, applesauce. Beer, wine and mixed drinks. A++ Everyone was really happy with the food. Just...yum. Free parking. Lots of locals. Not too loud. Clean. Again...don't come here if you are looking for fine dining. But do come if you want a good meal, good service, great value, etc. Thanks to everyone there who made our travel break so pleasurable. I wish I could go back tonight.

After driving by this place constantly for over a year, I realized that it actually IS open for business! It seemed like each time I drove by, there was no one there and the business was closed. Then I actually read the main sign out front and noticed it said "open at 5pm everyday." It was then that I started to pay more attention while driving by and noticed that the parking was in the back and I noticed now that the parking lot was always packed! Then add the tons of solid reviews on Yelp, is when I realized this might be one of those hidden gems. Well, how right I was! I decided to give it shot, after my lady was in the mood for some steaks. When you arrive, there is ample parking in the back and strangely the entrance is also in the back. When you enter, you immediately get transported to the 70's or into the wild wild west era, depending on your mood I suppose. So yes, the place is extremely dated but that's also what gives it its charm. We were immediately greeted and seated. We then noticed how large this place is and even has a full bar in the middle. Our waitress was very polite and attentive. She constantly came over to make sure everything was ok. We ordered a carafe of wine for $9 which was larger than expected. For our entrees we got the Petite strip steak, but don't let the "petite" fool you, it was definitely sufficient. For the sides we got salad, baked potato, and broccoli. The salad was a simple iceberg salad but I love cold crispy salad. I also liked their house dressing. It was tasty but I really enjoyed the French dressing. It was that darker sweeter kind that is hard to find. The steaks were cooked to perfection and did not lack flavor. I would say the broccoli was steamed a bit more than I like. The meals come with warm dark brown bread and butter and a small side of applesauce which were both good. Then to top off the wonderful meal, the check was lower than expected! So for an old fashioned spot, that has great service, good food and solid prices...it's another hidden Sanford gem!

The entrance is around the back side of the building. I get 90s vibes from the start. I love it. The 8oz. Strip dinner with 2 sides and bread is $16. Wow! I can't believe I'm @thesanfordfoodie and haven't been here yet.... It was delicious. Hidden gem. We will be back!

Food was amazing! Off beaten path, older steakhouse but boy was it good! The waitress was precious.

A blast right out of that movie "The Great Outdoors" with the 6 pound steak challenge ( call in advance to order it) to hamburgers like mom made us when we were kids in the backyard playing! They also have a full bar and their waitstaff is literally the best ladies! Don't kiss this little gem if you want a great steak...and let me know if your gonna do the challenge!! We will come to root you on!!

Talk about walking into the 80's with this place! It was so warm and inviting though! The decor was typical 80's vibe, there were several really cool light fixtures that I would love to have! There was a really cool bar, reminded me of my grandfathers bar, would love to go back and sit there for some old school whiskey drinks! Sat down, a super sweet waitress came over and took our drink orders. We ordered our food. My husband and son ordered the Ribeye. I ordered shrimp skewers and my sis in law ordered the petite steak and we shared! The entree comes with salad, and a side. I got the baked potato which was great. I got the house dressing that was so delicious! Creamy peppercorn, blue cheese fabulousness!!! We actually got the waitress to give us one to take home! The food was excellent and I'm surprised that I've never been here in all the years I've lived here. My husband remembers going here as a kid. Dinner for 4 was $128, I didn't think that was bad at all. Will definitely be going back!! Such a neat place and great food!

I've gone here several times over the past 2 years and they never disappoint. The steaks are awesome and portion sizes are good for the price. They haven't messed up a steak yet. The service is good and atmosphere is nice - a little dated. Much better than chain steakhouses and a hole in the wall place.

This place is stuck in a time warp. Absolutely disgusting food and I wouldn't even recommend it to a dog. Gordon Ramsay wouldn't even be able to save this place. It's obvious the owner or cook or chef or whatever gave up a long time ago. $31 for a filet that was as chewy as overcooked gator tail. Medium rare was literally raw and cold in the middle. They serve you a small side of canned applesauce with it and a packet of daisy sour cream with the microwaved potato. Zero cares given. To top it off, the menu has handwritten prices and the bill is also handwritten. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but it's another indicator of exactly how much they've stopped caring about this place. Save your money and look elsewhere.

As soon as I walked in the door, I stepped back in time. Yes, it's very much in need of an update as far as decor. But I heard a large group laughing and having a great time, several people chatting it up at the bar and a few other tables had diners. The atmosphere was upbeat and everyone seemed relaxed and satisfied. Our waitress was kind and gave us the right amount of attention. I had the filet and my husband had the cowgirl. I also added sautéed onions, and I'm pretty sure I got the entire onion and it was enough to share with Hubby even though I didn't want to. Salad was fresh and chilled. The thing that bothered Hubby was that although we both ordered soft drinks, the plastic glasses were the same color but slightly different sizes. I found this quirky and charming though. The bread was good, but we were given styrofoam bread plates. Our steaks and potatoes were delicious and I like the little cup of applesauce that came with it. Interesting item, but a nice little sweet treat. The prices are more than reasonable. I'd return, as I'd rather give my money to a mom and pop restaurant than to a chain steakhouse. An overhaul of the interior would probably force a raise in prices, so if you like diners and nostalgia, this is definitely the steakhouse for you! If you're younger than GenX, and want to see what it was like when your parents or grandparents went out to eat back in the day, it's like a little living time capsule.

I have been wanting to try this place for some time now. It is very good and I wish I had stopped by before. The portions are large, the staff friendly, and the prices are small when compared with what ya get. Good food, drinks, service, and all at a very good value. Next you are picking up family or friends at the airport or if you find yourself in Sanford. Give them a try.

Surprisingly great food! We had the steak, Filet Mignon (petite fillet mignon) & Loaded Potato Log (twice baked filled loaded potato), cooked perfectly the way we wanted it. Had a fully loaded Cold Crispy Salad ( fried chicken salad), which was massive and took half of it home to enjoy later. Our waitress was amazing! She was very attentive and had everything correct. We had a few questions about drinks and she had the perfect pairing for the dinner. She was friendly and personable, along with letting us know that it was a full bar restaurant. Now the restaurant itself is odd from a glance, squat building with little to no windows, main entrance in the back of said building made for some hesitation upon arriving. The floor plan is oddly designed with very odd bathrooms... but that's the only downer we noticed. The decor inside is older country style, simple tables and semi comfortable booths with old farms tools on the walls like Cracker Barrel or Fat Boys. Most likely will become regulars of the place!
