I've heard so much about this steakhouse,, so I wanted to try for myself. I was fortunate enough to come here for a birthday dinner so my experience was not relative to a regular reservation because we had the private dining room in the back.
I must start with that. This place is huge, I didn't expect it to have so many people and the parking lot is huge as well so just an FYI. But upon entry, the greeting was pretty standard and welcoming. It was shared that it's the oldest steakhouse in Broward County, and I can kind of tell, because the establishment gives me a back in the day feel and looks like it's been around for a while. Also, majority of the patrons of the establishment are definitely older so it seem this is somewhere they always come.
The menu is pretty standard to a steakhouse, and I must say the prices are actually more affordable than the average steakhouse today such as Ruth Chris , flemings, Morton's, to name a few ( but these places are delicious lol).
Now the food, it was OK, I had the coconut shrimp, which tasted like frozen package shrimp they heated up. I also have the crabcakes which was pretty standard and tasted okay as well. In my party, they had the appetizer sampler, mac and cheese, potatoes, the lobster, the porterhouse steak, the ribeye. But everything was just OK for me, it wasn't like melt in the mouth, scrumptious food. The food wasn't terrible, but it did not live up to the hype, and my party definitely agreed.
I feel like a lot of these reviews and people that love it is really based on nostalgia for the restaurant because there are definitely better options out there. This is not somewhere I need to return.
