All around excellent. Our server wasn't a speedy one as the others. The steaks were perfectly cooked to temperature. Excellent cut of meat. The complimentary bread loaf was fresh and delicious. Atmosphere is perfect for this location. We will be back when we pass through again.

We were passing through and discovered this hidden gem right off highway 95. Everything was so great! Love the steak, love the dessert

Do not let looks deceive you! This little gem is magnificent! We were told to visit here and have the most amazing steak we ever had. When we pulled up, we were not too sure as the building looked very rustic and kind of old. The signage out front didn’t seem very updated so we were like thinking this place was a little sketchy, but we were incredibly wrong. It’s absolutely rustic, very cozy,comfortable and inviting and the service was outstanding. We sat down and ordered some very tasty craft cocktails, and an appetizer which was very delicious and then we partook in a wonderful steak dinner. My son had lobster. We celebrated his birthday and had the most fabulous dinner ever. Everything was incredible! Steaks were perfectly cooked, lobster succulent, salad ice cold, green beans seasoned fabulously. The desserts were OMG yummy! Carrot cake was moist and cream cheese was perfectly creamy and not sweet. Creme brûlée was superior! Creamy custard and top perfect. This restaurant is owned by a Veteran and he pays homage to America and her Vets. Thank you sir for your service and incredible establishment. Kid friendly, ample parking, can handle bigger parties.

Stopped by to grab dinner and a few drinks. Food was good and even better was the service and conversation with my bartender Jeremy. It was only as I was leaving did I notice all the memorabilia above the bar. Very nice.

It's an okay place. Went a Friday evening, parking lot was very full so plan ahead for parking. Greeted upon entry & got seated right away (hand reservation). Sever was great even if it was busy. He was attentive and helpful. Ordered: blackberry old fashioned, wedge salad, ribeye (med rare), asparagus, mac & cheese and loaded baked potato. Overall wait time, not horrible. Wedge salad was delectable and would definitely recommend along with the blackberry old fashioned. Asparagus was okay very garlicky but not complaining. Ribeye cooked perfectly. However, was super salty to the point it was almost inedible. Mac & cheese, the taste was great except the pasta wasn't cooked fully and were more than al dente (even after it was baked). The loaded potato was orginally forgotten but I got one several minutes later. It was good, it was over cooked and dry and under seasoned. Overall it was just an okay dinner. 7/10
