The food was delicious. Reasonable price. I've been here three times this week. I'm so glad the meet-up team brought me here
The food is always great. American Steak House never disappoints. The porterhouse steak is the best steak I ever had at a restaurant. It was so flavorful. And best of all, the portion sizes are filling. I love this place.❤️
Through the fake pandemic, they have taken away the sald bar/ mini buffet and the staff said it's not coming back. This restaurant was last of the Bonanza/Ponderosa style salad bar / everything buffets (back in the day) in my world. Buffets are now too expensive to maintain, it's sad.
This T bone steak was cooked to perfection, we loved the atmosphere and the service was also Great . We will be back ...
Your average steakhouse. That being said, Here is a veteran customers view. I have been a few times recently and many times in the past especially during my childhood. I usually get the 18 with a side of fried butterfly shkrimp. Just last week I went with my friend who had the ribs and a steak combo. And I the #18. The steak was out of this world, soft and tender not chewy. Seasoned. I had medium well and he had well done, with ribs falling off the bone. I feel like if I upgraded to 3 more oz, it would not have been as good. Today, I got the burger on special to see if I like it. The burger was ok, they didn’t ask me how my burger should be cooked and I forgot But it wasn’t dry, so that’s good. slightly seasoned It was a western burger with bacon meaning: Bun, burger, bacon. Cheese(Nasty plastic cheese, but they say no substitutions so I had to take it off myself.) Side of fries (cold and not seasoned well, and very limpy.) Onion rings were nice and crunchy yet soft. Overall and all my good and bad experiences, I give this a solid 3. (Not the best, not the worst. Sometimes Exceptional) The chef was in a rush to do something else other than cook food today I guess, he really missed it with the fries. Which are just as important if not more than the burger. You can deal with unseasoned burger but basic fries are a huge no no. It’s like he blanched them but then forgot to fry them.
I will not be back again EVER. Place reaked of Mildew. Food was NOT good at all. Buffet wasn't accessible for guests. Way over priced for NO reason. I ordered the Ribs with Steak option. Asked for Medium steak, came over cooked. Ribs were an absolute JOKE. Hardly any meat on them. Corn on the cob was OVERCOOKED. Only good thing was their pre packed tossed salad. Don't waste your time going there. Save yourself the trouble.
Overall is a good experience, the staff is friendly. Food taste great. But still no salad bar?! All other salad bars/ buffets had lifted restrictions, so please stop with the covid excuses. If your not bringing it back, just say so. In my case the small pre-made portion aren’t good, salads have cucumbers which I’m allergic to. The pasta I was served in a previous visit had too much sauce. What a shame. The prices are the same but we are getting less. If you are so concerned why not provide gloves and plastic utensils for the salad bar.
Came to dinner with my wife and enjoyed very much. Staff were very attentive and friendly. Would like to make a couple suggestions: have staff refilling the drinks at tables and please bring back the complete salad bar which was one my favorite.
