Wow!! This place was great!! Hubby had the tenderloin sandwich and it was admittedly a bit thinner than he prefers but over all it was really good and huge. I had the Catfish sandwich with the million dollar bacon. So good!! That catfish was crispy, flaky, hot and flavorful!!! Would definitely get catfish again!! Oh and we got the red velvet cheesecake cake!!! Shiloh, our server, was so sweet and attentive! 5 stars all the way around!!

We stopped in late on the way back from Branson. The staff was more than willing to still serve us and was so nice and pleasant. The portions are HUGE. We didn't realize or would have considered sharing since we had several hours before we got home. We had tue potato skins for the appetizer. They were crispy, cheesey loaded with bacon, and still plenty of potato. (We did not need this because of how big the meals were, lol) Our party had the tenderloin dinner, tenderloin sandwich, and garlic crusted prime rib. The tenderloins were thick, crispy, seasoned well, and giant, just as a tenderloin should be. The prime rib was seasoned so well. It was like butter and just melted in your mouth. For sides we had green beans; these were also seasoned perfect with plenty of bacon and pepper, Mac and cheese; not a group favorite lacked flavor and wasn't what we expected out of mac and cheese, mashed potatoes; personally this is how I like my mashed potatoes, chunky with some of the skin, and French fries; they were crispy, hot and decent fry. Two of the dinners came with rolls, also not a fan of them. it just didn't match the standard of the rest of their food. Overall, it was a great experience, and we will be back to try other menu items.
