Best lamb tips I've ever had. Cooked perfect every time. Finding good lamb tips has always been a challenge. Now I simply won't even bother going elsewhere for lamb. A friend of mine also swears by the steak tips, says they are the best around. Great drinks and great staff too!

I usually never take the time to write a review. I actually enjoy their steak tips most of the time (even though some are less tender than others).
I called at 3:45pm on a Thursday for a take-out order. Was told to wait...ended up waiting on the phone for a few minutes until I was hung up on. Called right back, was told to wait again...waited more than 5 minutes without anyone answering me. Ridiculous, so I hung up. Tried calling back again and now am getting the busy signal everytime. I find it highly unprofessional/rude for this to happen. If you are going to offer takeout, offer it. If not, say so.
You just lost a customer. -

I had a really good time (I think). I will have to come back to see what this place was like.
I do remember being satisfied with the bacon cheeseburger. I'm not sure if I would recomend it. I should have written the review that night considering the state I was in. -

Do you like steak tips? Do you even know what steak tips are? Do cows have tips? None of that matters. All that matters is that you can pay the $18 for the very juicy, delicious steak tips (plus tip and tax). I have no idea what cut of meat they are but I ordered mine medium rare with fries. The tips are beautifully dark and and chewy. They cooked it well done the first time around and, while we did get it sent back and replaced with a perfectly medium rare dish, even the well done batch retained the same flavor and juiciness. It seems like the flavor bursts at the seams no matter how they're prepared. The fries that came with the steak tips were completely lackluster and were not good at all, but whatever.
We also ordered an appetizer of wings ($7.95) which were suuuuper crunchy. Another reviewer said that they tasted frozen but I don't care because they were delish. And there's a pretty generous amount (I think like 9 or 10?) per basket so you're actually getting your money's worth.
I will say that one (and the biggest) detraction is service. Everyone is quite friendly and polite, but there were only, like, three servers for the entire place. It's not a huge space but you still wait a while to be seated and served and for other things like water refills, etc. Additionally, they charged an extra $1 or $2 for the salads that come with the entrees but didn't tell us until we asked after seeing it on our bill. The explanation had something to do with having to use iceberg lettuce in lieu of romaine due to the ecoli outbreak, but that (1) didn't make much sense to me and (2) doesn't seem like it should be the customer's problem. My biggest gripe about that is the principle, though -- they should have let us know before they served it for sure. -

Can a place really get so busy that you decline pick up orders on a weeknight? What's the point of offering take out if you're too pretentious to do it when it's "too busy."
