A very busy restaurant but the service was fast and the food very good. The staff were very friendly and efficient in waiting on and serving our group of about 25 people each ordering on their own check. Our group ordered from salads to sandwiches...More
Had dinner here on a Thursday night, parking lot packed. Went inside and was seated immediately with a sweet waitress. Martini and fresh bread was really good. I ordered the prime rib and that was perfect! I don't agree with the other reviews putting down...More
To be fair, four of the six meals we had were pretty good. But mine, was horrible. My "Prime Rib" was hardly that. I really doubt it was even prime rib and not some other kind of roast, like rump. First clue, no fat. One...More
The wife and I ate here on Sunday September 1, 2013. We have eaten here a few times over the years and have always felt that the food is just "average" but what really stands out for us is the "feeling" that the staff gives...More
Service was good .Meals were of good proportions and well presented. Waiter provided good service. The only downside was the absolute mess that had been dropped under the table by the previous diners.

One of Salem's better restaurants. The whole family enjoys the food and is welcomed there. But, the menu has items that are adult friendly. Nice outdoor seating too:)
This was a good choice for us for dinner late in the evening on a weekday. We had just arrived in town and wanted Prime Rib. It was 9pm, ordered rare and got rare. Salads are large, rolls are warm and very good, sweet potato...More

The parking lot was way too small - we had to park in the residential area down the street - but the service was great. I appreciated the overall fun atmosphere, nice bathrooms, & outdoor seating for summertime. I had the Harvest Salad with grilled...More

We took our daughter's family here. When we arrived we were taken to a large booth that was roomy enough for the six of us. As soon as we were comfortably seated a hostess appeared saying that they thought we would enjoy sitting on the...More
I used to love going in here for their prime rib. When my daughter came for a visit last summer I brought her here. Big mistake. The service was good, as usual, and as usual the noise level was very intense. No sound deadening at...More
