I cannot understand the cult of customers this place commands. Four and a half stars? Are they kidding? This place is vastly over-rated. I will say that the atmosphere is appropriately kitsch and what I expected, but for the price, some of the worst food I have ever been served. \r
\r
First, the good news: The drinks were good and so was the service. \r
\r
Now the bad news: First the salad - lilted iceberg lettuce with a single (I'm not kidding) cherry tomato passes for a salad here, with one choice (apparently thousand island) of dressing. Only three steaks from which to choose (all sirloin), and one side item (misnamed 'greaseless' home fries, because they were definitely greasy). \r
\r
With respect to the steaks, they are quite generous. Otherwise, they were low on taste and not very tender. I would tend to agree with another of the reviewers here in that I believe the bread they serve is simply cut-up hot dog buns slathered with some garlic salt concoction and baked crisp. \r
\r
Overall, one of the worst values in Twin Cities dining. For a little more, you can go downtown and have a truly great meal at one of the many great eateries in the TC. Somebody should also revise the 'kid friendly' designation this place gets on this site. There are only three meal choices (no, I'm not kidding) and I don't think any of them are particularly 'kid friendly).
