• 12/19/21We bordered the family feast, it was AMAZING!!! Every single piece of this meal was perfect! We chose the trinity and at Louis ribs... omg!!! Highly recommend!! It was so good, we had leftovers for breakfast! Staff was amazing. Meal was ready at the exact communicated time and when I arrived to pick it up, the staff helped me carry it to my car. Great service, great food created a wonderful evening for my family. Thank you !!

• 8/31/25Probably the best tri-tip i've ever had! The ribs were meaty and just right temp. I think the steamed veggies were seared or braised, that’s a delightful touch! The mac n cheese was okay and the potato salad was frankly bland. The "red sauce" is a classic sweet barbecue and the brown is more of a savory gravy.

• 8/15/25I wish I could give a higher rating,however,the ribs were so overcooked, large portion but hard to enjoy stringy dry, and really disappointed in the coleslaw, they changed the dressing.
and it wasn't good , that is one thing I thought would never change!..'s a good thing..the tri tip was excellent, juicy, and nice portion ..

• 4/4/23Family Feast is a good deal and plenty of food! The beans are underseasoned and the corn is bland and mushy. The original ribs and chicken are very good. The 1/2 Dozen Corn Bread Muffins are extremely crumbly and dry.

• 9/24/23Menu indicated with the dinner we ordered there were 5 ribs. We only received 4 , and they were very dry. And two were very small. This had happed before, thought it was a fluke. Apparently it is not.
Rolls were so dry, We tossed then out.
Very disappointing .
We haved enjoyed this restaurant for 40 plus years. Seems the standards have relaxed. Sad!
