Second time here, the first time we were here the owner, Rey, opened the door to greet us as we were approaching the front door. which was surprising. We sat at the bar, it was a slow day, so plenty of seating for us. The bartender was friendly but gave us a minute to look around and get settled, she then gave us our menus and offered us something drink. 2 shots of their best Tequila and 2 Corona lights. We ordered Ribeyes of course it is a steakhouse right, medium with baked potatoes. My steak was kinda chewy but tasty, maybe it needed to stay a minute longer on the grill? The owner came over and spoke to us for a minute and filled us in on the history of the place, Rey is a funny guy with a lot character. The bill was kinda high but the way things are it's about average, overall I would come back, I enjoyed talking to Angel, Rey was interesting to talk to, the atmosphere was low key, mostly the regulars enjoying a chill Friday night dinner. On the way out I noticed a photo of Jay Leno and Rey the owner on the wall, interesting I wonder if it was taken at the restaurant?
First time here & we we're greeted by the owner. He made sure our table was prepared for us and ready right away. Our waitress was very polite and made sure we had everything we needed or wanted. The place was busy but food came out in a reasonable time and was very flavorful and delicious. We will definitely be returning 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We were shopping in Stockton and came across this steakhouse. The restaurant definitely had an old steakhouse vibe to it. The food, service and prices were beyond expectation. You’ll actually find their limited menu refreshing as the meals come with bread, and their own veggie appetizer platter. Our steaks were cooked perfectly, and we left with a box of leftovers which for me is unusual.
Amazing Service and food. Everything was perfectly cooked and seasoned. Really enjoyed the atmosphere as well. The kids menu was perfect for the little ones. Will definitely be visiting for a delicious meal a lot more often. Highly recommend to anyone who enjoys good food.
So let me tell you about this place. If you're looking for great steak and lobster and solid drinks, I encourage you to go early sit in a booth in the bar relax and have a great time this time we had Israel take care of us and of course he was awesome just like everybody. The owner gracious as always. The food amazing. This isn't the Sizzler so don't even go there, that's where the amateurs go. You want a good old-fashioned service awesome food a good time and this is the place to go. My highest recommendation and as always this is not a compensated endorsement.
