I can’t say anything bad about the experience! It was overall very good and pleasant. Food was delicious, wait staff was friendly and timely, and while we were the last guests seated for the night we didn’t feel like we were being pushed out at the end I’d the evening.

We had the lobster and top sirloin, and the swordfish. Both great choices! And the sides were phenomenal. It was nothing so extraordinary that I feel it deserves a 5 star, but it was great overall.

We’ve been going here for years. It’s not a super fancy steak house as far as quality but the atmosphere is so nice. Snow roof, cabin feel, lots of artwork and friendly staff, the kids love it here. The cheese bread and salad is amazing, we’ll dine here just for that. The steak is hit or miss, depending on who’s grilling. Sometimes it gets over cooked and has to be sent back, which is wasteful but it gets dry and bitter. When done well as a true medium rare, it’s so good. Staffs are always so friendly with the kids and make them feel welcome. Our kiddos have named the best upfront, Bear Steve lol They have a lot of food options too if you don’t want a steak, just all around great restaurant. Our favorite server is Donald, he’s so awesome, friendly and always on point. Thank you Clearman’s! Oh how can I forget, they let you put your peanut shells on the floor, kids love it!

Large portions and the same flavor and taste they have had for years. Service has been excellent the last couple of times I went but maybe that was due to our party being sat in the bar area both times and not by request. The bar area has TVs showing sports.

The restrooms are under renovation. Males have to use the trailer out front and the women are using the men’s restroom inside.

First time here but was expecting big things from what I had heard. Salad was amazing. Steak was amazing. Cheese bread is addicting as can be. Had a wonderful server. Prices were good. Peanuts tossed on the floor is a great vibe. Will certainly be stopping in again to enjoy everything about it. Busy evening but great place to enjoy good and football on a Sunday evening and will certainly be back again.

Definitely make reservations before you go here. My husband and I were coming back from Los Angeles to stop here for dinner. Fortunately it wasn't ridiculously busy. We were quoted a 30-minute wait and only waited 10 minutes. They do not accept reservations unless you're a very large party. It's about $50 a person if you have a regular meal on your own but the meals are so huge just easily shareable. We shared a sirloin steak and shrimp meal they cut the baked potato in half and each of us got half of everything. They do charge a plate charge of $9.95 to cut a meal in half but even at that we were both full and we also ordered an appetizer of zucchini which was excellent. Who couldn't even eat all the food that we had. We had good service just because of the pricing.

Free orange sherbert on your birthday! We had a great time here for my wife's big day. The lights are low. The service is spectacular. I had the 13oz New York Strip Steal, medium, and it was delicious. The brisket sandwich and scallops were also great. The decor is perfect. This is a hidden gem of a steakhouse where you throw your peanut shells on the floor.

I had the filet of cod plate. It was delicious. Maria was our server and gave us exceptional service. It was slow on a Tuesday night and perfect for a nice dinner out

Such a disappointment! We had a party of 9 on a Tuesday night. There were quite a few empty tables around us, yet our service was not very good. Drinks and food were both slow getting to the table. We had to ask multiple times for refills. The salad and bread were the best part of the meal. The sandwiches had flavorless fatty meat. The fish was dry, and the rice pilaf wasn't very good either. My dogs had a lot of expensive leftovers that night.
