We had been regulars for years, but we hardly stop here anymore. We maybe only eat here about twice a year anymore.The prices have increased and it's marginal food as best. $17.48 for a 4 bone St Louis rib dinner?? It would be different if it was a rib meal that was worth that price. There certainly isn't much meat on those bones. I'd pay more for rib dinner if it was good. You get two lousy sides included and the sides are trash. I got a baked potato which was good. It's pretty hard to screw that up though. Only other side I could even think of was the fries because there are no other sides I would even want. Turned out the fries were a fail, cold and soggy inside.They haven't been able to fix the corn muffin problem here for years. They aren't fresh it doesn't seem. When you remove the paper they just crumble and fall apart. We had hoped they had fixed this problem. We made the mistake of ordering two extra muffins and they charged us $1.49 each for the lousy things! What's amazing is you can buy their cornbread muffin mix in the grocery story, make it yourself at home and it's fantastic. What they serve in the restaurant is horrible. You wouldn't know it's the same. Maybe it isn't?Onion Straws at $6.99? They're pretty good, but for limited size portion you get...they ain't worth that.The service was pretty good, but they also weren't very busy. At noon on a Tues, I don't think there were more than 8-10 other customers in the place, pretty slow. Maybe it's no surprise. There were definitely people out and around town today, so that's not the problem. I find it interesting in this day and age that nothing is printed on the ticket for contacting corporate with any comments or suggestions. I guess they don't want to know.Overall, I would say it's overrated and overpriced with mediocre food. Date of visit 04/30/2019 at about noon.

Will not eat here again. Got a bones box with no sauce. Tried to return it but could not get a refund, just a certificate to eat here again. Why would I want that! Gave it away at work. Will let someone else give it a go.

Cook decided to serve me awful looking fried tenderloin. the breading was overcooked, not sticking to flat square small piece of meat. Even when I mentioned how bad it looked she left it in front of me. I finally insisted that the bartender take it back. I resent being put in that position. Always hate to do and leaves a "bad taste" in your mouth. Second one looked and tasted great. My fries were cold by then with no offer to bring fresh. Not the best experience. The bar gal never smiles. She looks pissed off all the time and isn't very attentive. At least not towards me. There were several guys who came in and sat across the bar that she seemed very friendly with. So, I guess if she knows you, you'll get good service. I felt ignored. Every time I needed something I had to try to get her attention or go find it for myself. This wasn't time first time I felt this way here, with her. Sad, cuz I would really visit more. Nothing fancy. Local hangout. TV's around. Big round bar. Can be lots of fun, nice patrons.
