Side dishes include baked potato, fries or a delicious mix of steamed broccoli, squash, cauliflower, carrots and snow peas. There's also some fish, chicken and pasta on the menu for those not primed for a prime rib. Desserts are unnecessary extravagances here, but if, for some reason, you still have room, cheesecake, brownie sundaes and a apple, cinnamon, ice cream and caramel are there for the asking. Get there early in the evening and you can avoid the wait. Otherwise, a 10-20 minute wait isn't unusual.
Service is friendly and informal, with a wait staff that seems eager to please.
The noise level can be a bit high, but that just makes your private conversation even more so. Reviewers do not notify restaurants in advance of their visits. The newspaper pays for all meals.
