The ambiance is done really well, and they have a very "old school" elegance inside. Beefeeders is dark with out being dreary. It almost reminds me of restaurants from up north.
We went with a fairly large party (7 including both boys) for a birthday party. We had reservations set up for 6pm on a Saturday, but we probably didn't need them as the restaurant was not very crowded.
As for the Food and Service, I'll be honest, we weren't impressed. This is, for this area, a pretty pricey establishment. Average entre' costs are between $20-40, if you don't get one of the "early bird specials", then you can expect to put down a pretty large chunk of change. As for the steaks, I wasn't impressed. While they were excellent cuts of meat, there was hardly any flavor. It just tasted, dull. There was no pop or kick or pizazz. Our server though very friendly and personable, just didn't seem like he was interested in the quality. It's little stuff, like asking if people want anymore drinks, or making sure the correct side dishes go on the right plates. You know, basic service type of things. Another thing that dropped Beefeeders down, is that they got rid of their Salad Bar. Now you have a choice of House Salad (lawn clipping style aka Mixed greens.) or Caesar, no more do you have the option of getting the unlimited salad bar, with that awesome green ranch dressing. The reasoning behind it is that they were loosing too much money on the salad bar.
Overall I was highly disappointed with this trip out and unless some changes are made, I can't recommend this restaurant

Hmmm I was wondering what was up with that place, saw the sign change names a couple of times. Good to know I won't waste my hard earned $.
ReplyDeleteWhat's sad is that when I was a kid this place used to be the "Special Occasion" spot. But for the price you pay and the product you get, it just wasn't worth it.
