    10-4 I have never eaten there. The reviews on google are not great but I’ve learned to take that with a grain of salt. I love a good chicken fried steak. I’ll be running through there back and forth between El Reno and Amarillo for the next few days. May stop and eat there.

    Good! Most folks do not know about internet bot attacks. these "bots" can do everything from causing DDoS attacks against a website to false up or down votes on things like reviews. So dang many people out there that leave their computers open to these bots getting planted in them it is shameful. One guy that has it in for a business can go sit at his computer and cause hundreds if not thousands of bad reviews. NEVER trust online reviews unless you have inside knowledge of the business.

    Last ribeye I got there was good. Not great. Not bad. Just good. But I find their “hamburger steak” to be an excellent value for the money. Certainly better than most hamburger steaks you’ll get at other steak houses.

    They also have a full bar and some of the wait staff are easy to look at.

    You're joking? Big trucks are banned from that stretch. Most 4-wheelers can barely make some of those turns, plus the little burros everywhere.
