Paid $42 for a eye fillet st. George, and recieved a small burned barely medium (asked for med. Rare) piece of meat on my plate.
Had a clearly frozen over night circle of butter and garlic plopped on top like it was suppose to somehow disguise the fact that steak I was gonna pit in my mouth wasn't a forgotten mistake
The garlic n butter itself was tasteless, actually tasted like water, possibly something to do with it defrosting over my charred steak. How do you mess up something you sell for 40 bucks? Why don't you care? Even my Kirkpatricks bacon were burnt.. Old staff waitress maybe manager

My partner and I stayed a night at the motel and had dinner, the food was average at best and the rooms are not great, the bed and pillows were hard as a rock literally. Customer service was ok.
