  My husband DRAGGED me here! We only live 30 minutes away, but I'm not into places that don't have windows-you go to windowless places for strippers; not strip steak, right!? WOW, I was amazed as to how good the food was! I had the filet. It was cooked exactly as ordered. My baked potato was great, except that it was beyond weird to be having a steak and get sour cream in individual packets, like you get at Wendy's fast food chain. The salad bar was such a nice surprise with all the homemade salads. The pasta salad as well as the potato salad with the little smokies are my favorites! I can't wait to go back! We went @ 6pm on a Thursday night and we got right in; no waiting, as had anticipated.
  
  Alcohol was inexpensive, food was inexpensive.
  
  The decor of plastic checkered table cloths made me laugh, but it just adds to the charm of the place.

  Food is amazing. On Saturday nights (and Fridays too during Lent), they have an all-u-can-eat shrimp special around $20. You can choose fried or boiled. Boiled are my fave; they are huge, like prawns, and delicious! The waffle fries are delish too. And the bartender makes a tasty Bloody Mary. One drawback, you must have a membership to order alcohol, but you can purchase one when you're there. The steaks are very good, along with the salad, baked potato, and roll. Highly recommend!

  My husband and I make it a point to drive the two hours from Lawrence, Ks down to this place every 2-3 months. We LOVE the steaks! From ribeyes, strips and filets to their huge "Butt club for two" ... You'll be impressed with the food! The building, the parking lot, the decor ... Not so much.  As an added bonus ... The long islands are darn good and only cost $5.
  
  I'm a fan of their salad bar, too!  Tons of homemade salads ranging from garlic slaw, a pasta stylr salad with ramen noodles and a chunky potato salad with little smokies.

  I don't even remember why we decided to go here, but I'm glad we did!
  
  This is def a dive! Small town in the middle of nothing.
  
  Plastic table clothes. Old time dining room. Honestly I wasn't expecting much. I had heard the steaks were good.
  
  I went for the fillet. Surprisingly awesome! Wrapped in a tasty crispy bacon. Nicely cooked. Possibly aged beef. Maybe 28 days.. Maybe... I have to say.... pretty darn good! A hot baked potato.
  
  I have been dying to get back to this steak place.. and so should you!

  Wow! This place is really good. We were passing through and stopped. The steak was one of the best I have ever had. It was called the Butt Sirloin. The prices were fair. They do not take credit cards. Cash or check. The decor is really dated, it adds to the charm. The servers where nice and the manager lady was nice and came over and offered travel suggestions. I believe the steak was cooked over an open flame. The char on the steak was just right. I ordered medium  rare and it was perfect. So many times, I have been to a steakhouse only to be disappointed, as I feel I could have done better at home (I am an avid griller), but this steak was better. Wow! The place really is like 1972 inside. The smoke wafting out of the stack on top drew me in. We were at the gas station next door. The parking lot was full and there was no wait for a table. My little girls cheeseburger tasted like real grilled meat! I loved the place, too bad it's so far from home!
  
  Everyone was watching my baby eat watermelon, every server stopped by to say hello!  
  
  Highly recommended! Excellent! Don't let the dated decor dissuade you it's worth it! Love it!
