Petey's II Restaurant

I haven't been here in years.  This is a restaurant with a huge menu that gives you lots of food for your money.  It isn't totally cheap though.  My wife and I had Chateaubriand once and the steak was well done and not fantastic.  The thing you should try here is the cheese burger.  I hear they freshly grind the meat from steak every day.  The burger meat was fantastic and it is served on toasted garlic bread.

Like this place and liked reading the reviews. People mentioned how this is a place for the older set ... and that is probably true but not a pejorative. When we went to Petey's II there were not a lot of younger people, and no little kids. There is really no food for the little ones and this place is just not set up for them. You also won't find a bunch of people in college T-shirts hanging around. The dress is a bit better, like golf shirt and slacks. That said, the food was good.

The food service harks back to another time. First a relish tray (sliced carrots, green onions, etc.), and then three salad dishes (cole slaw, macaroni salad, cucumber salad), then a salad or soup with your entree, then your entree, and finally coffee and a little dessert - all for one reasonable price. So what's not to like? You get a complete meal in a setting that is not a fast-food madhouse for a price that doesn't require you to take out a second mortgage. Pretty nice.

The special that night was pot roast, and it was excellent. I suspect sticking with the steaks and the specials is the way to go. A restaurant can't make everything perfect every night, but they can specialize in a few.

Drink service was also very nice and reasonably priced ... $6.50 for a brand name cocktail and $5.50 for a Bloody Mary - both nice generous drinks. Our waitress was on her game too. Every time we drive by Petey's II the parking lot is busy - now we know why.

Went here last night for a special occasion.  Was not impressed with the food. Ordered prime rib medium and it was VERY fatty and grizzly.  Was the worst I have had in a long time.   Salad was nothing special either.  Needless to say I will not be going back.
