"Just had the most amazing steak dinner! It was practically melting in my mouth, and the sides were simple but perfect. The place was packed, so clearly it's a local favorite. The staff was super friendly and helpful too. Highly recommend checking it out!"

"Came here to celebrate my 40th birthday. This was my first time here. We parked on the street you will have to circle the block to find it. We sat inside our waiter Stephen was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu and drinks. We ordered a bottle of champagne from New Zealand and it was delicious. For appetizers we ordered the biscuits with pimento cheese, the liver bread and the cob salad. It was delicious and the bacon just melted in my mouth. The salad does come with a lot of dressing so would suggest half the size. Everything was shareable sizes as well. For our main course we got the wagyu steak medium rare and a sirloin medium rare, potatoes and creamy spinach. The food was delicious. For desert we ordered the toasted marshmallow ice cream and the ginger snickerdoodle cookies. They ask brought it out with a candle and 3 mini cake pops. The cake pops were chocolate and very rich as well. Service was a 10/10 highly recommend to come the meat is also from a local farm in Maryland as well."

"Don’t skip desert! The deserts are all made in house. Our table ordered all of them and everyone was happy they did! The waitress mentioned they have some seasonal desserts coming soon and we will be back to try them. We had the lunch menu, which offers a smaller selection of entrees and steaks. Everything we tried was excellent! However, the buttermilk biscuits were a highlight of the whole meal."

"As a southern native, I prefer softer biscuits, but everything else was stellar. Overpriced? Probably, but it was delish. I would absolutely return. I went again for lunch on Friday and the steak was definitely not as good. I asked for garlic butter, but I do not think that was what it was missing. Disappointed by that, but the sandwich was pretty much the same and we got to sit inside where the decor is nice."

"Excellent place to get a steak. The steak is best in class, literally melts in your mouth. The sides are good too even if the options are not the most varied. You can see by the number of people there that it is an extremely popular place for a good reason. The staff is kind and helpful. All in all a superb dining experience. Definitely recommend."
