Carlos was the best server over. The food was good, and the ambiance was great as well.

Update: If you like Masapan snacks, you'll love this Masapan Cheesecake. It's served with raspberry syrup, fresh fruit, and extra crumble. I ordered mine to go, so I'm enjoying it the day after my visit.

Good food but pricey. The have a wonderful cauliflower stake for vegetarians and vegans. Friendly staff but they make you guilty if you say u want to pay a tip less than 15% hence the 4 stars. Tips should be earned not demanded.

Revisit the restaurant and The experience In Great America here is still good.
The pan is always tender and awesome
I wish we can take out the pan
The corn soup served in the bread, and it can be eaten whole bread bowl.
Shrimp and lobster are great choice as well here

————————————————
The grilled chicken is juicy.
Caesar salad is yummy.
The bread is tender and delicious and the mojito is strong and good tasty.
The only thing not so perfect is the price is a little bit expensive.

Go here for the ribs and service.

I was disappointed with the burger (seemed like a cheap frozen burger) and the strudel desert was served frozen in the middle.

However they are named Texas Ribs so they do serve pretty tasty ribs. Our waiter was also friendly and chatty so it's 3/5

Their service is excellent, food is great too. If you're really hungry get the boneless chicken wings or the mozzarella cheese sticks as appetizers. The monster burger is one of the best burgers I've ever had. Their ribs are good too. Highly recommend this place.
