Believe all the positive reviews. We were looking for someplace for steak and salad bar. The salad bar was super fresh, well stocked and had a really good selection. One of the better salad bars we have had. Staff was super friendly and very prompt. We had Neal, he was great and very knowledgeable. We ordered the filet mignon and the marinated pork chop. The pork chop was extremely tender and grilled to perfection. The filet was cooked properly and had just the right amount of char. Great atmosphere, great food and great staff. We will be back!!

My girlfriend and I had dinner here for her birthday. We both had prime rib and it melted in our mouths. Our waiter was awesome, very courteous and friendly. He even fixed her up with a complimentary birthday dessert.

My husband and I were there for Valentine Day dinner. We are new to the area. We have been for 3 months. We were in the early group that opened the doors. It was very busy but the staff seemed to keep up pretty much. We got our drinks, salad, and appetizer quickly. The dinner, not so much. We saw a table for 6 get their meals first and appetizers later. As well as another couple who were seated after us. We did get an apology from the waiter for the delay. We also had a problem with the stuffed mushrooms being not very hot. Now the food was outstanding, when we started on the main course, we knew what we came for. We did not complain and are not ones to make a scene. I am glad we didn’t. We will be back for more of the kitchen delights and hope for the service to be better. Thank You.

Very nice and formal place for dinner. Our waiter was really new to his position, but he was very well trained. He had forgotten a beverage for us, and we didn’t receive it until we were nearly finished. He compensated by removing it from our tab, so that was nice. I will say that the complimentary salad bar could be set up better.

We’ve loved this place for 40 years!!! The food is awesome, the service is the best, and they have the best salad bar I’ve ever eaten. The veggies are fresh, crisp, and I usually make a meal just from this! We’ve dined there on special occasions, Mother’s Day,and during the week, they have a fantastic $10 lunch. Great food! Great service! Nice people!

We held our son’s wedding rehearsal dinner here (40 people) and it was amazing!!! The food was and service was fantastic. We were able to add decorations to the room and the night was just magical. The owner, Missy Bragg, was so kind and helpful and made us feel at home. I highly recommend using the Crown Sterling! It is amazing!!!!

With an amazing salad bar, this place has been my favorite place in town for a steak. Sadly, this Saturday will be their final day of operation. They will be missed not only by myself, but by a countless number of area residents.

My family was there this past weekend on Saturday night. The meal was very good, steak delicious as usual. The one exception was the wine parfait, which I always look foward to enjoying. It was a great disappointment. The sauce had no taste and the ice cream had an excessive amount of large pieces of chocolate chips. U must have changed your recipe. Service was poor also. The restaurant was extremely busy but was obviously under staffed. I will never come back in December on a weekend. We were celebrating a birthday and had reservations. Very disappointing for an expensive meal.
