Seems like a fun place, a bit nostalgic, but past that, not a great experience. The booth seats had zero cushion left. There were some food mishaps which I understand being a busy friday night. I ordered the tugboat and tots. I ate half the sandwich and maybe 5 tots. I rarely ever throw away half a meal. It was not good.

Food is good, but sorry… WAY overpriced. Only hit the deals or skip this place. The bill for two chicken tender meals, two beers and one root beer was nearly $55!

Sloppy Joes only $2! That’s right 2 bucks!! They were astronomical. I just wish I could get the recipe. The waitresses are great she was right there with our pop and next thing you know right there with our Sloppy Joes! My husband had 2 and I wish I would have! Next time. They always have a $2 special and better food on special for a reasonable price. I love this place!

Stopped in for lunch, first time I’ve ever been to steamboat. The food was amazing! I would highly recommend the hot beef or the Philly cheesesteak. Karla was our waitress, from one server to another, she is truly spectacular!! We will be back for the food and for Karla!
