For more than 35 years, this steakhouse has taken pride in its renowned selection of succulent steaks and chops. Trademark dishes include tender, slow roasted prime rib and broiled pork chops, but the wonderfully crisp and plump fried jumbo gulf shrimp, featuring a spicy signature cocktail sauce, is also a knockout.
