This place is now called “Sheikh Steakhouse” for some reason you can’t find that name on google yet as it rebranded and reopened under the new name 16 days ago according to the staff.
It’s still the same owners as Sparks and apparently they own a few other restaurants.
I usually don’t go this far out of my way to leave a review and usually prefer to either leave a positive review if it is good and just not leave a review if it was nothing special. This place was so bad though, that I need to leave this review.
Was there with a large group of about 26 people so this isn’t just my feedback, but pretty unanimous from the whole group. Some of us sampled from each other so here goes…
Caesar salad, stale croutons and soggy lettuce. Sriracha chicken sandwich, came cold for everyone that ordered that. Beef ribs which I ordered, worst beef ribs I ever tried. Anywhere else I tried it, usually falls off the bone, here it was chewy. Ribeye steak, not terrible as far as tenderness goes, but lacking any flavor whatsoever. Striploin steak, extremely salty. Fries and roasted potatoes were decent. Lobster and shrimp, chewy as rubber. Various $10 mocktails, all watery and lacking flavor. Asked for bread, said they stopped serving it since covid, asked for pickles, also they don’t have any. Keep in mind this is a restaurant serving steak and burgers that doesn’t carry pickles or bread.
Service was friendly and accommodating, however when we expressed all of these concerns, they apologized but didn’t offer anything to make up for it. Not removing anything off the bill, not offering free dessert, drinks or coffee, no discount offered just offering to take the feedback into consideration. In fact what they did do was let us know that the undeserved tip was automatically included.
Save your money, even a fast food place such as Burger King would have been money...
Read moreWas a little disappointed with the over all service and wine. Manager served us because other servers were busy which I was ok with that.
The have 2 different sections here, Indian and steakhouse section.
We sat in the Indian section.
I wanted to order a glass of wine, and because I didn't see anything on the menu by the glass I asked the manager and he said "we do but not on the list" so I asked him if i could have a sample of the 2 that are sold by the glass and he said unfortunately they don't sample wines. I was confused by that answer. I then said to him how do I know if I will like it if I can't taste it? He replied "I'll set you up, and get you a taste" I chose the merlot, I asked for a 5 or 6 Oz and he told me they only have one size. 9oz I think so I got it.
Now we ordered our mains, lots to choose from Once we both ordered our meals and after 10 minutes the manager comes back to me and says because we are ordering off of to different menus is it ok that the. Medium steak would come out 5 to 10 minutes after my fiancé's dish? I replied, no its not ok. I would like to eat together with my spouse. He said ok, and walked away. Long story short, it came together.
Quality check came at the 3rd Last bite. Steak cooked Medium Rare. Still tasted good just to bloody.
I will probably not return here. There is more then...
Read moreAn over rated far over priced steak house.
Empty tables should have been the clue but I missed it. Service was absent probably due to boredom.
The setting: no bread and paper napkins in the restaurant that charges $60 for a steak. And don't expect the waiter to ask how dinner is because he doesn't.
The food: Ok. Two steaks were cooked as liked and their dinners were good.
Lobster Fettuccine was COMPLETELY without lobster. It was such a waste of money. The night was dampened by everything else it wasn't worth complaining.
The fourth meal was an altered pasta dish. I say altered because there are no vegetarian meals.
Sorry I have to edit the post. Dessert was chocolate cake. That is it. Take or leave it. We left it.
Bonus. NO coffee, espresso or cappuccino. Can you believe it! I've been to HoJos for a better time.
It is hard to recommend this place. The only positive was the two meat meals. But that is not enough to push it in the passing zone. Sorry it's not on my...
