Nice rustic American southwestern style restaurant. Lots of cool cowboys and Indians themed decor on the walls. The menu has alot of tasty looking items. My wife had the bbq chicken burger, kids had various items from the kids menu which was generously portioned. I opted for the chilli cheese burger, after talking with the very friendly waitress. I couldn't decide between the full rack of ribs or the burger, she told me both were pretty good in her opinion, however she stated the chili was AMAZING. I took that with a grain of salt.... being born and raised in the Southerner and North Eastern United States, I know my chilli, and in 12yrs of living in the UK I have not had a single chili that was anywhere near "meh it's ok" let alone AMAZING! But I decided to give it a go... She asked me if I wanted it spiced up a little, so I said sure, why not. Well, I'll be completely honest, the burger itself was definitely in the top 5 best burgers I've had in the UK in 12yrs and the chili easily ranks as THE BEST I've ever had in this country! Full of flavor (the right kinds) not dripping with grease, and just the right amount of heat to make your forehead sweat, but not enough to burn the roof off your mouth off. Next time I'll try the actual bowl of chilli. But for now, after a week on the IOW.... By far this was the best meal I had.

Apsolutly brilliant. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and always with a smile. The steaks, where to start, I had the 24oz ribeye m/r and it was cooked to perfection and plenty there to chips soft yet crunchy, very large onion rings were beautiful and a small salad. I'm a picky person and I can't think of a single thing I would change. The wife was really happy with hers aswel. Great atmosphere, nice friendly place you could bring the kids if you wanted, they would love the decorations around the place. We look forward to going back. Didn't cost as much as I thought it was going to. Oh and it's really nice to go to a steak house that actually serves propper peppercorn sauce.

The food wasn't bad. The only problem is that they had "Buffalo Wings" on the menu but it said underneath "our tasty wings in a sticky BBQ sauce". That doesn't make any sense. Are they Buffalo or BBQ. I asked the waitress who told me that's what Americans call BBQ wings. I tried correcting her but she wouldn't have it. Buffalo wings are wings smothered in Buffalo sauce. The hot sauce that was invented in Buffalo in New York state. Frank's sauce for example. It's not BBQ. There are Wing Festivals dedicated to who makes the best buffalo wing. I know because I've been. None of them are BBQ. Only BBQ wings are BBQ. Apart from that, it was very nice. I didn't have the wings in the end.

What a little gem this place is. Really enjoyed our evening meal here. We had the combo for starters. More than enough for two , with good appetites. I'm so glad I choose the smallest steak for main course. All the food was cooked to perfection and the waitress informed us that it's all local produce. Small, cosy premises which was lovely. Such a great change from the normal chain restaurants that fill our towns and cities. Will definitely dine here again next time we're in the Isle of Wight.

Welcoming and cozy western themed restaurant tucked away in Castle Street at the bottom of Union Street in Ryde. I had the Nachos starter with chilli and cheese which was really tasty. Then followed up with the special mixed grill with spiced fries, side salad and a side of onion rings, all cooked to preference and really enjoyable. Introduced by a friend at work, it's a great find and would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a good meal and that little something different. 5*

We love visiting The Alamo, I'm coeliac and I get to have chips 🙌🏻 yay. The chips here are absolutely gorgeous too. It was a Monday evening and the place was quietly buzzing. There were a couple of family parties and others enjoying their nights out. Very nice atmosphere about the place. I enjoyed the rump steak, chips and salad, and my son had chilli con carne. Both very enjoyable meals indeed. The staff lovely. Very helpful. Will definitely come back on another visit to the island.
