Update 10/8/24:

Among THE very best steak tips I can get out at a restaurant, rather than making them myself. So many restaurants use poor quality meat imo... Not this place. The meat is high quality and the marinade and cooking are skillfully done. I only eat meat now for a weekly splurge and this is how I want to spend those prescious "meat dollars". The burger meat is also quite good. The rest of the time I really appreciate the black bean burger and fish tacos. And they always seem to have some nicely cooked vegetable available. The tot basket is fun and tasty. The beer selection is legit.

My wife and I at here again very recently and she got the steak tips for the first time and said they were excellent; again, high-quality meat and well-marinated. I had the black bean burger again and it was great; obviously home-made and not one of those "beyond meat" patties which has just about the same saturated fat as a regular burger. The place was hopping on a Friday night when we visited. Its obviously become a big neighborhood handout; mission accomplished, we really needed that.

One of my only complaints is that it is indeed quite noisy, despite some well-intentioned sound-dampening panels on the ceiling. Maybe putting some of those panels on the walls would help without detracting from the atmosphere. Also the tables inside are mostly high-tops which are not great for kids imo. Replacing some of those four-tops with regular height tables would address that.
