Hoss's Steak and Sea House — Restaurant in Vernon Township

Well has this place changed from the last time we had been there. Sadly. :-( I was expecting a little more. It's gone up in price too. Me getting a Delmonico with the salad bar was $29 plus five dollars more! As my side I ordered mashed potatoes , and wasn't told they were out of them until it was too late , so I subbed out a baked potato . I think the server should have come back and told me that before my food arrived. The tomato bisque soup was very good, the other soups were very lacking, I tasted my husband's and my sons different ones. The salad bar was just okay, and we couldn't seem to time it right to get more than one piece of the garlic bread. Hoss's used to have a really nice bread selection and that was something we enjoyed. They only had an empty garlic bread in and some raisin bread. Honestly, the service by our particular waitress was not at all good. Trust me, my family has both owned restaurants and me and my husband long ago were servers in different places. So I get it. But some things were just not excusable . But this is about the food not one particular server I guess. Just as a quick though,our finished plates from the salad bar and soup, sat at the end of our table throughout our whole dinner. As people walk by I really feel they should take them away , clearing to make for a nicer table instead of a cluttered one. We did tip our 20% that not a penny more. My son's steak was very much overcooked... he ordered mid rare, and my Delmonico was very good, and that I hate hate hate to send anything back, everyone at the table insisted I did, it came very rare when I ordered mid rare. Something good though when I did tell the server who brought it, probably just a runner, she was very sweet and it came back very quick and then was done correctly! Yay! I'm glad my husband and the others had me send it back. but with that, it had zero seasoning on it, so I added a little salt. Sorry if this sounds rather Grim but we won't be choosing that as an...

Everything was absolutely great! I'm not positive but I believe our servers name is Sam....and her service exceeded our expectations. She was friendly, very knowledgeable of all their products and able to answer all our questions. It's been a few years since we last ate at hosses so we had plenty of questions and she not only answered them all she explained in detail and was very patient. Each and everything we ordered and ate (which was ALOT!!!) was also as amazing as the service. I mentioned earlier that its been a few years since we last ate at hosses and there was a reason for that. We lived in grove city for quite a few years and we frequented the bosses in grove city and I can say every dinning experience at the grove city bosses was beyond less than desirable. The staff was rude and its obvious none of them liked their job let alone was knowledgeable. I get not everyone in life likes their job but at the very least you accepted the position of that job so no matter what you like or don't like shouldn't interfere with doing your job properly as expected...yes Meadville exceeded our expectations but I don't think it too much to expect at a minimum to do the basic job. On top of the staff at grove city the food wasn't fit for my dog to eat....we talked to managers a few times who apparently didn't care and we kept going back hoping for a change that never came so needless to say we stopped going. We've moved since then and my daughter lives in Meadville so we decided to give it another try. Best decision we made. Hosses....you have an amazing operation going on in your Meadville restaurant and I know it takes a team to make that happen. You should be very proud of them and I'd hope you at least pass on positive comments to the staff cuz unfortunately in life it seems much easier to pass along criticism rather than...

While driving back from Florida ("You folks doin' OK?") my wife and I stopped here ("You folks doin' OK?") for lunch. We both ordered ("You folks doin' OK?") steaks. The food came very quickly, ("You folks doin' OK?") quicker than I thought possible ("You folks doin' OK?") for steaks. We both found our ("You folks doin' OK?") steaks to be very tough and gristly and way undercooked for medium. The side potato was about the size of a tennis ball. While I ("You folks doin' OK?") pondered why a ribeye steak would have ("You folks doin' OK?") so much uneatable sinewy parts, I remembered reading about "Frankensteaks" where ("You folks doin' OK?") they would take chunks of waste meat and glue it ("You folks doin' OK?") together using transglutaminase, turning scraps into steaks. All while we were talking, the waitress kept interrupting us every 2 minutes with "You folks doin' OK?". Honestly. Go away and let us eat our meals in peace. The steaks were about the toughest we ever had, unusual for ribeye steaks, unless it wasn't real...
