Room temperature dinner. Bad service. A waste of time. An old restaurant that is way past it's time and needs to close. Knock it down and replace with a parking lot

I've only lived in Canyon Country for 4yrs and have been here twice but I love it. I love how the location is a little hidden. The place is a nice size, not too big, a very homey feel. The food is great! Just love the atmosphere. I think I'm going to start coming in more often. Porter House and Famous Potato are a great choice.

It was my first time, but I'm so happy I don't care if I have to drive 1 hour under the rain. I really enjoy the place, food and service.

This place hasn't changed in years since our last visit. Still good food and good service, the service was great, and the pork ribs were tasty! Good deals on wine also! Next time in Santa Clarita, we will definitely be back yet again!

Love this place, old school vibe and service is excellent always. However, it’s a little pricey but worth it. Steaks are always perfect and the seafood is just okay. Drinks are nice and strong if you need a quick buzz.
