By far, one of the best ribeyes I've ever had! The baked potato was almost too big for the plate! Everything was fresh and cooked to perfection. The waitstaff was delightful.

My first order was to go. I had read and heard about the Chicken Jockey so I had to try it. I got the dinner (that came with 5 pieces) baked potato, side salad and 2 dinner rolls with butter. I took one bite of the Chicken Jockey and my mouth started to water. It's the best chicken that I've eaten in a very long time. The portion is so generous that I got several meals out of it. I couldn't wait to eat my next meal. All of this delicious food cost me $16. I'm really looking forward to going back soon.
