Traveling through the area and stopped for lumper! The gator tail was absolutely the most tender that I have ever eaten. The salmon blackened was very good also. If we are ever traveling through this area I would most definitely stop and eat there again

I was quite surprised how good all of our dinners were being the fact that I didn’t care much for the old golden corral. I’m not much of a buffet person. We had prime rib, fried fish dinner and a baked fish dinner, which all were excellent and perfectly cooked. The restaurant had a nice atmosphere and very clean along with excellent and friendly service. We will definitely return.

Stopped here for the first time on a Friday at 6 p.m., and the place was packed. Short wait for a table, but quickly waited on by Allie. Ruby had the butterflied shrimp with a salad and mac & cheese. I went with the usual French Onion Soup, Prime Rib medium rare, and a loaded baked potato with a side of sautéed mushrooms. It seemed to take a bit longer for the entrees to come out, but that may be because of the negative entertainment distraction: a young girl nearby who was noisy and standing on the table at one point. The Hop Life draft from LaBelle Brewery was excellent, as was the food. I liked that the bread in the soup was cubed, which made it easier to eat. We will be back!

I never dreamed in a million years I would be giving you this chain of five star review.. this is something different altogether. The model here is a cook to order model but only the salad bar in soup remaining buffet style. Everything was prepared perfectly, even with some local dishes added. The service was impeccable and the place meticulously clean. Have to give credit where credit is due when doing reviews. 10/10

Absolutely amazing restaurant. The steaks were cooked to perfection. Everything was nice and clean. Not to mention the amazing staff. I would highly recommend this restaurant and I wish we had one back home.

First time at a GC Grill House. Our waitress was great! The food was decent, a little pricey for what it was. I would go back if in the area again.
