Stylish interior with lots of interesting details. The bar stools made from deer antlers alone are worth mentioning! The ribs, corn, potatoes, and tomato soup were all very tasty. Great beer, too. The service wasn’t very friendly. It might be more of a place for locals than for visitors from afar. Nice steak but served in winter on an ice-cold plate. Steak med rare as requested. Poppers nice but for me a bit more bite would be nice. Onion rings a bit dry inside pepper sauce could be a touch thicker. Paper serviettes a no-no for me when eating sticky food. Wife's pork fillet a bit ho-hum and the cheese not properly melted onto the meat. She gave that a 5/10. Potato wedges were soft not crisp and the coleslaw had no raisins or any real flavour just cabbage carrot and some mayo. For the price there should have been chips included with my steak. Nice ambience tho with the western decor. I think the franchise owner perhaps got his ideas from the Spur chain in South Africa. For an evening I teleported to America. I have to say that the ultimate best part of this experience was the ability to be able to throw my peanut shells on the floor without repercussions from management! It felt almost like they would frown at you if you didn’t. The waiter was slightly disappointed when someone at the table ordered tea for dessert - only fair! No cowboys can rule the west with just earl grey in their stomachs! Loved the whole experience. Great staff. The portion sizes are quite big, but they anticipated that by offering a doggy bag. Only slight complaint I have is that the spicy ribs I ordered weren't spicy at all. Taste was still good. A tasty meal, delivered to the least likely of places. The food was great, fresh and delichious, perhaps specially because of how the burgers were served; the bread and vegetables readily built, but with the separate, to keep both warm, but keep the juicy from making the crisp vegetables and fresh from becoming soggy on the way. Superb solution! Will be happy to try them again! This restaurant is a bitter disappointment, which is a shame because the was excellent. Unfortunately, the management fails when it comes to guests who are not local. We ate there on Wednesday, October 1, 2025. It started with the manager (who had identified us as non-Dutch tourists) asking us very unfriendly and harshly whether we had a reservation, which we did not. However, the restaurant was only a quarter full, and no more guests arrived later on. We were eventually assigned a table, not the best one, but that was acceptable. We then ordered two steaks with side dishes (one of which was grilled vegetables) from the very friendly and helpful waitress. The food arrived relatively quickly and looked fresh and appetizing. The was excellent, even though it wasn't quite medium-rare as ordered, but that wasn't a problem. This became apparent when we ate the grilled vegetables. My partner had a 30 cm tuft of hair with knots in her food and choked on it. We complained about this. We were offered tea to soothe our throats. However, we were expected to pay for this ourselves. Only after my partner asked several times did the manager agree not to charge us for it. As a gesture of goodwill, the inedible grilled vegetables were also removed from the bill. We then finished our and wanted to pay. Unfortunately, despite repeated requests, the manager did not deign to speak to us. He refused to see us, claiming he was too busy to deal with such a trifling matter. It should be noted that he was busy with the Dutch guests the whole time. The gentleman we paid told us that he was actually kitchen staff and that normally the manager would always take care of the cash register himself. We invite the reader to form their own opinion. In any case, this restaurant is not recommended (at least for American-German tourists, in our experience) as long as this manager is in charge. Everyone should make up their own mind, but in any case, we only give it 1 star. It was by far the unfriendliest management we have ever encountered in Europe. The atmosphere is amazing! So much decoration and theming. All the waiters are in the theme it's super well made. The speribs were okay but nothing too special. I would recommend this place! Great atmosphere, very helpful staff, good service and great steaks. But also their other dishes and sides are finger licking good. Very surprised to find some local craft beer as well.
