The Embers

I was meeting with a contractor and he said he knew of a a place with the best steak sandwich to which he had been coming since the 80's. He had not been there for many years but looked promising as we were promptly taken to our table. Service was excellent. We got the food pretty fast and I had noticed they had a wood burning oven so not sure if the steaks are also cooked in there but just looked cool. Steak looked great when it arrived and was cooked properly , medium, as I like. It was flavorful, cooked nicely, and tender but the trimming was not right. Nice New York steak shall have some fat that if rendered well melts in your mouth but I took a bite that I chewed and chewed and could not break down or swallow. I had to spit that out in a napkin so that was not great. My fries were ok not great so they could improve on the quality of their meat and fries. Not the best steak sandwich or the worst one I have had. For the prize it was fine but I was underwhelmed as my expectations where to high coming in, that's my fault not theirs, I guess.....Service: 5Food: 3Ambiance: 4

Literally ordered a breakfast burrito from this place and they sent a tortilla. Would not recommend.Updated with receipt since owner is gas lighting

12/26/24 Placed an order through Door Dash for the steak and eggs hash browns crispy eggs sunny side up English muffin grits and orange juice. Did not receive my grits and orange juice called the restaurant immediately@7:09 lady answered I addressed my concerns regarding my missing items her response was "they have 3/4 workers that's making food she's not sure who didn't include my missing items and to contact Door Dash so that I can get a refund" the presentation of the food was horrible my hash browns were far from crispy if anything soggy from the steak being thrown on top of them and salty...UGH!!!!!!

Updating to respond to owner. That's great that it's about customer service and good food. But, maybe you should check in on the values of your staff. Or maybe you need to pay better? Because they're very very concerned about tips. As a waitress myself, I pride myself on customer service and treat everyone with the same respect- whether they leave a tip or not.

Came here for breakfast, the overall experience is great as always. The servers are like family very welcoming. The smell of food is all over like a home. Come try this place.

$50 for two rib dinners, including the coldest, stale, french fries and two cold pieces of bread. Are you kidding me? Never again!!

If you are white or any other race you are treated first class. We experienced racism and they made it obvious. Also they let someone other than us go first even after seeing us waiting. We got there first and ordered. The other table got served before we did. When asked where is our food made excuse. I definitely don't recommend it very rude and unhelpful. I don't recommend going there. I never went back!

They have the best turkey club, cheeseburger, steak sandwich & ribs!! Cooks are very nice!

2/21/2025, I ordered a breakfast burrito and hash browns to include biscuits and gravy delivered via DoorDash. The bland taste of the burrito was acceptable however I could not consume the greasy oily hash browns. For my next order here, I will dine in and order a steak and eggs. These guys can present a better meal than this. I gave them 5 stars but I'm disappointed.

My family said they had been here & it was good. It had been years since we ate here because that experience was not good. So we spontaneously stopped in. I haven't had a patty melt in years & decided to go for it. That was the worst excuse of a so-called patty melt ever. I took 2 bites & tried to just eat the cold stale frozen skinny fries, I just pushed the plate away. No rye bread, plain, random sourdough that was slightly toasted, a tasteless piece of meat with this white cheese, like the plastic individually wrapped cheese. No grilled onions although the server asked & I said yes. And the dill pickle which had always been a signature & delicious with a patty melt was missing. It was a disaster! The server should've told me they were out of rye bread. Never, ever going back. Bathrooms were dirty & there is 0 charm or ambiance. There's so many better restaurants than to waste your money & eating out enjoyment here.
