Reviews
The interior is fixed up very nice with a western theme.
Our food was good, my wife and I both had the BBQ Basket and enjoyed it. The brisket and pulled pork both had good flavor.
We did have to wait quite a while on our food which I felt could’ve been quicker, however we will likely be back in the future.
The service was very good. The hostess could be a supermodel, hehe My server, Michaela (sp?), was cute, nice, and friendly. She did a good job helping me decide on what to order since it was my first time there. She recommended the spiced apples as a side item for my entree. I’m glad she did because they were amazing. I was hoping for a wild game entree, but they weren’t offering any right now. So, I selected the whole catfish. I got the mashed redskin potatoes and the spiced apples. The entree also came with a soup or salad. Everything was really good. I’ll definitely stop again whenever freight sends me this way to try their wild game options. Same with their steaks or prime rib.
Our server was very attentive and polite. She got our drink order right away and took our food order shortly after when we were ready. We got our food order in a reasonable amount of time.
I got the tenderloin sandwich w/a side of sautéed mushrooms to add to my sandwich and fries. The sandwich was delicious and the mushrooms added to the flavor. The fries were excellent as a side to this sandwich.
We will for sure be back. I 100% recommend Dusty Trails.
The service was good, just a little long waiting. First for drinks, then appetizers then for dinner and even longer for more drinks.
We ordered a Pork Chop(quite dry) for myself and my husband ordered 2 appetizers for his meal, 1/2 orders of Rocky Mountain oysters and Deep Fried Chicken Gizzards. The menu doesn’t specify that 2 sides come with my meal, so I had fries and seasonal vegetables which was 98% baby carrots. A little disappointing.
I also had a choice of salad or soup. The salad was very fresh and delicious.
The gizzards and oysters were quite overdone, but maybe that’s how they’re supposed to be?
Overall, decent but not great.
Plentiful parking and handicap accessible.
The decorations are pretty elaborate. There is a lot of Chuck Testa on the walls. The music is a bit loud, but the softer songs are just right. I get the menu and immediately see it’s a bit pricey.
I don’t walk into a steakhouse and not order a steak; it’s literally my favorite food. This is where things get wonky. The steak is something like $34, which, to be honest, is going rate these days; however, they don’t have baked potatoes. Now, a steakhouse with no baked potatoes automatically loses points. But okay. I get the vegetable medley, mashed potatoes, and the ribeye. It comes with soup.
The soup is good but comes in this tiny bowl. The steak is sizable but has a fair amount of gristle. The mashed potatoes are just okay. They are certainly not homemade because for that, you actually need a real potato, and as I said, they don’t have that. The vegetable medley isn’t a very generous portion.
I would have been much more enthusiastic about giving a review if the portions were more generous, but as I said, they were not. I have seen better, and I have seen worse. But the real story of this place lies in the buildings around it.
Two truck stops are side by side along this steakhouse. One used to have a very nice little diner that everyone liked, but it closed and is now a Church’s Chicken and a Subway. McDonald’s swooped in and set up along the highway. The other truck stop is falling apart and serves gas station food.
Soon, all these unique places are going to turn into fast food joints and Cracker Barrel. America is becoming worse every day as private equity moves in to consume us all.
If you want to survive, be human beings. Offer generous portions and charge a fair price.
Patronize the weird and the wonderful. Take a risk. Go somewhere different. Even if it isn’t perfect, embrace the imperfection—even if it doesn’t have a real baked potato.
Happy 4th of July
