Review of Dillon Cattle Company

We will have to go back again and give this place ...

We will have to go back again and give this place another try. I feel like our visit today may not have had the A-Team on shift. When we walked in our hostess was less than friendly.. maybe because it was 3pm and she left shortly after we arrived. But she barely made eye contact and had no smile or interest in us. After we were seated by the new hostess, our waitress Jocelyn (I think), arrived to go over the menu and take our orders. She did a pretty good job seeing as she was working the floor by herself. On to the food! Our spinach artichoke dip with tortilla chips was unappealing and not fresh. Some of the chips were stale and the dip almost reminded us of the TGI Fridays' version but not as good. Chef Mike (microwave) overcooked it this time. I don't mean that as an insult, I'm fine if it was microwave prepared, but it was not presentable or tasty. Our entrees looked much better! We both had house salads and fully-loaded baked potatoes. We did ask for more ranch because the salads were pretty big. The potato was delicious, but our meat lacked flavor. My wife had the porterhouse porkchop and added grilled onions and mushrooms. She said most of the flavor cane from the small dollop of garlic butter. My medium-well ribeye was not med-well from end to end, and it definitely needed more flavor. Taking into consideration that steak houses have to accommodate many different palates, a little more sea salt, cracked pepper, and garlic powder during cooking would go over just fine. Positive notes: Jocelyn kept us hydrated with lemonade and water. She was great at small talk even though she was super busy, and our strawberry cheesecake was delicious. We will be back, we'll just plan our visit later in the evening next time.
