Lotawata Creek Restaurant Review

As their t-shirts say "This is not a chain restaurant." Lotawata Creek is located in Fairview Heights, IL. They are famous for their delicious steaks and their huge portion sizes. People drive for an hour or more just to eat there.

We went to Lotawata for dinner the other night, but it wasn't quite as good as usual. The ambiance was the same as always; country music playing in the background, cheerful wait-staff, and their steak house stuff (deer antlers on the wall, etc). 

The food just wasn't as great as I know it can be. The steak was good, but not phenomenal. The baked potato was a little smaller then usual. The broccoli was saturated with lemon and a little on the chilly side. 

I was just bummed. I have never had a bad meal there before. And, while I will say that it was bad by Lotawata's standards, it is still better then Outback, Lonestar, or any of the other chain restaurants. So I will go back.
