---------------
Out of 5.
Location: 4. It was easy to get in the parking lot. It was in St. Paul. It wasn't in a sketch neighborhood. Parking = free. Only thing better is if where across the street from my townhome. Or someone's place anyway.
Service: 5 We were seated immediately(we also arrived at 4:45). The waitress was very attentive and filled our water frequently.
Menu Choices: 3 It is a steak house, you don't expect much on the menu. But there were only 8 things.
Price: 2 I ate steak. Took some home. It's a steak house. I paid 23.50. Not too bad for the amount of meat I got. Price doesn't compare to the Farmington Steakhouse though.
Atmosphere: 3 There is a picture of Joe Mauer. We did eat near a State Senator. Otherwise, nothing special.
TOTAL: 17

Would I eat there again? Sure. But not anytime soon, I want to go other places first, it wasn't super spectacular.

Ratings.(out of 5)
Difficulty in making(5 is easy): 4. Pretty darn easy. You do have to chop up some onion and celery. Really good recipe if you have chicken just hangning out. Otherwise it is dump and stir.
Healthiness(5 is really good): 3. Well Chicken/Turkey is good. If you use the Healthy Heart Cream of Mushroom Soup that's good. The only bad thing is the CHOW MEIN NOODLES. But there are a lot in this recipe so that is why it gets a 3.
Being able to make this on the Fly(5 is I always have the ingredients): 2 Who has chow mein noodles around??? They are really key to this recipe.
Tastiness(5 is really good): 4 . This was quite yummy. Not as fabulous as tator Tot Hotdish or Stroganoff
Leftoverness(5 is a lot and tasty day 2): 4 . This is a completely different food on day 2. It is super nummy. There is usually a lot left over if you make the above recipe for 2.
