Tips for a Better Visit
Allow Time. On weekends, allow extra time for seating: one review records a 25-minute wait after a 15–20 minute estimate.
Check Doneness. Check your steak when it arrives and raise any doneness issue immediately, as reviews report both undercooked and overcooked steaks.
Try Ribeye. If choosing between the Dallas filet and Ft. Worth ribeye, one diner preferred the ribeye for its tenderness and buttery texture.
Order Buns. Start with the freshly baked bread and cinnamon butter, a recurring favourite that some diners specifically ask for more of.
Consider Lunch. Look for the lunch menu if value matters; diners specifically describe it as a good-value option.
Use Mall Parking. For a more convenient arrival, use the Dubai Festival City Mall parking, which one diner reported was free.

The Ft. Worth ribeye, Cowboy Cut Steak and sirloin all receive strong mentions, although steak doneness is not completely consistent.
The complimentary freshly baked bread with cinnamon butter is practically a feature in its own right. Diners also single out the Rack of Ribs, potato skins, mashed potatoes and seasoned rice. Portions are often described as generous, and one meal of sirloin and ribeye steaks with two sides and bottomless drinks was reported at 265 AED.
