"I am submitting this review after visiting this location several times (I think 5) to make sure things we didn't like on the first visit were not isolated indecencies. I've concluded that this RAM location has bad service and sub-par food. Service: every time we have visited it has taken at least 10 minutes to be greeted by a server, regardless of how busy the restaurant was. On our most recent visit, I got a side salad, but didn't have any silverware. We watched our server stand and talk to people (who I'm assuming they knew) at another table for ten minutes while we tried to flag them down. We also witnesses other tables having difficulty getting a server's attention. Atmosphere: I DO NOT recommend visiting this location within an hour of closing. On our last visit we were sat at 6:45 but were reminded that the restaurant closes at 8 by the hostess. No big deal but we were surprised that we were reminded so early. Turns out last call for food AND drinks was 7:15! By 7:30 all staff were putting up chairs and doing closing procedures instead of tending to customers. I understand wanting to leave work at a decent time, but it really feels like you're being pushed out of the restaurant before they even close. We have experienced this on more than one occasion. Food: the food is sub-par compared to other RAM locations. On this most recent visit I got a burger that had fried jalapenos and cheese sauce. The jalapenos were rock hard and the sauce was obviously not fresh because it had a crust on topfrom sitting too long. It was not appetizing to look at and didn't taste great. Bottom line: we had high hopes for this restaurant, as we live nearby, but are disappointed. We will be patronizing other restaurants in the area instead."

"Wow, our experience certainly didn’t live up to the hype we’ve seen in other reviews. First, we walked in and the place was empty at 6PM on a Friday night. We stood gazing at the empty dining room and spotted two people at a table playing cards. Turns out those were the employees ignoring the fact that we just walked in. We stated we had a reservation and they seemed surprised. We we told to we could sit anywhere so we grabbed a table by the fire which was cozy. It went down hill from there, mostly small stuff like ordering water with no lemon which was ignored. Then we realized the menu was far from the one we had seen online. I’ll chock this up to Covid fallout and us not ensuring we were on the official La Cantera site. Once we got acclomated to the menu, which was pretty limited to sandwiches, we ordered the brisket sandwich and the all American burger. Despite asking to hold the onions, there they were on my burger. The brisket appeared to be roast meat, but it’s possible they did some magical transformation that managed to reduce the texture and flavor of an amazing brisket down to mere roast meat. Then there was the Garlic Parmesan fries it turns out their idea of Garlic Parmesan fries is to pour nacho cheese on fries. When asked if we got the right fries, the waitress just said, that’s the way we have always served them — like I’m supposed to know that this high priced restaurant serves the same **** the local roast beef diner has for 1/3 the price, under a different name. That all said, the roast sandwich and the burger were decent not an $18 burger for sure, but decent compared to others serving a $12 equivalent. Needless to say, we were generally disappointed and won’t be back not because of the food that was just okay, not because of the limited menu, but more because of the service. This place sells itself as an upscale sports bar and neither the ambience or service meets that expectation."
