2/13/26 – Went in the Bar Area for Social Hour Specials. The service was terrible. Asked for bread 3 times from two different people & never received the bread. Shared their Oysters – were mediocre. Food was just ok nothing special & had to request for a glass of Sav. Blanc 3 times before it came.

We will NEVER go back to this Flemings Again. Been have been here before & had a better experience than this one.

Q- Each Q had: Libations: Social Hour drink: TIME IS HONEY – Maker’s Mark bourbon, lemon, honey syrup, Luxardo cherry. Tasted like flavored water.

Appetizer: FRESH OYSTERS – flown in daily, served with house-made mignonette- mediocre.

Q- shared: FLEMING’S PRIME STEAKHOUSE SLIDERS – Wisconsin cheddar cheese, red onion confit, Campari tomato, black garlic aioli, Fleming’s butter pickles. Nothing special just average.

Q-tips say: Everything Was Just Average.

Mr. Q had a Margarita & cup of Clam Chowder soup & Blackened Fish.

Mrs. Q had: An Old Fashion & Caesar Salad & Meatloaf with mashed potatoes.

Was our first visit & Not sure if we will go back again to Peppercorns.

1/21/26 – Fried Chicken & St. Louis Ribs. Served with sides.

Q-Tips say: Never Again. The salad bar was ok- many items to make your salad. The Sides were plentiful BUT the FRIED CHICKEN was very greasy & some pieces were burned on the bottom.

However, on the positive side: If you are constipated, go and eat the Chicken. The next day everything will come out fine.
