Restaurants near Friendship Park

The various meats here are outstanding. Today (Christmas) they seemed to be serving more steak than usual, which is always a wonderful thing! The sausage and pork were also delicious. The complimentary "shots" they were passing out were good, too. (They were actually small versions of several of their cocktails, including a couple kinds of Margaritas.) We've learned to not fill up on the salad bar, but instead to enjoy all the meats. This helps us feel we're getting better value for our meal. We've been to this location twice now, and each time have come away extremely satisfied.

Usually don't think of Cooper's Hawk as a family restaurant but my 8-year-old granddaughter thoroughly enjoyed her Kid's Menu steak and a chocolate truffle dessert. Our waitress was also quite attentive even through it was a very busy evening. Will definitely consider coming back for another family occasion.

Truly exceptional meal and service. The marinated skirt steak was mind blowingly good.

Lovely Christmas Eve dinner!! Wedge salad and short ribs superb. Staff went out of their way to A.) accommodate our infirmed elderly guests B.) correct a dish that we had misordered. Thank you Carmines!!

We went for the Thanksgiving buffet and it was a lovely afternoon. The servers were quick with anything we needed and were always friendly. They were also helpful - my husband asked for Turkish coffee and the server responded that black coffee was included but there would be an extra charge for Turkish. Totally reasonable and I appreciated not getting a surprise added charge later. The food was solid, especially the cold apps/salads, cig kofte, lentil soup, bread basket, and the two meats made from ground meat. It's tough to prepare food for such a large group, so not surprising that the chicken kebabs were drier than I'd like. I was sad not to see any lamachun available, as it was listed. But that's okay as that's also something that's better when it's piping hot. At no point did anyone indicate that they needed our table, which can be a concern both at buffets and on holidays. We were able to relax between courses and enjoy the holiday as a family. I'd happily return!
