Order a Wagon Wheel dinner for two! My husband had the Ribs which were excellent but I ordered a NY Strip cooked charred rare and it came out med and tuff and very fatty! Which we were never asked how the good was our meals or if we needed anything!! We did have a large group of 12 which I made a reservation before which would have given the management to adjust workers schedules!!

Visalia

Double LL Steak House & Saloon in Visalia, California has been in operation since 1995. It's become known for its bone in ribeye and other menu items from the grill. The rib eye dinner is also very popular and comes with a loaded potato. You can also add sides like the garlic bread or bleu cheese salad. Most customers don't even bother with sauce at Double LL Steak House & Saloon because the meat is cooked over oak. This includes the filet mignon.

There are plenty of cocktails at Double LL Steak House & Saloon worth considering. If you like martinis, for example, you'll want to consider the many options.
