There were 8 people in my group for dinner. Seven people had the steak special and one person had a burger. The steaks were prepared perfectly and were very flavorful. The salads were fresh and the loaded baked potato was very good. The server was somewhat forgetful, but was pleasant. We will definitely visit again.

We came in with a large group at prime time on a Saturday night before an event. I told them as they were taking drink orders that our uber would be there in an hour and to please bring the checks when we got our entrees. We were all done eating, paid our checks, and ready to go within 45 minutes of placing our orders! And the food was as always, incredible.

I have been to Blinkers two times before this visit and enjoyed the delicious food, both times were large parties. It's been awhile since we were there and it did not disappoint. We had 4 people in our party and the food was delicious! We all had different dishes and one was as good as the other. It was the best meal we had in a long time. Can't wait to go back, I will be ordering the Pork Chop!
