Raffs Tavern

Enjoyed my food. Got the prime rib sandwich, and it is was perfect. Also go the BBQ pulled pork fries, and a side of green chili, happy with it all. Glad I found this place to order from. It is something different than the usual. Fairly priced considering it is an upscale place. If I am ever up that way near the golf course I'll stop by to dine in sometimes. Thinking of taking my next date night there.

As much as their website might lead you to believe otherwise, this is "just" a run of the mill place that offers food and drinks primarily to golfers. If you go in expecting that, great. If you're expecting a slightly more upscale experience, a restaurant that just happens to be at a golf course, you'll be disappointed. Service was good, the staff were friendly and went the extra mile for me. I had a Caesar salad, fries and their sort of signature ribeye, the latter being a $22 steak, so not discount but not way top of the line, either. The salad was nothing special, the fries were fine, but on two attempts the kitchen was unable to cook the ribeye to medium rare - it was medium to medium well both times, with absolutely no pink or red in the interior. The wait staff were very apologetic and comped the steak and fries. I pointed out that it wasn't their fault - it's the kitchen staff's fault, and management for not making sure the cooks could prepare steaks that way. Other food might be fine. I advise not ordering a steak unless you want it medium well or well done.

We've lived in the area for almost 7 years and just recently learned that this little gem is only a few minutes away. My husband and I like the fact that it's close to home, you can walk in and have a seat and the food is good. They have daily specials, plus a good variety on their menu. It's on the golf course, so lots of traffic coming and going, but we haven't had any issues getting a table or being served right away.

I have found this place looking for something other than fast food. I have eaten here with takeout 3 times in the last 2 weeks. Food and service I have found to be good. But there is no rhyme or reason as to what you will be charged. The first 2 times I ordered the exact same thing and there was $5 difference. The 3 time i had a sandwich listed at $11 on their online menu and a beer in a to go cup while I waited. Do not understand how I can order the same beer on 3 visits in 2 weeks and be charged 3 different prices, and not minor fluctuations in price. Almost 3 times from the lowest to the highest. I can only guess they prefer their golf course clientele, of which I'm not. Was just looking for something better than fast food during these times. Also I did not receive a itemized bill on my last visit so do not know what was actually charged for what.
