The Frog may be satisfied, but diners probably won't be. This restaurant
underwent an ownership change in 2007 and with it, the quality plummeted.
This is one of those theme restaurants with wood shavings on the floor
and kitchy western decor. It's part of Frontier Town, a grouping
of overpriced shops selling the kind of stuff tourists buy to bring
home to their kids, and apparently this justifies turning out poor-quality
food at prices close to what you'll pay at a higher-end steakhouse.
On my visit in April 2008, one of my dinner partners ordered an 8-ounce
ribeye steak; what came to the table was an overcooked slab no thicker
than your index finger, half of which was fat. I ordered the one-pound
prime rib cooked medium rare. The waiter first brought me a piece cooked
to medium, and then returned with what he said was a properly cooked
piece. No matter, because both had the sickly brownish-grayish tint
indicative of meat that is pre-cooked and then later heated to the proper
temperature. And once again, there seemed to be no effort to trim the
fat away. $22.99? I have had better prime rib at one of the local Indian
casinos for just over half the price.
The items that were the least mediocre were the fried chicken and the
salmon. The chicken was actually good, the salmon palatable.
Considering that frogs live on flies, I can understand why a frop might
be satisfied with this place. But you won't be.
