Trolley Steaks and Seafood

If you haven’t been to the Trolley before, don’t be discouraged by the location. Yes, it’s weird that it’s in a strip mall but it gets better once inside. Give it a try. We have to eat gluten free and they don’t have a separate GF menu but can let you know what is safe to eat. The salad bar has always been great here. We haven’t been here for a year because we figured the salad bar would be closed due to the pandemic. We were pleasantly surprised that it was still available. Instead of diners going to the salad bar now you fill out a checklist of what you’d like and the server makes your salad. The salad I got was very generous. It was much bigger than I would have made myself and she even plated it nicely. The scallops are phenomenal here. If you don’t want a full order you can get a side of two. If you haven’t had them they are a must try. Filet mignon is also a favorite. Always cooked perfectly. My favorite cocktail here is the Nutty Professor. It’s a mule using Makers Mark. Not sure if they’ll ever offer the Bloody Mary bar again, but we loved to have that with brunch when they had it. Every server is different and we’ve had some slower ones in the past but last night we had a great server named Alison. She seemed a little newer because she didn’t have everything memorized but that was no concern to us. My only complaint about this place is that the after dinner mints here are so gross! Obviously not a deal breaker but does anyone even like them?

1st time visit. Also with party of about 16 to 18. Salad bar was very good. Since, I'm gluten-free I needed to modify the prep on the entree. I ordered broiled blackened walleye / jalapeno tartar sauce with asparagus side. Without the cajun, the fish was bland and dry. Expected butter sauce for moisture and some basic seasoning. These would have made a significant improvement in the flavor. Asparagus was okay. Wait staff was pleasant in serving us.
