The grill is always on, and the meat is wonderfully cooked every time. CB's is as popular for its high-end burgers and meaty sandwiches as it is for giant, delicious steaks. The sides, like large stuffed ravioli, stuffed mushrooms, and shrimp diablo are divine starters or could make a lunch all by themselves.

Save room for dessert, because they have peach cobbler, apple crisps, lava cake, and cheesecake to make a perfect dinner into a perfect evening experience.
