I'll second Grandpa Fred's. They also have a very good sliced filet mignon meal (make sure you get the small one that's around $12, vs. the larger in the $20 range). IIRC, Grandpa Fred's also is in the local Entertainment Book for a 2 for 1 discount. One further note, they serve no pork products.

As to the Inn of The Seventh Ray, vote me thumbs down. Service can be awful, and the food never is better than acceptable. Location is nice, though.
