| - Fine meat is worth paying for (and waiting for) and Echo & Rig serves up some quality meat! This place is right by my house and I intend to become a regular. The decor is fantastic, as is the service and the food quality.
The place was packed and we had a 45 minute wait. It wound up being more like an hour, but it's close enough. We asked for bread because we were starving. We asked for bread 3 more times from 2 separate people and we finally got it. I gave them a pass because the servers were running their asses off. The service was so good that they even helped us play jokes on the table across from us that was having a family dinner. We may have happened to know the people at that table, so don't just try that on complete strangers.
My first time here, I split a gigantic flinstones-esque tomahawk steak. They even bring out the steak and show it to you before taking it back to the kitchen to cook it. That was a nice touch. If you want bigger or smaller, you can let them know and they will accommodate. They warned us that the steaks take a while since they're so thick. We didn't mind, we finally had bread to snack on. It tasted fantastic, albeit cooked slightly less than we had ordered it. Every bite was incredible.
Another awesome thing about Echo & Rig is that they sell raw steaks to go, and at pretty reasonable prices to boot. I need to stop in soon and pick some up to grill up at home.
My only real knock is that this place doesn't take reservations. That's always a bummer. A reservation would have improved our experience by cutting down on the wait time tremendously. Oh well, can't win em all. If you are a carnivore and haven't tried Echo & Rig yet, you are overdue! Just make sure to give yourself time, you'll be doing a fair amount of waiting.
