First time at Ditkas... I had a Saturday night early dinner. I ordered a Fridge Burger medium rare with everything... cheddar, mustard, mayonnaise, onions, pickles, lettuce, and tomato. The burger was cooked to perfection and paired with your average steak house fries. This dinner "meal option" was great for it's relatively low price of just under $15. It's one of the few "meals" on the menu in this price range, unless you order an appetizer or side as your meal. I should mention... One of the members of the group I was with had a delicious looking dessert that she loved as well. It was the flour-less chocolate cake.
I'm just confused about the identity of this place. The menu hosts an expensive array of steaks and seafood. Dinner prices range from $22-$60. Yet they play hip-hop and pop music and sell t-shirts in the lobby? Not to mention there's a beautiful view of the highway traffic and a Get-Go gas station from the dining room windows. Don't get me wrong, the interior is gorgeous and I love the murals and photos on the walls. It couldn't be any cleaner inside and yes, the food was great.
However, remove the high-end prices and the somewhat uptight waiters/waitresses and you have yourself a Longhorn Steakhouse. Hard to imagine enjoying a $60 meal (not that I ever would) while watching someone pump gas into their mini-van across the street.
