| - Yikes!!! Real wood paneling, yes real wood. Booths with real wood backing. They killed a couple of trees to build this place. Okay they purchased the wood in 1930 and saved it until 1958 when they built the Beef & Bottle which is indicated by a sign on the building. They made a pact to never change it so the past would be preserved for anthropologist to explore.
The entrance is in the back of the building/shack. There are signs warning of twenty four hour security camera surveillance and barbed wire around the windows in the back part of the building. This is to keep out the thugs who want to steel the priceless steaks, similar to security around places like? jewelry stores. Ah yes. I knew that, so I was not afraid.
Really dark inside, Frank Sinatra music filled the air and blew me into the next room. I had been morphed back to the 1940's and decided to run with it. What the hell, you only live once.
The very nice waitress was quick to greet me and get me a glass of red wine. I needed it because the two things I am afraid of are heights and going back in a time machine.
I looked around and thought I saw Elvis but it was really dark so I could not be sure. So, I am thinking this is some kind of neighborhood nostalgia restaurant for everyone who once did and still wants to live in the Sinatra, Dean Martin, Marylin Monroe era. Was the Mafia here tonight for dinner? The music was starting to wear me down when they played "Lets Make Whoopee" I was getting really irritated and prayed for soft jazz or classical music. Nope, here comes the Andrews sisters, I think. Then more Frank Sinatra.
I ordered the protected jewel, "Steak". A ribeye steak with baked potato and sauteed mushrooms. Mushrooms from a can. That was a big dagger. Maybe they did not have fresh mushrooms back in those days.
The steak was okay, a little salty but not bad. The potato was a potato. The salad was fresh and they let you assemble it yourself. This is a restaurant that has not reinvested in their future. They will sell the property to someone who will build a self storage business here and that will be the end. My rating is somewhat generous. A below average price/value proposition at this restaurant.
I would consider other steak houses in the area for dining unless you want to go back in your time machine for an average meal. Probably a cool bar scene with live music on the weekend.
This is a 2.5 star rated establishment. My apologies to the other reviewers I don't agree with high ratings for this joint.
