| - Husband, friend and I were out cruisin' the streets, trying to figure out where to go for dinner. We saw Bill Johnson's on 19th Ave/Bell Rd and thought "mmmmm...steak sounds good." I checked out their Yelp and decided, "eh...let's see what else I can find on Yelp." T-Bone popped up under steakhouses, reviews seemed good, we'd never heard of the place, we were already on 19th Ave, so I said "keep driving straight, jeeves (my dear hubby, hah)! All the way to South Mountain!"
We arrived at near-sunset. There were a few cars outside and just a few tables filled. It was kinda dark inside, but that's okay. The view was great, but it was a smoggy hazy day, so not so pretty. The menu consists of steak, steak and steak, plus a couple other meats and sides. Each entree comes with cowboy beans, bread, and the salad bar. Beans were beans. Bread was a slice from a loaf of wheat. Salad bar was bare, but decent. The cold green beans with onion & vinegar were...odd. Not terrible, but I don't fancy strong raw onions too much.
The three of us each ordered a different steak, each to a different doneness. Husband's & friend's were fine, but my medium-well was more medium-rare, so it was sent back to be corrected. I'm sorry, I grew up on well-done meats, so my foray into lesser cooked meats is taking some time. But it was okay, I don't throw hissy fits about incorrect orders, so I waited patiently for my cow to cook. I don't remember exactly which cut I ordered, but it didn't have a bone. It was a little tough and fatty, but I don't know much about steaks - maybe it was supposed to be that way? Good nonetheless. Husband's porterhouse & friend's whatever-he-got were good to them, also. Friend ordered a micro-brew. Blonde? Amber? I don't know...it was pretty tasty, though, and cheap!
Not having horse-knowledge on the tip of my brain, I had to pause a moment at the restrooms, when deciding whether to open the "colts" or "fillies" door. After dinner, we wandered around a little. They have a large banquet room and a nice outdoor seating area, both on the side of the restaurant, and in front, with a good city view. We found some horses tied up out back, and figured that's where the large party we saw walk in earlier came from. They have a sign for carriage rides, but don't know any details about it. Sounds fun, though!
Overall, I love the location, the food was decent, and I just liked the rustic-ness of the place. Definitely will return again sometime.
