| - Yay: The wedge with blue cheese is a-maze. Insanely yummy. Servers are friendly.
Dealbreaker: steak is perfect one night, impossibly crappy the next. Service is a crap shoot (although still friendly, yay?).
Last night I ordered a medium-rare 14-oz ribeye. I got a beautifully marbled and perfectly cooked hunk of USDA Choice AWESOME. So tender, so flavorful. The meal made my night.
Tonight (I see you, judgy face!) I ordered a medium-rare 14-oz ribeye. I received a medium steak that was tender and well-seasoned. An awesome meal if you like medium steak. But I don't eat medium, so I asked for a new steak, rare. Maybe the grill dude/ette didn't like that, because I ended up with a flavorless and largely unchewable slab of just-seared...I don't even know what it was. "Choice ribeye, they allege?" LOL probs not. What is all that unchewable crap in the meat? EW gross. Where is the fat????? Just a real, real bad piece of meat. Let's just say I once had a Ruby Tuesday's steak that was leagues tenderer, better marbled, and more flavorful than this one. As in I could actually chew and taste it.
Whatever, anyway. So disappointed, so hungry. (Because I am not going to risk the possible consequences of sending back a steak twice.) Hello, who let this person touch the grill? And where the hell are you sourcing your meat, people?
Ugh, off to Five Guys for some due consolation. At least they give you what they say they'll give you. I'd prefer $6 of reliable satisfaction over $22 of fail any day.
P.S. In case it isn't already clear, I am never, ever coming back.
