| - This review references just the steakhouse. We really only had time for our meal here, so I'll leave the rest of Rawhide to others.
Rawhide produces a decent steak, most of the time. On this night, me and one of my friends both ordered a NY strip, medium rare, that essentially came out medium well-to-well.
Overcooking a steak is just something you don't do if you're a steakhouse. Devise a system. Time your steaks right. Do whatever you have to do not to screw that up. We were a bit pressed for time, so we didn't send them back, but they were tough, although had a bit of flavor to them.
My vote was 2 stars, but my cohorts without overcooked steaks enjoyed their meals alright. The sides are somewhat standard fare, nothing spectacular or amazing by any means, but they bake a potato as well as the next budget steakhouse.
On that note, the budget isn't terribly cheap. I think my steak was pushing $25, which is fine for a NY strip if you get it right.
The corn on the cob was disappointing (likely frozen and then warmed/briefly grilled?) and that's something you shouldn't try to cheap out on.
For dessert, we had a lovely pot o' stearno-powered table-made smore kit, which was fun, and a good $3.
Overall, unless you're making an old west evening of it, you can clearly get a much better steak for cheaper at some place like Texas Roadhouse.
