I had heard about this place before a few times and really good things too. I'm sure the excitement surrounding this place is purely because of the price. I love my steaks and can be pretty picky but I always keep an open mind with food especially in dingy looking places like these because I like to be surprised.
The cashier was kind and friendly suggesting the steak special. After looking at the raw steaks in the window I was pretty impressed that they could sell them for as low as $9. They looked half decent.
My steak special came with a Cesar salad, dinner roll, fries (I added gravy) and of course, a 16oz steak. The Cesar salad was a write off after the first bite, it was small and the lettuce tasted like it had been sitting around for a few days. The dinner roll was standard. The fries were pretty good, standard diner fries with gravy on top. The steak, which I had cooked medium rare, was the worst steak I've ever had. Which is not saying much because I've never had a steak that I disliked to the point I couldn't eat. Steaks are steaks what's not to like? It was cooked well so that's a plus but I feel like they could have done so much better with a simple seasoning. It was sort of bland and tasted of the burnt grill. Basically what I expected.
For the price it was worth it, a good helping of food that was fairly edible and slightly enjoyable but the $18 I spent on the whole meal was enough for me to overlook most of this. I'd come here if I was very hungry, broke, and it was after 10pm. All in all I'm glad it's here and I have an alternative to McDonald's late at night.
