| - Good steaks at a great price.
This place is a diner/dive/trucker spot. You're not coming here for the decor or ambiance, but the good steaks for an unbeatable price and that's why I'm giving it 4 stars, good food and great value. (I'm a fan of Diners Drive-In and Dives so ambiance is not my thing)
A $10 12 oz NY steak? When you hear that, I know you're thinking "this has got to be some Taco Bell, Grade F beef"... well, that's what I thought when I drove past. But after a friend convinced me to come here, I can tell you, it's definitely not. You get a quality steak (they have a ton of choices, NY, Rib, Porterhouse, T-bone, etc.) or chicken, smoked ribs, pulled pork, or even soulvaki for a great price.
I had a 12 oz Rib steak + baby back ribs with fries and a draft beer for $22 all in. Seriously.
The steak was cooked to my liking (rare) and they cooked it perfectly. The steak doesn't have much seasoning on it, but you can add bbq sauce or pepper to it if you want. I wouldn't say "Keg quality" like other posts, but the cook knows his stuff, and the meat is good. The ribs were also pretty tasty and tender.
You can also get a 12 oz draft beer for $2.10, I don't know how you can beat that.
They have a pretty wide array of menu items (makes me wonder how they stock/prepare all these meats, and if they have enough turnover to get through their smoked meats) and I'll definitely be back to try some other items, such as a pulled pork sandwich with fries for $6.99, Beef ribs with a side for $11, Del Monico steak (on special) with a side for $12.
If you're in the area and you have a carnivore craving and don't mind a diner type setting, I'd suggest it.
UPDATE:
I tried the Del Monaco steak + fries + onion rings. They won't let you sub fries for onion rings (you can only sub fries for salad), so I just got it as an additional side.
I don't like the cut of the Del Monaco, they charge more for it, but it's a thinner cut so I'd stick with the rib eye. The fries are good here, but I'd pass on the onion rings as well. Cheap for $2.50, but they use a thick batter so it's very doughy. Stick with the fries!
