| - While looking on the internet for a good steakhouse in Vegas, I came across Austin's. What a find! Don't let the less than desirable locale stop you from giving this place a try. Not only is the food delicious, it's very reasonably priced.
What we had -
To start, they bring you a basket of different types of bread. All very good but the pretzel bread was the best!
Salad - while there were several to choose from, my husband and I split the wedge salad. It was fantastic! it was covered in crumbled bacon, chopped tomatoes and onions, blue cheese dressing and crumbles.
Main Course - The reviews I read said to order the rib-eye so my brother and I split it (22 ounces!) It was tender and really flavorful and worth the $36 price tag. My husband and sister in law each ordered the petite filet at $27. My sister in law said it was "like buttah".
Side Dishes - they are ALL $6 each which, if you go to any high end steakhouse on the Strip, run anywhere from $12 to $15 each. We had the creamed corn which had bits of jalapeno peppers in it, french fries, and gorgonzola mashed potatoes. All quite tasty and plenty to split between the 4 of us.
Dessert - we were there to celebrate my brother and sister in law's birthdays so they received complimentary creme brulee's, but our waiter, Shawn, mentioned that he loved the apple crisp so I ordered that and was very happy I did. It was in phyllo dough and the apples were perfectly cooked and the topping was fabulous. Probably one of the best apple crisps I've ever had ( and I've had a lot of apple crisps!)
Shawn also mentioned that if you go on restaurant.com, there are deals to be had for our next visit which is something I'll check out the next time I'm headed to Vegas (FYI, Restaurant.com is on Ebates.com which gives you rebates when you purchase through them so check that out!)
After all was said and done, it was less than $50 per person for an exceptional steak dinnerl! Now THAT'S a deal!
