| - 24/7 steak, $11.99 for 16-oz with starch (rice, mashed potatoes, fries), dinner roll and salad, $5.99 for 8-oz steak sandwich with fries and pop... extra for gravy, mushrooms and Greek salad for your steak combo. Do not get the rice, it will most likely be undercooked.
Steak is cooked as requested consistently. Had it from medium rare to well done - medium rare is obviously tastier for a true red meat lover, but sometimes well done is a better choice if you don't want to struggle with some extra fatty bits in your steak. Yes, it is not the top quality meat but where else can you get so much steak at that price, and any steak at ungodly hours of the night when T-Bones is most packed? Tasty enough that I have seen guys arrive in cabs?!
The place is somewhat clean but in disrepair, and its sketchy appearance can be further complemented by various interesting characters that frequent the joint late at night, such as (1) a guy high as a kite waiting for his food next to you, asking you "Did you see that? I swear I just saw a ghost? You sure you didn't see a ghost???" repeatedly while looking around with a scared facial expression (2) two girls that are obviously strippers at one of the sketchy Scarborough clubs, trash talking you out of nowhere, or (3) a group of a dozen or so guys in their late twenties/early thirties having rap battle in front of the entrance, but nicely opening the door for people walking in. Not really dangerous per se, and I never felt threatened, but it can get interesting with drunk people after last cal on weekends - plenty of cops get their grub on here, too.
I was introduced to this place during university, and apparently the owners opened it based on personal frustrations on not being able to get any good food late at night when in school. Would not study here (washrooms are not that clean and you cannot drink your own water), but great to fill up after a long night or two when nothing even close to nutritious food can be had.
Overall, great value for tasty steak anytime you want, any way you want it, but don't expect anything more than that. Also, they accept debit but no credit cards.
