Okay, I'm gonna rave about this spot. I have had some of the best steaks in my life here (wait a minute, The best steak of my life, several times). They serve a bagged salad and garlic mashed potatoes. You can get chicken but no one does. The salad is mediocre, the potatoes are okay but you're there for the steak. There's a line out the door and they are open Thursday friday saturday only.People come form Houston and Dallas Thursday is cat fish. They open at 5:30, be there by 5:00 it's a 45 minute ride but worth it....no traffic either. And the added bonus? BYOB. Steaks come in 2 oz increments. I am a pig so I get an 18 ounce for about $35.00 Then I eat what the wife couldn't. Rib Eyes too!
