Laura's Steakhouse is ok.
If you're looking for a typical small-town diner experience Laura's could be the place for you. The interior is clean and well-maintained, but not modern or stylish in any way. It's an average looking small-town restaurant. The menu has all of your "meat & potatoes" favourites that you would expect at virtually every other western-style restaurant you can think of. Was there anything there that was bold, innovative, and adventurous? Nope, not at all. But I believe this to be intentional on Laura's part. When I looked around at the clientele the vast majority of the people there were senior citizens who know what they like and like what they know. Considering how full the restaurant was I can see that Laura's have clearly hit their niche.
Personally, I ordered the steak with sweet potato fries. My steak was bland and somewhat overcooked, but when I look at the crowd around me, I could see that bland and overcooked would be the ideal way to cook for most of their customers. Once again Laura's know who they're cooking for.
I found Laura's to be a very ok experience. Typical food presented by typical service inside a typical restaurant. If you're the type of diner who hates surprises and is looking for a very predictable meal with nothing strange in, on, or around your food then Laura's is probably the place for you. read more
