STEAK! DELIVERED!
If you need more convincing than that, read on.
I'm reviewing this from the perspective of a person in a hotel without a car who didn't feel like walking the sub-freezing highway to eat, not even just across the street. Lazy, I know, but admit it, you've been here.
From my perspective, Steak-Out was near perfection. I reviewed their menu online then called when ready. It would be nice if their website had an overall location map so that visitors could see which was closest, but some quick Google Maps search told me this one was for me.
I ordered a 9 oz ribeye which came with a roll, baked potato and small side salad. I added a piece of triple chocolate cake and a 20oz Coke. The total was less than $25, less than $30 after I tipped.
Online ordering is not available, and I had to read my credit card over the phone. I'm not a fan because that can lead to errors, evidenced by the multiple times I had to read back information.
I lost track of the time, but I'm pretty sure they were close to the promised 30 minutes. I offered to meet in the lobby, but they happily walked it up to my room.
The steak was tightly wrapped in foil, which kept it warm but didn't keep some of the juice from leaking out into the styrofoam takeout box. The potato was likewise wrapped and hot enough to melt butter. The roll wasn't wrapped but had some heat from the other two. Along with the salad, they included one dressing pack, two Country Crock spreads, a sour cream packet, and two packaged silverware sets. One was just a fork, presumably for my cake. I'm spelling out everything so that you can see they totally took care of what I needed to have a meal. I've ordered takeout/delivery before, only to find out back in the room that I had no utensils or something else equally ridiculous. Don't worry about that here. They thought of everything you need. I had no trouble eating the steak in the takeout box, either. Although the knife scored the box, it didn't cut through.
I ordered the steak medium and was pleased to see it cooked perfectly. IMO the steak didn't need any additions, although there were salt and pepper packets in both silverware packs. The steak had an interesting flavor, almost sweet but not overly so. I devoured every bite with pleasure before moving on to the potato and salad. The potato was cooked well, and the salad seemed fresh.
The cake was very delicious, probably not in the running for any awards, but great for a delivery place.
All-in-all this was a fantastic choice for dinner tonight, and I will keep them in mind when my plans take me to Huntsville again. It brought back find memories of the steak delivery my wife and I used to frequent in Abilene, TX, when we first married.
Sure, you can cook yourself a better steak on your own grill. But if you didn't bring the grill in your carry-on, you can't go wrong here. Reread the top line. If you're not sold, you might not actually like steak. read more
