I'm talking about Ben and Jack's steakhouse (see list below), although their steak sauce is actually pretty good. I finally convinced a few other people to check this place out with me (after being deluged with CNBC commercials) and my conclusion is, I guess there was a reason they were advertising so much. It's funny when you see the commercials, because they show a bustling restaurant packed with classily dressed patrons calmly annihilating huge towers of seafood and platters of steak.
We arrived at around 6:30 PM saturday night and had the place completely to ourselves. By 8 PM, 4 more tables were being used. Guess it's the economy, or maybe the place is haunted and the commercials are based on a grotesque ghost gatherings that happen at midnight.
Being a Luger spin-off, the focus is on porterhouse, and the steak for 3 is surprisingly easy to finish and only around 40 bucks a person. Quality wise I'm going with Luger's and Wolfgang's over this place but it's not like it was sub-par or anything. Appetizers / sides were in line with what you would expect.
