Angelo & Maxie's Steakhouse

A few weeks ago, I went to have lunch with an old friend. We decided on Angelo & Maxie's because it's close by to my work place and also he's been meaning to try it for some time. He told me there was Lunch Special there for $20.99 so I decided to go for it (Anywhere for a good post right? ;D)



So, we went there, and we both opted for the Lunch Special. You could either get the soup or salad to start. I opted for the black bean soup- which turned out to be really good! The texture was a little weird and thick, but you could tell that it was made of real mashed beans. For our entre, we both got the 8 oz Filet Mignon. It was good. I learned how to cut steak properly. You have to CUT AGAINST THE GRAIN, in order to cut through all of the fibers inside the meat so that it will be easier to chew. (I learned all of this from the genius brain of stephen fang, and also about.com (read the article HERE).



Anyway, the steak was really juicy and tender. They gave us a side of this buttery sauce, which was so awesome when you dipped the steak in it! I actually forgot they had their own specialty steak sauce because I was already so satisfied with the steak juice and butter stuff. So by my 4 bites, I finally decided to try their steak sauce, and it was really good too! Sweet and tangy- a perfect mix with my half raw steak.

The service was great and everyone there was really friendly and willing to serve. Its a nice place, clean and big, so you couldn't feel claustrophobic or anything of that sorts! I wouldn't say that this is a place you HAVE to try out, but if you're in the area, looking for some steak- it's not THAT bad.

Taste: 2/5
Atmosphere: 2.5/5
Cost: $30-$60 / person, unless you do the lunch special or share...
