Grecian Steak House‎ Review

Grecian Steak House‎ located at 2002 South Plaza Way, Cape Girardeau, MO is a little hole in the wall place that not many people consider going to, but I am here to tell you to stop by the next time you get a chance. Compared to say Applebees, Logan's, and Outback, this place has the best steaks, for way cheaper. For just $12.49 you can get a 12oz, Delmonico ribeye, choice of a baked potato or fries, Texas Toast, and the free food bar.

Their menu includes most of the well known cuts of steaks like the Sirloin, Ribeye, Strip, and Filet, but they also carry the Porterhouse, which for those of you who do not know steaks, is a t-bone in which the filet side is alot larger than a normal t-bone, great slice of steak. They also sell pork chops for just $9.49. You get two pork chops for less than $10 whereas at Texas Roadhouse you pay almost $13.

Aside from Steaks they do chicken sandwiches and chicken breast meals as well as a small amount of seafood like fried shrimp, clam strips, and fish. For those who want a little touch of Greece, they also serve a nice gyro.

The food bar can also be bought by itself, but is always free with an entree. One half of the bar is the normal salad and dessert bar and the end near the cash register contains sides like green beans, corn, and mashed potatoes as well as different meats and entrees like liver, chicken, pot roast, and so on. Each day the bar is different and even changes from lunch to dinner.

Only draw backs are the service and the sometimes the cooks. A few times the service has been below average, but I blame that on the fact that only two servers were working in a place that can hold close to a hundred people. Only one time did I have a complaint about the food and that was when the owner was not there. My pork chops came out burnt on the edges and were so dry I have to soak them in steak sauce to eat them, but that was only once. All the other times they were perfect and even cooked my steaks to the right temperature.

All in all I say go to Grecian if you want alot of food and want to get away from the feel of the 45 minute waits and crowded tables of places like Logan's and Texas Roadhouse. They serve great tasting food and I have never had to wait for a table once. They are friendly and helpful, but be weary during busy times and when the owner is not around.
