Must eat steak...

It has been a while since we have been out for a nice meal in a restaurant. You know.. Like a lot of families with tight budget. Eating out is not a norm here. But last week, we have had a plan to go out with a few of our friends but it didn't work out as some of them are sick. I can't help but think about it after looking at where and what we want to eat.

We have heard so much about Stoney River Steakhouse and figure it's time to take a test drive there. At first I wasn't sure if it's one of those upscale restaurants that we should leave the kids locked down in the basement.. OK.. It's a joke here don't call Social service on me now. :) I called and found out that they don't mind children since they do have kid menu.

We could have called ahead to reserve priority seating but figured that we weren't that hungry and we could wait. So we headed there around 5:30pm. And the place was already packed. When we got there, we saw a few customers were already done with their meal. Come on!!! Does that mean they eat at 4pm? Huh.. They might combine lunch and dinner in one meal. Just my guess.

The wait was 40-50 minutes.. It wasn't bad if we didn't forget to pack a Leapster for our kids. But in the end, they did pretty well. Just had to bribe them with a diet coke and game on my cell phone. Whew!! Save the evening. We figured if they started to act up we could just walk across the street to the Waffle House.

We started off with Crabcake appetizer. Too bad for my husband, he just started developing the allergic reaction to shell-fish and turned out crab cake is one of them. Sorry, honey.. The Crabcake was gooooooood.. But I think what's better is their dinner rolls. Not only, the taste is out there but you don't have to pay for it.

I ordered Coffee Cured Steak - medium rare. Hmm hmm.. I have no word to describe it. You just have to try it yourself!

My husband ordered Ribeyes.. Gosh!! Thank God I cooked our ribeye 2 night before. Otherwise, we won't be touching that after we have tasted this Ribeye.

We finished with no room to spare for any dessert. But it was a good night out and worth every penny.

Guess this was our highlighted activity for our weekend. It has been a while since we take a trip. So a restaurant trip is counted as one of the weekend trip on my book!
