Big Ed's Steakhouse

My husband DRAGGED me here! We only live 30 minutes away, but I'm not into places that don't have windows-you go to windowless places for strippers; not strip steak, right!? WOW, I was amazed as to how good the food was! I had the filet. It was cooked exactly as ordered. My baked potato was great, except that it was beyond weird to be having a steak and get sour cream in individual packets, like you get at Wendy's fast food chain. The salad bar was such a nice surprise with all the homemade salads. The pasta salad as well as the potato salad with the little smokies are my favorites! I can't wait to go back! We went @ 6pm on a Thursday night and we got right in; no waiting, as had anticipated.

Alcohol was inexpensive, food was inexpensive.

The decor of plastic checkered table cloths made me laugh, but it just adds to the charm of the place.

Food is amazing. On Saturday nights (and Fridays too during Lent), they have an all-u-can-eat shrimp special around $20. You can choose fried or boiled. Boiled are my fave; they are huge, like prawns, and delicious! The waffle fries are delish too. And the bartender makes a tasty Bloody Mary. One drawback, you must have a membership to order alcohol, but you can purchase one when you're there. The steaks are very good, along with the salad, baked potato, and roll. Highly recommend!

My husband and I make it a point to drive the two hours from Lawrence, Ks down to this place every 2-3 months. We LOVE the steaks! From ribeyes, strips and filets to their huge "Butt club for two" ... You'll be impressed with the food! The building, the parking lot, the decor ... Not so much.  As an added bonus ... The long islands are darn good and only cost $5.

I'm a fan of their salad bar, too!  Tons of homemade salads ranging from garlic slaw, a pasta stylr salad with ramen noodles and a chunky potato salad with little smokies.
