From our charcoal hearth- All steaks are true charcoal broiled right before your eyes. Charcoal Broiling of Meat was the first Culinary Method ever employed. It means cooking over a n open hearth of true charcoal fire. Charcoal is a natural fuel and has never been improved upon. It enhances all the goodness of meat by adding a tangy, subtly different flavor all its own.
The following is served all entrees:
