Of course, steaks are what they’re known for, but we’ll get to that in a minute. This meal is going to be an experience, so you’re going to want to start with an appetizer. It may sound strange to get onion rings as an appetizer at a steakhouse, but we promise…they’re worth it.
Now onto the main meal. When John Vojkovich opened the restaurant in 1934, he wanted to keep the menu simple and only offer steaks, and that’s still true today.
We know it will be hard, but try to save room for dessert. Their Z Pie is an ice cream lover’s dream: chocolate cookie crust with vanilla ice cream, caramel sauce and topped with whipped cream and chocolate sauce. Yum!
Address: 1001 North Broad Street, New Orleans, LA, 70119
