The Steak Mafia Dinner #9, was at Omaha Jack's in Rancho Cucamonga.
TSM has had many wonderful steak dinners, at a wide range of restaurants, but our dinner at Omaha Jack's was a standout. A truly wonderful steak, as with a good cigar, or shot of whiskey (which I will come back to,) can be enhanced as much by the atmosphere and the company in which it is consumed, as it does with the quality and presentation. Omaha Jack's is a steakhouse on the rise, and their customer service and attention to detail, helped make this place shine and stand out as a cut above most others. But enough with the fancy wording, on to the reviews.

Comments:
Art: Wow! Very impressed, definitely would come back her! Waitress was great. Steak was great, beer was great, whiskey was great. Bruce is a stand-up guy, he's underpaid, great time!
Mitchell: Bruce, the Cook, came out to make sure we were happy with our steaks, and brought out a free shot of Single Barrel JD for everyone (except Kane), Starla was a fantastic waitress. Ron, the Owner, came out, very hospitable. Food was exponentially better than the decor.
Gil: Rib-eye was great, no complaints here, shot of Jack Daniel's Single Barrel was on the house, thanks to Bruce the cook! I'll be back.
Kelly: Do you think I'm a loser cause I go home 2 Starla every night? Fuhgettaboutit! I live 2 close to poo here! Free shots of whiskey.
Kris:Great Rib-eye! Thank You Bruce for the single barrel Jack & great steak! Thank you Starla, great service!
Shaun:Very surprised w/this place and very good. Good service and even the cook xcame out and answered questions. Waitress was awesome (Starla) and the cook (Bruce) hooked us up w/a Jack Daniel's single barrel shot for free. Place gets an "A" for awesome.
Matt: Waitress rocks! Steaks rocked! This place rocks!
The Deacon: Love the stationary, [of the scorecards] makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside. Chef=Bruce, Server=Starla, Owner=Ron.
Presentation: have been here several times
Service: Phenomenal
Flavor: Great flavor, didn't need to season a thing
Tenderness: couldn't quite cut it with a fork, but didn't take much to cut.
Side: Great cream of potato soup
Value: worth every penny
Overall: Amazing, beautiful server (Georgia Peach), the Chef came out, talked with us, gave us a shot of JD Single Barrel, also a visit from the Owner...
Aaron: not a "steakhouse" feel to the restaurant (brewery). Service is similar to Chilis, but her accent was cool (Georgia). The waitress, Starla, was excellent. The steak looked plain, but very tender. The flavor was great. The cook made an appearance which adds a point in all columns. We finished a meal with the cook (Bruce) giving us a single barrel whiskey (Gentleman Jack's). Awesome place. The Steak MAfia name seems to be gaining ground.
Kane: Better than I expected.

The Steak Mafia Dinner #8, February 19, 2010
The Steak Mafia visited Logan's Roadhouse in Fontana. Though ordinarily, chain steakhouses are not permitted by TSM, an exception was made for Logan's. #1, they have peanut shells on the floor, and #2, all the servers stop every half hour and break into sing and line-dance; it's just like being at the Double-Duece!

Steak: 16oz Boneless Ribeye
Server April was great. Ribeye not fatty enough, but very tender and juicy. Negative pts. for too much garnish on the plate. Awesome bread, peanuts on the table, shells on the floor, good quality meat (for a chain), separate checks.

The Steak Mafia Dinner #7
This blogger doesn't want to startle anyone, but he is compelled to post the review of tonights dinner, ON THE SAME DAY! Hot on the heels of 2009, the first gathering of The Steak Mafia 2010 was magnificent!
With 2 new guests in tow, Aaron Edwards and Sam Da Wool, both recent Ontario High grads, the New Year was rang in to sounds of sizzling steak. On Saturday, 1/16/2010, The Steak Mafia visited Taylor's Steakhouse, hidden in Koreatown just west of Downtown L.A. At the urging (begging) of this blogger TSM finally ventured outside of the IE for some city steak. Between the groans and smacking of lips, everyone agreed that Taylor's served up the best Rib-eye in the short history of the TSM.

Comment:
Art: very delicious steak! one of the best ribeyes I've ever had. A little pricey but worth it. Great ambience, restaurant was cool inside.
Gil: Best ribeye I've had at a steakhouse!!!
Mitchell: great service, very attentive, Ramo's special sauce was the perfect compliment, sides m'eh, steak cooked perfect! medium rare, great ambience, Rat-Pack ghosts hanging out with us, 1st Class all the way around, old school, huge cut, tender, perfectly marbled, 2nd best ribeye ever (no separate checks)
Kelly: It was so good that I poo'ed before I came!
Sammy: Great meal - Great service, drinks never went dry
Aaron: Delicious steak, creamed spinach side was so-so. Ramo was a great waiter, he made a side sauce with horseradish and steak sauce which was awesome. Great 1st steak! The restaurant "look" was great. Homey, a little dark, small, and had a great old-school feel to it.
The Steak Mafia Dinner #6
Welcome fellow steak lovers!
2009 went out with a sizzle and I hope everyone got a nice Rib-eye or Porterhouse in their stocking. (FYI, I happen to know Santa personally, and he likes a juicy reindeer steak every once in a while.) On November 20, the Steak Mafia convened at Lonestar Steakhouse in Corona. Now, yours truly was a little skeptical about going to a more commercial steakhouse, (they don't even let you spit tobacco on the floor at this fancy place,) and by the time I arrived in Corona after 2 1/2 hours on the road, I was a bit ornery. However, after a schooner of beer (extra points for schooners,) and a few bites of my steak, the road rage subsided. The Steak Mafia welcomed a new attendee, Jeff Anderson, and the FNG was a good sport about wearing the apron. Overall reviews were good, much higher than expected, and everyone had a greasy grin on their face by the time dinner was over. Separate checks were allowed and the every half hour the waiters all stop and join in a song and dance routine (must suck to be them) so they don't take themselves too seriously. Decent effort Lonestar.

Comments:
Godfather: Steak was delicious, not the best but definitely worth another trip, liked all the TVs showing football.
Gil: Steak came well done, (pissed) sent it back, came back rare & good, probably got tossed, stepped & pissed on - but it was good.
Mitchell: great bread, honey butter, schooners of beer!, filet side of the porterhouse cut like butter, for a chain: amazing, attentive service, pale ale on tap.
Kelly: Decent steak. not the best but met all expectations. Don't have to poo though, so something isn't right. Oh wait! I poo'd! Now its complete.
Kris: 1. Presentation- a little bright, 2.Service- wanted to drink my beer not wear it!! and was still charged for it!, 4. Tenderness- Filet was alittle well [done] but New York was good, 5. Side Dishes- steak soup not bad. Wedge salad more blue cheese, 7. Over-all Experience- service ruined what could have been a good dinner
Studio: Big goblet beer mugs were sweet... Cajun spice Rib-eye was fuckin bomb
Matthew: waiter was horrible! If you can't get at least 6 out of 9 orders right, time to find a new job! The steak soup was the best!
Humpty: Had a great time! I love the beer mugs. and the steak was real good, also pumped my bass player, Jeff Anderson came out! Now it's time to get fucked up!
Jeff Anderson: Great flavor of cajun seasonings, cooked perfect! Thanks for inviting me.
