We, a party of 6, went to the new location of the All Steak restaurant at prime supper time. I called ahead and had our names on the list, so that we walked in the door, and onward to a table in no time flat.\r
The new location's ambiance is lovely, though i have to say that the artwork is rather bland.Cullman has some fantastic local artists, why not get original artwork? But I digress...\r
Let me preface my food evaluation by saying that I have eaten the food at the All Steak all my life, quite literally. I knew the old, original location, the top-o-the bank location, and now this. We had stopped going to the top of the bank location not long after the newest owners took over--the service and food had become sub-par to what it used to be. The only constant was the orange rolls. We, however, decided to give the newest incarnation a chance, and were very pleasantly surprised. The server was attentive and pleasant, and did not reach across my plate to do her job, as others had been prone to do (my pet peeve.) The menu has changed drastically from the previous locations. I know that many (including some in our party) lament this, but lets face it, the menu had not received an update since the 1970s. It was outdated and it's time had come and gone. I had the osso bucco, others in my party had the prime rib and hamburger steak. The osso bucco was fantastic, one of the best things I have ever eaten at the All Steak. It was tender, had a wonderful flavor, and the mashed potatoes with it were lovely. The prime rib was everything you expect the All Steak's prime rib to be--some fat, good flavor. The orange rolls were perfect, of course. We will definitely give the new location more tries, to see if they are able to keep this up!
