No napkins. No silverware. Yes meat.Join us for our THIRD ever Beefsteak Banquet on Thursday Apr 30 2026.
What's a Beefsteak, you ask?
"It's described a feast of epic proportions known simply as a “Beefsteak.” A rite of gluttony that waged war on the livers of politicians and gangsters alike, the Beefsteak thrived in the saloons and political halls of the 19th and early 20th centuries. The menu was always the same — sliced steak served on toast, au jus or gravy, and all the beer you could drink*. Knives, forks, plates and napkins were forbidden. The life of the party was the guest who let out the most appreciative grunts, drank the most beer, and consumed the most steak. Sadly, the practice died out after World War II."
Sounds like a great idea, so we're bringing it back. 2 hours of all-you-can-eat filet mignon, ribeye, prime rib, pork chops, sausage, and other meat-based options. Every Beefsteak'er will take home a custom apron too! The meat is served on toast points, but as you can see from the photos, you don't eat them -- you collect them!
This will be a ticketed event with two included Whiskey Acres drinks -- ticket link coming next week. Please, be 21 or older and hungry.
(Sorry vegetarians gotta sit this one out -- but we promise a special veg dinner for you later in the spring....)
