Beef is Back

Not that beef has ever left the dinner table of America, but for a short while it had become the less desirable meat of choice. With the ever-changing dieting habits of Americans, beef is being ordered more. The Spunky Steer, as the name implies specializes in beef. They have figured out the art of quick service, particularly at lunch. This family style restaurant has 4 locations, the Redlands location has been open since 1988 and is family operated.

The same menu serves for both lunch and dinner. To begin their offerings, they provide 7 types of salads from dinner salads to steak or chicken salads that could be enjoyed as a meal. For their entrées, they have 7 different types of sandwiches (various chicken, tuna, various beef, fish and egg) with ½ sandwich options. Ranging in price from $4.25 - $7.95. They also serve a selection of seafood and chicken entrees as options to their trademark beef dishes. Spunky Steer offers 7 different seafood choices ranging from kabobs to grilled or fried fish. These dishes cost from $8.95 to $10.95. They have 4 basic chicken dishes that range in prices from $6.50 to $8.75.

But beef is their specialty. They offer 23 different beef and beef combination dinners. Their hamburgers rival any of those served in town. Under their Favorites menu category their variety include: Beef dips, Bar-B-Q, and various Roast Beef offerings. Under the Steaks category, there are hamburger patties, kabobs, Rib Eye steaks, Bacon wrapped and those with fish and shrimp, Sirloin, Baby Back Ribs, Liver and Onions, Flank and, of course, T-Bone. These dishes, with their various side dishes, range in price from $5.25 to $16.95. It was interesting to note that with their various soup, salad, grilled garlic bread and baked potato options, that you can top your baked potato with either chive dressing, butter blend dressing or cheese sauce.

For those who can start dinner at 3:00 p.m., they offer Specials of the Week with a price range of $5.95 to $13.95. They vary with each day of the week: Monday is either Fried or Cajun Chicken, Tuesday is New York Steak, Wednesday is Country Fried Steak, Thursday is Pork Chops, and Friday, Saturday and Sunday is Steak and Pork Rib Combo.

The atmosphere, like its food, is straightforward and unpretentious. And the portions are ample. The Spunky Steer is a very casual dining restaurant, where everyone can feel comfortable.
