I love steak. But I love steak even more when it’s a bargain. I’m not talking about a cheap steak like the kind you get at Tad’s or Palace Steak House in San Francisco. I’m talking about a huge prime dry-aged beef tenderloin steak with soup or salad and potato for $27.95!

At Eddie’s Supper Club in Great Falls Montana they have been serving steaks they call Campfire Steaks since 1944. A Campfire Steak is a steak with a special marinade applied so that it develops a nice charred crust. They claim that their steaks taste “like that old Marlboro cowboy cooked it over a fire”. Yeehaw!

The Manhattan comes with it’s own little mixing glass and strainer.

The restaurant is pretty swanky inside with leatherette booths and many large oil paintings of cowboys and horses. In the lounge are two piano bars facing each other, and they have dueling piano players, however when we visited one of the players was out sick, so there was just one gentleman on the keys. We had after-dinner drinks in the bar and heard a few numbers. Several senior regulars who knew the piano player came in while we were there and took seats at the piano. They also have a more casual coffee shop.
