ATMOSPHERE
Walk into The Beef Connection and transport yourself into the late 1970's. Nothing special, although clean.
SERVICE
The service, while not classic was prompt and friendly. I was checked on frequently, but not pestered.
FOOD
This is a steakhouse, plain and simple. I had the barbeque shrimp appetizer, which was overly spicy and otherwise unspectacular. I continued with a dinner salad, which was simply iceberg, two small tomato slices, and blue cheese of the supermarket bottle variety. I continued on to the large filet mignon. This is where The Beef Connection shines. I was served a huge, well cut, slab of beef. It was cooked just to my liking with the perfect amount of sizzling butter. Delicious. As good as I've had in quite some time. It is worth the trip to the westbank for steak of this variety. As far as the sides go, I had spinich au gratin, which was watery, and the potatoes au gratin, which was pretty good. If everything else that I consider when establishing my rating was as good as the steak, this restaurant would have hit the 90's. That being said, if you are in the mood for steak, I highly recommend a trip across the river.
VALUE
The Beef Connection is a good value. The steaks are in line with most steakhouses in the area that serve beef of this quality and the other menu items and beverages are very reasonable.
