J Alexander has a solid PR with horsey sauce, be it the cut or in sandwich form.

Ruffino's has had a solid PR ever since it was Moran's Dinardo's/Highland House, and was called the Viking Cut.

J. Alexander's? Really?

I've had the sandwich a couple of times, it was OK. Maybe the dinner cut is a lot better, I'll have to give it another try.

I had a PR at Cafe American a few weeks ago that was incredible and I had to take half home in a clam shell, I rarely have to do that. That was the 1st one I had there, either I got lucky or they are very top shelf.

I have also had the Capital City Grill PR special a few times, very good.

Have had hit-and-miss PR at JA, sometimes a tad too marbled and fatty, which can happen at most any restaurant. Haven't had the JA sandwich in six years, maybe it's slipped?

I forget about Cap City Grill, they used to do it well, but I haven't been in ages.

Never tried it at Cafe American. Used to frequent both locations, but the Coursey one went south and closed. Haven't tried Jefferson in a decade. Usually stuck to simpler fare, salads, soups, fried rings, sandwiches, when there. Thanks for the rec!

Another question about PR is how do you like it? Sliced off the whole cooked roast or an individually grilled steak. JA sandwich is sliced off the roast, Cafe American is a grilled steak. I don't remember how it was served at Cap City.

I tend to like it sliced off, with a great horsey sauce. Am a rare steak guy, knock off the horns type. Don't all men love pink meat?

I love grill marks on most meats, but whether steak or other meats cut kabob style,etc..there is that fine line where they can either get too dried out or tough.

Many meats I do at home, especially say Soy Vai chicken teriyaki, kabobs, or thin cut pork chops, I sometimes just put lite quick grill marks on, then wrap in foil with marinade, and let it take a quick swim in aluminum hot-tub on the Weber.

One day if ever get glassman's bank, would buy a 800* industrial-grade home oven for that perfect steakhouse sear.

I agree with the first part because the prime rib there can be very good, and other times it's like a sirloin, but I don't think I've ever been disappointed with a steak that has too much marbling.
