Washington Street Steakhouse — Restaurant in Dallas

It could be that I'm looking at this place from an "over the years" perspective, buuuut still... It's not my first pick. I still remember when they switched from real ice cream in their milkshakes to this weird stuff they'd blend together with ice. Yummy.

It had been awhile since we'd gone for burger night. So, we decided to give it another try. Remember when their burger night was "buy one, get one for $2"? Then it turned into, "buy one, get one half off"... These days it's"buy one and drinks, get one half off".... What a steal! 🤦‍♀️

The bloody Mary was alright. Had a sort of mechanical taste, but it was nicely spicey. The cook did manage to cook a frozen patty medium-rare, for which I'm actually kind of amazed. The bacon was also perfectly crisp. So, nice job to him! Buuuut the probably frozen burger bun was stiff and flat. The tots and ranch were good, but why is that the highlight of the meal?

I dunno. Once again, Washington Street is a staple here in Dallas. It's been around forever and they used to be so good, but it's not somewhere I'd pick for dinner or drinks on the regular. I wish they tried more. It didn't used to be this way, but I'd pick North Dallas...

1/13/22 The 3 stars are for the few minutes of Jodi's cheerful sas' and the part of the Biscuit that I enjoyed while waiting for the waitress and cook to correct my breakfast this morning. When ordering I asked the super slow waitress for eggs with the whites cooked but yolks runny, she said over medium. I responded okay as long as the yolks aren't overcooked. It took forever and it wasn't busy. The waitress finally brings our food and my eggs are like those gummy candy eggs so she takes them back and by the time she returns with the new eggs my food is cold and I'm over the whole experience. Besides as soon as I removed the 1st set of jelly eggs from the top of corned beef hash it looked disgusting! No wonder it didn't taste good. What a mess, part was burnt, part looks like mashed up leftovers that was just dumped on my plate. The waitress was moving at a very slow speed, we gave up on waiting for a bag. By the way instead of visiting and goofing off in the kitchen you might want to wait your tables. Might want to get this one some help with the day shift. Not one of the best days to visit Washington...

It's a decent place to eat. Waitresses are really nice, cook is super cool. Food is good, prices are a little high but I think that reflects the economy more than anything. I eat there on Fridays with my shooting team. We tip well and act super nice to the staff. Just because I don't like the music doesn't make it bad, I just hate country music. You can go alone or bring the whole family just remember that it's mostly regulars and everyone has feelings and a right to respect for the job they do. There is a bar attached which I am legally prevented from entering, due to being a horrible violent drunk with a penchant for chaos and misadvenrure (ten years sober, no midnight visits from the police) so I have never been in the bar side but in sure it's very nice for normal people. As a side note one of my shooting buddies is a veteran with very bad knees and there is only one handicap spot, so if that's important you can drop off the mobility challenged right at the door and park elsewhere. In the end it's a decent place in a small town and you will be remembered for your kindness or assholery....
