Eating at Porter House Bar and Grill. NYC. An Amazing 2 Course $39 Steak Deal

I eat at and review the two course $39 lunch prix-fixe menu at Porter House Bar and Grill in Midtown Manhattan of New York City. One of the options on the menu is a course of steak frites. As a result, Porter House may just offer one of the best steak deals in NYC. For $10 extra dollars, you can even add on a dessert to your meal. The restaurant is also beautiful, as it’s perched four stories above Columbus Circle and provides great views.

Went to Gallaghers for their $32 lunch special, and my bill with tax and tip ended up being $175. Of course, I had a cocktail, lamb chop upgrade, and 2 glasses of wine for my meal. Yes, I fell for their $32 gimick LOL! I did enjoy the meal, but it was far from $32!!!

    Have to say I would have been willing to wait for the waiter by just munching on the fries for a medium rare steak, that was too over cooked. Clearly you enjoyed it so they must use top quality meat. It really looked like a tasty meal for $39.00, but we seem to have a problem here in the states with overcharging for wine. Cheesecake looked great, haven't had a New York cheesecake in a long long while. Thanks Andrew for taking us along, another enjoyable review.👍😉

    I don't pretend to be a "expert", but I visually could tell that the steak offered was NOT your usually requested "medium rare". However, this review was enjoyable & appreciated. The food & venue is worthy of your praise & I agree with your assessment. While I rarely am interested in desserts since I personally "get fat" eating "seconds" of EVERYTHING ELSE rather than a dessert, your cheesecake was "picture perfect" and had the appearance of what a slice of NY cheesecake should look like!!!!! I certainly would eat that slice of cake if offered to me. Can't wait to view your Austrian food adventure! As always, thank you for sharing! This is Peter M; out!

    You get what you pay for. Usually. You can tell they cut back to fit the price point. It’s all about making a profit still. Even a little. That’s what I don’t like about specials. They will always pull back. Also, as we all know, it’s the alcoholic drinks and desserts that they really make a killing on. Always lots of profit in those areas. I had this feeling while watching this that it just wasn’t enough food for you. Knowing you have a BIG appetite!

    This is a common problem. I actually prefer medium, but usually order medium-rare and what I actually get is typically medium to medium-well. So many restaurants just overcook every steak, and I'd rather risk a small chance of it coming out too rare than a sizable chance of it coming out mostly gray.

    The restaurant looks amazing. I love the decor and the views. As far as the steak being overdone, that happens every once in a while no matter where I go. Unless they've really overdone it, I'm good with it. Everything you ate looked awesome. Those shrimp brought me back to days of going to Morton's every week back when Arnie still owned it. Yes sir James, you found another top notch place to be sure. Great review, cheers.

    Good review, I like the reference to the book, at least youve shown you are not only a "eater". The thing with this kind of steak is they are very thin, its almost impossible to have a medium rare amd a nice burn color on the outside. You can have your cake and eat it, I guess.

    $49 not $39 lunch - remember the cheesecake. Buy a wonderful cut of meat- say on sale during the holidays- like a rib roast at a supermarket and cut it up into huge individual rib steaks. You could get four or five ribs at the price of $50. Then with a bit of care and preparation give yourself a superb four or five course home cooked dinner.

    For me, this video feels like a cautionary tale about steakhouse deals. Nothing particularly wrong with the food/ atmosphere etc but this doesn't look like the quality of food I'd expect at a high end steakhouse. Rather it looks like something you might get at a decent cafeteria. The only thing actually requiring cooking to order was that steak and it was the one thing that they bombed. I could do that entire meal quite easily at home. I suppose with the high cost of prime beef, steakhouses can't include the good stuff in deals. I definitely wouldn't make it a point to go to experience PorterHouse in this way.
