Eating Unlimited Ribeye Steak for $45 at Legasea. Best Steak Deal in NYC?
I eat and review the unlimited ribeye steak deal, which also includes unlimited salad and fries for $45 at the Midtown Manhattan restaurant, Legasea Bar and Grill. I find out if the offering is the best steak deal in New York City.

That's silliness right there. I'd be there 3 days a week for lunch. That salad looked really good, too bad about the acidic dressing. The steak looked really great. Another one in the books and well done James. Cheers

The acidic dressing might actually be a good thing - helps digestion and puts more beef into you.

Vinaigrettes are always acidic, really. I suspect you can go in next time knowing that and request the dressing on the side and control the portion.

@@Jamesnu Wow it looks like an amazing deal! Everything looked delicious! Were the servers quick or slow? That's very important in all you can eat because you r relying on the server to bring u food.
I imagine it would be hard not to feel competitive with the amount of food you're getting on a deal like this, but 3 portions of steak is pretty respectable!

Thank you for another superlative review! I'll have to give Legasea a try this week. My usual go-to is The Knickerbocker Bar and Grill on University Place in the Village. We usually get Knickerbocker's Famous T-Bone Steak, which comes with fried or mashed potatoes & their special creamed spinach. It's a great deal and incredibly flavored steak. For one it's $54.00, for two $53.00 p.p., for three $52.00 p.p., for four 51.00 p.p. Their bread is also fantastic. However Legasea is $9.00 less and it is unlimited. Personally I can only eat an order of fries and a salad, but unlimited ribeye is a wonderful perk.

James: your timing on this video was perfect for me as I am planning on coming to NYC in january. I've eaten at L'entrecote in NYC & Sunny Isles, FL & Skirt Steak. They both use a hanger steak or bavette! At $28 Skirt Steak WAS a good deal! L'entracote in NYC @ $35 is a good deal in Florida it's NOT a good deal @ $50! So, seeing the quality of a rib steak at Legasea makes $50 a deal! Your 2nd & 3rd meat portions were a bunch of pieces not a whole steak. Cooked right, so no problem! Yes, I like the fact that there is space to eat! SUPER!

I always say, if you have money, you can find almost anything you want in NYC. In the Washington, D.C. area, there's only one place that's called Medium Rare. Same concept as this for $30 per person. I'd rather have the rib eyes at Legasea though. $45 is a great deal. Most high-end steakhouses in this area now priced their rib eyes between $60 to $75 just like New York.

The best way to eat this meal, eat as much steak as your stomach can take, then some fries. Then eat your salad last. Salad is a roughage which will help break down all foods consumed prior. Americans eat salad in the incorrect order. Eating your salad first will just take up some space in your stomach, and you won't eat as much of your protein or sides.

I am a pretty big dude and I am very full after about 14$ worth of ribeye from my local grocery store - that's roughly 1.5 lbs of ribeye last I checked, and that's only eating a little bit of bread on the side, the rest is pure steak. You'd need to eat ~ 3x as much steak as me in a single sitting before you broke even - counting tip and taxes, probably more like 4x as much steak. So yeah unless your appetite is huge, like 6000 calories in one sitting huge, just get your own steak from the grocery store lol.
