Well I picked a relatively inexpensive spaghetti and meatballs meal, which STILL is competitive. Push it up to chicken cutlets, vegetable, potato, salad, etc, and it becomes even more competitive.Even a steak dinner. Two steaks will run you about $10-15. Add vegetable, potato, salad, etc. I can go to a cheaper end steakhouse (let's say JR Steakhouse, which is a small chain on Long island. Their Early bird special (before 7:00), you can get a steak dinner for $12-14.99 (depending on what you get), which includes soup or salad, your entree, two sides, and desert/coffee. For two that would be just about $25-30. Sure, you can have better cuts, larger, etc too if you want, but let's just talk basic. Furthermore, before 7 it's also happy hour so you can have two for one beer for $5 more. (or you can skip that and have water). |
