Steaks, along with black coffee, entire pies, and eau de lawnmower, are an essential part of the 1950s Tough Gent's Diet Plan. Dine like Ike is in office with today's Groupon: for $15 you get $30 worth of prime rib, steak, and more at Laurenzo's in the Washington Corridor.

Laurenzo's lunch and dinner menus address hunger dilemmas with a selection of prime ribs, steaks, burgers, and more crafted from 100% all-natural grass-fed beef, in addition to non-meated creations. Bite into extra large cuts of prime rib ($39.95 for 20 oz.) and Cancun rib eyes ($24.95) grilled with pineapple and honey butter to tickle meat-bones. Nicoise salad topped with Ahi tuna ($16.95) and Portobello mushroom burgers ($13.95) perfectly fill stomachs shaped like a salad or a mushroom burger. Lunch on classic BLTs ($8.95) and ham and cheddar muffins ($9.95) served on a house made English muffins before topping off a taste bud tank with bites of chocolate bread pudding ($7.50).

Executive chef Domenic T. Laurenzo cuts each dish from the same culinary cloth as El Tiempo Cantina, Laurenzo's sister restaurant. Inside this family-friendly atmosphere a series of cozy booths are surrounded by a colorful collection of sports memorabilia and vases filled with famous baseball player's confidence. Pick up an autographed Astros jersey to save for a very special casual Friday and the proceeds from your purchase will go toward the charity of your choosing.

• Some entrees resemble cultural collisions, such as the Chicken Salad Speciale, with its greens, avocado, mango, feta, honey-dijon dressing and Thai peanut sauce. It’s also a customer favorite.

• Goes for quality instead of hip factor. Great burgers, their green chili burger in particular is amazing, good menu selection, good drinks and excellent food. What more could anyone want? – Eblfc, Urbanspoon
