  Loved it!. First, I need to say that I Can’t understand why I did not try this place before. I am living in the area for a few years, passed in front of the restaurant many times, but never went in. What a mistake!So anyway, Easter Sunday late evening, 7:30 pm, and we want to get the family out to dinner. We decided to Try Corrigan’s but weren’t sure they are open. A quick call to the restaurant asking if they are, confirmed that although they had a long Easter day, they are still open. So we got in the car and went over, arriving around 8:15 pm.When we arrived, the place was empty. One more couple that was finishing dinner, but that’s all. So we asked the staff if we can still sit down and they said yes. All team members were extremely pleasant and welcoming.A few words about the decor that seems to get some of the not-so-favorable reviews on yelp. Yes, it is somewhat old fashioned but it is part of what makes this restaurant different than other places. It is full of character and history and is not, in any way, off putting.So we went to ordering. For starters we got some kids favorites, onion rings and potato skins, both very good. The kids loved them and so did we.For the main courses, we went with the Petite Steak Dinner, a rib-eye, both prepared medium rare. The kids went with burgers (one plain and one chili). Everything was cooked perfectly, very flavorful and juicy. I have had many a-rib-eyes in my life, including in some highly regarded steakhouses around the country, and I can say that the rib-eye was very, very good, nicely marbled and had a very distinct rib-eye flavor. The wife really enjoyed her steak as well. The kids that are always leaving something on the plates, wiped them clean this time. After tasting the chili burger, I can understand why. It was really good.By the time we were finished with our main courses, we were very happy.We asked for the check and were, again, very surprised with a very reasonable price, for all of the above and 4 beers. We even forgot to use our coupon :-DEating on the other side of the street, in Outback, would cost the same (if not more) for very average food. Corrigan’s is 10 times better! It is a real steak house and not a steak house wannabe. Yes, you might be able to get better steaks at some fancier steakhouses but you would end up paying 3-4 times more for dinner. This is, by far, the best value for money I had in a steakhouse for years. So what’s the bottom line:1. Very nice place with a lot of character.2. Great service.3. Excellent steaks and burgers.4. Extremely reasonable price. You can enjoy a family dinner, without breaking the bank.What a great surprise. Now we have to try out the breakfast and lunch!

  Not bad not good! Wait staff is courteous and quick. Ordered steak and eggs on Sunday morning. Eggs were runny and steak overcooked! Toast is petit points not full slices of bread. Steak was a full 10oz and not bad flavor. The sides were ok. Good deal for $13.95 and edible just not great. Seems they are more interested in their bar business than the food?
