Bar Number 15: Lariat Steakhouse, Saturday, January 24, 2026

Here we are on a freezing cold Saturday night at Lariat Steakhouse, let’s get inside and shake off these sub-zero temperatures.

Plenty of seats at the bar, let’s go get settled in for the evening! Plus it’s nice and toasty warm in here!

Richard was the friendly bartender on duty and here he is serving me up a bottle of Budweiser and then he took my Saturday night dinner order.

Now time to take some photos while that aforementioned dinner is being prepared.

There’s the lit-up bottles behind the bar and the half dozen beers available on tap.

Here’s a shot from the end of the bar.

Tables line the far wall opposite the bar.

There’s the main dining room over here, let’s go take a look at it.

There’s two rooms in here with lots of tables, comfortable booths and a fireplace for your dining pleasure.

The Lariat Steakhouse has been standing tall in this location since the 1940’s and has been owned and operated by the Kouri family since the ‘70’s. Read more about the history of the Lariat Steakhouse here.

Meanwhile, back at the bar…

It looks like our Saturday night dinner is just about to happen!

I got the Ribeye Steak Sandwich with an order of the Au Gratin Potatoes.

The Au Gratin Potatoes are a rich and cheesy taste sensation!

I quickly took off the tomato and pickles from this tasty looking sandwich and added a little A-1 Sauce to top it off.

This was such a delicious sandwich. The Ribeye was tender, tasty and juicy and the bun was toasted and bakery fresh!

A delicious Saturday night dinner!

For dessert I got a Brandy Alexander and it reminded me of this ice cream drink post we did in 2017!

After dinner, Dan Kouri, the owner and operator of the Lariat came over and said hi. It was great to see him and we had a nice chat.

Then I had to deal with a frozen car. Ugh. Have I ever mentioned how much I hate winter?
