FLAT IRON

Flat Iron is the kind of place where you can chow down on a beast of a steak without breaking the bank. Julian raved about the tender, well-seasoned steak and the free popcorn while waiting—who doesn’t love a solid snack while perusing the menu? You’ll leave feeling satisfied without needing a second mortgage. The ambiance is lively, and the staff (shoutout to Jordan) seem genuinely pumped to serve you.

With sides like truffle mac and creamed spinach knocking it out of the park, it's hard not to get excited about your meal. Just keep your expectations in check regarding the wait; if you’re lucky, you’ll snag a table quickly. Once you do, you're in for a treat, especially with the free salted caramel ice cream that’ll send your taste buds into overdrive. Just remember to keep it casual—it's not a Michelin-star spot, but it sure knows how to serve up a good time.
