What to expect

A sizzling entrée typically pairs a protein — sirloin, chicken or shrimp — with peppers, onions and a sauce, plated over the hot skillet so it keeps cooking a little as it arrives. The appeal is as much the aroma and presentation as the food itself. Because the skillet stays hot, give it a moment before diving in.

Since these plates run warm and savory, a cold drink pairs well — the drinks menu covers the options. If you want a specific cut of beef rather than a skillet plate, that's the steak menu.
