If you are not looking for much scenery but want a decent steak at an OK price, Lee’s Steak House in Daleville is a popular choice.
The smaller restaurant, which touts its more than 30-year presence, was a seat-yourself establishment on Monday night with few customers when we first walked in. The restaurant tended to fill up pretty fast after about 6 p.m., however, with soldiers and likely students who may have wanted a step up from the usual supper.
Beer and other drink options were limited to a few choice brands, but there were about seven steak cuts to select from.
Besides steaks, the restaurant also offers veal and fried chicken.
We were not given the option of appetizers, and a waiter said there was no dessert, but the New York strip ($12.95) I ordered with a baked potato and salad bar were pretty filling.
I had ordered the steak medium-well, and I think I received medium-rare, but I didn’t count my Southern accent against the kind waiter, who might have misunderstood me.
I instead chomped down on the medium-rare strip when, tossed in a little A-1 Steak Sauce, was not so bad.
The salad bar was out of ranch dressing, but the French was OK.
My date, also known as my 4-year-old, had some hamburger steak and fries ($3.95). He almost finished, which was a sign that the typically picky eater was pleased.
For drinks, I had Sprite and he had sweet tea.
Again, the sweet tea apparently was a winner. He almost finished a second cup after the nice waiter helped him clean up about half of the first one we spilled.
All in all, Lee’s was no Outback, but it wasn’t bad, either.
It was a nice environment and simple stop for a decent eat-on.
