Back in the day (as recent as a few years ago) Clearman's was the place for good, reliable steaks, huge portions, and a fun atmosphere. We went all the time.
But recently, we have seen a drop in quality. At first we thought it was a fluke, but as we kept ""giving it another try"" things never got any better and we stopped going.
The salad and bread and potatoes are still good and plentiful as ever. But they seem to have drastically reduced the quality of meat they are buying.
To be honest, even back in the day, I would not have said Clearman's had the best steaks - but, at the same time, there was never anything to complain about. You could always count on a steak that was good and tender.
Now, the steaks are embarrassing - tough and full of tendons. It's really sad since I liked this place so much.
If it is a cost issue, I wish they would raise prices a few dollars if it means getting a steak I can depend on. A crappy steak is no bargain at all.
Pros: Fun atmosphere
Cons: Food quality has gone down
