Best Steak under $20: Brewco
The menu at Brewco has a gold star near the bottom of the list with the words “Best Steak – Easy Reader 2008” in the middle. 
They can update that now, because they won again for their filet mignon topped with garlic-herb butter, a delicious piece of meat that comes with your choice of side items. The cost is a nickel under twenty bucks, and you can put that five cents toward a glass of one of the dozens of artisan beers that they keep on tap. Good steak and good beer… who would have guessed that they go together so well?
