RIYADH — The year 1992 will always be fondly remembered at Steak House as the year when dreams were born. Exactly two and a half decades ago – a few years before the iconic Al Faisaliah and Kingdom towers’ arose in the country’s capital – Steak House first opened its doors to the public on old Thalateen Street in Riyadh. And as the saying goes, the rest is history.
A rewarding journey of growth that began with swinging saloon doors and a handful of bandana-clad restaurant crew nurturing a thriving restaurant’s dream of being known as Riyadh’s destination for great steaks and friendly service. Indeed, years before the arrival of many western restaurant brands, Steak House was the first “casual-dining restaurant” in Saudi Arabia.
Today, Steak House is the highest volume casual-dining chain in the Kingdom, serving over 2 million guests a year, and awarded the “Best Restaurant in Saudi Arabia” honor multiple times at the Saudi Excellence in Tourism Awards annual ceremonies. Its restaurants are conveniently located throughout the country’s major cities, with continued expansions in Riyadh, Jeddah and Qassim on its 25th year.
Steak House menu today still serves some of the favorite menu selections from 1992 including its popular fresh Soup & Salad Bar. In addition, Steak House now offers a great menu variety of offerings to please everyone. From Artisan Sandwiches and Burgers to Premium Chargrilled Steaks, Chicken, Seafood and over two dozen exciting appetizers, desserts, and beverages.
“As Steak House turns 25, we celebrate this milestone with nostalgia, side-by-side with our valued guests, both our new friends and our loyal families and friends that have been frequenting us since our humble beginnings,” said Steve Skoien, CEO of Alfa Co., which operates Steak House and is a subsidiary of the Al Faisaliah Group. “Themed ‘25 Years in Good Taste,’ Steak House will bring back this October a few of the well-loved traditions as well as new exciting activities as our own little way of saying thank you for your loyalty all these years.”
All October, Steak House will be giving away free SR25 gift cards for every SR200 purchase. This will surely add unrivaled value to the restaurant’s offerings, especially when combined with the points earned by members of the Alfa Co. Rewards Card Program. Additionally, Steak House will be offering all dining guests “Free Salad Bar” on Sundays, “Kids Eat Free” on Mondays and “Free Desserts” for your table on Wednesdays. Steak House “old-timers” will also be pleased to know that the “All-You-Can-Eat Steak & Chicken” at only SR95 will be back every Tuesdays of October!
The Anniversary celebration culminates on Oct. 25 when, for one day only, Steak House will “go back in time” and roll back the prices of popular menu items to 1992 levels. Imagine the signature Black Rock Top Sirloin Steak priced at only SR65, Country Fried Chicken at SR35 or the popular Steak House Burger at only SR15.
All throughout the month-long celebration, Steak House will also have a number of in-store and social media-based fun games and contests where fabulous prizes will be given away to lucky diners and fans/followers.
“Steak House is honored to have been part of Saudi residents’ lives for the last 25 years. As we look forward to the next 25, we reaffirm our commitment to continue to be their ‘partner in good taste’ and provide only the best dining experience possible,” said Skoien. — SG
