"Ronny's Original Chicago Steak House" is definitely a unique restaurant. At one end of the restaurant there is a subway exit (which is located right next to the diner style kitchen) and at the opposite end they have tall diner booths. Ronny's is not going to be winning any awards on on interior decorating but did appear to be a local favourite spot. The walls of restaurant are adorned with pictures of local celebrities and members of the city Council.
While I was standing in front of the menu board trying to decide what to have for breakfast, a local Chicagoan suggested to me that I get the steak and eggs special before they stopped serving the dish. Heeding to his advice I placed my order for the steak and eggs special.
Steak and Eggs
When the food arrived in front of me, the first thought came to mind was "Wow, I think I'm going to get my money's worth". I don't think the picture does the food justice on the sheer size of the servings. This was an 8oz steak, 3 eggs, mountain of hash browns, giant texas toast and a slice of watermelon (to make sure the meal was healthy) for breakfast.
This was not the best steak I've ever had but I was great steak. The steak was cooked to a nice medium rare, and was very juicy. The Eggs were also cooked perfect over easy, which allowed for a runny yolk to be spread on top of my hash browns like an avalanche on a mountainside.
I really enjoyed the food here. It wasn't anything amazing or special but simple food done right. I almost forgot to mention that the heaping pile of food cost me a whooping $6.50.
If you are on a budget and looking for what appears to be a local hangout then I highly recommend that you head over and have a meal at "Ronny's Original Chicago Steak House."
