by As you can see, I had plans this week to write a sassy and humorous title that played off the phrase “meet cute,” but that didn’t work out. It turns out that I could probably win a Big Tex Choice Award from the State Fair of Texas because my brain is so fried right now.
I’ve got steaks, burgers, and a back-to-school special for you, along with meat-forward Restaurant Week options, because it’s a day that ends in Y.
Restaurants in Tarrant County contribute 20% of the price of each meal to charity during Restaurant Week. Lena Pope, a nonprofit that provides early learning, behavioral, and mental health services to underserved children and families, is this year’s charity.
Kirby s Prime Steaks & Seafood serves Restaurant Week menu upgrades
Kirby’s Prime Steaks & Seafood in Southlake is serving beef Wellington as a possible first dish during Restaurant Week. A green goddess hummus accompanied by cucumber relish, avocado, pita, vegetables, and lemon-infused olive oil are other choices, as is a deep-fried lobster cake.
For round two, diners can select the chef’s soup of the day, a spinach salad, or a Caesar salad. The third course, which includes the diner’s choice of pan-seared salmon, 5-ounce filet mignon, or Tuscan chicken breast, follows that lighter fare.
Kirby’s permits a number of unique menu enhancements, like increasing the serving size of the third course steak to 7 ounces for an extra $16 or 10 ounces for $24. An 18-ounce boneless ribeye costs $25 more than filet mignon, while a 16-ounce New York strip costs $35. A $35 lobster tail, two grilled and blackened shrimp, and a $21 jumbo lump crab Oscar are other bonus meals.
