5 reviews for Steak In A Sack Shoppes
This is truly a "HOLE IN THE WALL" spot....I think they have finally kicked the bucket and closed down because there NEVER open!!!! I go to the chinese spot next door all the time but I don't know when the last time I have seen this place open.....
They could and have the potenital of being a really cool spot to come to when you want something greasy, quick with a desent taste to it. I use to come here alot especially in the mornings on Saturdays for some good ole Steak & Eggs and a Lemonade Ice Tea Mix (DC's Finest)
This place was just what I was looking for. I wanted something regular, nothing fluffy, real food that reminds me of the D and this place was it. Crazy big portions of steak chopped up with onions, eggs on the side, toast piled high! UM...melt in your mouth! It is really slap your mama good. I got breakfast, didn't want to ruin my good thing with a sack. I will def be back!!!
After making a presentation at the National Harbor, my boss knew just where to go to feed my tummy.
This is a small, down home joint. We got some stares when four men and a lady all walked in, all business suit-ed up and wearing long black coats. My boss is / was a regular, so we were greeted with pleasantries and our orders promptly taken.
I had turkey bacon, two eggs over medium, home fries and toast. The eggs were cooked just right--the yolk was cooked around the edges, and slightly runny in the middle. The turkey bacon was realllly good (made me wonder which brand they use so I could buy some instead of the one I usually buy). The home fries were a disappointment for me, but that would be because they were "soft". They were not fries, per se, but cut up potatoes that were pan fried with some seasonings. The taste was good, but I prefer 'em crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. No big deal, I ate some of it anyway. This big breakfast was reasonably priced at somewhere around $6.50.
The lady who served us (I presume is the owner) was a real doll. Parking is not too bad; we were there at a good time, but the lot seems big enough that you could find a place to park regardless of the day or time of day.
I love a good greasy spoon to the point where I often go out Saturdays and hunt them. (I scour Yelp for them too, please send your suggestions) These places produce some of the best breakfast around. So, I was psyched to find the Steak and Sack while on drive about.
I was SO disappointed by it though. I got their signature sandwich, steak-in-a-sack (How could I not?) Ugh! Not good. It was chewy overcooked meat on a pita. They had promised "home made Arabian bread" on the sign over the kitchen, but it was clearly a stale store-bought pita. This would be totally forgivable if it tasted good. It did not. The meat was chewy overcooked gristle that in skilled hands could have been transformed into tender Philly cheese steak style sandwich. au contraire. It had the requisite grease, but resembled in both taste and smell the kind of left overs that dogs reject. It was served with a side of shredded white iceberg lettuce and unripened tomatoes topped with a healthy smear of mayonnaise that was designed to be ignored.
My sig other got the chipped beef over toast (Told you we like greasy spoon food). Here you expect a mess of nasty gravy over white toast and they did not disappoint. Only, the bread was stale again making it hard to eat even when smothered in gravy WTF! How do you mess up a dish that is SUPPOSED to be nasty?
I just can't recommend even trying this place. FAIL.
Greasy Spoon! I really like greasy spoons for breakfast. There's something about the way they do breakfast. I really think it's just...eh grease and butter. Those weekends in southeast bring limited choices when I can't get the beau to cook.
However, when the gang mentions Steak in a Sack I'm all ears. This is a rather small place in the Marlowe Heights shopping center that has been around for 30 years. The name comes from their signature sandwich which is a steak sandwich in pita bread or a "sack". They fall just short of claiming they invented the pita according to the sign on the wall.
I've never had the signature sandwich but I've been to this place many times for breakfast. There is usually a short wait as this place is very popular among the locals in PG County. I usually order the salmon cakes with eggs. The salmon cakes are a little on the dry side but I don't really care because they taste so good. Everyone is full and satiated after we leave here so we take a nap until the Redskins are set to play. The only thing they really lack is service. A few of the veteran waitresses are good but the younger ones don't know what they are doing.
