Many locals know Manny’s food or know of his long-time reputation as an excellent, experienced caterer. When the The twenty first in a series pandemic hit and catering of at home food came to a temporary halt, and movie pairings. Manny Rodriguez and his son, Giovanni (formerly of Urban Counter), decided it was time to open a full service restaurant to meet the needs of the community as best they could. July 13th, 2020, was the grand opening for Manny’s Steakhouse and he and his experienced staff have been going gangbusters ever since—7 days a week, for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Good food is served up with a large dollop of friendliness and flexibility. Are you in the mood for Surf & Turf? To be clear, I mean Steak & Lobster for those who weren’t around in the 1960s. Fun fact: They call this “beef and reef” in Australia! This lollapalooza of a dinner is claimed by many as their absolute favorite at Manny’s. Well-priced, it comes with soup or salad, potato and veggies.

Gracie also likes the Cobb Salad, Gorgonzola fries and lamb meatballs. There are Crab Cakes, Shrimp and Grits y’all, and fabulous Fish and Chips. New York, Rib-Eye, T-Bone or Filets are all offered with your choice of seven(!) different sauces. Or go pescatarian with salmon, sea bass, scallops or Ahi Tuna. Lamb, pork or chicken? Absolutely. Pastas? Yes. There’s even a kid’s menu. And, of course, beer and wine.
The steady stream of repeat customers keeps this restaurant flourishing. Inside/outside seating. Pickup and delivery, too. What’s not to love?
