Pottstown, Pennsylvania, is a small rural town located on the fringes of the major city of Philadelphia's suburbs. Lying along the banks of the historic Schuylkill River, Pottstown is less than an hour's drive from Center City, where there is a wealth of steakhouse diversity. Several opportunities exist in the immediate Pottstown vicinity as well.
LongHorn Steakhouse, located in the south of town on Town Square Road, is distinctive from its competitors in its offering of a "Discovery Wine Flight," which includes, at a discounted price, samples of wine that have been matched to a particular steak. They also offer 16 different types of steaks, a number not surpassed by other restaurants in the region. They also offer steak additions for those with larger appetites, such as a lobster tail or sauteed mushrooms and onions.
Pottstown's Applebee's is often frequented by large groups with diverse tastes. A menu offering a wide variety of options is more likely to appeal and satisfy the desires of a larger group of people. In addition, Applebee's offers private dining for larger groups, such as small business gatherings. The menu includes six different steaks, two of which are on the "under 550 calories menu," one of the unique features of Applebee's.
If patrons order the Hibachi Teppanyaki at the Fujiyama Japanese Steak House, the chefs will bring out the grille and cook the dish right in front of the table. It is clear that both the waiters and the cooks are deeply invested in the art of cooking, and hold the ritual of dinner to be of more than practical value. The enormous menu consists of traditional American steaks, such as New York strips, in addition to the various Hibachi items. Lunch is also offered with the restaurant opening at 11.
Located just south of Pottstown in Phoenixville, Pennsylvania, the Seven Stars Inn bills itself as "the original Chester County steakhouse." It is located in a quaint historic building that has stood as a restaurant since 1736. By far the highlight of the dining experience, aside from the cultural immersion, is their special Roast Western Prime steak, which is slow cooked over the course of the day. A well-stocked wine cellar and a tremendous stuffed-lobster dish complement their infamous steak menu.
