For Jen and I, one of our favourite places to eat out if we’re in the mood for steak, is Char Char Char<\/strong> on Eagle Street Pier.\u00a0 This fanciful and ever popular monument to meat-eating has some of the best steak in Brisbane.\u00a0 And don’t they know it.\u00a0 If there’s two constants that we experience when we come to Char Char Char its great food and wretched service.\u00a0 Let me walk you through the experience.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Kilpatrick oysters<\/p><\/div>\n

When you arrive at the restaurant, its usually best to start with a drink at the bar.\u00a0 They’ve got a decent range of beer, wine and spirits.\u00a0 I’ll usually have an Asahi and Jen will have a drop of red.\u00a0 Then, when you’re ready to be shown to your table, the waitress will typically point the way, let you carry your own drink there and then leave you for a full ten minutes before coming back to take your order.\u00a0 Every time!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Wagyu beef spring rolls<\/p><\/div>\n

The wagyu beef spring rolls are so delicious that it hurts.\u00a0 The oysters are always super tasty too.\u00a0 Then after a good ten minutes of staring at an empty plate, one of the perpetually understaffed waitstaff will come clear your plate in preperation for the mains.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

300gm wagyu rump with pepper sauce<\/p><\/div>\n

You get hit pretty hard with the upsell too.\u00a0 This wagyu rump was phenomenal tasting but you get hit in the hip pocket for any<\/em> extras.\u00a0 A little bit here for the pepper sauce.\u00a0 Another couple of bucks there for the bread rolls.\u00a0 And that sparkling water isn’t free.\u00a0 They stop just short of charging a ‘seating fee’.<\/p>\n

It’s a complicated love\/hate relationship with this place.\u00a0 Might be time to try a new steakhouse I think.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
