Paul’s Steakhouse and Beer Garden: A cut above the rest
Picture this: a plate heavily laden with a tender, hand-marinated strip steak and a heaping mound of steaming crab legs, awaiting the lucky fork and knife that will cut and devour this culinary masterpiece.
Is this an upscale eatery where plates run upward of $40 and attire is strictly formal? Is this New York, Cleveland or maybe even Wooster?
Not quite.
This delectable dish can be found in Holmesville, at Paul’s Steakhouse and Beer Garden, where the food is hot, the beer is cold and nothing on the menu is more than $30.
When Paul Williams decided to transform the old Holmesville Inn into a steakhouse, he revamped the place in structure and in character, installing a brand new kitchen to remake the former bar and grill into a true restaurant.
An impressive menu is a testament to that change. Start out with fried clams, or sample the banana peppers stuffed with five different cheeses and grilled to perfection. But save room for the main event, for steak is the star of this carnivorous menu. Diners can dig into a T-bone, porterhouse, ribeye or strip steak, with choices of 12, 16 or 24 ounces, depending on the cut.
The top sirloin steak is doused in Paul’s signature sweet bourbon marinade to give the meat a smoky flavor. Each top sirloin steak is lovingly marinated in the signature sauce, then vacuum-sealed to lock in every last ounce of moisture before being grilled over a radiant broiler for a perfect char. The result is a mouth-watering meal that keeps customers coming back for more.
If diners prefer a little seafood with their sirloin, Surf-N-Turf is the way to go. Have the strip and crab legs or indulge in a 14-ounce ribeye with eight ounces of lobster tail.
The menu also features pork chops, ribs and chicken. Wings served with tangy sauces like garlic, mild and barbecue are a specialty, and on Wing Night Wednesdays they go, and go fast, for only 25 cents each. From homemade pizza to breaded shrimp baskets to double bacon cheeseburgers, Paul’s has it all.
Entrees are served with a roll and a choice of two sides, including Paul’s Famous Coleslaw, a unique blend of slaw with a dash of vinegar and two types of sauce.
And if such robust flavors are too heavy for the youngest member of the family, the kid’s menu has alternative selections for smaller appetites.
The restaurant is also known for its knack for selling the coldest beer around. The sizeable beer list features reasonably priced domestic, imported and draft beers and on Thirsty Thursdays, all domestic beers are only $2.
Paul’s also features a lively entertainment scene with a DJ, live bands and comedians on weekends. Sports enthusiasts can always watch televisions tuned to the big game and for a more relaxed evening, diners can take advantage of the outdoor patio for a more private dining experience.
Paul’s Steakhouse and Beer Garden is located at 310 Millersburg St., Holmesville 44633. For reservations, call 330-279-3132.
