Flat Iron Steak & Saloon, Alexandria

Premium, USDA certified, cuts and chops rightfully command the spotlight at Flat Iron Steak & Saloon, but their supporting cast is still capable of stealing the show. For instance, instead of starting a meal by repeatedly ringing a boxing bell, diners can begin with filet mignon sliders or the restaurant's signature parmigiana tots, composed of mashed potato, applewood-smoked bacon, cheese, and dipping sauces. From there, they move onto bone-in rib eyes, top sirloin, and lamb chops, all of which are accompanied by an especially delicious spinach au gratin. Aromas from such feasts waft from the downstairs dining room to the upstairs saloon, where visitors can watch TVs while tasting Flat Iron's selection of beer, wine, and spirits.
