Before its delicious flavor properties were discovered, steak was originally only used for covering black eyes or plates of black-eyed peas. Enjoy the fruits of meat with today's Groupon: for $15, you get $30 worth of dinner fare and drinks at Cloyde's Steak and Lobster House.

Cloyde's Steak and Lobster House's staff sets diners' appetites sailing with an upscale surf 'n' turf dinner menu. Crafted from Midwest corn-fed beef, the premium steaks at Cloyde's trample hunger pangs with a herd of tender, dry-aged cuts of certified Prime beef. The 12-ounce Angus roasted prime rib of beef ($25) provides plenty of marbling for teeth to sculpt into meaty masterpieces, and the 14-ounce Angus center-cut new york strip steak ($29) sends a beefy slice of the Big Apple to hungry mouths. A display of live Maine lobsters (market price, up to 5 lbs.) dance in a chorus line, and other sea-faring dishes include the Scottish salmon ($26), which arrives fashionably roasted via cedar plank. All seafood is ordered fresh in the morning for afternoon delivery, ensuring maximum taste and minimum jetlag. The menu also includes tempting desserts and wines to accompany lonely entrees. Cloyde's is open nightly from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m.
