If you want a piece of steak at an economical price then Botak Jones is one of the places to be but go with a reasonable expectation. I have got a sudden craze for a piece of steak on that evening and so, i suggested to dine here. I could not quite remember when was my last visit to one of their many outlets. I decided to go with the 200 grams NZ Ribeye Steak for $16.90 that came with 2 side dishes. I requested the doneness to be of medium and to be served with Coleslaw and Spicy French Fries. I

I decided to go with the 200 grams NZ Ribeye Steak for $16.90 that came with 2 side dishes. I requested the doneness to be of medium and to be served with Coleslaw and Spicy French Fries.
It was served to my table in 10 minutes. Though it was a Saturday evening but their business seemed quiet. The steak was served together with the side dishes and mushroom sauce. It got me to wonder a little why they served it without the cutlery then i realised there is a self-service station just right in front of their stall. I helped myself with the fork and steak knife with chilli sauce for french fries and tobasco sauce for steak.
They have got the doneness spot on. The steak was slightly charred with a nice pinkish within. I can clearly taste the black pepper taste, it was just right and not overwhelming. i would prefer to have it without the mushroom sauce though as the sauce played no part in enhancing the overall taste.
Their spicy French Fries used to taste much better and came in a pretty big portion but the standard seemed to drop rather significantly and reduced in portion too. The Coleslaw was a good choice though, it tasted rather refreshing and accompanied the meat dish pretty well.
It was still an enjoyable dinner somewhat.
