I love steak. I have always loved steak. My mom was vegetarian while I was growing up, and there was a point when I tried to be vegetarian too. I eventually gave up, with the excuse that I was anemic and needed the red meat for the iron. Not that I would eat it every day, or even once a week. It was more like a few times a month, but it was always soooo good.
I am no longer anemic (thanks to a celiac diagnosis), and regularly eat vegetarian meals, both for the sake of my health, the animals and the planet. But Wolf Lodge Steak House is a treat I find myself going back to from time to time. They have lots of things on the menu that can be made gluten free, though, sadly, a gluten free menu does not exist. When discussing options with our server, she was not sure that potatoes were gluten free (comments like that always make me a bit nervous). And then there are things like the salad dressings, which are made in house but are lacking an ingredients list. Best to stick with oil and vinegar. Or skip the salad all together. Iceberg lettuce and a few carrots don’t quite qualify as a salad in my book anyway.
So So Salad
On the bright side, the steak was huge, loaded with flavor, and a chewy texture, cooked to perfection (a Spokane anomaly IMO). The baked potato was one of those double serving size, and the kitchen left off the bacon bits because they weren’t sure about the gluten content. The final surprise came in the form of extra veggies gratis, because we were sharing a meal!
Flavor Filled Steak with Trimmings
Overall, a good experience and a great steak.
Three Stars: Staff, Good Food, and Value.
