Plenty of iceberg and Thousand Island at the salad bar, a trio of red carnations on each table, a killer amaretto sour: The unaffected appeal of this 56-year-old South Jersey institution kicks in long before your 12-ounce filet arrives, soaking in a salty pool of jus and topped with two giant fried onion rings. The least extravagant steakhouse of the bunch just may have the most heart, with waitresses who call you “hon,” are generous with the gold-wrapped pats of butter, and remind you to save room for the hot fudge sundae. Niche: Americana, with a side of baked potato. Signature steak: 12-ounce filet. The tab: Steaks $17.99 (12-ounce sirloin) to $35.95 (26-ounce porterhouse); sides included. Wine list: Pub-style list of just a couple dozen wines, most poured by the glass. Two-thirds of the state-store standard bottles are $26 or less, like the tasty Rosemount Estate shiraz.
