NYY Steak (Coconut Creek)
Posted on August 11th, 2015

***** NYY Steak, (Seminole Casino Coconut Creek) 5550 Northwest 40th Street, Coconut Creek, Florida 33073, (954) 997-6700.

Way-back on 2/15/12 Jeff Eats told you guys about NYY Steak located in the Seminole Casino Creek Coconut Creek- in Coconut Creek. That “review” is down-below…

Long story short, since that “review” was published, Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats have eaten in NYY something like 5-times, with the latest “outing”- being last night. For what it’s worth, all of the meals that Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats have had, were all right on the money!

Last night, I got to thinking that Jeff Eats rarely if ever hears- NYY Steak mentioned in conversations about South Florida’s best steak-joints. No ifs, ands or buts- the 26oz bone-in-ribeye with grilled onions and French fries- that I had last night and didn’t come close to finishing- could easily be matched against the best of breed down here in sunny South Florida-same story for Mrs. Jeff Eats’ pan seared snapper!

Anyway,

Jeff Eats just wanted to mention NYY Steak to you guys, again…

It’s a very good steak joint!

NYY Steak (Coconut Creek)
Posted on February 15th, 2012

***** NYY Steak, (Seminole Casino Coconut Creek) 5550 Northwest 40th Street, Coconut Creek, Florida 33073, (954) 997-6700.

Go figure!

One of the best-“upscale steakhouses” in South Florida is located at the Seminole Casino Coconut Creek in- Coconut Creek…That’s right, the casino where you-gotta wear an oxygen mask because the cigarette smoke is so brutal—as part of a recently completed $150,000,000 renovation/expansion has opened an absolutely georgeous looking steakhouse with fabulous food and service. You can check www.seminolecoconutcreekcasino.com for menu/prices/photos. By the way, NYY is a joint venture–Seminole Indians/New York Yankees (there is another NYY at Yankee Stadium).

NYY…New York Yankees, get it? All kinds, of New York Yankee black/white photos, autographs…no dark wood–or dim lights here…but rather, a great looking open kitchen, light oak woods, bright lights, plenty of glass. Like I said before, an absolutely gorgeous looking joint.

When you check NYY’s menu, try not to get sticker-shock…no question about it- that $51.75 24oz bone in ribeye is “high” even for an upscale steakhouse–Now, I maybe going out on a limb here, but I think- that casino-joints like NYY get a ton of customers using their casino “PLAYER’S CLUB” rewards/points to pay the bill. If I’m right—the restaurant can charge more than what most folks would consider “normal”- because many customers aren’t using real-money. So, if you go there, I think you will find that many of the “diners” are eating on-the-arm.

At this juncture of the discussion, let me tell you that NYY looks totally out of place at the Seminole Casino. Nothing for nothing, but the Seminole Casino isn’t in this boy’s opinion–an upscale looking property. Now, there may-be something more developing at the Seminole Casino that’s gonna get it looking more like the Hard Rock operation in Hollywood-so NYY may eventually make sense, but for right now, NYY looks like a fish out of water. Personally, I don’t see non-casino players making special plans/reservations to eat at NYY, despite the fact that its food is absolutely dynamite.

A recent dinner had me “doing” the aforementioned 24oz ribeye, 28oz porterhouse ($54.75), veal chop milanase ($44.50), roast chicken ($28.50), lemon pepper halibut ($31.50), steak fries ($9.50), lobster mac & cheese ($11). Every item was delicious. On the service front, excellent without the “snotty” know-it-all attitude you find at many upscale steakhouses.

There are two ways to play NYY Steak. You can gamble your heart out…and accumulate points to spend or you can just fork over cash or your credit card at the end of the meal.

NYY Steak is a homerun…pun intended!

NYY Steak is open Monday, Thursday-Sunday 5pm-11pm. The joint is closed on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Wendy’s Pretzel Bacon Pub Cheeseburger

Posted on September 2nd, 2020 · American Breakfast Deals Fast Food · No Comments »

* Wendy’s Pretzel Bacon Pub Cheeseburger.

I “think” that somewhere in the below story- there’s a free Wendy’s Pretzel Bacon Cheeseburger offer…

From qsrmagazine.com

Wendy’s Pretzel Bacon Pub Cheeseburger.
WENDY’S
Wendy’s introduced the Pretzel Bacon Pub Cheeseburger. After a few years out of the pretzel-bun game, the new and improved Pretzel Bacon Pub Cheeseburger has re-entered the menu. In between the soft pretzel bun lies a quarter pound of fresh, never frozen beef topped with Muenster cheese, three strips of Applewood smoked bacon, smoky honey mustard, warm beer cheese sauce, crispy fried onions, and pickles.

“We love working with our Culinary Innovation team to deliver on emerging food trends and flavors that customers can’t get enough of,” says Carl Loredo, CMO for The Wendy’s Company. “Like we did with Spicy Nuggets, we’ve been watching and listening as customers have been craving for us to bring Pretzel back. We married the fervor for our former pretzel bun with the increased love for gastropub-inspired flavors and created a cheeseburger that is, in a word, unforgettable.”

Made with high quality ingredients fans have come to know, love and expect from Wendy’s, the Pretzel Bacon Pub Cheeseburger is a unique addition to the Made to Crave line.

“We adopted innovative techniques and ingredients you’d find at popular gastropubs and combined them with Wendy’s signature high-quality ingredients to deliver this amazing new cheeseburger, the Wendy’s Way,” adds John Li, VP of culinary innovation for The Wendy’s Company. “After our first bite into the Pretzel Bacon Pub we knew we had all the right ingredients to blow away customer expectations—even the pretzel bun fanatics —and create an experience people won’t be able to stop talking about.”

As if you needed another reason try it, from Friday, September 4 to Monday, September 7 customers can score a free Pretzel Bacon Pub Cheeseburger with any Wendy’s purchase over $15 exclusively on Postmates with the code PRETZEL. Customers can also get the Pretzel Bacon Pub and all their Wendy’s favorites delivered via DoorDash, Grubhub and Uber Eats.

Order the new sandwich via Wendy’s drive-thru or contactless pickup via mobile order.

The Pretzel Bacon Pub Cheeseburger joins Wendy’s Made to Crave line and is available now for $5.69. Chicken more your thing? Swap the quarter pound of fresh, never frozen beef for the Homestyle filet for $6.19.
