Is now a good time for local restaurants to prioritize budget-friendly specials for residents?
Prime 131, located at 2505 W 11th St, has introduced a weekly Monday steak night special. This shift follows the restaurant's move earlier this year to close on Sundays and Mondays.
Why it matters
The restaurant is expanding its operating hours to accommodate increased demand from new residential development in the surrounding neighborhood. Management is testing the new schedule to gauge local foot traffic.
The steak night meal includes grilled sourdough bread, a house salad, and a side dish for prices ranging from $39 to $145. These menu adjustments address rising beef costs driven by a national cattle inventory shortage.
