The Scene – Decorating the barn-like dining room are old-time Western photos, patriotic bunting and a mural featuring a covered wagon. Meals are served at picnic tables covered with red-and-white checkered tablecloths, while country-western music plays in the background. It's the kind of place where servers call you "hon" and conversation may be interrupted by raucous birthday celebrations. – – The Food – From a 6-oz tenderloin to a 2-lb porterhouse, grilled steaks dominate the menu. Fork-tender barbecue--chicken, pork ribs, smoked sausage--comes with extra sauce for…

Best Steak for the Money
by SkyMtn at Citysearch
Not a lot of variety on the menu, but the steaks have always been excellent and the price absolutely can't be beat. Their steaks do seem to cook slightly to the 'well' side. Even my wife, who likes her steaks medium-well and can't stand pink meat thought she would get medium next time.
Seating is in the open, like at a 'Western Style' Cafe. Tables are actually picnic benches covered by red and white checkered table cloths. Benches are without back support.
The wait can be very long on weekends. I recommend reservations if you have a large group. Your family will be happy here. I often take 8 or 10 people at a time to this place.
While you are there, make plans to go see their Playhouse 'farce' that they run next door, especially on weekends. Buy tickets well in advance if you want good seats.
- Pros: Good Food, Fun atmosphere, Very Cheap for Steak
- Cons: Not a lot of variety, 'Western' seating, Often crowded

Finally, great comedy where you don't have to cover the kid's ears.
Every time I go, I come away with a side ache from laughing so hard.
- Pros: Family oriented, Funny, Affordable

Good stuff!

This is a great place for steak!
I had the 12 oz. ribeye and my date had the half-rack of BBQ ribs. My ribeye was tender and cooked to perfection and had a good char-broiled flavor.
The ribs were tender and had generous amounts of meat on them. Both entrees were served with baked beans and veggies that were cooked just right. They weren't too crisp and weren't too soggy.
Our server was knowledgable, cheerful and prompt.
The best part was the prices. A similar steak at other steak places would have cost $14-$16 but at Desert Start it was only $11.99. I highly recommed this place to all! Enjoy!
Oh, you sit at picnic tables with a red checkered tablecloth so be prepared for that.
- Pros: excellent prices, hearty portions, great tasting food
- Cons: none
