JaNuaRY 16-22, 2022 The All American Steakhouse & Sports Theater M ark and Laura Bazyk opened The All American Steakhouse & Sports Theater in Springdale in October of 2021, but they are no strangers to the restaurant business. "We have owned restaurants since 1987," Laura said. "We felt Springdale residents and Northwest Arkansas would appreciate having a place to call their own. A place they could be proud to bring their visiting friends and families." The East Coast chain has seven locations in Maryland and Virginia, but the one at 3492 W. Sunset Ave. is the first in Arkansas. The All American Steakhouse & Sports Theater opened its doors at their flagship restaurant on November 25, 2003 in Edgewater, Maryland. Its mission was simple: to offer a family–friendly casual dining steakhouse providing good-old fashioned, friendly service, while serving high-quality food, featuring, among other things, delicious steaks, and all of this, in a fun, energetic, sports-themed atmosphere. "The concept was established approximately 20 years ago in Maryland by George Jones and Brock Anderson," says Mark. "It features aged steaks hand cut in house by our butchers, and made from scratch rolls, soups, and pastas, specialty salads, drinks and desserts." When you enter the restaurant, you immediately see where the magic happens. "Our mesquite grill is on display as you walk in the door," Laura points out. "Some of our favorite menu items are the Filet with House Topping, Cowboy Ribeye, Fish and Chips, Crab Dip, Chesapeake Wings & Salmon Salad." All American Steakhouse & Sports Theater steaks are wet-aged on average 45 to 70 days, cut and then dry-aged for another 5 to 7 days. This extensive aging process is what separates this eatery from the competition. All dishes are made from scratch using the best ingredients. It's the little details that keep the guests returning, from grilling a lemon to be squeezed on a fresh grilled fish, to making the brownies for their signature dessert, the Brownie Sundae. Of course, if you really want to know what an eating establishment is all about, you need to look at what customers are saying. Here is a sample of some of the five-star Google reviews the All American Steakhouse & Sports Theater has already garnered in the short time since it opened: "The food was awesome, the staff was great, the owners were very friendly and stopped to share their story with us. Our waiter Ashley was super friendly and sweet. Be sure to try the apple bread pudding unbelievably delicious. Definitely worth your visit." – Lavelle P. "Fantastic service and food, Springdale has needed a restaurant like this for years. I had center cut Pork chops, wild rice and a wedge salad. Fantastic, and Mark the owner came to greet me and tell me more about the place. I will definitely return for more. You definitely need to go try this place." – Larry S. "Best restaurant we have been to in a long time! Staff was very friendly and the food was awesome! The French onion soup was outstanding!!!" – Laura H. A great addition to the Springdale restaurant scene, now open for lunch and dinner every day!
