Pete's Place
3095 E. Fremont Ave.

Just want you all to know that this is a local's hideaway. One night or two nights a week (Fri., Sat., Sun.???) they have an excellent steak on sale. It might me the T-Bone or something like that. But, if you get it the way you ordered it, you will LOVE it!

If the cook decides to undercook it, don't even bother send it back for him to fix it because he will throw it on the grill and it will taste AWFUL!! Just ask the waitress to take it off the bill and she will.

But if you get it the way you asked for it, it is wonderful.
