The Star of the Show: Surf & Turf Done Right

Bandit’s Grill & Bar isn’t playing around when it comes to their surf and turf. The centerpiece? A massive 16-ounce prime rib grilled to perfection over red oak—something they've been mastering for over 35 years. The smoky, juicy beef has a crust so perfect, it’s the kind of bite that makes you pause, close your eyes, and savor the moment. But they didn’t stop there. Pairing it with tender lobster tail takes the experience to an entirely new level. 🦞

 

The lobster tail, served with drawn butter, is juicy, flavorful, and cooked just right. Add smoky barbecue sides for a combo that screams indulgence. If you’re looking to create a core memory this holiday season, this dish will deliver.

 

Holy Trinity of Lobster: Bisque, Mac & Cheese, and Tail

Seafood lovers, rejoice! Bandit’s Lobster Fest features a trio that’s pure culinary magic:

 

• Lobster Bisque: Creamy, velvety, and packed with rich seafood flavor, this soup is the ocean dressed in butter. It’s the kind of dish that makes you pause mid-conversation just to savor it.

• Lobster Mac & Cheese: Comfort food transformed with chunks of sweet, tender lobster. Gooey cheese and perfectly cooked pasta take this dish to show-stopping levels.

• Lobster Tail: Tender, juicy, and cooked to perfection, served with drawn butter for the ultimate bite.

 

Each dish is a standout, but together they form a seafood trifecta that’s impossible to forget. 🌟

 

More Options for Every Palate

If red meat or lobster isn’t your vibe, don’t worry—Bandit’s has a variety of other standout dishes:

 

• Saddle Up Salmon: Jamaica-spiced salmon topped with fresh mango salsa. This dish is a tropical escape, balancing richness with a fresh, fruity kick.

• Tri-Tip: Hand-cut, slow-roasted, and grilled to perfection. Pair it with Bandit’s authentic barbecue sauce and ranch beans for a classic barbecue experience.

 

With options like these, everyone at the table is guaranteed to find something they love.
