My local G.C. seldom does steak at lunch. But that's all right because there is enoough other tasty stuff to cause culinary overload. After 1 o'clock mine also does an "Early Bird Special" which is the dinner meal
at a discoounted price. I try to get there about 3:30 so I get the low price AND my senior discount. Then at 4 o'clock they go into full steak mode.
These were, for the lack of a better term, "lunch steaks". If I was
going alone or with someone else, I'd do like you and go at 3:30 to get that double whammy of a good deal.
I don't go as often as I used to because I *always* hurt myself by over stuffing. I really like the weekend breakfast buffet. All the bacon I
can stuff in my face. And on Veteran's Day (and sometimes the day
before) the buffet is free to serviceman/women - current of veteran.
The hassle is I stood on enough chow line when I was in Unk's Yacht
Club.
I try to not overstuff myself. I pay for it dearly if I do.
I love their breakfast but rarely do I get to go except if I go by
myself. All of our local Shoney's shut down so GC's breakfast buffet
is the only game in town now. I also do stuff myself with bacon if I
get to go.
As for the Veterans' Day lines, my parents and I try to get there
early. Our local GC usually will allow people in early unofficially. I don't usually wait more that 15 minutes in line anymore.

She told me that while some GCs do small steaks at lunch their GC's
only lunch steak is pork steak. They do offer freshly carved ham and
roast beef.
I know the words to that song Bv)=
We had a Shoney's here for a while which w3as a part of their "Big Boy" burger snatcher franchise. It converted to just "Shoneys" and ditched Dolly and Big Boy. Their breakfast buffet was pretty good. But their
old stand has been an insurance and real estate office for nearly 20 years. My search engine tells me they have done from 3K locations down
to 50 or so left. Sad.
Learned about Hardee's biscuits & gravy yesterday when I took advantage
of a freebie offer. Hardee's has the bestest biscuits in the fats food business. But their gravy??? Oy! Jasper and Eva liked it well enough
but they're pooches and not very discriminating.

I discovered there is a newer version of BW for Maximus so I will try setting that up to see if it works.

IIRC, my GC is a busy one and they do enough lunch business to justify
the additional expense of the lunch steaks. Pork steak is just as good
to me as is ham and roast beef.
My favorite is the bourbon chicken. I find that easy to eat.
Once I can get my choppers adjusted again, I will attempt to eat salad.
I went to Freiberg's German Restaurant downtown with my parents
yesterday for lunch. The eatery offers a weekday lunch special of pork schnitzel for $5.99. It is a really good-sized pork schnitzel. Mom
and Dad had rotkohl (red cabbage) and bratkartoffein (pan-fried
potatoes) as their sides and I had broccoli and bratkartoffein as my sides. With a soda served in a large stein, I got out of there for
under $10. If I'd had water, it'd been closer to $7.
What we had:

Freiberg's website is https://eatbrats.com. Andreas, the owner, was
born in East Germany and immigrated to the US about 20 years ago. My parents and I were there on Freiberg's opening night. There was lederhosen and bier everywhere that night!

As much as I dislike moderation at GC, small portions of varied food is the way to go.

It is sad. The nearest Shoney's to me, if I'm correct, is in
Morristown which is an hour's drive west of me. My local National
Weather Service office is in Morristown so if I have to go there on SKYWARN business, I'll usually stop at Shoney's with other SKYWARN
members to get the lunch or dinner buffet. The next nearest Shoney's
is in Pigeon Forge, the giant tourist trap, at a two hour drive from
here.

I don't think I've tried their biscuits and gravy. I do love their
Frisco sandwiches, both breakfast and lunch versions.
