A restaurant tried to pull a switch-a-roo on the type of meat I was served.

So a group of us went to a local popular American chain steakhouse restaurant and all ordered different dishes. I ordered a filet, when my food arrived, I thought the steak looked more like a sirloin than a filet.

Upon taking my first bite it was chewy and not buttery like a filet. It was supposed to be an 8oz filet, it was more like 12oz sirloin, 2nd bite confirmed it was definitely not a filet.

I must’ve been visibly upset because the manager walked over and asked if everything was ok, to which I questioned the cut. She said it was a filet (but I think she went based on the toppings that are only offered on the filet). I said hmm ok, I guess.

She offered to switch it if I was not happy, I said it was fine, however, she insisted, so I accepted.. The second steak was a filet, appearance, taste and texture.. only the cook made it EXTRA peppery for me.. jokes on them I appreciated the extra pepper :)

I've had this happen at a legit steakhouse (Beefeaters). I ordered a porterhouse and they gave me a T bone. Some might not complain but the price difference is there for a reason. Both the sirloin and the filet were undersized on what I was served and I wasnt going to pay a porterhouse price for what was obviously a smaller cut.

They ended up knocking the price down to the Tbone and we never went back.

Never been there and I will never go.
