"Medium Rare’s straightforward menu is perfect for budget-conscious diners. There are now four area locations (Cleveland Park, Bethesda, Arlington, Baltimore), along with a few around the country. For $29.95, guests get a prix-fixe menu of rustic bread, mixed greens salad, and a top sirloin steak served with hand-cut fries. The steak is bathed in Medium Rare’s super-secret sauce (the recipe is in a bank vault). The restaurant was a superstar during the pandemic, delivering free meals to individuals in need. Reservations, carryout, and delivery info here." - Tierney Plumb, Eater Staff
