Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse Incredible “5 for $6, ‘Til 7″ Menu and Prime Burger Bar

Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009

 Fleming’s Steakhouse in Newport Beach has never disappointed but now they have managed to raise the bar again with the “5 for $6, ‘Til 7″ menu and the soon-to-arrive Prime Burger Bar.

The “5 for $6, ‘Til 7″ menu has been a huge success since its debut; offering a delicious array of cocktails, wines and appetizers all for $6 each nightly at the bar until 7pm.  The appetizers include a Tenderloin Carpaccio, Sweet Chili Calamari, Wicked Cajun Barbeque, Seared Ahi Tuna, Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes and as of July the new Prime Sirloin Burger with Bacon & Cheese.  Now that I have managed to try each of the options, I would highly recommend the Sweet Chili Calamari, Tenderloin Carpaccio and the Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes (with a regular menu price of $16.50 this is the biggest bang for your buck!) The cocktails include a White Cosmo, Appletini, Basil Lemon Drop, Fleming’s Mojito and Diamond Rita - which I wish I could give you more insight on but seeing that I still haven’t moved past the White Cosmo I will have to let you decide for yourself on which way to go!  So once the clock hits 5pm, head over and get a spot at the bar to enjoy these great deals with the infamous Fleming’s taste of quality and freshness.

Starting Sept. 2,  Fleming’s will add another alluring twist to their repertoire with new gourmet burgers at the bar.  Served with a mini wedge salad and onion rings, these burgers will be hard to resist.  Ranging from $10-$18, the new Prime Burger Bar even offers a vegetarian option.  The menu includes: the Fleming’s Prime Burger: Cheddar Cheese, Peppered Bacon (this burger is the only burger offered at a discount with the “5 for $6, ‘Til 7″ menu); Sliced Filet Mignon Burger: Sautéed Mushrooms, Béarnaise Sauce; Jumbo Lump Crab Burger: Creamy Mustard Sauce; Ahi Tuna Burger: Soy Ginger Sauce; Portobello Mushroom Burger: Sautéed Spinach, Creamy Goat Cheese.
