The Old Montgomery Steak House: A Haven for Regulars
byRubenBorjasJr
Any place that idolizes John Wayne on its walls, I’m game for I’m in Historic Montgomery this week at the bright red building on McCown Street, The Old Montgomery Steak House, having a late breakfast then early lunchwith‘TheDuke’,and scoresofotherregularsthat frequenttherestaurant. It’s Veteran-owned which checks a top box in my column,andeverywaitress seemed to know every customer that entered the premises That s why I loveHistoricMontgomery
IfirsttriedtheBreakfast Taco, which is a meal in itself. It’s a mix of scrambled egg bacon hash browns, and as many other ingredients you want Mine had bell peppers and onions And the taste Awesome And be remindedthatthecookonly lightlysaltshiscreations,in respecttotheseniorcitizen palates that frequent the OMSH. I also asked for somebacon,sausage,home fries, and hash browns, as sides They have the crispiest hash browns I’ve ever devoured, and the home fries were spot on. I only lightly salted them to
mytaste.
Everything’s bigger at Old Montgomery Steak House even the lemon slicesareaninchthick. The waitress sticks to you like glue. They are talkative and make you feel welcomed. Ofcourse,thereare so many other breakfast options with omelets, eggs special, house specialties, and kids menu as well as seniorbreakfastsspecials.
By the time I was finished with breakfast, it was time for lunch. I first tried the hamburger and fries. Andberemindedthat nothing is cooked to welldone at the OMSH. You dress your own here, makingitthewayyouwant. Myfirstbiteverifieditwas just a touch of pink in the middle, very nicely done, and delicious. The thick half-pound patty makes sure you will be stuffed when you leave. And for those Montgomery High School linebackers, double upthemeatandcheese,and you’ll be satisfied The fries were also very tasty, and natural cut in the kitchen, but remember to salttoyourneeds.
blown away with the texture of the fried shrimp, it held up to bites and saucings and was nicely seasoned too. They even have a steak night, every Wednesday and Thursday after 3:00 pm, where you can choose from a 12 oz Ribeye or New York Strip with4largeshrimp,friedor grilled Of course they have steaks on the menu, and grilled to perfection at that, mouthwatering chicken fried steaks, fried pork cutlets, and grilled porkchops.
Owner Wayne Kung, a Chinese born American came over with his parents from Hong Kong to San Francisco, at a very young age. KungservedintheUS Navy and was deployed to Operation Desert Storm in his early 20’s. After his military service Wayne started in the restaurant business, like his family His father was a master noodle maker, and his family’srestauranttradition dates back 500 years in China.
Steakhouse, and others
Wayne even worked in Jeddah for 8 years, where hecookedforSaudiroyalty and the American Ambassador He came back to Texasduringthepandemic, tohaveafreshstart.
It was several years ago that Kung drove up to Montgomery and fell in love with the restaurant and since then owners LloydandNancyAshbaker, werereadytoretire,Wayne boughtitanddidn’tchange athing. Hemightsellmore shrimpthanbefore,butwhy mess with a great thing The OMSH has a little bit for everyone, if you're dieting, they have soups and salads. For those who aren’t,theyhaveeverything else.
You gotta try Old Montgomery Steak House. It’s a proven winner You will feel welcomed and treated with kindness and respect.
