Skirt Steak SpecialMarinated and grilled with fresh corn, bacon, asparagus and onions over mashed potatoes. I enjoyed this dinner, but would have preferred not to eat corn on the cob in a restaurant. It came off as a little lazy. Don’t get me wrong, it tasted good but I was not at a backyard BBQ. No Frill Bar and Grill, Norfolk, VirginiaPhoto © Moti Eats
