Couple finds niche in steak delivery
Moving their business from Cedar Park to Northwest Austin last April proved to be a big success for Geoffrey and Karen Loveless, owners of Texas Steak Out.
Texas Steak Out delivers complete steak meals plus sides including salads, rolls, baked potatoes, desserts and other vegetables within a 5-mile radius of the store at 9003 Waterford Centre Blvd. near US 183 and Burnet Road.
The couple said the new location has provided more exposure and widened their customer base.
"Steak being delivered to you makes it a whole unique concept in itself. People have embraced that," said Karen, who added that she and her husband have focused on educating customers on how the concept works.
Ribeye and sirloin steaks start at $11.99, and steak tips are $9.99–$12.99. Sides range in price from $2.59–$4.59.
Customers can call in their order for delivery or enjoy their food in the business' small dine-in section. Texas Steak Out offers lunch specials as well as hoagies and burgers ($5–$7.99), and on Thursdays sells its Freddy's Fried Ribs ($12.79 for six), named after Karen's father, who invented the deep-fried pork ribs.
The couple hopes to open a second location by the end of 2013, ideally in Northwest Austin or the Round Rock area.
"It's another opportunity to create opportunities for someone else," Geoffrey said.
