Steak and Ale seemed like such a mystery to me as a child. It was far too fancy and expensive for my family, and we’d have had to go a couple hours over to get to the nearest one anyway, but the commercials and the concept intrigued my young mind. That is, until a small plane crashed in the parking lot of our nearest Steak and Ale in 1979 and killed everybody on board. After that I started to worry that if we went to Steak and Ale that a plane would crash on us.

$40.93 in today’s dollars
You MIGHT get one of those for that price today (giving that it would be around $41 with inflation), but forget about three.
Yeah you ain’t getting three today.
Apparently they went bankrupt in 08. But the IP was bought by the company behind Bennigans and one may have opened in Cancun. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steak_and_Ale
When I was 23 I thought that was fine dining
