Friday
Perry’s SteakhouseUptown, Frisco and Grapevine
While it's technically not offered all day, we would be remiss if we didn’t scream from the hilltops about the Friday Famous Pork Chop lunch deal at Perry’s Steakhouse.

This special is for both dine-in and take-out. The dinner-cut pork chop will run you $49, so to get a slightly smaller cut at lunch and save $30 is a steal of a deal.
Saturday
