The Steak and Sandwich Shack is owned and operated by Bruce & Jan Laslie. The Steak and Sandwich Shack started out as a vending trailer called The Sandwich Shack featuring Steak Sandwiches. Bruce developed his own unique seasoning for these sandwiches and they soon became a favorite at local events and festivals.
This is a photo of Chef Buce and Chef Elijah (our grandson) at the Lawrenceville Fall Festival. After a summer of vending and much encouragement from the community, Bruce and Jan decided to expand and start their own restaurant.
On November, 17th 2008, the journey began by leasing the Old Busters Tavern. After extensive renovations the tavern was transformed into a very comfortable and relaxing restaurant. The restaurant quickly took on a life of it own and began serving up the finest steaks and home cooked meals in the area. After three months Bruce and Jan decided to make it a permanent endeavor and purchased the building.
Bruce and Jan share a passion for good food at a decent price and a nice environment for family and friends to gather. When asked they explained, “This is what we have tried to incorporate in our restaurant. We are so very grateful to the community for all the support.”
