Mike Shannon, former Cardinals player and current radio-host-turned-restauranteur is at it again.

"At the steakhouse, we take more of a Hall of Fame approach while, at Mike Shannon's Grill, the approach will be more personal, like you just walked into Big Mike's man-cave," explains co-owner Pat Shannon-VanMatre in the press release.
The grill will serve "comfort cuisine" in three distinct dining areas: a family-friendly dining room, a sports bar and an outdoor patio overlooking Plum Creek. Prices will range from $10 sandwiches to entrees around $15 and signature steaks that go up in price from there.
According to the press release, "menu highlights include oven-roasted Amish chicken infused with wild mushroom and truffle, plancha-seared salmon, a poached pear salad, and the Shannon's signature blend burger." The restaurant will also carry 40 wines and sixteen beers available on tap, in addition to bottled beverages.
