Hog's Breath's Cafe is essentially a steak house that promotes Prime Rib as its signature dish. These steaks have been slow cooked for 18 hours in a special oven. The steaks starts at medium rare and are also recommended at that particular meat temperature. Due to the amount of fats retained in the steaks however, these steaks have a higher fat content than most steaks and are sometimes classified as marbled meat. The signature side dish offered are curly fries, referred to by the chain as Hog's Tail Fries.
