What To Order on Augie’s Prime Cut’s New Patio Menu

Going 10 years strong, Augie’s adds raw bar, patio menu, and revamps outdoor dining area.

BY John Bruno Turiano (Westchester Magazine) – Aug. 2019

There’s a dearth of fine steakhouse dining in the Northern half of Westchester, and things become even more meager approaching the border with Putnam County. That’s why Augie’s Prime Cut has been so well received since opening in 2009, a carnivore’s oasis in a USDA Prime cut desert.

To complement some aesthetic upgrades to their patio area, Augie’s recently launched a patio menu with New England seafood shack eats, bar bites like nachos, wings, and Buffalo shrimp, plus other American comfort food favorites, and raw bar items. The majority of the new offerings are less than $20 and can be also ordered in the main dining area.
