Location Information

The Singing Sirloin, the "Home of Ballads and Salads", is a restaurant in Downtown Springfield.
Description
The Singing Sirloin's distinctive feature is its waiters, who sing to their customers and serve their steaks "rare, medium, or well-sung". The restaurant also has a concealed portcullis-like barrier at the front door, which serves to both secure the restaurant during closed hours and prevent customers from leaving without paying. The lever which activates the portcullis is disgiused as a "Please wait to be seated" sign.
History
The Simpsons also visited the restaurant to celebrate Bart's getting an A on an astronomy quiz at school. The waiters sang a song called "Happy First A" (to the tune of "Happy Birthday") for Bart. However, Homer's credit card was rejected. The Simpsons attempted to dine and dash, but were quickly trapped by the portcullis. In order to pay their bill, they ended up having to sing themselves, performing as a Mariachi band.[2]
Employees
In addition to the kitchen help and the singing waitstaff, The Singing Sirloin employs a woman named Mary Kay whose job is similar to a Maitre d'.[2]
