YORKTOWN – If you find yourself driving into the Crossroads through Yorktown on SH 72 during lunch and dinner, you’ll find 5D Steakhouse and Lounge packed with customers.

“The food is good, the staff is friendly, the service is fast and it is a local business,” Garcia, 34, said one summer afternoon. “It’s an all-around great place.”

The steakhouse is owned by the Dlugosch family of Yorktown and was opened in 2015. The idea to build the restaurant and entertainment venue started one Saturday evening at the family dinner table a few years ago, said co-owner Brianne Dlugosch.

The name of the steakhouse represents the five Dlugosches in the family: parents Pete and Patricia and their children, Brianne, Brian and Brandon. The family-owned chain has locations in Yorktown, Carrizo Springs, Kenedy and Monohans, with a location in Victoria slated to open in late 2019 and a site in Port O’Connor in 2020.

The restaurant is 20,000 square feet and offers a
