We eat here frequently and really enjoy the food and the customer service. Our latest visit allowed us to have Jenny as our waitperson, and was superior. We had a special request and she made it happen with a smile. The cup of cheese you will receive when seated was tasty with the crackers. The meats were cooked to perfection and the veggies tasted fresh. The building is old and needs a refresh but I actually enjoy the ambiance with pictures and natural settings. We have had bad service by one particular waitperson in the past, so I always ask for Jenny as she is personable and always wanting to ensure you dining experience is great. They have specials Monday-Thursday with great prices. Any meal anytime is always great. Prices are $$$ but well worth it. Reservations are recommended.

I am truly disappointed. This was not our first time here, but it will be our last. My husband and I ate here for our anniversary Tuesday night and everything went down hill after we were seated. My husband tried to order prime rib but was told that one of the staff didn’t turn on the prime rib oven in time, so they couldn’t serve prime rib rare but could serve it medium well, how can you cook something medium well but not rare? Ok, he was sad, but we decided to split the porterhouse steak like we had the time before. When this steak came out, it looked decent until we cut into it. We ordered it medium rare and parts were over cooked, parts were undercooked, and some parts were fine. After each one of us took a bite, we looked at each other and said “I don’t think they seasoned the steak.” And I mean I don’t even think they put salt and pepper on it-it was just cooked meat. We decided to let our server know and she took the steak back to the kitchen. They took the steak we had cut into with the forks we’d eaten our salad with and put that steak back on the grill after they actually put some seasoning on it. We’d finished eating our sides by the time they brought the now seasoned mostly overcooked steak back out to us. There was so much char on the outside of the steak the picture with this review was what we had to cut off just to be able to eat it. At least the Red Velvet cake was still up to par. We never once saw a manager and I couldn’t even tell you who that was supposed to be.

Most Amazing SteakHouse I have EVVERR been to in my life!!! Not only do you get quickly served with delicious Cheese spread, but EVERYTHING is hand prepped in house and Exquisite!!! Even the salads have many fresh cut ingredients and you can add fresh cut cheddar cheese and fine house cut delicious bacon... Unlike any restaurant i've EVVERRR been to. The appetizers are all fresh and Amazing, then when your allmost full LoL they bring out the best steak i've ever had and a superb side including with the entree after the salad, and dont get me started on the Almost dozen House-Made desserts to end are just the firework ending Go-To BEST meal you can get and all at an equally Excellent price! Thats why Payton Manning and (The Fonz) have all booked rooms here and signed pictures everywhere on there special occasion night outs. Because that is what this place if for... A VERRRYY SPECIAL OCCASION! Prices are fair and the atmosphere is fit for a Special moment that you will remember For-Ever! Wish I could eat there delicious Prime-Rib Every day... Which is Available Every day too just to add to the significance of finding a place like this. If there are any bad reviews of this place it is because they were either Vegan; not smart, or a local business in competition Trying To Take Down The Best Of There Competition.

We ate here for a family celebration and the quality is no longer there. The total was $175 for 4 people. Bread is no longer served, the salads were skimpy, the entrees we wanted to order were not available, and the prime rib was almost all fat. Definitely not worth the price. One in our party said it was the worst meal they had ever had. Two of us ordered dessert (Red Velvet Cake and Italian Cream cake) to go. Both desserts turned out to be old and stale. Service was also poor and our server never came back to check on us during the meal. We will not be returning.

Great, attentive servers and delicious, melt in your mouth steak. I had a petite filet, kids had petite strip steaks, and my husband had a porterhouse. All of us were 100% satisfied. Good size serving of fried pickles. Dessert was red velvet cake and German chocolate cake, both amazingly delicious.

I have eaten at Ye Olde Steakhouse several times this year. We liked the food and the cheese and crackers was a nice snack while waiting a short time for the salads. The steaks were on the expensive side. Limited seafood offers, but Overall I would recommend and I would go back, we just wish the cost was not so high. It will deter some future visits due to the high costs of the steak entrees, We are retired seniors. Thanks Scott & Shawn

Great place to eat steak!

I really love the history, atmosphere and the service! 5 stars on those 3 any day of the week. I have dined there on two separate occasions and unfortunately the steaks are not up to par, almost flavorless for a ribeye. For the same price you can find amazing steak elsewhere.

great prime rib done just the way I like it. The small was huge, I can't imagine what the large 20oz looks like. I took about half home for breakfast - steak and eggs?

Delicious food and great service. We went there before going to the Reba concert. The service was top notch and we all had a great experience. The prime rib was spot on
