HAP's Original Steaks & Seafood

Nice restaurant with an old-fashioned vibe. Good service. Was a bit disappointed with my 22 Oz. Bone-in Ribeye, just mediocre.. also it didn't have much seasoning at all. Fingerling potatoes were good + the Halibut was nice as well. Got the Oreo Bread Pudding for dessert, which I definitely enjoyed.

My god...super good

Had a lovely experience on my wife’s birthday. The food was amazing as was the atmosphere. The service was great too.
The food was super special and I think I had the best steak of my life. I do plan to visit again, and also recommend my friend too.

Great steaks. I got the lamb chops that were below par, but everything else in our party of 6 was excellent.

Great steaks and excellent friendly service!

Chris was a fantastic waiter!

Exceptional

Hap’s has that old-school steakhouse charm with a touch of upscale flair. The steak itself? Solid—well-cooked and flavorful. That said, the horseradish on the side felt unnecessary. It didn’t really add much and felt more like tradition than taste.

The salad appetizer was… interesting. Can’t say it wowed me, but it was memorable in a quirky way. Calamari came out in a huge portion with super thick cuts—some people might love that, others might find it a bit much. Personally, it felt more chewy than crispy, but hey, to each their own.

Service was friendly, but the pacing was odd. Our waiter insisted on waiting until we finished our appetizer before bringing out the steaks, which meant by the time they came, we were already pretty full. Appreciate the courtesy, but the “one-course-at-a-time” rule felt a bit rigid.

Also, they’re really eager to clear plates. Even if you’re mid-conversation or still munching, someone’s swooping in to clean up. I get it—they want to turn the table or tidy up—but sometimes you just wanna chill and finish your food without feeling rushed.

Overall, a solid experience, but a few weird quirks that might not be for everyone.

Best in town! Can’t go wrong!

Hap’s Original Steakhouse is a solid choice if you’re looking for an old-school steakhouse vibe. The atmosphere is classic and inviting, perfect for a nostalgic dining experience. While the steaks aren’t extraordinary, they’re definitely satisfying and well-prepared. It’s not the kind of place that will blow you away with innovation, but if you’re in town and craving a hearty, reliable meal, Hap’s delivers. A good spot to enjoy a no-fuss, traditional steakhouse dinner.
