“I love the chef Chris. He been here for long and makes the food with love. Keep him forever!! It should be named “Chris steakhouse.” I’ve been coming here since I was a child with my dad before he passed. This restaurant makes me feel like I’m home again.“
“Our server Friday evening was Kristi. What an AMAZING experience we had. We have come in a few times before but this time was lights out. Kristi was professional , funny and took great care of us. Kristi is the reason we will be coming back...the food was good as well but Kristi made our dining experience extra special. Thank you again Kristi.Parking: Many“
“We decided to try The Smithy for our anniversary dinner out. It has kind of an up to date 70’s steakhouse vibe. It’s one of a dying breed that still has the old school salad bar that’s included with your meal. It had a nice steakhouse menu with a nice variety of selections. I got the French onion soup starter. The flavor was good, but I don’t think the cheese was Gruyère that is what’s supposed to be used, I’m pretty sure it was mozzarella. For our Entrees I had the porterhouse and my wife had the filet. Both were cooked perfectly to perfection to a nice medium rare. Both came with a baked potato that was cooked perfectly as well. The only knock I have on the potato is the up-charge for the bacon and chives of $2 each. Especially when you can get bacon bits included with the salad bar and the amount of chives were negligible. We decided to have the brownie sundae for dessert and that was a nice throwback too. The waiter said they had a good cappuccino so we gave those a try with the dessert. We were kind of disappointed with those as well as they were basically instant coffee with some cream and topped with whipped cream, not a cappuccino. Overall the food was very good. Our waiter was very helpful, personable and friendly as well so that was nice.This was a very nice steakhouse with great food. It has a few areas that could be improved on a little bit, but the good far outweighs any negatives (I won’t say bads here).I would happily go back again.“
“Longhorn Shelton,CT. Is very good! Special thanks to Dotti (Dorothy Z) for excellent service! The bread, salad w ranch, steak, loaded baked potato (never ran out of loaded) perfect timing, great temperature, overall amazing! Slight ding on the atmosphere score, the overhead music was not traditional country or western. Needs more Texas! Bob Wills or Ernest Tub, even Willie Nelson, would have been better. Thanks Carlos GM, you have a good thing going. See you all again soon.Parking: Lots of free parking“
“Overall food was delicious. Fried calamari was a bit overcooked. Ceasars salad was delicious as was filet mignon, garlic mashed and sautéed spinach. Joseph, our waiter and staff, is very attentive. We've been to the Stamford location and a great experience as well. Given the size of the room, we were elated that it was quiet to enjoy our company and talk.“
“Priceless. My dad and I come here year after year…porterhouse for two. 5pm! Tomato and onion salad. Creamed spinach and a baked potato. Shirley Temple and an Arnold Palmer. Sinatra on the radio. All just as it should be!! I treasure this time with my dad and suggest you bring yours to Joesph’s.“
