Northwestern Steakhouse has the best steaks and they are prepared just the way I like them. I drop in every time I am in Mason City.

best steak i ever had worth every penny.

The steak was soooooo good! It was melt in your mouth tender!
Jam packed from the minute it opened. I would advise getting a reservation, but not required. We had to wait in the lounge until a seat opened, but it was WELL WORTH IT!

I was referred to come to Northwestern Steakhouse. We all left very satisfied and full. The steaks had great flavor. I had roasted chicken and was very impressed with the seasoning. The Greek salad was also a nice option.
This is apparently a highly coveted restaurant. Like many others my in-laws brought me an hour before the restaurant opened and we filed into a long line since they didn't take reservations beforehand. I think they accept reservations/call-aheads once you get there in person. Luckily, the line moved swiftly until all the tables were filled. I love the rustic feel of the restaurant! The history makes it all even better.
They brought out some soft white bread to start. It was my first time there so I wasn't sure what to order. I ended up getting the lamb chops with a baked potato and Greek salad and everyone else got prime rib with rice pilaf. The food was fantastic! The meat was so juicy, tender, and especially flavorful. They didn't overdo it with spices or try to over-complicate the dishes. Just good old-fashioned salt and pepper, some garlic, and good cuts of meat! I enjoyed every aspect of the meal! Pretty pricey but worth it for good food! I definitely recommend queuing up early! Can't wait to visit again!

We had the Tuesday night special ribeye with pasta, salad and bread. So delicious and a lot of food. The restaurant has been here over a 100 years. It small and larger booths that are very cozy. We will definitely be back if we are in the area. Mary and the other staff were very friendly and efficient.

In an age when dining out mostly consists of fast food on what feels like a conveyor belt, the Northwestern Steakhouse is a treat and a treasure. The staff is warm and friendly, the atmosphere wonderfully authentic and the steaks excellent. My wife had the ribeye, and I had prime rib. These steaks were broiled and a tasty surprise. We had to wait for than an hour for a table, but felt it was well worth it. Hope to dine there again the next time we are in Mason City, Iowa.
