50 Best Steakhouses near Jersey City

“This place is so romatic and the staff and food are great. We left happy and ready to return soon.“

“The food drinks and views are excellent… can’t wait to go back and bring friends!!“

“Great Food, Great Service Great Atmosphere. So we were bummed when we saw they closed the original location because how much we loved the place. We were relieved when they announced they were opening up in a much more appropriate and highly upgraded venue. This was perfect timing for us to celebrate our 9 year anniversary here. Upon arriving the inside captures the comfort and style of the Livingston location and then improves upon it with the beautiful outside seating area. Now onto the food which is just as good if not better than the original location im glad to see the quality has remained consistent. My steak was cooked to perfection and my wifes pasta dish was packed with quality flavor. The drink menu was definitely brought to the next level as well everything seemed like it was fine tuned and everything we tried was on point and had its own unique delicious flavor profile. Andy behind the bar was very knowledgeable and an absolute pleasure to talk to about the different cocktails. For dessert we shared the tiramisu which was great it wasn't youre traditional kind but we loved the spin they put on it with the cake and ice-cream. Lastly for service Jonathan took amazing care of us and made our special day very memorable along with the rest of the staff. Everyone that came by the table was professional and had a smile on their face. They all seemed happy and took pride in their work which was nice to see. We will definitely be returning in the future. I implore anyone that reads this to visit and support this wonderful place.“

“From appetizers to dessert everything was amazing. The food was cooked perfectly and staff was great. Loved the calamari and the steak was cooked to perfection. The atmosphere was inviting unlike larger restaurants. The staff was very attentive and friendly. The owner came around and made sure everything was to your satisfaction. Will definitely be going back very soon.“

“If I could give Helena more than five stars, I would. She was nothing short of legendary.

From the moment we sat down, Helena made us feel genuinely welcomed and taken care of. What impressed me most was that she was also managing a very large party right across from us, yet you never would have known it. She handled everything with incredible grace, professionalism, and efficiency—never looking rushed, never making anyone feel forgotten, and always with a warm smile.

She has that rare ability to make every table feel like they’re her top priority. Our drinks stayed full, our food arrived perfectly, and she checked in at just the right moments without ever hovering. Watching her seamlessly juggle such a demanding workload was honestly impressive.

Essex Restaurant is fortunate to have someone like Helena. Outstanding service like hers is hard to find, and she turned a great meal into an unforgettable experience. We’ll absolutely be back, and we’ll be asking for Helena every time.“

“Briken was great! I order a chocolate martini and it was very good. He was kind and attentive even when opened my wallet and change fell out. He was quick to help pick it up. I finished the night dipping my complementary potato chips that are house made in my chocolate martini“

“Consistently good service! Our server Christian was great.“

“We lived in nyc for 30 years. Recently moved to DE. God only knows how much we miss the nyc culture. Nothing holds a candle to it. Thank you Aaron for such a delightful lunch today at your restaurant. Best Manhattan I’ve had in a long long time! You were so attentive and accommodating. Service the best! Thank the kitchen for the great food also! Will be back soon with our nephew and his spouse!“

“A New York classic experience! From their cooked to perfection Prime Sirloin Salad to the Dark Chocolate Mousse. Keens delivers great flavors in a cozy and historical setting. A must try!“

“Great steak, food will ready very quick!“

“Make sure you get the 🌽 it is delicious Amazing steak and the sides are excellent along with the service I can’t recommend highly enough“

“Visited on Wednesday night to celebrate mine and my husbands wedding that day and as soon as we walked in we were greeted by lovely friendly staff. We were seated quickly and were introduced to our server. The atmosphere was amazing and the food was fantastic. We opted for the Korean bacon to start and we both had the butchers feast. Outstanding. The steak was beautiful and the dishes that came with it were amazing too. The short rib and egg soufflé were my favourite. Thank you for letting us celebrate our wedding day in your restaurant.“

“Had a great experience here! William was amazing and so accommodating! Definitely will be coming back for sure! Thank you“

“There was not a single negative thing with our trip here. The food was beyond our expectations and the service was even better!“

“Excellent as always. One of the best steakhouses in NYC. Pro tip - if it’s just two, sit in the cozy front corner of the bar in the speakeasy below for you meal and def order the twice baked and the creamed spinach“

“My favorite local steak frites spot! I always get the same order of petite filet, it’s SO GOOD and served with the best ever fries!!! Shoutout to the manager Andres and chef Adam 🙌 amazing service and food. Love the team here“

“My first visit to King of Meat
at a friend’s recommendation. Our waiter Rowin was attentive, accommodating and made the experience delightful. We came at 6:30pm on a Friday and was surprised they had a reduced price “happy hour” for Margaritas and beer til 7.
We ordered the cheesy dip with bacon bits and chips as an appetizer and it was DELICIOUS!!! For dinner we had the smash burger and quesadilla with steak and mushrooms. Both were yummy. They have a good drink menu, though not too many wine choices. In addition to Rowin, I appreciated the attentiveness of the owner who stopped by as well as the bartender who made sure to greet us coming and going. I will definitely return.“

“the server was on point checking to see if we needed anything even though it was busy, but the service that we got today was extremely excellent and even the food was great.Outsteak house was the bomb dot com🙌💪“

“An absolute must-visit for steak lovers in NYC! The moment you walk into Palermo Argentinian Bistro, the cozy, rustic atmosphere sets the perfect mood. We started with the beef empanadas, which were fried to a flawless, shatteringly crisp golden brown. For the main event, the skirt steak was incredibly juicy, tender, and packed with authentic Argentine flavor—especially when paired with their vibrant chimichurri. Service was fast and welcoming, and the wine selection perfectly complemented the meal. Don't sleep on the flan with dulce de leche for dessert. I will absolutely be back!“

“One of the best restaurants I have been to in a long time. Everything was delish.“

“What an incredible experience! I went there last night on 57th Street for Christmas Eve. 5 star customer service thanks to The Rock & staff, delicious lamb chops, tuna tartare and Pinot Noir. I had the pecan pie and ice cream, my mom had the crab cake and we shared the creamed spinach and mashed potatoes. I highly recommend! Thank you for such an enjoyable evening! I will definitely be back.“

“Food and service were outstanding“

“The experience was fantastic! The food was so delicious!! The service was so good and the employees were so nice with us. I spent such a great time having dinner with my friends in my birthday! I highly recommend this restaurant!“

“We had an incredible time at Cote. I'd been to the Flatiron location and knew that it would be great, and it did not disappoint. We had a late reservation and the place was packed. It was great to see so many people having a good time. The experience wouldn't have been the same without our incredible server Abraham who made our evening so much fun.“

“Looking for relaxing evening at a nearby place, I stopped into Empire Steak. Service was excellent and helpful with lots of recommendations. I went with the beef short ribs and I've never seen ribs this ginormous. The meat fell of the bone and through the folk - scrumptious.“

“What a sumptuous meal and experience! Food was amazing, the server Max was so attentive, manager Peter very gracious. A night we will treasure for a long time.“

“Perfect if you want to be wined and dined“

“The food was absolutely amazing! Service was exceptional!“

“Favorite spot in the area!“

“Best food ever! Butter soft lamb and bbq ribs. Steak cooked to perfection. Heaven dessert options too. Drinks where excellently made. Over the top service. Gluten free options too“

“I enjoyed everything they brought out, very delicious, and well seasoned. Very impressed with the meal and the service. Will be coming back.“

“The service is impeccable. Our waiter, Anthony was attentive and pleasurable

The seafood tier was great in presentation and taste

The steak, I and my colleague got was lack luster. The steak was not juicy and tasted dry or old cut of meat, I requested medium rare but it was cooked more to medium. They are most known steak but has not shine in that department.

I didn’t give feedback about the steak to staff because I was at business meeting and did not want to ruin the mood.

The steak standard needs to be revisited at this location.“

“Amazing place ,the practice sanitary and social distancing. They are amazing people, courteous and caring. 100% recommend.“

“Prime ribs lived up to our expectations and hype - tender, succulent, and lucious. I especially loved the crust with a smoky, peppery flavor throughout.

The French fries however was disappointing- too skinny for a steakhouse standard; kinda feel like they are from McDonald’s

Everything else of the prime rib experience, from the bread and butter, to the creamed corn and Caesar salad, were so innovative and delicious! I love the candied anchovies in the Caesar salad - I want to recreate that at home!“

“Had the best time at Empire steak for my husband’s birthday- I really am so impressed with their porterhouse & sides offerings. The food here is just top notch. I often hit Gallaghers, and this might actually rate slightly higher for me. Excellent service. Excellent food. Will not disappoint. Get the steak frites - seasoning is on point!“

“I went to Harry's for my birthday dinner while visiting NYC in May 2025. Everything was absolutely perfect. Best beef wellington I've ever had. The service was outstanding. The drinks were delicious and the creme brulee topped everything off. I plan to dine there everytime I visit NY. I would recommend to any and everyone.“

“Glatt A La Carte in Brooklyn, NY: Food? Immaculate! Ambiance? Marvelous! Service? Impeccable! Thank you so much for feeding AND taking care of my family and I. My mom and 2 children decided to dine here this past Tuesday after searching up about 20 kosher restaurants nearby. We live over 2 hours away but knew we needed to eat good before the long drive back home. Listen… don’t walk, but RUN to this place! I ordered the Tomahawk steak and it came out perfectly. The accompanying chicken dishes (chicken wing poppers, buffalo chicken poppers and chicken and waffles) were superb! You’d think I was a celebrity with how they made sure I left happy. Thank you to the owner for stopping by our table ensuring we enjoyed the food. Thank you to our waiters! We were definitely pleased and will return when we’re in the area.“

“Wow what an experience! Dario guided me from start to finish, his expertise was essential to this experience for me. Every suggestion was amazing. I had the Kansas City dry aged and wow I don’t know if I’ll ever have a better steak. Cooked to perfection, and the flavor is exquisite. I got it with the broccolini, and it was the perfect balance with the crunchiness and greens. Don’t even get me started on the drinks, the boulevardier is also the best I’ve ever had, perfect if you also are into Negronis but prefer bourbon. This is the hallmark of a NYC high tier restaurant experience. Will come back again and again.“

“Crane Club pulls off the rare trick of feeling both serious and easy. Had my birthday dinner there and the room did half the work before the food arrived: warm wood, low light, a fire going, the kind of energy where you settle in and stop checking your phone.
Service was the headline. Attentive without hovering, generous with recommendations, and clearly read the table within ten minutes. Knew when to top off, when to disappear, and when to slide in a candle without making a production of it.
Kitchen shows restraint where a lot of New York spots overreach. Cocktail program is sharp; wine list has range and someone there can steer you without upselling.
No shortage of places to celebrate something in this city. Crane Club is one of the small handful that actually understands what a celebration is supposed to feel like. Already plotting the next reason to come back.“

“Our experience at La Noma was excellent! From the moment we walked in until the end of our dining. Everything was great. We were celebrating our 13th Anniversary and we are so happy we chose La Noma. Chelsea P. was absolutely fantastic, attentive and welcoming. We truly loved our time at La Noma, and we look forward to returning in the near future.“

“Food is amazing and ambience was great“

“Great steaks and excellent service!“

“Really great experience here. Lauren took care of us and was honestly a huge part of why the night was so enjoyable. Super personable, easy to talk to, and just made us feel really comfortable the whole time. My daughter loved her and keeps asking when we’re going back to see her again .You can tell when someone genuinely enjoys what they do, and it really made the experience stand out. Definitely looking forward to coming back.

Only small feedback would be that the substitution charges for pretty much any change were a little annoying.“

“Delicious food and great atmosphere.“

“We went to RAVAL last night it was one of the Very Best Experience we’ve. have had in a very long time The Food and the Service were Spectacular!!! The Staff was so attentive without being annoying!!!! I have some dietary restrictions and they were very accommodating It was worth the Visit and will be going back as soon as I can!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟’s A must visit!!!! Geri J“

“Our first time as we are visiting from out of town. Our server Cesar was so wonderful. Very accommodating and helpful. The food was phenomenal. Our steaks were perfectly cooked and had a charbroiled taste which we loved. We also had the Bavarian pretzels app special which was awesome!!!! Our drinks were also fantastic. This was a great choice for our 10th wedding anniversary. We’re so glad we found it. Highly recommend!!!!!!“

“First time at Benjamin Steakhouse on 41st. It was AMAZING! Upscale atmosphere yet comfortable. Service was top notch in every detail. I selected from a prix fixe menu that was delicious. Excellent taste & quality and affordable in NYC. Great wine selection. Overall , highly recommend. Everything was perfect!“

“We dined here for our last night in New York, and were so glad we did. The food was outstanding, steaks cooked as requested, sides of Steakhouse fries, sauteed broccoli and mushrooms were perfectly delicious accompaniments. Our waiter was very pleasant and happy to make suggestions or recommendations. All staff were courteous and welcoming. We would be very happy to recommend and would definitely visit again.“
