We are originally from LI and have been to Cliffs Elbow Room many times when we lived here. We are here for Thanksgiving and going to the Elbow Room was something we were looking forward to. We ordered the marinated Porterhouse steak and it was so tough, you could hardly cut it. The place needs a good cleaning too. Please bring it back to what it used to be and serve good, tender and juicy steaks.

Steak was great the price wasn't. Extremely overpriced $50 for a steak. I have the marinade recipe so I do my own. crappy salad average french fries. So if you enjoy being overcharged in a place that crams you in hence its name be my guest.

Visited Cliff’s for Steak Night. We hadn’t been there for years, but have always regarded The Elbow Room as a great casual steakhouse. I ordered my steak medium rare. When it was served, I was shocked. It was literally less than a half inch thick, cooked gray all the way through and cut like shoe leather. Our waitress was wonderful. She brought it back saying she can’t understand why they cut the steak so thin. She returned with a steak that was marginally thicker and cooked to medium, which was fine. Good Restaurants shouldn’t bother with specials if what they serve is not up to their regular standards.

11/29/24 Jamesport Cliff's Elbow Room. I ordered a poterhouse steak ginger ale and my wife ordered a filet mignon and a maple old fashioned. I was served a porterhouse and my wife was given a SHELL steak. The filet mignon served did not look right so we questioned the waitress who insisted it was a filet mignon. When she returned 10 minues later to see how we were doing, we questioned her again and at that tume she checked with the kitchen and they had messed up and given my wife a SHELL steak that was not good at all...dry and tough. The porterhouse was not that good also. Next time we are looking for a great steak, we'll travel to a Scotto Brothers retaurant such as; Blackstone, Insignia or Rare 650. I suggest you do the same.

It lives up to its name "Elbow" Room! Hence 3 stars but still delicious and worth it. Part of its charm!!
Parking: On the west side and in the front. The parking is ahared with insurance agency and one other business. Parking is only somewhat difficult on a busy weekend.
Amazing place. Burger was by far one of the best I’ve had. Carol was amazing. Definitely recommended.

We went in for drinks and appetizers. It was a nice clean place. There were TVs on to watch the game. We had delicious appetizers and drinks and had a nice afternoon.

Unfortunately, just a bad experience over all. I'm 56 years old and I've only written one bad review in my life, and if I ever sent back a meal, it had to be really bad. I came in with a group of 10. The atmosphere is what it is, kind of run down, but I'm good with that if you serve a good meal. Tonight, I ordered the porterhouse, medium-rare. It looked good when served, however when I cut into the center, it was well done. (Borderline medium-well because it had the slightest bit of pink.) I said to the waitress, "I'm sorry, but this steak is over cooked." She disagreed and told me that the steak had some pink and therefore was cooked how I ordered it, medium-rare. I couldn't believe it; and the rest of my table couldn't believe it either. She made a fuss, but then took it back. A few minutes later she returned with a new steak. The new steak had to have been the result of the chef being annoyed that I sent it back. It resembled a porterhouse, and was cooked medium-rare, but this thing was absolutely disgusting. I could barely cut through the NY strip side, and the filet was as thin as a pounded veal chop! I can't believe that a chef would be that unprofessional and send out a piece of meat that was clearly not meant to be served. Perhaps it out of spite. I don't know, but here's your bad review. Additionally, my girlfriend's lobster roll tasted like low tide but she ate it, and there were a few other minor issues. So, my advice to all, there are many better choices out there for dinner. Go enjoy!
