29 Best Steakhouses in Cincinnati

“We had dinner at the downtown location this evening to celebrate my son’s graduation from the military, and leaving to report to his first assignment. From the time we were seated, to the time we left, several staff members came over to shake his hand and thank him for his service, even the General Manager. We always receive exceptional care from any Jeff Ruby’s establishment, but are so grateful to our amazing server Peter along with all of the other staff who took the time to make our family feel so special. We will support this business until the end of time! Thank you for being such a wonderful place to visit!“

“Kelly our server was phenomenal and created an experience to remember. The chefs made the herb crusted steak to perfection and left me craving more!! We will certainly be back.“

“I always enjoy meals and service at Seasons 52. Our party included two people who had never been, and they enjoyed themselves. Love the open doors in one of the rooms. My only complaint this time was my halibut being overdone. Everything else (shared flatbread, two sea bass entrees, one chicken caesar salad, two desserts) was delicious.“

“Went here for a date night and left so full and happy!! Our server, Jenny, took such good care of us. It was nice to have the menu and specials explained to us in details and got a lot of recommendations from her, too. We ordered the crab cakes, mussels, lamb rack, their steak and crab special for the night. Everything was cooked to perfection with right seasonings and temp. We really enjoyed the special-the filet mignon was soooo tender and the crab was sweet! It was cool to have a candle lit butter and Cajun spiced lemon on the side for the crab. We were so stuffed at the end but couldn’t help but get dessert to go. The crème brûlée NY cheesecake is SUCH a treat and I’m so glad we got it. Service was 10/10, would recommend everyone to go here for nicer dinners.“

“Amazing food, beverage, service & atmosphere!!!“

“good food nice area“

“This place is amazing. The food is fantastic we went here for our anniversary and had a great time. It was my first time trying bone marrow and it was really yummy. We ordered the cowboy ribeye as the main course to split and it was cooked to perfection. The fingerling potatoes were also excellent, and the smoked Gouda Mac was a little bit strong for me personally but also very good. My favorite thing had to be the smore dessert which is made to look like a little campfire. I would literally go back just for that. They also offered mocktails for those who don't drink which is awesome. Definitely check out their lavender lemonade. This atmosphere is cozy and very welcoming and all the staff were super pleasant and knowledgeable. We will definitely be returning. Excellent experience.“

“This place is the best restaurant on the west side. Hayley our server was great. NY Strip & the filet were outstanding. Side dishes were very tasty and the strawberry cheesecake was delicious. You can't go wrong here. Try this place soon!“

“Perfect for Anniversary couldn’t have been a better evening“

“AMAZING experience at Yard House this evening!! I’ve made a few visits here before but this time the service was particularly outstanding. We sat down and were immediately greeted by our server, Tresha. She was so attentive and easy to talk to. We even spoke with one of the bar backs, Laney. She was super friendly and would honestly make a great server!!!! Will be back!!!“

“I got take out here twice in January - both for a group of 6+ folks. Also went in with my wife today and had a meal at the bar. They are really great all the way around. Take out was fast, friendly, fresh, correct and everything included.

The bar service today for our lunch - again - fast, fresh, delicious, friendly and couldn't asked for better. The petite dream haired bartender, we didn't get her name, she didn't miss a beat with anything. She was great as well (Wednesday January 28th at about noon). Efficient friendly and pleasant!

Also the gold margaritas with the extra shots were a terrific and a good value at $10. Been to Mexico a dozen times, and these hold their own!

Big portions, fresh baked bread and butter along with everything else. I don't prefer chain restaurants but they've got it figured out here.

Highly recommended.“

“A cozy place with delicious food and excellent service.“

“My wife and I had this for the first time for our sixth anniversary. Our server Cristina was phenomenal and accommodating during our first visit. The food and atmosphere were out of this world. We will be back.“

“I had the pleasure of having Rekya as my waitress Saturday and she was one of the best waitress I have had in a long time. Very helpful with the menu, patient and was on top of refilling our drinks and more. She’s a very sweet and fantastic waitress. I’ll be back soon ?“

“Kierstin does an excellent job co-running the bar and waiting on tables. She is timely in refreshing drinks, bread and whatever you need. Friendly and good service. My wife & I ask for her tables when we visit. You’re guaranteed a good visit.“

“We always love going to TRH for a family or friend’s night out. Servers are always super nice and friendly. Place is always packed but they always get us in fast as long as we add ourselves to the online wait list. 0-20 mins. Thanks guys!“

“Longhorn is one of the best steakhouse for your money.
All of the selections are vary good.
The service is excellent.
The atmosphere is warm.
The overall experience will be well worth your stop out.
Drinks and cocktails are available to relax and socialize if you want to engage in some drinking. It's a great time to bring all your family to eat and hang out. Or bring all your friends have some drinks, good times and have some awesome food.“

“This LongHorn location is like all the rest that I've visited, great food and great service. I had the ribs and they were great. The sauce was a little sweeter than I like so I'll probably get it on the side next but I'm not complaining, everything was great. I will go back.“

“I have a severe gluten allergy and am very cautious with dining out. We treated ourselves to Longhorn today for my husband's birthday. And what a treat! This is one of the best gluten free meals I have had dining out. My husband also enjoyed his birthday pork chops. Portions were very good and everything was cooked to order. The Saturday evening chef at Longhorn can cook for me anytime!“

“Every time I have been to our Western Hills Outback, the staff and food could not have been better. I don't know where they find these people, but they are the absolute best. I always walk out thinking I should come here more often!“

“Got right in, got seated (8:15p Friday) was greeted immediately, drink orders taken and brought out promptly. New kid was training with another service. Took our food order and everything came out fast. Ordered the medium 6oz sirloin, came out closer to medium rare but no issues, tough cut of meat that was still hard to chew buy hey, it's 25$ so its what ya get. Not bad experience.“

“Stopped in for lunch today! From the moment I walked in the young guy host with hair pulled back made me feel welcomed and was so friendly, also a hard worker (didn’t get his name) also my waitress Jessica was great as well! Food was on point, steak cooked perfectly! Recommended“

“We ate at Prime tonight and it was over the top. The filet was the best steak I’ve ever tasted. The Half Baked Cookie à la mode was delicious and worth every calorie. The service was impeccable. Even the ladies room had layers of unexpected extra offerings that let you know the leadership of Prime is dedicated to making sure customers are very well cared for. We will definitely be back.“

“At first glance after reading the complaint below (Donald George Heuning III’s remarks), I was a little disappointed as it’s been a several weeks since I’ve visited but have enjoyed many meals over the years at the Cove. There’s just something special about a steakhouse that’s been around long enough to become part of your life’s timeline. For me, this place has been exactly that. I’ve been eating here for years — birthdays, casual dinners, celebrations, and random nights when only a perfectly cooked steak will do. Walking in still feels familiar in the best way: the warm lighting, the smell of steaks hitting the grill, and the sense that a lot of good memories have happened in those dining rooms. Over the years, the steaks have consistently been the star of the show. When they’re on point — which is most of the time — they’re phenomenal. Great char, cooked just right, and the kind of flavor that reminds you why classic steakhouses never go out of style. The sides and appetizers have also had some standouts, and it’s the kind of place where you can settle in, take your time, and enjoy a proper meal. Like any place that’s been around a long time, it hasn’t always been perfect. Every now and then the service has felt a little rushed or distracted, especially on busier nights. I’ve also had the occasional visit where a steak wasn’t quite cooked the way I ordered it, or a side dish felt like it had been sitting a little too long before making its way to the table. Nothing catastrophic — just those small “off” moments that happen at almost any restaurant from time to time. The reason I keep coming back is because those occasional hiccups have always been the exception, not the rule. More often than not, the experience reminds me why this place has lasted so long and why people keep returning year after year. Mr. Heuning, the fact that you loved your own remark and took the time to love all other negative reviews with no reasonable knowledge of their validity, says more about you than the experience you took the time to report on. And with a quick glance at your profile, color me surprised to find your relationship to the other complainant (Ms. Kimmie Anne) that attempted to stand apart and individual from your own remarks, must have been dining with you as well.“

“First the service. Everyone is super nice. You expect that but it’s genuine. Latasha was our waitress. Amazing. She provided some great recommendations and made the meal pleasant. The meatballs appetizer was fantastic. Steaks were cooked perfect. My bone in strip was on point. The Truffle Corn was the sleeper side of the dinner. Both my wife and I’s favorite. Fingerling Duck Fat Potatoes were good and Maple Sweet Potatoes was almost a desert. I will be back for a dinner here again for sure!!!!“

“Great place to eat. Good food nice people“

“Everything, from being seated, beautiful dining room, table setting, knowledgeable waiter and backup servers. Manager introduced himself and asked if all was well. I ordered the 12oz NY Strip, medium rare, with the biggest baked potato I’ve ever had. Everything was timely and enjoyed the experience with fellow employees. We were in town for a conference and will definitely remember the wonderful meal we all enjoyed. John McCabe Fairport NY 14450“

“Sammi M. great service great personality“

“We had a great dinner along with Great Service at Ruth Chris on the Banks. Our steaks were cooked to perfection, and the classic cheesecake was sublime. Ruth Chris has a great atmosphere with great views as we dined upstairs. From the hostess to all the wait staff everyone was truly gracious and welcoming.“
