9 Best Steakhouses near Allentown

“My grandpa’s favorite! He started visiting for hot dogs shortly after he returned stateside from Europe and Army service during WWII. Even after losing his eyesight in the early 1980’s, he’d take the bus using his mobility cane, walk down those stairs and grab a hot dog. I have great memories of visiting with him. Now I opened my own hot dog cart in the Central PA area in his memory….and made it a 1940’s themed business. I miss ya Bud…but glad I can visit Willy Joes for some memories and dogs. ❤️“

“We had an EXCELLENT server. Alyssa was definitely one of the best waitresses we have ever had. She had a super bubbly personalty and was helpful in helping us place our order. And was great in making our dinner a great experience.“

“The best steakhouse I have ever been to everything was delicious and amazing great atmosphere friendly“

“This location gets worse each time we go. The silverware had chunks of crusted on food. The steak was charred when asked for medium well, and the overall service was very sub par. Will probably travel the extra 15 mins to the Bethlehem Township location from now on.“

“I had a fantastic experience at Orchid Steakhouse in Bethlehem, PA. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt high end. The star of the evening, however, was our server Tony—friendly, attentive, and never made us feel rushed. He struck the perfect balance of professionalism and approachability, making our dinner feel relaxed and enjoyable. As for the food: absolutely delicious. Every dish was flavorful and clearly made with care. The steaks were perfectly cooked, tender, and seasoned just right. The sides and appetizers were equally impressive—fresh, well-portioned, and beautifully presented.“

“Ribeye steaks were excellent, cheesey stuffed mushrooms were superb as were all our sides and salads! Alexa was a wonderful server, friendly and efficient, and Manager Stevie made us feel like honored guests! We love Longhorn!“

“Last movie we saw in a theater was Oppenheimer, our answer to Will D's question...and his attitude really framed his very real high quality of our service. Will made the event fun, did not push us, and served us well. Food was essentially perfect and the cheese cake desert surprisingly generous. Prime rib a perfect rare. The lettuce wedge was the actual highlight generous but not overwhelming generous.“

“For context, I know how to make a tenderloin fillet steak that is easily worth $100 per plate. The problem is, when I eat out, I am unable to find a restaurant that can match that level of quality.

We both ordered the tenderloin fillet's, ordered medium-rare, and I was not looking forward to when the steaks arrive and I feel the top and can tell immediately it is over cooked. Because the price they command for that steak, it would be unacceptable to not deliver it to the table a perfect medium-rare.

Thankfully, that *did not* happen. Both were perfect medium-rare, with an impressive crust.

It comes wiht a Bernasie sauce, but they have specialty sauces that have an up-charge, and one was a mediera demi-glace sauce. Very similar to how I serve these steaks, and it was absolutely perfect.

You don't get a side with the meal, its an up-charge. If money is an object, this isn't a good pick. But both our sides were well worth the up-charge.

We did not have reservations, so we got seated in the bar. Not really a problem, but I saw a lot opf empty tables in the main dining rooms.

Service was very good, as we were well attended to throughout.

There was literally nothing I can nit-pick about thsi visit.

That said, this is one visit. Obviously I cannot speak for consistency.

I also want to addres the reviewer that left a one star review because they ordered a well-done beef fillet, and complained it was a hockey puck. That is exactly why you don't order fillets if you must have it well done.

Cooked anywhere beyond medium-rare, the texture and flavor and presentation are all negatively impacted when cooking beyond medium rare. I have been perfecting this craft for over 40 years.

If you cannot eat beef fillet medium-rare, then please don't order it. Prime rib or strip steak is for you.“
