About Fred & Steve's Steakhouse

Fred & Steve's Steakhouse offers a prime rib that is described as "very good," though the menu needs to be expanded compared to pre-COVID times. The main issue noted is the watered-down drinks, even for a straight Grey Goose Martini. The service is generally great, but the steaks come alone, and the mixed drinks at $18 per shot should have a "heavier pour" for a fine dining establishment. The hostess has been reported as having an "unpleasant attitude," which can negatively impact the overall dining experience, especially for a costly meal.

Many customers have enjoyed this restaurant for its consistently good food and friendly, attentive service. It is a reliable spot that rarely disappoints. However, the space itself feels dated, with only small changes like new carpets since many years of operation. A fresh update to the décor could make the atmosphere as impressive as the food and service.

Recently, visitors praised the restaurant’s great setup and bar, noting that the hostess and waiter were perfectly nice. One reviewer mentioned that there are two different sets of menus, which led to a mix-up with drinks, but the food was still great—particularly the filet mignon with crab special. However, an employee who seemed to be a manager approached after ordering drinks and asked when the customers would leave so the next group could be seated. This was considered rude, especially since they had been there just over an hour and had not even paid yet.

Another recent experience involved ordering surf and turf with filet and baked stuffed shrimp. The stuffing was overwhelming and luke warm, and the creamed spinach was watery and not thick or creamy. Overall, the value for the money spent was not considered worth it, especially compared to past experiences when the quality was better.

Recently, guests praised the restaurant’s atmosphere, with one mentioning that the staff was attentive and friendly, making for a wonderful experience. The steaks were perfectly done, and the salmon presentation was outstanding. The birthday desert was described as "to die for." However, a different visit on a Saturday night before a show highlighted some issues; despite the bustling environment and generally friendly service, the waitstaff was inconsistent. It took almost 20 minutes for a bottle of wine to arrive, causing frustration and almost leading to leaving without it. Despite these hiccups, many still enjoy Fred & Steve's Steakhouse for its good food and atmosphere, but some recent experiences suggest that service can vary.
