4 Best Steakhouses in Charlottesville

“Have been here about 5–6 times now and usually order the steak frites during happy hour. It’s always been great, which is why tonight was a little disappointing. The steak was cut much thicker than on our previous visits (normally it’s thinly sliced), and it was actually pretty hard to cut. My mom ordered it for the first time because mine always looked so good, and unfortunately she had the same experience. It was still flavorful, just not nearly as enjoyable as the thinner slices we’ve had before. Hopefully this was just an off night with the steak cuts because everything else here has always been really good. The lobster mac and cheese was outstanding as always, and we also got bread before dinner this time—which we don’t remember getting before—and it was delicious. That was a really nice added touch. Overall we still highly recommend this place and will definitely be back!“

“Hadn't dined at Outback in some time and had the most pleasant dinner I've had at a restaurant in a long time. Our server JR was amazing. She knew the menue without question and her energy and customer service was unmatched by any server I've ever experienced. She was even patient with my energetic toddler. THANK YOU we will be back.“

“Seated quickly and our waitress asked us if we had ever been to the Charlottesville location before. When we said that we had not, and that we had only ever been to a Texas Roadhouse just once before, she had the manager come to our table. The manager greeted us and provided us with a gift bag that included a free appetizer coupon and peanut snacks. The staff at this location could not have been any friendlier. Just a super nice group of people. Food was cooked perfectly and we enjoyed every bite. Anytime we are in Charlottesville in the future, Texas Roadhouse will be our stop for dinner. Thank you all for the good food and outstanding service on 6/24/26!“

“We had the best experience at Aberdeen Barn. The Oysters, Filet Minion and NY Strip steak was cooked to perfection! I have never had a steak that was cooked perfectly to what I ordered. The waiter Mike was outstanding. He was attentive to us and he anticipated our needs before we knew what we may have wanted. The entire staff was attentive to our needs so we had no wants. I would highly recommend this 5 Star restaurant for the wonderful staff and delicious food!“
