8. Grub Steak Restaurant

Ehh, it's alright. I don't see the big deal.
I went to the new Grub Steak in West Carrollton when it opened up. We waited forever to get in. It was just ok, but nothing spectacular. I thought it was a bit overpriced for what we got. Personally, I think that the other restaurants on this list like El Meson and Mamma Disalvo's are much better places than Grub Steak.

I absolutely love this restaurant. It has a sort of comfy home charm to it. As stated, it isn't in the best part of town, but you'll be fine. I have always loved the great quality food that is served here, and I love the ambiance. There are no windows, so you feel like you are underground. It's not cramped, but doesn't feel extremely big either. I always get a kick out of the paper placemats and basket of crackers they serve. The service is always great; friendly and a pleasure to be around. Grub Steak will always be a favorite for me, it's a cute little place in town that captured my heart and hopefully will do the same for you!

The ambiance is nothing special, this is an old downtown restaurant with some worn furniture. The food, service and value makes up for the atmosphere. Not in the best part of town but there is a guard on duty in the parking lot. The Grub Steak is famous for it's ribs on a stick. The royal rib portion is very big and totally mouth watering. Excellent onion soup, the salad is well, salad but my wife thinks the peppercorn dressing is the best she ever had. Service is always good, the drinks are moderately priced and you can actually taste some liquor. I took my restaurant snob brother and his wife (from Washington DC) there and after turning their noses at the location and appearance they could not believe the quality of the food. I paid but he saw the check and could not believe how reasonable it was. On there next two visits he suggested we go to the Grub Steak and actually paid. (Remember he saw the first check!)
