5. Peddler Steak House

Nice atmosphere so so food
My parents and I used to love this restaurant 40 years ago. It was the best in town. But, despite the wonderful atmosphere, my husband and I were less than impressed by the food. My husband was given the wrong order, and had to wait (he didn't mind) for his Ribeye steak to come. But it was very fatty and he left a lot on the plate. He says he will order NY Strip next time, it's leaner. I wanted to try something different and ordered pork loin. The meat tasted bland, and could have passed for chicken. It looked plain ugly - was haphazardly cut down the length. And an au jus sauce in a little cup did nothing to improve things. Presentation of the food on the plate was totally lacking. Our group did have a lovely time, however, as we were able to sit in a side room where our group conversations would not bother any one. Different sauces, better presentation, and perhaps some forewarnings by the waiter about which cuts of meat might be leaner or fattier - would have helped. Restaurant owner or manager was excellent help with a sick patron. Our waiter very personable. We did need paper menus to look at, and were given them. Don't know if I would return. There are many other restaurants in town that offer more for the price.

Great all the way around!
We’re glad we followed a recommendation from our Ford salesman to go here for a steak dinner. The parking lot was full and we got a table for two with no wait. The service was great. The salad bar was great. The 16 ounce T-Bone was great. We had a good laugh when one of the owners asked if he can take my credit card that I had placed on the table with the bill. He was wearing a plain shirt that wasn’t tucked in and with not knowing him I asked, “Who are you?” He chuckled while the hostess picked it up and he said, “You got me.” We will definitely go there again when we pick up our new car after it arrives. BTW, I suggest you don’t give any weight to anyone’s opinion who has asked for steak sauce at this place. There’s nothing wrong with these steaks to require such a cover up. They’re nicely seasoned already.

When we want to go out to dinner, our family ALWAYS goes to the Peddler! We try to get there early so that we don't have to wait. The staff is delightful (one time, they actually had my husband's drink ready for him before he asked for it!) LOVE the salad bar - bunches & bunches of interesting and tasty items to choose from. Yummy rolls! The Filet cooked medium rare is to die for! I always get the larger size and save half of it and the HUGE potato for lunch the next day! WoW! I wish I was there right now! YUMMLY CHUMMLY!
