I've been going to Wagstaff's for 6+ years. Sometimes alone, sometimes with business clients and sometimes with large groups. What I can say with absolute certainty is they cook their steaks, chicken, and some of the shellfish (including fish) over REAL charcoal. Their NY Strip or Ribeye is USDA "Top Choice" vs, the very pricy eateries who use USDA Prime. You will pay a lot more to Prime steaks, and the quality is (in my opinion) not worth the difference in money. In the 6 years I have been dining at Wagstaff's I have never had a bad meal nor a steak that was not tasty and tender, with the unmistakable flavor of meat roasted over real characoal. For those who want a drink, their mixed beverages are not skimpy (I like Martini's) nor watered down. You don't have to ask for water - and they allow you to smoke (no pipes nor cigars) in the small smoking section (which has electronic air cleaners). Wagstaff's is a class act without the air of pretense. If you want an above average meal at a reasonable price, and not have to dress to the teeth unless you want to, Wagstaff's is a restaurant you will want to come back and dine at, over and over again.
Pros: Killer freshly cooked shrimp cocktail, live charcoal cooking
Cons: Very Busy - reservations a must

Food? The steaks had NO FLAVOR! They were obviously cooked over charcoal & at a much higher temperature than necessary. The choices for "side items" were french fries, baked potato, or HASHBROWNS. Our bread choice was "Texas Toast." I'm sorry- was I in a steakhouse or a WaffleHouse? The baked potatoes were small and the "fixins" were minimal. The salad bar was another disappointment-no effort made towards presentation and the salad dressing was bottle qaulity, not gourmet. Class and ambiance? Customers wore shorts AND there were some in T-shirts. My fiance wore a tie and was extremely over dressed. Wine lover? The wine list was small and not impressive. Customer service? Probably the only good part. The servers were friendly and somewhat prompt. We had several servers, which was a little confusing. Overall- I do not recommend it. They should market themselves for what they are- a high-end diner.
Pros: customer service, location
Cons: bland food, no parking, too expensive
