My Favorite Steak Place
by thspencer at Citysearch
Ever since I discovered this place, I have been in love. Unlike other steak restaurants, they don't try to be everything to everybody - they are STEAK - not chicken not seafood, not saloon.....they wheel a cart of two cuts of your choice: NY Strip and Delmonico...if you order your steak too thin, it's your fault, not theirs. Sides are minimal - they concentrate on STEAK.....they offer freshly made grilled toast, not frozen brown and serve brown colored loaves....the service is excellent and friendly. the STEAK is always perfect, tender and a cut above chains. They are a family, not a chain. Some of the diners wear shorts, others wear evening dress. It's your choice. If you go there to look and judge what people are wearing, then obviously, you aren't there for food. As for the wine list, alcohol is their forte - you are there to eat steak, not fill up on wine. This place is THE PLACE
- Pros: live charcoal cooking, prime steaks, no fake saloon hype
- Cons: parking could be better, tables farther apart

An excellent steak experience.

I have eaten at Wagstaff's several times and they have never failed to impress me. The dining room is romantic and semi-formal, offering a great atmosphere for a first date, engagement proposal, or simply a family outing. They offer two cuts of steak, bring out the entire side of beef, and letting you choose the thickness. If your steak is to thin it simply is your own fault. The prices are reasonable and the side portions are generous. The customer service is excellent and it makes you feel at home.
- Pros: Excellent service and food
- Cons: parking accomodations are not great, but acceptable

Wagstaff's is restaurant you will want to come back and dine at, over and over again.

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
