Customer Review Summary
Maderas Steak & Ribs offers a solid dining experience with good value for its price. Most reviewers praised the quick and friendly service, particularly highlighting one server named Kristy. The calamari and cheesecake are standout items, while the short rib's sweetness and some meat tough textures received mixed feelings. Cocktails were noted to be strong, and while the atmosphere is suited for special occasions, some found the birthday celebrations slightly overwhelming. The food, especially steaks and clam chowder, received high marks, though some found other dishes less impressive. A cozy ambiance makes it a good choice for families, but a few customers experienced service inconsistencies, particularly with drink orders. Overall, it's recommended for meat lovers, though guests should be prepared for a slightly higher price than expected.

This place is pretty good, for the price it was just right I wasn’t blown away with the food but for what it was I think it was good. The service was fantastic and all of the food came out super fast. The calamari was one of the best I had you can tell it was fresh and not frozen. The short Rib was pretty sweet which kinda threw me off. The drinks were very strong and you must try the cheesecake made in house! We also got the brownie which said it was homemade but definitely just brownie mix.

I got the super thick 34 oz rib eye, it was well cooked but the meat was a little more tough than I would have expected for the price point. Everyone was nice and helpful. Atmosphere seemed perfect for a date or special occasion. That said there were three birthdays during my meal and I got a little tired of hearing that song.

Came for the food, stayed for the cheesecake!! (Not pictured unfortunately) if you are gonna come, sit in Kristy’s section, she was amazing, I have a different definition of great service after sitting in her section. Everything we ate was amazing, there was nothing I would change.

We celebrated my younger brother's birthday here. Rhonda was patient - never rushed us. The bartender made my brother's custom drink request better than he imagined it, and my sangria was fruity and a huge pour. The clam chowder was hearty, creamy goodness. My BF and I shared a 28 ounce "rare plus" Porterhouse steak and single, huge beef rib. Baby brother ordered Argentina-style NY steak. We three raved about the flavors. The complimentary slice of cheesecake was generous in size and delicious. We will be back again & again.

Couple of issues cocktails were strong but not sweet. Customer service made up for it. Calamari was great onion rings was good. Pasta was okay. Bread was great. Fresh sourdough bread with butter. Steak was good.

First time here, cozy place with a good vibes, Steak is the Star of the day, meat lovers this is the place to enjoy a delicious steak, or burger, they do have pasta with topping of the meat of preference, prices are higher than the prices show on maps, between 27- 30 and up per person

I was at Madera's Steak & Ribs yesterday afternoon. When I walked in, I found the restaurant a bit dark and had to adjust my eyesight. First, we were served water by a gentleman without greeting us. Then came our server. She greeted us with a smile but did not introduce herself. I told her that I had a voucher and she asked if we had been there before and if we knew how the voucher worked, l said no, it's our first time. She proceeded to tell us that the voucher included one appetizer, choice of meat with two sides, one drink each and one dessert for two. We ordered a beer that's paired with a slice of orange. The beer was served without the orange slices. I asked a server that was walking by for orange slices, and she said ok. After 10 minutes, I walked to the bar area and asked for the orange slices myself. The food was good, but the highlight of the dinner was the Chocolate Explosion dessert. The restaurant was packed, and this may attribute to my negative comments. I may be back and hope to have a better review.
