Customer Review Summary

Lariat Steakhouse offers adequate parking and a handicap accessible entrance. The staff is attentive and well-trained, ensuring quick service for drinks and bread. Seating in the booths is private but can be uncomfortable due to the table's pedestal. Food is served quickly and hot, with some dishes like au gratin potatoes and French onion soup being highlights. However, portion sizes and saltiness are recurrent complaints; some patrons received steaks in pieces rather than as whole cuts, and many found the food too salty. Delivery orders are well-packaged, and the experience generally positive, though with some inconsistencies noted in flavors. Atmosphere is pleasant for romantic dinners or gatherings with family and friends. Overall, while there are some positive experiences, there are notable issues with seasoning and food preparation that may impact future visits.

Adequate parking, handicap accessible entrance. The staff was very well trained and attentive. Our drinks and bread were out quickly, orders taken, all very nice. We were seated in a booth, it was very private and pleasant except that I kept sliding down in my seat and found it very difficult to pull myself back up as the pedestal for the table was right on the way. Our food was served quickly, correctly and hot. All was pretty good except I expected a whole steak instead of 3 pieces for $33.00. Some parts were cooked more than others and one piece was inedible, I tried but it would budge no matter how much I chewed it. The steak flavor was pretty good except for a little too much salt for me. The au gratin potatoes and French onion soup were the best parts of this particular meal. We ordered mushrooms, I ate one and was done. It was so salty I couldn't taste anything else, I didn't eat any more of them. My glass of house Merlot was very tasty. Cut down the salt, my steak needs to meet my expectation of being one piece. Thank you, I'll try again sometime.

We go here a few times a year, especially Bradley ticket time. Took my youngest out for dinner & used Google reserve for a table for 2, 30 min before we got there. Seated right away, ribeyes for 2, upgraded to a French onion soup and had leftovers for lunch. Love stopping by here. Great place for parties, romantic dinners or lunch/dinner with the fam.

This was a delivery order. First, I will say the food came just as ordered and was packaged nicely. Food was packaged with care and came with utensils (this is important- I’m at a hotel!) I had a fried chicken salad and a French onion soup. The salad was fine- it was mostly lettuce with only a few veggies so that was a bit of a disappointment but what I did get was good and fresh. The French onion soup had good flavor but it was too salty.

Went here for valentine’s day. Very excited to dress up and go to the fancy restaurant but was very disappointed when we got our steak. They weren’t seasoned at all, we had to put salt and pepper on them at the table. For being a steakhouse i was rather disappointed. Other than that it was pretty nice, the atmosphere was nice and the drinks we had were spot on. The ice cream drinks are phenomenal as well.

Masks wearing is not a priority. Do not order fish or seafood. Update 2024: kabobs ordered Medium; plated; outside med well, inside rare. Garlic mash not too much garlic, good for my palite, Ham and Beans soup, no salt, mini muffin cornbread. Back in 6 months, when I forget this review.

We enjoyed dinner 10/19/2024 with four friends and had an outstanding meal. Service provided by Shaina B was fantastic, she attended to all our needs with a smile. All six of us had something different and were very happy with our choices. Good to know this place hasn’t changed in many years.

I ordered the prime rib and au gratin potatoes. The prime rib was meh...tasted like I was sucking on a beef bouillon cube. I wish I had know their au gratin potatoes had the consistency of soup. I should also mention they were barely warm. Good news is I had prime rib left over because it was a nice cut. Bad news is I kept it purely to give to a friends dog. Hope he likes it, he is pretty picky.
