Customer Review Summary

Ferris Steak House garners mixed reviews from customers. Many guests rave about the excellent quality of steaks, particularly the Demarco cut and Delmonico, which are described as cooked to perfection and melt-in-your-mouth delicious. Sides like grilled mushrooms, steak fries, and calamari also receive high praise, and cocktails are well-crafted. The restaurant's atmosphere is noted as elegant yet inviting, complemented by attentive service from staff. However, several diners express disappointment with overcooked steaks and poor service, particularly during busy times, leading to lengthy waits and unresolved issues.

Overall, while Ferris Steak House has many loyal patrons, inconsistency in food quality and service seems to be a recurring issue among some diners.

I recently visited Ferris Steakhouse in Cleveland, Ohio, and it was an incredible experience! This place is a must-visit for any steak lover in the area. I ordered the Demarco cut, and it was absolutely phenomenal. The steak was cooked to perfection - a beautiful medium-rare with a mouthwatering crust on the outside and tender, juicy meat on the inside. The quality of the beef was outstanding, and you could tell they source their meat from top-notch suppliers. The sides were equally impressive. I tried the grilled mushrooms and steak fries, both of which complemented the steak beautifully. The portions were generous, and everything was seasoned just right. What really stood out was the attention to detail in every aspect of the meal. From the perfectly crafted cocktails to the delicious crème brûlée for dessert, every part of the dining experience was top-notch. The atmosphere at Ferris is classic steakhouse - elegant but not stuffy, with a warm and inviting ambiance. The service was attentive and knowledgeable, adding to the overall enjoyment of the meal. If you're in Cleveland, Ohio, and looking for a fantastic steak dinner, Ferris Steakhouse should be at the top of your list. It's a bit of a splurge, but for a special occasion or when you're craving a truly excellent steak, it's absolutely worth it. Don't miss out on this Cleveland gem!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I can’t say enough great things about Ferris Steak House! The food is incredible and the service unparalleled. I’ve eaten here for the past three years and always have the such an enjoyable experience. The calamari is my favorite appetizer, and the lemon raspberry drop cocktail is perfect for those who enjoy the sweeter things. The steak is melt-in-your-mouth, especially the Delmonico. Special shout-out to the A+ servers, including Ilene, Betty, and Christine. The bartenders Matt and Victoria never fail to craft delicious drinks. Easy 5 stars!

First time dining here. My son ordered his filet medium and it came out nearly well done. He sent it back and next received a very rare filet. He sent it back again and it still came back too rare. We gave up and sent it back for good. Our server was great and had it removed from the bill but the manager never bothered to come over. My husband’s strip steak was overcooked too and my filet, while cooked medium as ordered, was dry. Too expensive and my son left hungry and disappointed. We were there for a celebration and it was ruined. We should’ve trusted the other reviews. Never again.

I had never visited Ferris's before, but I made a last minute reservation for my dad's birthday and they were happy to have us! Christine was our server and she was absolutely wonderful! She took all the pictures we asked for and was happy to do it! She made sure to check on us, and made us feel like we were the only ones in the restaurant. Can't thank her enough for her kindness and amazing service! The food was delicious! We got the prime rib sliders as a starter, and OH MY GOSH we ate them in half a second they were so good! My dad ordered the Chef's steak with their soup special and cheddar mashed potatoes and he was SO happy with how it came out! My sister and I ordered the lemon chicken, and it may have been a little dry but with Christine's service I didn't even notice! Thank you to the whole team at Ferris's for a fantastic dinner!

I went here for my wedding anniversary with my husband, it was the worst steak I have ever had. The steak came out completely Bloody. I wanted my filet mignon medium-well and when cut the blood pulled into my mashed potatoes ruining the meal and my appetite. The manager was there, but he only talked to the older people around us never made eye contact with us or talk to us at all. We were there for more then 2.5 hours waiting for our food for almost an hour. The waitress we had kept forgetting items and leaving for long amounts of time without returning. This honestly made our evening feel less special.

So here's the thing when this restaurant moved from it's nearer west side location to Rocky River I went the first week. It was uncharacteristically bad. But hey, first week. Returned 6 months later, still not a good experience. So, I have avoided this pace for, likec10+ years. On a whim went there last Saturdauly night. IT WAS AMAZING! The service was great. The food was perfectly delicious. My steak was prepared expertly and literally melted in my mouth. The scallops were seasoned so well and prepared splendidly, but the presemtation....OUTSTANDING. This lively place is now "on my list". I felt it was absolutely worth every cent I paid. I will be back!

Well, I chose Ferris Steakhouse & Tavern for birthday dinner & had a great time visiting with friends. Thats about the only positive thing I have to say about my experience there. We had 5 tables sat after we ORDERED and they all were on deserts before we got our dinner. Then my medium rare steak came med well. When the Manager brought the 2nd attempt out, she ordered me to cut it in front of her. I was NOT happy with the service or quality if my meal. Thank God the company was great and the setting was nice. I heard several other people complaining. You all know I normally give honest and good reviews, but too many disappointments here for my liking & the price. For these prices, it should have been way better.

Ferris steak house does not even deserve one star. After many years of my family coming on Christmas eve. They failed to record reservations that were made last Christmas eve for this year 2024 plus they called and said I had reservations for Monday the 23rd. There's that saying the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing. Very disappointed, hope they get it together. Beware, very rude work on those people skills.
