good solid high end steakhouse, great decor and high end quality eats. Not cheap but the prices make sense.
Food is high quality, but pricy for what it is. This may be due to the fact that it's BYOB, but even sides are the highest price I've seen for a steakhouse. Food is properly cooked and the strawberry and whipped cream desert is a nice touch.
Peter Luger watch out!! Wayne Steakhouse may be tied as my Favorite Steakhouse ever! There's NO need for me to travel to NY for a great steakhouse. I finally found THE perfect steak locally. The steak are aged the same way as Luger, it's cut the same way as luger, when I close my eyes I feel like I'm eating Luger. Juicy and very flavorful! Perfect texture, perfect everything. Well, it should because the Chef of the place had been with luger for 17 plus years before starting his own business. Plus he brought 4 other staff with him from Luger. I had bacon which I thought was better than luger. The complimentary onion strings comes w the porterhouse I ordered, which complemented each other. I had the creamed spinach which was pretty good. They also gave us a complimentary homemade Schlage w strawberries at the end, awesome! Either way, Wayne Steakhouse is unique in its own way because it BYOB, there's no other steakhouses that I know of that does this. Oh yeah u can pay with credit card unlike luger which is Cash only or the Peter Luger credit card. I had a bottle of red w my medium porterhouse. Everything just ran sooo smooth and the place was very busy! The staff is on point and service is great! My goal in life is to go to this place every 3 months, that's how much I enjoyed dining here. Thanks for making my birthday a memorable one. Peter Luger you are still great but I also love Wayne!!!
I was really impressed by this place! I actually called to see what their dress code was and the girl on the phone was so chill and said its casual, you can wear a hat, blah blah.. And when we first got there the place was totally unassuming, like underneath a billiards and was nothing special from the outside, so I assumed it was a laid back kind of steakhouse, nope!..
Walking inside it was pretty obvious they were going for upscale dining, It was like a notch under a Peter Lugers or Ruth Chris.. And the prices were FANCY.. Definitely expect to drop some dough here.
For a party of 4 we got two strips of bacon as an appetizer to share, all ordered steak (3 of us ordered the filet and 1 ordered the sirloin), we also shared a holy moly dessert which was HUGE (ice cream sundae and sooo good!) we spent over $300.. Granted it was worth it, but just wasn't expected considering the conversation I had with the hostess.
The steaks were so tender and were cooked perfectly, they also came out sizzling which was a bonus. The bacon was take it or leave it, I've had better at other steakhouses but it was still bacon so still good! Overall, this was definitely a 4 star restaurant bordering on 5! I would highly recommend for a good steak & a good time..
Oh and on a weird note, we heard (but didn't see) a fight break out between a couple of cooks in the back. Definitely tussling around, yelling and people trying to break it up, it was almost closing time so we were the only people left but still really awkward but kind of funny at the same time….
The steaks were pretty good, as were the rest of the apps and sides. We had a large party of 12 – 15 for dinner at 8:30. We arrived on time, and when I walked in there was no table set up and waiting for us. After half of the staff rallied to put together a make-shift table using a piece of plywood, and then set it with a tablecloth, we were finally seated at 9:15. Poor showing. When you're spending $100+/person on dinner, the whole experience needs to be better than that. Anything I can say good about the food is forgotten because the delay threw off our night so drastically.
Lived in this area my entire life and never checked this place out until recently. I left full and happy, so Wayne Steak House gets 4 stars out of me.
Food:
Do yourself a favor and order the bone in filet……….oh my goodness, it was amazing and delicious. I think it was the best steak I've ever had.
Sides: mashed potatoes, creamed spinach, complimentary onion rings…..all good.
Apps: Oysters on the half shell were fresh and delicious. The bacon appetizer was alright, I've had better at other steakhouses but it was still good. The bacon wrapped scallops (which was a special of the night) was just alright as well. Similar to the bacon strip, I've had better but they were still decent.
Dessert: HOLY MOLY. Literally, that's what I ordered. It was an oversized hot fudge sundae with homemade whipped cream and a cherry. YUM, definitely order this. Its HUGE, so two people can easily share.
Did I mention this spot is BYOB? All the more reason to love it.
Reason I won't give 5 stars is because I found it to be pricey. For a BYOB restaurant you would think you'd save a little on the bill. This bill was just as pricey as other steakhouses that weren't BYOB. However, the pricey-ness wouldn't deter me from coming here again.
P.S. – they need more decanters for wine. When we asked for one they said all three of their decanters were being used..
We've been here couple of times but sorry to say, i think they are getting worse…
First time i was here they steaks were cook perfectly and seasoned perfectly, but the last time i went, it was so salty… i can't taste anything but salt… it was pretty bad…
I mean you can't really go wrong with the porterhouse, but i guess too much salt would…
Anyway… i understand that everyone need to order something… (they won't allow sharing as for someone not ordering anything and just share your steak..) but when we were not ordering any side… the waiter looked at us like "are you serious??"… hmm… yes i am serious when i said no we are good…
Anyway… i am sure their steak is still good… they aged well, and maybe just that one time they have too much salt…and i shouldn't let that hinder me to go again… right?
The steaks are delicious! Very cramped and noisy. (At least when I was here) The service could be better but again, I was here on a very busy night. Probably the best apple strudel I ever had for dessert. VERY pricy for a BYO.
