Went here w my wife for a drink and appetizer. Staff was a little slow but you are here for a time and experience not for a rush. The piano player did well giving background ambience. The drinks were decent and the app good. We did not order a meal but the ones we saw looked good. Is a spendy place but is good for date. Atmosphere is a bit dated to my want but is ok. read more

Perfect ribeye, all sides and desert. On the higher end in price but well worth the money. Service was excellent. Highly recommend. Great atmosphere!!! read more

Food was great very clean. Loved all the old pictures to look at!! Wind the waiter seemed ti vanish a lot. Thank goodness for another nice waitress she got our refills and our ranch. read more

What a fantastic experience from bar service through dinner. Jamie was our bartender and service...she was fantastic. Chef came out several times to answer questions, make recommendations, etc. He's been there for 20 years and can tell you about the interior which is all repurposed wood from many different eras. Tried the vegan steak as I'd never seen a plant-based steak option. It was quite good! If you are vegan, chef will create dishes for you outside of the steak, if interested. Sure beats a chain steakhouse any day of the week! read more

Can be very expensive if you go for their prime steaks ($100) but their bowl dishes are enough for two meals easily and are under $20. Atmosphere is very nice. Service was great! read more

Way over hyped and over priced. We have enjoyed better dinners from chain steak restaurants for a fraction of the cost. Setting is dated and not in an appealing/charming way. Service is hit or miss. read more

I brought my family here a year ago and I've been too upset to leave a comment here. it was terrible. the food wasn't cooked properl y and tasted bad. we should have left but we thiugh it would get better. it didn't. The waitress was nervous and ended up dropping plates on the table which spilled food everywhere including my lap. we left most of our food behind, the bill was almost $70. I wasn't happy. After calling the next day & many times afte, the manager said he couldn't do anything. The last time I called, he hung up on me!!!!!!! So I gave up and tell everyone my story & not to go there because the food is terrible and the manager is a jerk. I've never had this happen before. you would think he would offer to reimburse me or make it up to me somehow right. didn't happen. Don't eat there! read more

Just wow. All those one star reviews are not accurate. Food here is amazing and service is as great! read more

40 Steak & Seafood - Dry aged Cowboy Ribeye Ocscar style - Seafood Near Me - Bismarck, North Dakota

Passing through this week and wanted a decent dinner. The place is fabulous along with great service. We started with Bison meat balls, delicious. For dinner we got the lobster Mac&cheese, amazing. I got the NY steak, fabulous. My wife got the Ribeye and it was ok. For sure the Ribeye was not to the standard of the place, perhaps an off night. Overall very good. Go and enjoy. read more

Best meal I had while in Bismarck. Traditional steakhouse feel. Entrees ordered separate from sides. Priced as expected for a nice steakhouse. Actually inexpensive compared to other cities. Decor was wood panels classic style. Our group of 7 were taken care of nicely by a single server. Wine selection was good for the area and reasonably priced. read more

We started off my dinners in Bismarck on a high note and I think the other steak houses in town will be hard pressed to top the meal we had here at 40. It's 40 because they serve forty-ounce steaks. Yeah, that's over two pounds of beef and over a kilo for you non-Americans. A big piece of cow. To start, we had the pork belly appetizer and I then had an excellent wedge salad before my 18 ounce bone-in rib eye appeared. Cooked to order and served with a small amount of mushrooms (this is $4 worth?) plus a side of horseradish that was super hot. The steak was cooked to order (medium rare) and was quite flavorful. We sat at a table in the bar area and the service there was excellent. After dinner, we shifted over to a table next to the fireplace which was quite comfortable. Good wine list and a reasonable selection of beers. Dinner for three with the starters and a *lot* of wine was $77 each plus tip. Looking forward to seeing what else they have in Bismarck but not expecting them to be nearly as good as 40. I am very sure that I'll be back here. [Review 10542 overall, 309 of 2019.] read more

I got up at 4:15 this AM, drove to Seattle and flew to Bismarck via Denver. I worked on computer a bit and was hungry. I entered 40 at 9:58 PM and was warmly greeted. I was welcomed with warm bread, a menu and smiles. The 1401 burger was great! The staff was excellent! Go there, you won't be disappointed. Jerry Lael Kittitas,Wa read more

I stop in probably once per week. I love the outdoor space, the staff AND MOST of the food. Recommendations: - The hanger steak prepared medium rare if you have a taste for steak but don't want a huge 20 or 40 oz piece or meat or want to pay $40 for the filet - the 40oz porterhouse that's offered on Wednesday's is a good buy. Yes it's a lot of meat. No i don't eat all of it. I normally take the filet out and save that for the next day. And for $40, not bad if I'm getting two meals - the ahi tuna is awesome if you're not into red meat. It's flavored and prepared so awesomely! - my coworker loves the lobster Mac and cheese, I'm not a fan. So order and consume at your own risk. - happy hour is from 4-6 and 8-close Mon - Sat. NOW, if you're sitting in the restaurant part and not the bar area, no one will tell you it's happy hour and that the happy hour is applicable to the entire restaurant, So be sure to ask for the happy hour menu if you're there between those times. Overall, the food is damn delicious, everyone is really attentive and in the spring and summer when I can sit outside, it's perfection! OH - If you're full on Vegetarian or vegan, not that many options. Just an FYI. read more

Great service, great food and lovely ambiance. This is a great place for a date or a special occasion. I love their vegan steak. Even my mother who is not vegan said the steak was very good. I will definitely return. read more

Stopped by on a rec from our hotel clerk..husband had a filet with bacon and mushrooms..he was very happy and ate every last bite. I had the meatball pasta bowl (was linguine with red pepper marinara and steak meatballs) and I am sad I didn't eat it all...it was good, but too much. And then we shared a very good crème brûlée for dessert. We enjoyed local brews from Black Leg brewery and overall are happy with the rec. read more

Wow, I never would have expected to find a place like this in Bismarck ND. The old farmhouse style, dark wood building gives way to what earned the international dry aged steak competition a few years back. Sit at the bar or in the dining room, but definitely take them up on the kitchen tour to see their dry aging process. Over 100 days, 32 degrees, 50% humidity, blocks of pink Himalayan salt, all gives the meat a taste and texture that you simply cannot reproduce at home. Every night they have a special for $40, I got the 40oz. T-bone. That's right, 40 oz of 100+day dry aged steak for $40. That same meal would easily cost three times as much in a place like Chicago or New York. The best part, the meat meets expectations. Dinner was steak and a glass of wine that night, and it was the best meal I have had in a while. Foodgasm is really the best word to describe it. If you are in Bismarck, you have to try this place at least once. read more

My husband and I rarely go out to eat, but it was my birthday so I asked him if we could try something new. I was excited to try something other than a chain restaurant. I was suprized to see dead plants tipped over in their plastic pots in the entrance to the place. Just looked trashy. A simple cleaning up would give a better impression. The hostess and server were welcoming and friendly. My husband ordered a steak, and I ordered the seafood skewers. The skewers were HORRIBLE. Absolutely NO seasoning, 4 shrimp and a small lobster tail covered in what looked like paprika. I'm not convinced the lobster or shrimp were even cooked through. Served on a bed of vegetables, it looked delicious but it was SO disappointing. It was mushy, watery, had a raw texture and wasn't even seasoned with salt. I couldn't eat it. My husband enjoyed his steak. I had a bite of it and again, no seasoning. The baked potato was as big as my head, but there was no salt or pepper on the table. Of course our server checked on us to ask if everything was OK, but my husband said it was fine before I had a chance to let either of them know my food was bad, and then she was gone. I'm always reluctant to complain about anything, but for the price I should have asked for something else. I've never left a review of anything before, and in all fairness i should have sent it back and given the chef a chance to correct it. Lesson learned. read more

Was in town for work and had a vendor takes out! My first impression of the place is that it's an old school steakhouse and I love the rustic feel! Service from when we walked in to till we left was excellent overall! The menu is a nice array of options from. Seafood to steaks to pastas! All of it is ala cart! I loved the selection of whiskey and bourbon they offer and a nice wine list! We got a few starters in the bison meatballs (pretty good and good flavor 4 to an order), deviled eggs (6 in th order but not packed with much flavor unfortunately) and the 40 seafood dip (good portion and great flavors)! I got the prime rib with shrimp as the meal and the prime rib has a lot of flavor and tender! Only downside for the price is the piece isn't huge and seemed to be maybe a bit more fatty then I've had elsewhere! But flavor was good and the tenderness was excellent! The shrimp were cooked to perfection! Ashton who was our server was excellent and made good recommendations and overall a good first experience!

40 Steak & Seafood - Prime rib special - Seafood Near Me - Bismarck, North Dakota

WARNING: The servings here are HUGE. The 40 Steak and Seafood is a "surf and turf" restaurant in Bismarck. Offerings include "fresh" seafood and a variety of cuts of beef. Our meals were just average, at best. And you'd better be hungry. Really hungry. Maybe you shouldn't eat for a day or two beforehand. Because the portions are JUST HUGE. One serving at 40 Steak & Seafood is enough to feed four people! HUGE PORTIONS OF UNAPPETIZING FOOD. Hmmmm.... Doesn't sound good. read more

Went for dinner. Ribeyes are good, asparagus was very good with hollandaise sauce however the seafood mac and cheese was not that good at all. Overall I would go back. Loved our server Stacy! read more

Horrible service.. save your money and go somewhere else. The building itself is great!! Beautiful decorations and the hostess was very friendly. The server Lisa was horrible. She had attitude because we had questions.. considering this was our first time ever setting foot in the place her attitude went down hill once she couldn't sell us the $40 steaks right off the back.With the type of service not provided the prices should match and be around the $5-$10 mark not what they are. Having been to real steak houses that have $100+ steaks on the menu I have high expectations when you have a certain price point. This place misses the mark all around. The only food that was edible somewhat was the boring basic Caesar salad. The bacon (pork belly on the menu) was just two thick slices of bacon you can get at a grocery store cut into small pieces with a sauce that tasted like straight honey... To top this awesomely bad visit the server without regard to correcting anything just asked if we wanted our tab.. as if I was going to pay for the two bites that were taken?? I think not. We spoke to the kitchen manager when we asked for one. He was nice and took care of the salad and acted surprised that the service was bad. Service is important and if you value it don't come here read more

Ribeye is perfect. love that each room is a different time of the bars life. Staff was awesome and on point. They make great drinks and will be back read more

Bartenders need basic training. Ordered a gin martini - Aviation gin, stirred, bone dry, straight up. Pretty simple. I was served something cloudy, room temperature, and yellowish colored. Tasted awful. I asked what it was and was assured that it was a bone dry martini. It was undrinkable, so I ordered a gin & tonic instead. Twice the waitress came back to ask if I wanted it dry also. Huh?? Fortunately they got it right - but still charged me for the crappy drink that I sent back, as well as charging me extra for the olives. Food was OK. Unfortunately the management has no venue for private comment directly to them, so public it must be. read more

Best steaks ever!!! I highly recommend this restaurant!!! Great culture, too!!! It would be a missed-steak not to try it!!!

I took my family out for a birthday dinner, The east 40 for years had a reputation for some of the best food in town.  That has changed!  The last couple of times we have eaten there the food has been less then good.  The other night we gave it one it one last shot.  6 of us went, 4 of us has a variety of different steaks (Strip, T-Bone, Cowboy, Teres Major) with loaded baked potatoes,  one had Walleye and one had a Toyko steak bowl.   Other then the fish which my sister said was good,  the rest of us couldn't even finish our steaks.  They looked beautiful on the outside but portions of the steaks were so raw you could hear them moo when you cut into them.  The potatoes were like rubber.  I swear they made them days before then heated them in a microwave.  The Deviled eggs may have been the most disgusting thing I've eaten in YEARS! This was our last visit to the 40.  We have given them more then enough chances to get their groove back like they had years ago and it is just NOT going to happen.  By the end of the night it was a $500 bill for a meal I wouldn't serve to death row inmates. If  you are looking for a good steak, I would suggest ANY place other then the 40.  You could probably get a better steak at the Rocking 50s Cafe in the mall at this point. read more

Excellent food,kind of a wait so we sat at the bar. Bartender was excellent , chatty and very fun to talk too. My husband normally is a straight 20% tipper left him a 45% tip! Would definitely go back if we are ever in Bismarck ND read more

Winner of "International Steakhouse of the Year"...and it happens to be in the middle of nowhere...go figure ¯\_(ツ)_/¯! Perhaps it's because in North Dakota there is nothing to do but work on your craft, and it's very clear that they have worked on their's...and it's quality steak! What I love most about 40 Steak + Seafood is the value proposition! They have these specials that are pretty hard to beat.... Mon: Prime Rib and Lobster Tail (Pictured Below) $40 Tuesday: Two T-Bones for the price of ONE! (Pictured Below in take away form) $40 Wednesday: 40Oz Porterhouse for...guess? (Pictured Below) $40! YES...I've gone on almost every day of the week but let that be a testament to their 100+ day aged meat! What I'd recommend with respect to the sides are the vegetables and the Brussels sprouts with potato au gratin! The seafood was okay....and the mushrooms were okay, but if you avoid those you'll be fine lol. Anyway, let's get to the pics! OH HOW COULD I FORGET!!!! GET THE BREAD WITH THE MERLOT BUTTER! It's complementary and PHENOMENAL!!!!! Foodgram: @letschifan read more

I arrived in Bismarck around 6:00 and was hungry for steak. 40 Steak & Seafood was near my hotel. The decor and ambiance are interesting. I liked them. The service was good. I wasn't prepared for the price. Everything is à la cart so the meal was expensive. The steak was very good and perfectly grilled. The $4 baked potato was large and perfectly baked. One thing that disappointed me was the bread. I'm not sure what type bread it was, but it had a strange flavor, was stale and a barely warm. I expected it to be delicious, but it wasn't. I actually cut off the crust and only ate the center. read more

We had reservations for 7:45. Our food finally showed up at 10:15. When you are charging $65 for a steak it better be served as ordered. Steaks were small and over cooked. My son's ribeye that was ordered med rare was served a solid well done. Our server was very pleasant, but that can't cover for the total failure this place served up tonight. Horribly overpriced relative to what you get. Save your time and money and try another steakhouse while out on the town in Bismarck. read more

40 Steak & Seafood - Damn sure not med rare - Seafood Near Me - Bismarck, North Dakota

This is a hidden treasure! We came in just before closing so the place wasn't very busy, there was one family in the dining room and 2 parties in the lounge. The furniture was very old fashioned and the decorations looked from another time, matching the cabin aesthetic. The bartender waited our table, and she was awesome. She had great recommendations and made the best Old Fashion I've had! There were so many good options for food, we ended up going with a sirloin and linguini, with lobster mac & cheese. Everything was made perfect, the steak was out of this world!! I don't know why so many guest and "steak experts" give this place a bad rep on Yelp, it's worth all its 5 stars. We have traveled through 15 states and this place is our favorite steak spot! read more

Horrible! Used to be a good place but definitely gone downhill. I ordered a Bloody Mary and it tasted terrible so I asked the waiter to remove it from the ticket. He said he can't remove it but he'll pay for it out of his own pocket. I didn't sign up for a guilt trip. Apps came and they were a joke. Waiter made several crude comments throughout our time there. Never again! read more

We walked in and had to wait a half hour for a seat. Then we waited another 20 minutes just to have a waitress acknowledge us. We finally got our order in. Then we waited another hall-hour for our food. When the waitress brought out most of the food I asked about the bake potato for my girl friend. Her response was her octopuses arms fell off. All she would had to say is the that she couldn't get on the first trip. The steak was seasoned beyond belief. I guess I wanted a little steak with my seasoning. Neve would go back read more

The food was good but the service was terrible. Should have walked when nobody was at the host counter when we walked in and had to wait to be seated & after that we pretty much waited for everything. I truly thought they forgot about us after we ordered and didn't get our drinks for a long time. read more

Been here twice since I'm in a hotel across the street. Food has been good each time but my issue begins and ends with lounge area tonight. Walked in tonight and the majority of the bar and lounge area was dirty and full of plates and food from previous diners. The bartender was a grumpy older man who told me it would be awhile before I could sit at the bar in a clean area. I asked what TV had the game on and was told by grumpy it doesn't matter because he won't change them. If I'm going to drop $70 on a meal in Bismarck ND I should expect basic courtesy and professionalism. This place can kiss my ass as there are many other steak house choices. What a shame that such a good restaurant has such a jackass handling the bar area, it's an immediate turn off and I won't be back read more

I give this restaurant five stars not judged by the insanely competitive standards of those in New York, San Francisco, or Portland (in all of which cities I have lived), but in comparison of what one should sensibly expect in traveling cross country, as did my wife and I when we ate at 40 Steak. Oh, but I must add the our waiter would merit 5 stars wherever he was employed ... very prompt, highly efficient, contagiously cheerful. Back to the food and decor ... both are good. We cleaned our plates, a good sign, and we liked having a booth. So, expect a pleasant dinner here, but don't count on the opulence and flourishes of expensive coastal steakhouses. read more
