It's got an old school steakhouse feel, I find it very inviting. I think it's great that Jonesboro has a restaurant that fits the bill of an upscale old money option for dinning. The service is nice, the food is consistent - a solid option. read more

501 Steakhouse - 9 oz filet - Steakhouses Near Me - Jonesboro, Arkansas

This wasn't my first time eating at 501, maybe my 3rd-4th time. However I will say each experience has been different. Today I was there for a baby shower and we could only order from the limited menu...the limited menu sucks. The salmon was season really well. Didn't really care for the potatoes or the veggies. I wished they would've let us order from the regular menu. My ticket was about $60 with taxes and gratuity. Overall, nothing good no bad to say about the 501. Well...it was freezing cold so dress accordingly. read more

It's been a while... I still travel for a living, but nothing has really been all that special. 501 Steakhouse made me want to comment When I entered 501 the environment made me feel right at home. First off the service was nothing short of spectacular. Reggie never let me run out of anything. I ordered the ahi tuna today. WOW it was good. An old friend of mine introduced me to ahi. This was easily the best in every respect. I'll be back!!! read more

Took my wife to 501 for our anniversary. The food was fair (not great), but the service was terrible. Our server forgot to bring my wife's wine. We searched for our server and waited. My wife finally gave up and went to the bar herself. The server saw my wife at the bar and told her she would bring the wine. The server then delayed further to the point my wife's food was cold by the time the server finally brought the wine. Making matters worse, rather than apologize for the error the server was rude to my wife. We will not return! read more

The ambiance is nice. The appetizers were great we had shrimp cocktail and smoked brisket butts. DELICIOUS!! Steaks were tender, cooked to perfection and extremely flavorful. Burger was good too. The best staff ever, extremely attentive to our needs. My favorite part was our server KAT - she ROCKS! She made a special point to celebrate our visit as we were only in town while doing college tours. My son had a dessert and loved it! read more

Always excellent service and food. Worth every penny! You definitely need to make reservations if it is around the holidays.

I have been to 501 multiple times over the last 5 years and have never had a good steak although I keep trying. The sides were cold as we. Not any more. This last time convinced me that it is futile to try and get a properly prepared steak and sides. Our server was nice and paid just the right amount of attention. read more

We came here on a business dinner on a Wednesday night. There is plenty of parking and we were quickly seated as we had a reservation for 6. The place has an old ambiance which feels laid back. I was fine with a polo and jeans. We ordered appetizers and they were all good but the ahi tuna was out of this world. Probably the best I have had. I ordered the NY Strip and it came out perfect. I told them about my garlic allergy and they were sure to make certain that nothing I got had garlic. The service was excellent and there was live music as well that wasn't too loud but was entertaining. Would definitely come back. read more

The wife and I went here for our anniversary on a Thursday evening. We arrived around 5:30 and we were seated quickly. There weren't many people in the restaurant when we ordered, so we got our food pretty quick. The service was prompt and very polite. I ordered the smothered chicken with sweet potato and jalapeño creamed corn. My wife ordered the blackened chicken pasta. We followed our meals up with bread pudding dessert and chocolate eruption dessert. The food was good, but I'm not entirely sure I would call it fine dining that merits some of the prices we paid. The bread pudding was also different than most I have had...not sure if I would get it again. This place is worth having at least once while being in Jonesboro. The ambiance is quiet but it is dimly lit. I saw many people using phone lights to see the menu. People have complained about a dress code but honestly, just wear normal clothes and you are fine. I agree with it. read more

We were traveling and wanted a good meal but was concerned about dress attire. Jeans were fine and it was a very relaxed atmosphere with amazing food! Bang bang shrimp and Aji tuna were delicious starters and my fillet was cooked to perfection. You won't regret dining here. read more

Had a delicious meal! The house salad with filet was perfectly cooked and filling. The goat cheese smash was delicious as well. Was very busy and would recommend getting a reservation on a weekend night! read more

How do you ruin a perfectly good steak filet? You char it until the blackened parts overwhelm any flavor that the meat once had. Color me unimpressed. read more

Avery nice experience! The music was good, as was the food! And a very nice Manhattan didn't hurt!

This place is just too pricey for what it is. Stay was way overwhelmed. Sat at the bar and it was busy. I guess because I'm not a local, I got treated a little different than everyone else. Took forever to get anything and she forgot to put my order in. Got a steak and a baked potato. Food was good, but it was chain store quality. Like a Colton's or something but, you are paying Ruth Chris prices. read more

The Hawaiian ribeye was the best ribeye I've ever had. They marinade it for a few days. The cheese grits were also the best I've ever had. Night two, I had the gourmet chicken and the cream sauce was amazing. The twice baked potato was okay, I liked the baked potato better. The service Sara and Ranbo provided night one was above and beyond awesome - so attentive and nice, great conversation. Reggie was nice too. For a high end restaurant, the prices are very reasonable. If I come back to Jonesboro, AR, this is definitely my go-to place to eat. read more

Party of 2 and we left disappointed. My wife had the Ahi Tuna and the amount of pepper in the dish was unbelievable, we've had ahi many times from an array of restaurants so we know what to expect, but this was over the top. I had the tomahawk steak and the chef was once again very heavy handed on the seasonings, I am a person who likes seasoning, but the amount was ridiculous. Steak ordered medium rare and came out VERY rare. Didn't send it back due to the amount of seasoning I wouldn't eat it anyway. We were placed in a high traffic area and could hear the staff gossiping the entire time next to the kitchen window. Overall, the food and the ambiance made it an unpleasant experience and we will not be back, despite living in the area. read more

Ribeyes were awesome and cooked perfectly. The chocolate eruption cake was pure ecstasy! Yes it was pricey but very good.

I'm guessing this used to be a great place 20 years ago. Today, however, it's tired. Decor is extremely dated and dingy. Tables are tiny and chairs are uncomfortable. The food was extremely mediocre. The app I ordered was the egg rolls, which was probably the best thing I had all night. They came with a cheese dip of some kind, which was good, though odd for egg rolls. I'm pretty sure the egg rolls were store bought/frozen, but I don't know that for a fact. I ordered the 9 oz filet with garlic buttered shrimp. The filet was supposed to be medium rare and it was raw. The flavor was, well, simple. I'm pretty positive there wasn't anything more on it than a dash of salt. For $47, extremely disappointing! The shrimp in the garlic butter was good, though I'm almost positive it was frozen shrimp and the tails hadn't been removed. Needing to remove shrimp tails from shrimp that have been complement submerged in butter isn't exactly easy without getting super messy. I got fries and goat cheese potatoes. The fries were fine, just not seasoned at all. The goat cheese potatoes were extremely disappointing. They had so little flavor, which for a goat cheese dish shouldn't be an issue. Goat cheese is typically full of flavor yet they seemed to be able to take all of the goodness out. The potatoes were either baked or boiled and whole with zero seasoning in them, just a tiny bit of cheese melted on top that had cooled and dried up by the time the dish got to me. All in all, very disappointing and not worth even a quarter of the cost. If you are looking for a great filet, go to Samantha's! I ate there the night before and it was perfectly cooked and seasoned. Possibly one of the best executed filets I've ever had!! read more

The Bang Bang Shrimp is always a hit (if it's warm). But other than that, everything else is a hit or miss. Steak is a 50/50 chance every time you go if it's going to be cooked correctly or not. For the price of this restaurant, the side dishes are so disappointing and if you stay close to your 2 hour time slot, they'll ask you to leave. read more

We love this spot! All the food was great and service was prompt. Tables feel a little too close to each other, but it's not too big of a deal. People tend to mind their own business. Getting a dessert and letting them know it's your birthday is fun because the candle is a great way to end your celebratory dinner. Will definitely be a regular here. Waiter was kind and prompt. Our drinks were always filled. read more

Spent the night in Jonesboro and this was across the street from my hotel. We were pleasantly surprised at how good this place was. If you are on the area it is sort a visit. read more

What can I say! The food is excellent and the wait staff is excellent. The atmosphere is easy to enjoy with a large bar area with plenty of TVs to watch games on. The dining area is well apportioned, appointed and enjoyable. But above all the good is so good, especially the steaks! read more

Made reservations a few weeks ahead for a very special occasion. We got there earlier than the rest of our party to set up the cake, the staff was very accommodating with helping us, offering us a platter, utensils etc. It's definitely on the higher end but it was for a special occasion, and nice to experience someplace "new" My main reason to not give a 5, was it took over an hour AFTER placing our order to receive our food. Now, we did have a party of 13 so that could be it. Also the place was not packed with people by any means so I do think you should be prepared to wait a hot second for your food to arrive. The rolls were delicious but they were Definitely "Sister Schubert" rolls. The steak I ordered was good but was not the best steak I have ever eaten and came medium, medium-rare when I ordered well done. I think it just got mixed up with someone else's from our group which to me was not a big deal at all. They had live music which I was not expecting, the guy was good and on this day I didn't mind, but usually I don't care for live music while I'm at a restaurant eating and trying to enjoy conversation it's definitely not something I'm into but it wasn't crazy loud and intrusive so it was alright. They automatically take out 18% gratuity for parties of 6 and up so be aware. Bottom line: Everything was good but nothing I couldn't stop dreaming about till I had agin. Be prepared to wait. Nice atmosphere. Nice to experience a new place for a special occasion but don't know if it will be my first choice for the next special occasion. read more

Steak was excellent and juicy. The service was quite nice. I like the design of the restaurant as well.

My business partner and I came here looking for a great steak, was sadly disappointed. The service was gerat, nice ambiance, priced right for a good aged steak. We both ordered a rib eye. Steaks had great flavor, my partners was cooked just right at medium, medium rare an fork tender, ideal rib steak...mine had great flavor but medium rare was medium an as tough a rib steak as I have ever had...It was so tough I could not eat all of it... Because the waitress was so good. I was gentle in how I told her that the the steak was over cooked and a bad cut of meat which she indicated she would let them know. I can buy better steaks at Wal-Mart for 1/3 the price. I had thought she would tell the manager an they would do an adjustment on the bill...nope, so paid the bill an I will not go back...$154 steak dinner with my steak not fit to eat, I can accept a bad steak but not at that orice!! read more

As a graphic designer, the logo caught my attention. Well done. Just the way I don't like my steak. Luckily they got that right, but it was the only thing they got right. Unfortunately, the filet was too busy receiving a Dutch oven from the insurmountable amount of garlic butter that accompanied it. I had expected a dollop of garlic butter, like every other steak I've ever received. What I got was a steak asphyxiating on its own vomit. The fries were very dry, tasteless and uninspiring. The Old Fashioned had soda water in it. No. Just no. As for the live band at 7:00, it's Wednesday. I'm trying to eat, bro. The music was definitely suited for a truck stop in the middle of nowhere. Like the one Andie MacDowell sings at in the 1996, feel-good movie, Michael. I felt like I was about to encounter Patrick Swayze. If Nicholas Sparks wrote the script to Roadhouse and Jeff Healey was a woman. That's all fine and well. Then she crossed the line. She ruined The Proclaimers. Marshall Eriksen would not approve. I fully understand that I shouldn't rate the restaurant on the talent of the band. Rest assured, this soft two does not reflect the number two the band took on the stage. read more

501 Steakhouse - John Belushi spotted in 501 Steakhouse. - Steakhouses Near Me - Jonesboro, Arkansas

This is the third time we have been too the 501 Steakhouse and it was another excellent experience. My wife and I had an impromptu overnight stay in Jonesboro and wanted good steak. We were not disappointed. The restaurant was busy but we were seated immediately. Jodi was our server and she was friendly and attentive to our needs. The Bang Bang Shrimp appetizer was delicious, not too spicy. My wife had the Center cut Filet and I had the Bone In 28 ounce Ribeye ( I was planning for a to go box ), both medium rare. The steaks were served quickly and cooked perfectly with good seasoning. We had two premium sides: wilted spinach and grilled asparagus, which were $5 additional charge. The portions were kind of small for $5 each, but they were tasty and cooked well. We were there on Friday night and they had live entertainment, which was nice; good female vocalist. The atmosphere in the restaurant was relaxed and a mixture of dress and casual. I'm not sure what the more negative reviews were disappointed with. We had good food at a decent price with good entertainment. Highly recommend! read more

I walked from my hotel. Very friendly service. Wine was very good. My customer asked to keep a cup and they let him. Smoked salmon appetizer was cold but still good. Bang bang shrimp was amazing. Must wear mask when walk in. read more

I can remember when this place was pretty phenomenal however, it has gone downhill significantly. First, the decor. I can't figure out if they are supposed to be upscale or casual. The whole place just seems confused. The service. While our waiter was friendly, he was incredibly slow at everything he did. He took forever to take our order, bring our drinks, bring the rolls, and when we were finished eating, it took 30 mins to get our check! The food. The Bang Bang Shrimp was really good. I ordered the almond crusted salmon with a sweet potato and veggies. The salmon was covered in a sauce that had a weird bite to it. The veggies were inedible because they were so hard. For $22, please just make sure my veggies are cooked. My husband ordered the filet burger and there was zero wow factor. There was absolutely nothing that stood out about that burger. The fries were soggy and greasy. The price. Expensive; especially for the caliber of food they are putting out. I don't mind to pay a bit for food. But, if I'm paying that much, please make it tasty. You're a local restaurant, make the people of this town choose your place over the crazy amounts of chain restaurants. For now, it's not working for us. read more

Very average steak for prime steakhouse. Sorry guys, you're buying cheap ingredients and it shows. Thoroughly enjoyed the seafood appetizer. read more

We love 501 & happy hour with Reggie! I've only been here for Happy Hour, but the nachos and TexMex egg rolls are delicious.

I was hesitant to go here after reading some of the past reviews but we had a meeting there so I went albeit reluctantly. Boy were those past reviewers ever wrong! This place had a really good offering of seafood and steaks. We order the bang bang shrimp and spinach dip and completely devoured it all! I order the filet with garlic butter, potatoes and green beans. It was absolutely wonderful! They had a couple of guys singing while playing acoustic guitars and they were wonderful. I will most certainly go back. read more
