Meh, The wedge salad was very good and the bacon lardons were fabulous. There is a great sear on the steaks, but any flavor is coming from the ton of butter that they use, the mashed potatoes were flavorless and the brussel sprouts were nearly raw. We were there at 4 pm on a Sunday and were the only people there, still the service was abysmal. See the photo of the stacked dirty dishes that sat on the table for at least 15 minutes before I finally got up to look for our server who was always on his phone. He never smiled, never filled our water or wine, never checked on how we liked the food and never came over to the table to clean up or take our order, unless we went to find him.The seafood platter was good but the shrimp tasted like iodine and we had to spit it out. read more

Just ate here with my family! Food and service was excellent! Don't believe any of the bad reviews!! Amazing restaurant all around!

My husband got the steak it was okay, not bad, not great just okay. I got a lobster tail it was horrible, overcooked, dry, and they put some kind of spice on the top that overwhelmed the flavor of the dried out tail. I thought maybe we ate there on a bad night, however I met someone who had the same Lobster Tail experience. I hate putting bad reviews ups, but I really hope they read this and get rid of that spice and cook the tails better. read more

I don't consider myself the best cook, but the quality of the steaks doesn't beat the steaks I buy from ShopRite. We made a reservation for 8 pm and they were on time, although loud it's not too over crowded. Someone came right away to pop open our bottle of wine, slapped it on that table and said "Enjoy!" I had to pour my own wine which was good because I needed the rest of it to get through this meal. Their specials were sold out by the time we arrived so we ordered off the regular menu and got the seafood platter,porterhouse for one and a bone in rib eye. The seafood platter came out quickly and was fresh, so that was the highlight of dinner. Our steaks came out soon after but no one bothered to replace our side plates so we had no where to put our creamed spinach. The steaks are obviously precooked and then thrown under the broiler. I know this because my steak was precut, and char broiled on the top. The bottoms was barely seared. I had to taste the cream spinach out of the dish it was served in which was basically just a frozen creamed spinach you could buy at the grocery store. I could say say more about the poor quality of the steaks but I will let the pictures speak for themselves. We were in and out in one hour, which I guess was good but it was probably only because we looked so unhappy. The redeeming quality was the free "desert" from the server who never checked on us. It was a huge scoop of home made whipped cream with fresh berries. Honestly for the price I could've cooked at home for $30. I had to apologize to my husband profusely because I suggested this place. read more

Did not hit the mark for us. Based on the prices we expected a great dining experience. I got the filet mignon and my husband got the NY strip steak. We order the broccoli and spinach sides. They brought us complimentary salads - but dressing was bland. Both of our steaks arrived cooked beyond our order request. They were on the dry side with not much flavor. They did offer to give us replacement steaks but we declined due to our available time. We did not order dessert, but they gave us a free dessert - I guess as an offering for our overcooked steaks. They did have good service overall. read more

We just moved to Wyckoff (next town over from Allendale) from NYC and tried this place for the first time. Full disclosure: coming from the city, we can be steakhouse snobs. We have been everywhere - Luger's, Sparks, etc. this place is right up there with some of the best steaks in the city. The meat was buttery (in a good way) and with just the right "sweetness" that a good steak should have. Full of flavor. The mushrooms side was ok, wedge salad above average (the bacon bits were great), and the home fries, well done, were terrific. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. What a great find. We will be back again, and again. read more

Fabulous restaurant.. great service, nice ambiance and excellent food.. the perfect combination!! Highly recommend this restaurant.. it will become a regular spot once you try it. read more

Nice local steak place. I have no complaints. Everything was really good. The exterior entrance could be celebrated better. The front door looks like something the belongs in a basement apartment. If you like locally you should be supporting this place. And if you don't it's worth a short drive. read more

I had a 50th bday dinner at Allendale steak house last night. The food, service and ambiance was excellent. They were extremely mindful of our party and were attentive to everyone. I could not recommend more!!! read more

Allendale Steakhouse was an exceptional experience family run operation. It's all the marks. The food is is exceptional. The weight staff was very attentive. They new location had a warm and modern ambience. Recommend us highly to anybody for a special experience. read more

Outstanding new building. The service is awesome. The food from appetizers to desserts are top notch

Totally reminded me of Peter Lugar's and it was just as delicious if not better. If you are in the mood for a great steak done right, this is the place to go. Also, BYO saves a lot of money and there is a liquor store with a great wine selection a couple doors down. The bacon is a MUST for appetizer. So, so, delicious and a very generous portion. We were a party of 4 and the 2 slabs were totally satisfying. We also split the porter house for 2, an excellent decision, and the cottage fries were pretty good but they are homemade thin potato chips. Should have gone with the steak fries or mashed potatoes, but there's always next time. Only negative was the extremely noisy drunk table close to us. Made the room extremely loud and a bit irritating at times. Not really the place to be passing around endless bottles of vodka and taking shots, but that isn't the restaurant's fault. All in all a delicious experience and I will definitely be back! read more

My wife and I took my father here for his birthday. We ordered the porterhouse for three, and it was excellent. There was enough that we took some home for steak and eggs the next day, and it was still good. read more

Love their new locaiton the place is beautiful and our meal was fantastic and so was the service. Can't wait to go again.

Didn't know this place existed until a family friend told us about it and so glad it was introduced to my family! We came here for my dads birthday on a Friday evening at 8pm with a party of 6. We sat down promptly upon arrival even though the restaurant was packed. It's BYOB so we had a few bottles opened up while we looked at the menu. We split the seafood tower for 4 ppl (lobsters, crab, clams, oysters and shrimp) as well as 2 wedge salads to start. All of the seafood was incredibly fresh. The wedge salads had super thick cut bacon on them that was delicious! For mains each pair ordered the porterhouse for 2 ranging from rare medium. Our rate steak was cooked perfectly. It has so much place and came pre-cut and was then served to you. The steak sauce was fantastic...wish they sold it!! We also had a bunch of sides to split for the table...broccoli rabe, spinach, mashed potatoes and hash browns. For dessert, we were able to bring our own birthday cake, which was cut and served. Great dinner and would definitely come back. Recommend it for a special occasion or when in the mood for steak! read more

Excellent steaks and service, they are always accommodating when we have needed to push our time back or add in an extra person last minute. We have had a few family birthday dinners here and always had a fantastic evening. read more

Perfect meal superb service! Steak cooked to perfection crab meat cocktail extraordinary!

Great food! Great service!! BYOB but a liquor store a few feet away. Better than many in Manhattan

This was our first visit to Allendale Steak and we were very pleased. Solid service and delicious food.

It's an Allendale institution. Deco is slightly colonial, slightly dated but comfortable. Menu is familiar and appeals to just about everyone. We have only had the burgers and steaks so I can't speak to the whole menu but everything we have had has been consistently good. No big standouts here, just good and consistent plates. It's a great place for families and after work meet ups. read more

New York style steak house which means prime meats done perfectly and priced accordingly. BYOB

Not the cleanest place. Look around and you will see. Overpriced to say the least. The best thing we ate there was the vidalia onion salad. The steak wasn't cooked properly and lobster was chewy read more

Living in NYC, I have grown to love Peter Luger's in Brooklyn, but Eddie and the team at the Allendale Steak House have matched it here in New Jersey. This is the best steak house in New Jersey! We started off with the Seafood Tower (included lobster, fresh crab meat, oysters, and more) - All the very best, fresh seafood. For our main course, we got a couple Porterhouse's for the table and they were spectacular. I actually think the porterhouse here is better than Peter Luger's. The service was also top notch. Max and Dan were our waiters and did an outstanding job. The dessert menu was spectacular as well...I highly recommend the Pecan Pie and the Ice Cream Sundae (with a cappuccino on the side). Thank you Eddie, Max, Dan and the entire team for a memorable dinner. read more

Hubby and I came here for a date night. Cute outdoor area and with a reservation we only had to wait a few minutes. Saturday night prime time. Love that's it's a byo which is pretty standard in this area Bergen County. It was very loud. People are definitely having a good time lots of laughter and chatting. We both discussed how this is a place to go with friends for a great dinner and maybe not so much date night. In fact we were the only couple as we looked around the room. Maybe it was just an off dating night but definitely an observation. Let's talk steak. Hubby and I split the porterhouse for 2. I mean WOW. If I closed my eyes we could have easily been at the best of the best steakhouses in New York City. It was that good! Sides amazing too. We will definitely be back with friends. So happy to have found this place. read more

Not very good. Ordered the Porterhouse for 3 ($180) came out way over cooked sent it back next one came out under cooked. Steak was very tough and fatty not great quality Staff not very pleasant. read more

Went there based on a recommendation. Not at all impressed. Was underwhelmed. Steaks were overpriced. Went to another high end steakhouse a week or so ago. Food, service and ambiance were much better. Prices were noticeably lower and the place is expensive. My porterhouse was fatty and plate it was served on was full of grease. Folks that worked there were nice but service was just ok. Do not comprehend how they can charge what they do. I would not recommend. read more

one of the best steakhouses outside of nyc. service is excellent and very professional. they just moved into a new building which is very nice although i liked the old one as well. can't go wrong with any steak choice although i get the filet. sides mashed potatoes, french fries, broccoli rabe, etc all good. read more

No need to travel to NYC for a steak! Allendale is on par with all of the greats! They make you feel at home. They will make you feel at home and to top it off they are BYOB. You must try the bacon! It's absolutely amazing! They never miss a beat. Every course is amazing. The lamb chops are amazing. They always source great oysters and their porterhouse and ribeyes are amazing. Their new desert menu is great as well. My personal favorite in Bergen/Rockland area. read more

Had my 40th birthday dinner here on Saturday night with my wife and 8 of my family members. The only negative comment I can possibly leave is that the night ended. What an Awesome Restaurant!!! These are all the items I tried that evening, we ordered lots of food and shared the sides (wife and I split the steak). Bacon, Fried Calamari, Fresh Crab, Creamed Spinach, Potato Hash, French Fries, Broccoli Rabe and Porterhouse for 2 Medium Rare. We drank roughly 6-8 bottles of wine and had a bunch of desserts. Fresh Whipped Cream and Berries......Yummmmmm Great wife, great family, great food, beyond great service, equals Awesome Time. Side Note.. I'm the clown in the back giving rabbit ears. read more

Nice people, nice atmosphere, great service. The appetizers and the sides were decent and generous but everything across the board was under seasoned; they were the highlight of the meal. The stars on this review are based on only the appetizers and sides of the meal. Zero...zero stars for the highlight of the show which is supposed to be the steak. The meat is abysmal for a place that bills themselves as a steakhouse. I'm not sure where to start but I have a eaten dozens of dry aged steaks in my life and there was no way this thing ever saw any aging unless the vendor left it on the liftgate in the sun for an hour. It was on par with a supermarket choice steak at best. It was only cooked on one side, the pretty side was pretty, but the underside was gray and swimming in more water than a dry aged steak should ever be able to exude. No sign of the cooked crusty aged steak on all sides with that beautiful mineral taste that you expect from properly aged beef. If that was not bad enough, it was poorly cooked with a 8th inch gray layer around that rosy interior which is medium to medium well in anybody's book. It looked horrible and it was not seasoned at all and the chew was way too chewy for prime. The whole idea of aging is to break down the meat fibers so it's extra tender. I came home and had a workout with the dental floss. They've been around a long time and I'm sorry to piss in their punch bowl but if you are looking for a good night out with a great steak dinner for two for north of $225 (no alcohol! BYOB!!") you'd be better served to look elsewhere. A national chain such as Ruth Chris or better yet somewhere local like the River Palm will give you a much better quality steak with the same nice service and experience you'd expect at these prices. Move along... read more

Terribly disappointed. My medium steak was over cooked and gray. Two other people at our table sent the steaks back. I foolishly choked my steak down and regretted it. When a steakhouse charges $68 for a steak (sides extra) they have to do it right. I will NOT go back. read more

I came here for a post Christmas Dinner with my fiance. I just yelped the place so did not know what I was getting in to when I was served with their food. What I would like to let people know that this place is BYOB. Yes, that means that you are able to bring your own wine of your choice to match the fantastic steak that they serve here. I do believe that the steak is a little bit more expensive but not ordering the alcoholic drinks make it up for it. We were first served with the bread. Yes, it is a simple dinner bread but wow it's perfected. It was not lukewarm but almost hot to touch. It melted the butter very well. The taste? I'd just "eat this and call it a day" good. Now for the appetizers, we had classic Caesar's salad and oysters. Yes, needless to say, they were all good. I think anyone can make a good salad, but the oysters were fresh. We had our taste buds thanking us for treating them with something so good before the real main course was delivered. We had porterhouse for 2. I really din't care if the chef was from Peter Luger's. I took the steak as how it was served. Just wow, came out perfectly as how we stated (Medium Rare) and the char on the steak was perfect. The skin of the steak had a slight salty taste with dry aged inside, flavors bursted. I did like the steakhouse that was close to where I live for the longest time but I am sure Allendale Steak House was better. Everything was good but one thing that might create a problem might be the valet parking. They have too small space for the restaurant. that might turn away people who does not like valet, but trust me with the flavors, A++ read more
