I forgot my box of leftovers when I left and I'm still sad about it. AMAZING classic meal of steak and potatoes - just goes to show how great something can get at a reasonable price point if you commit to one (1) thing to be really good at. read more

Amazing steak fun atmosphere definitely worth a visit! The staff are very friendly and take the time to listen to your request are prompt and efficient. The waitress that served us made sure we were satisfied with our choices and went above and beyond to make sure we had a pleasant experience! If you are on your way to Luray Caverns it is definitely worth a stop but you might want to make sure there is a seat available. read more

Food was great, service was great an Awesome atmosphere. The owner and the waitress checked on us

M My fiancé and I wanted a fun time while out for a romantic weekend. When we arrived they were very busy but we were seated almost immediately. We got the giant steak and OH MY GOSH IT WAS WORTH THE MEAT COMA WE BOTH WENT INTO. It was romantic, insanely delicious, and PERFECT read more

Excellent food and service!! Highly recommend the steak and also the spaghetti. Personal service from Neal and his crew!

3.5 stars This is a great spot in a charming diner-style location. Food was fine. That's the short version. But everything is contextual. The fact is that there are not a lot of options in this area. Compared to what's available, Dan's steakhouse has both nice food and charm. The vegetables were fresh (most other places serve veggies from the can). The location was also fun - halfway up a hill, and the decor was charming. Folks were very friendly. If you come here with your expectations in check (ie - this is not Ruth Chris), you will walk away happily humming! I also agree with the other reviewer on the meat being undercooked. Be sure to cut into your meat before eating to ensure it's where you want it. read more

Pretty good. Surf and turf was pretty good. Compared to the porterhouse and ribeye, it's small. But it's still filling. The mashed potatoes didn't have much gravy. Mac and cheese tasted like Mac and cheese. The apple sauce was small but good. Can't believe I paid 2 dollars for it. The rolls are really good. I can eat those all day. The wait wasn't too bad. About 15min wait. Sweet potato a little dry but still tasty. I think this place is known for their steaks. If ure every hiking in this area, this is a good place for some dinner read more

Very delicious food! We got there at 5:30 on a Sunday and it wasn't too busy. (Not pictures) the fried cauliflower was my favorite - it's slightly spicy and addicting. The meats were also great, smoky, cooked to perfection. read more

The food was wonderful good work Mark! The service from Sierra was by far the best, that I have had hands down!

6 oz sirloin, was nearly burnt on the grill marks, no seasonings, so no flavor, 1 tiny side item, no salad included, our app came after the dinner was served. Still charged for it, would you want to eat your app hot or your steak? We ate our steaks when they arrived and the app got cold. We were regular customers for 10 years but wont be back unless something changes. read more

We stopped by the restaurant for dinner after a day at Luray Caverns. It's a short drive and worth the trip. The service was good, the food was excellent and the steaks were 5 stars alone. I will definitely go back. read more

Service was good, if our waitress wasn't new, I would say it was average. She put in the effort but could benefit from some more experience. Overall, I'd give her a 5 for effort and courtesy. The food was below average. I ordered the ribeye, medium rare, baked potato, side salad and the fried green tomatoes appetizer. In order of best to worst, I'd say the salad was the best, followed by the potato, steak, and the fried green tomatoes were last. The steak was unseasoned and on the well side, medium rare it was not. The appetizer was probably frozen, if I had to guess. Oh, the rolls were microwaved. My wife ordered the sirloin, med rare. It was cooked to the correct temp but again, unseasoned. Her side was mashed potatoes. They were definitely instant potatoes and unseasoned. I can get down with some KFC instant potatoes, but these were still a little on the instant side, if that makes sense. Complementary ants for everyone. I killed about 10 of them on our table. I wasn't about to try the dessert based out meal so can't rate that. Lastly, be prepared to pay extra if you're using plastic. Credit card costs are passed along to the customer. Dinner for two, with 20% tip was right at $100. Won't be giving this place another chance. read more

Dinner while in vacation The 12 oz new York strip was excellent The 6 oz sirloin was food but slightly overcooked Overall we would come back read more

They try hard but miss the mark. Service was slow, ribeye was over cooked and dry, asked for medium rare it was well done. Loaded potato's were barely warm, but tasted okay. Other order was prime rib, It was cooked to the right temperature and tasted good. Overall considering the area it's not a terrible option for dinner. read more

This place is fantastic. It's a hidden gem in Luray. The owners are friendly and the staff are great. The food is fantastic my steak was prepared perfectly and had great flavor. read more

Dans score board. We arrived at 445 for a 5 pm reservation. Got seated immediately Ordered appetizers. Fried green tomatoes and their blooming onion. The fried green tomatoes were great. The blooming onion was dried out and small and burnt. Wife ordered a speciality drink from the bar that was listed for valentines weekend. It was weak and watery with little flavor. I Ordered a double Jack Daniels on the rocks. Received a shot of Jack in a shot glass filled with ice. It was actually less than a full shot The waitress said yes it didn't look right but her bar tender was busy with a party of 10??? . Oh well. I then ordered a Jack and Coke. Figured you can't screw that up. So both my wife and daughter ordered the 12oz sirloin with the smoked Mac and cheese I ordered the rack of ribs with smoked Mac and cheese. 1 steak came out medium and the other steak came out Rare. They had a grill flavor but no seasoning so flavors were not there at all No seasoning not even salt and pepper were used. Wife and daughter took most of their steaks home to repurpose them. The quality of meat was great. It was the poor way it was cooked. Maybe it's a cook problem. Anyway. The ribs where great. Top shelf and I would recommend them to anyone that wanted to grab ribs up this way. Ribs had great smoke and flavor. They fell off the bone and didn't taste processed. Very good. The smoked Mac and cheese. Well, all three of us ordered it and all three of us said the same thing. It was dry and flavorless. Cheese was hardened and flavorless and noodles were dry. So it was a bust as well. Deserts. We ordered the blackberry cobbler and the chocolate brownie both with ice cream. Deserts were great. Had a real home made taste to it. The service we had was excellent. The young lady that waited on us was polite and checked on us several times. Very nice experience with the services. So the take away in our visit to Dans. Maybe it was an off night for their chef. Maybe he was not there to make the steaks. Maybe the bar tender was also off tonight and someone else was filling in there as well. Our first experience for Dans was not what we had expected. I mean for the prices we are willing to pay there you would think it would rate above an Applebees or Chili's. Nope not tonight. Both those two chains would have been a better experience tonight. I am always willing to give the benefit of the doubt so we will return here to see if tonight was just an off night for them. I will update you all when we return here. Until then. I am rating them a 3. They did have some good as well as some bad. read more

Food was fantastic. Great place for dinner. Friendly server.

Great steak, wonderful fried green tomatoes & amazing service! Will definitely be back

Good fun, nice people. Staff was great, awesome specials for dinner. We'll be back next time we're in Shenandoah.

The service was terrible and the food was way overpriced. There were 6 in our party and the food came out 3 dishes at a time 3 of us had finished our meals before the other 3 even received theirs. Would not recommend!! read more

The waist staff seems to have preferred customers and if you're not a local it takes forever to get your order in. The food is ok I wasn't that impressed with the quality of beef and the sides were rather unseasoned. Overall I would not eat there again. read more

Dan's Steak House - Yum - Steakhouses Near Me - Luray, Virginia

Whenever I travel, I like to try the local spots. This can be a high risk/high reward strategy but it the case of Dan's, it was paid off. Like most of the other reviews say, the staff was welcoming and super pleasant from greeting to thank you. It being a Saturday night, we made a reservation but it turned out we didn't need it due to the rainy weather (Hurricane Joaquin). We looked over the menu and stole glances at what the other tables were enjoying and it was pretty much universally the Sirloin steak for two. We rolled the dice and ordered the same. It came with two salads (choice of garden or Caesar) and two sides (we got baked potatoes) which were exactly what you'd expect. The steak is huge - there's no other way to describe it. Cooked bone-in and with fat intact for extra flavor. Our steak was slightly over near the edge where it was thinner but perfectly cooked where it was slightly thicker near the bone. All of it was was seasoned and flavorful. But the thing I'll remember most about this meal was how fun it was. Getting a ridiculously large slab of beef in a welcoming environment just put a big smile on our faces the whole night. I would definitely go back. One note - I've seen reviewers complaining about the lack of a wine list or incorrectly mixed mojito. This is not that kind of place. Order a big steak and a cold beer and you will not be disappointed. read more

We were vacationing in Luray and decided to go here for dinner one night. The food was amazing but our waitress was terrible. I can't remember her name but she was blonde. She told us the specials and there were 2, she said one of them came with two sides. When we ordered the specials she said no they only come with one side. She took forever to bring refills, more sauces, the check. She seemed all over the place and looked like she was going to fall over everytime she was standing at our table. My father thinks she was on something. The manager was nice he came over and asked how our food was and finally got our check brought to us. And to top it all off, she put in a different amount than we tipped her! We made it an even $100 including the tip and when it came through the bank it was $110. She didn't even deserve the tip we gave her and then she increased it. Please follow up with your servers. She was awful. read more

Stumbled across this steakhouse as we were traveling through the area! Our steaks were some of the best we've ever had. The service was amazing and our waitress was extremely friendly from the second we stepped through the door. The owner, Dan, came by to check on us and our food. The food and experience was amazing. We will definitely be coming back! read more

This was by far the best Steakhouse we have been to. The service was great and the food was even better. We had the sirloin steak dinner for 2. It came with over 2 pounds of juicy sirloin steak and 4 sides for around $35. When it came out, we were so surprised. The steak itself could of easily fed 4 people. It was cooked exactly how we ordered it. We will definitely be back when we are in town again. We came in with empty stomachs and left with satisfied bellies. By far the best 2 pounds of steak ever! read more

This place was an unexpected surprise. The staff was friendly and attentive and the steaks were some of the best I've had in a long time, compared to any of our local or chain restaurants. Would definitely go here again. read more

I went here with a family group last Saturday. This was my second time here. This time I ordered the salmon with green beans and mashed potatoes. The salmon tasted pretty good and had quite a runny butter sauce, the mashed potatoes were kind of bland. The homemade dinner rolls I was excited about, but they weren't quite what I was hoping for. My parents ordered the steak dinner for two and they seemed to like it pretty well. Over all I was not that impressed with the dinner. The food is quite pricey ($18.99+tax/tip for mine) and not something I would go back for on my own. Our server was friendly, but don't think I received even a thank you from the young lady at the counter where you pay. read more

I never write reviews. However I felt after reading the bad reviews here, I had to say something. We had a great meal. There were 8 of us and all were pleased. One steak came out a little more rare than requested, but wasn't a deal breaker. The prices are fantastic. I live in Northern VA and am so tired of overpriced mediocre food. On our trip to Luray this was such a welcome change. I know people complained about the spaghetti in their reviews, or the seafood. But this is in the mountains and says out front, "Best steaks in the Shendoah". To each their own by why order seafood, which I love and is my favorite of all foods, but way up in the mountains no where near an ocean. My family of four split the Sirloin for Two with the four included sides for 35.99. It was fantastic, great beef, cooked perfect medium rare. Over 2lbs. So amazing and tender. The pan juices were excellent. read more

Stopped here after a trip to the caverns. From arrival to leaving, very welcoming, friendly service. We opted for the sirloin dinner for two... And I'm not sure what two people they have in mind. Let me say you get your monies worth. Keep in mind this is a simple roadside diner, not a 4 or 5 star steakhouse. But it is clean, satisfying and hearty. Our salads were decent, the bread was warm, with generous butter, and the HUGE slab of steak brought for us to split (not what we expected) was indeed cooked to order. Probably will have leftovers. :) I would say this is a friendly generous place where you are far enough from the urban areas to start experiencing southern hospitality, portions and real sweet tea again. We enjoyed ourselves. read more

Dan's Steak House - Sirloin dinner for two. Oh my! You'll have (or should have) leftovers... Generous place for sure. - Steakhouses Near Me - Luray, Virginia

Probably used to be good, but it isn't anymore. Even the water tasted bad, had to dilute with lemonade to choke it down. The appetizers tasted liked frozen microwaved snacks, but we're still cold. Steaks were overpriced for the quality. Only redeeming quality was service, very attentive and friendly read more

Such a cute home style restaurant with a friendly staff and a great atmosphere. Tasty food would definitely come back!

Decided to give this place a 2nd chance for my parents 45th anniversary. We called and had a reservation for 6:45. My parents got to the restaurant before us so the wait for the reservation was not a big deal. When we got to the restaurant, my parents were seated and had their drinks. We had to wait about 20 minutes on ours but we were forgiving because they were busy. The waitress took our order and we ended up waiting about 40 min or more for our food. But only half of our food came. My parents did not get theirs. The waitress said theirs would be coming out shortly. Okay, not that big of a deal. We politely waited to eat our food but after about 20 more minutes their food still had not come. We had no choice but to start eating before ours got cold and my parents insisted we eat. We saw our waitress and asked her to check on my parents food. She said okay and went to the back. Finally after a while later my parents food came. We had already finished our meal. I asked the waitress politely " sweetie, can you see if they can get a discount, they have been waiting a long time and we have already finished our meals" . She apologized and went to the back. This was the last time we saw her. About 10 minutes later a lady came to our table asking how our food was. She never said hi I'm ...... and I'm a manager here but we just assumed she was. We told her it was good and explained the situation to her. She then told us that one of the cooks just quit and a few other excuses and then left. My parents finished their meals and shortly after the same lady brought us our checks. To our surprise there was not even a tiny discount. I politely said "mam, we ask the waitress if my parents could get a discount for waiting so long. We finished our meals before they even got theirs." Here is her response. " Lady: Was your food hot?; Me: Yes; Lady: Was your food good?; Me: Yes; Lady: Then I see no reason for a discount. It's not the waitresses fault.; Me: I know it's not the waitresses fault but when management refuses to address the issues after a customer shares them, what are the customers to do? Lady: Well that's on the customer. We treat our waitress's good." She leaves. We decide to pay with the QR Barcode on our check because we had not seen our waitress since the food came and wasn't sure when she would be back. My husband see's the lady again and makes sure to tell her that we paid using the QR code. As we get up to leave, I ask the lady her name and if she is a manager. She said her name was Kathy and that yes she is one of the managers. I tell her okay we will be leaving a review. We leave to go out and I forget my umbrella and go back in to grab it. As I'm going back in " Kathy" is coming out the door. I think nothing of it. When I come out she is standing outside. I still think nothing of it and we told my parents goodby and we each got in our cars and left. About 10 minutes later my mom calls me and says she saw " Kathy" take pictures of our cars. My mom was upset and goes back in to ask why pictures are being taken. Kathy would not respond to my mom. Finally she see's another manager and ask him and he says it's because we didn't pay. My mom tells him that we paid using the QR code. She was very shaken up about the pictures, Kathy's rude mannerisms and being accused of not paying. She goes out to the car and this is when she calls us and tells us the bill didn't go through. Immediately we check our emails and it definitely says paid. We send the screenshot to my mom and she goes back in and shows the other manager. He tells her that Kathy said we were rude and made the waitress cry and even our little girl and that the screenshot was just on our end and it had to go through their end. 1st of all Kathy is a lier. We barely had contact with our waitress and when we did we were very polite, 2nd my little girl was never upset. She had no idea what was going on with our food, and 3rd how is it our problem that you have a QR code on the receipt but have slow or no internet service to see if the bills are paid? While my mom is inside my husband tries calling the restaurant to make sure they know it's paid. He tries twice with no answer. The third time Kathy answers and my husband explains to her again that we paid using the QR code and ask if we need to turn around and show her our confirmations. Kathy says "no we didn't need to come back" so my husband tries to explain to her that we are upset about how we were treated and didn't like being photographed without permission and accused of not paying. She says well " if you had a business with a large bill you would understand. She then says she doesn't have time to talk and hangs up. My husband tries to call back to make sure we are good with the bill and possibly speak to another person but no one answers. Mom is still in the restaurant and Kathy comes out and tells her that we are harassing her because we have called 4 times. We wont be back! read more
