Great food Great service Great people love this place very nice Good salad bar and steaks are always cooked perfectly read more

It is hit and miss with this restaurant whether it's really good or just OK. Salad bar is good salad dressings not so much. Flavor of the food is not consistent. read more

Davison's is our go to when we want really good food, reasonably priced and a quiet comfortable place to sit and talk with friends and family and enjoy a meal together without the overwhelming loud music and noise that often other places have. The people and the atmosphere of this restaurant are spot on! read more

On our way through. Says it closes at 10pm. 9:03 the doors were locked. Horrible for service . Thank goodness we were just driving through.

The salad bar is awesome, but I was very disappointed in my ribeye steak. It was very thin like for a sandwich. So of course it was also overcooked. read more

This was our first visit. We were very pleased. The food was wonderful. The filet was cooked perfectly and it was very thick. They oven cook the potatoes not microwaved. Cocktails were made well. Their deserts are made locally and are excellent. Service was quick and everyone was very welcoming. We will be back! read more

Our experience with Davison's was exceptional. We came into town for our son's wedding and we held the rehearsal dinner here. From the first time we called until the end of the party our experience with everyone was great. We couldn't be more pleased. From Mike, the owner, to the wait staff, to the chefs, everything was top notch. They were very accommodating and went above and beyond to make sure our event was a success. The food was excellent! Everyone in our party commented on how delicious their meal was. My only regret is that Davison's is not in our hometown. But if they were we would definitely be regulars. read more

This is one of our go to restaurants in Sanford. Never had a bad meal. Nice to support a local steakhouse

My wife and I had date night dinner here last week and had a really nice time. We popped in on a Thursday night around 6 and was immediately seated. Our waitress was quick to get our drinks and provide us with menus. The shrimp cocktail was chilled and the cocktail sauce had a stronger kick than what I am used to getting when I order this appetizer. My wife ordered the spinach dip and said it was in her top ten of the ones she has sampled over the years. We did not have to wait long for our main course after finishing our appetizers. We were a little disappointed as we had heard that the cooks come over to you for you to select your steak at this did not change our positive attitude on this restaurant. The steaks were cooked to our specific levels and our sides were quite tasty. Overall we give this restaurant a 7 out of 10. It's parking lot is quite challenging when they have alot of people, the womens restroom had a line, but the overall feel was nice. We plan to visit again at a later date. read more

See all

Made our first visit tonight from Rockingham and we were very impressed. Food and service were excellent!

Food was fabulous: Steaks was cooked to order veggies was on point Service: Great waitresses friendly knowledgeable of the menu Setting was relaxing low lighting seating. Parking was plentiful. read more

We arrived late, about 45 min before closing. The staff was still super friendly and professional. We ordered steaks, ribeye and filet mignon. Both were good quality and cooked to perfection. Food arrived in a timely manner. We managed to eat and leave with enough time for them to clean before closing. Highly recommended. read more

Everything is fantastic.. from the steaks, tuna and the salad bar. Great day and night. Enjoy!

Have eaten here a dozen times and have always been extremely pleased! Great food, and great service!

After passing this restaurant several times and seeing a packed parking lot- I felt like the food must have been good! After driving an hour for a laid back date night I was very optimistic! When entering it seemed that they were trying to create something classy out of something that needed a remodel. I was still thinking that I was there for the food not the decor. Our waitress was great and offered good service throughout the meal. However, the meal left us very disappointed. The salad bar has several items that needed replacing after being out for what appeared hours. We both ordered the ribeye and I added a shrimp skewer. I am so glad I added the shrimp because the steak was tasteless trash. Neither of us ate our steaks. Which is disappointing when the bill is $86 for a party of two. I would not recommend this restaurant and I am not sure why it seems to have strong clientele. read more

The atmosphere is warm but not extravagant. The service was excellent but a little fast, if you want to ease that speed receive your appetizers before ordering your main course. The meal was very good, shrimp cocktail and spinach artichoke dip to begin and the filet was excellent. Nice to see a salad bar again and the homemade desserts were terrific. read more

Great Food and Great Service! They were extremely accomondating when our party increased over the expected total. They were quick to help and super friendly! If you are looking for a great meal with a great salad bar and an incredible ambiance. Look no further! read more

Food was mediocre at best. We decided to give them a try because they always seem so busy. I got the kabob plate. It was very bland in terms of seasoning. Staff was friendly and service was quick. Not a ton of gluten free options on the menu. read more

Food was average but thot it was a little high priced for area ...$38 Filet was admittedly nice size but ordered as medium (pink warm center) was prepared well done cooked through and pretty dry. I'm fine w paying this price but you prepare it right. Salmon was good. Salad bar was basic. Service was fine. Ambiance was ok ... would remind you a little of supper club in Midwest. Small bar area Menu for entrees was a little limited but fine Would try it again maybe for lunch as I wouldn't right it off after one experience read more

It was... fine. Let me start off by saying the service was excellent. We arrived on a very busy Friday night, were seated immediately, and have no complaints about our lovely server, or the time it took for food to arrive. And they've made some protocol changes to the salad bar in response to Covid. But. The steaks were burnt, as was the asparagus. The decore is vintage '1980s Peddler' restaurant, and in dire need of an update. read more

We ate at Davidson's tonight and the experience was fantastic! From the amazingly friendly wait staff, knowledgeable bartender, and super attentive owner- we would absolutely come back. The "old school" salad bar brought a smile to our face and the food was outstanding. You must give this place a try! read more

amazing amazing food ! my steak burger didn't need a bun-it was too good for the bun! and the pork chops here were sizzling and savory! atmosphere awesome and staff great! highly recommend read more

Excellent food!! The salmon was amazing and everyone I was with enjoyed their perfectly prepared ribeyes.

The first time I tried the yellow fin tuna with garlic butter, It was amazing. I went back for lunch one day and I thought I was at a different restaurant. Nowhere as good. The waitress asked if we wanted green beans and we said yes, we never got them and I forgot. So you never know what you're gonna get there it seems. read more

Old. School. This is a meat-and-potatoes, iceberg lettuce salad bar kind of place..,and they do it very well. Family owned, and at some point the owner will most likely come to your table and make sure everything's ok. Not a big bar scene; though they do have a small bar area. read more

The server is really really nice and we tipped her good because her service was excellent. But the food is overpriced and not all that good. Salad dressings were weird tasting and my steak was luke-warm and my asparagus tasted extremely weird. Super disappointed. read more

I don't understand why people rave about this place. The food was passable at best, but nothing to write home about. It certainly wasn't good enough to validate what they charge for it. Fountain drinks were served flat. Service was slow, and they got my order wrong. The interior looked nice, if you overlook the sticky floors. Not on my list of reccomended places to eat. read more

Great steak house outside of the big city lights! I will be going back again! Great steak.

Outstanding Evening. Server (Cassidy) was on point. Very attentive. Filet Mignon prepared to our specifications. Great Atmosphere. Will frequent this restaurant. Lou read more

Tonight was the first night in months we could go out to dinner because of Covid19. We wanted to go out and support our local restaurants. I am a bartender at a local restaurant too. I called to see if they were having dine in service and they were! Our entire dining experience was fantastic. The staff was so appreciative that we came out to support them. The food was amazing, melt in your mouth. My son wanted to order another burger because as he said "its the best burger I've had". The dessert was incredible. I'm so glad that we were able to go out, show our support, and have a wonderful experience. If you haven't been to Davison's... you definitely need to. Cheers to Davisons and their staff. And thank you for making our first night out in months completely awesome! read more

Food was good service was a little on the slow side. Waitress was very pleasant and very as working hard. I think for a large party she needed more help read more

One of the best restaurants in Sanford. Filet was good service was great. Strawberry cake was A+. Had the spinach dip and it was great. Everything hot and fresh. read more

This restaurant is definitely a hidden gem. It's definitely worth paying a visit. The customer service was excellent, we were seated immediately upon entering the building. The waitress was very friendly and knowledgeable about the items on the menu. As far as the food everything that we ordered was exceptional. The ingredients on the salad bar were the best tasting that I've had in a while. The vegetables tasted like they were picked straight out of the garden. I also ordered the prime rib sandwich which was amazing, definitely the best that I've ever ordered at a restaurant . In addition the amount of food that you get for the money is well worth it. read more

A friend treated my daughter and I to this great restaurant. The Steak was delicious and I loved the salad bar. There were so many of my favorite items on the bar. The atmosphere was great. Can't wait to dine there again. Worth the cost. Best Steaks in Sanford. read more

Can't do a rare steak. The manager got a little snippy with me, saying the steaks were too expensive, and wouldn't remake my steak after they made it medium for a second time. Only for people who like their steaks medium to well. read more

Loved the salad bar and loved the one use utensils at the salad bar. My drink was good. I had skewers and the steak was rib eye. The steak was very chewy and lacked flavor. I was disappointed read more

Great steaks, great salad bar, and great service. One of Sanford's best places to eat and certainly one of the best for a great steak. Tuesday night they serve Prime Rib, get there early if you want to guarantee that you get a cut! read more

The service was impeccable the salad bar was just about perfect and the steak was tender, juicy and cooked perfectly! A gem on a side street! Luckily waze lead me to her door! Come in and give them a try read more

This place is a candidate for Kitchen Nightmares. The "manager" was clearing plates and offering dessert before all of the food had been served. The steaks came so late, we had to get them to go. We threw them in the trash. I gave my Mom half of mine so she could have dinner. read more

Brought a large group to Davison's Steak for lunch and it was absolutely perfect! Through adversity their staff adapted quickly and provided top of the line service. Our waitresses were so kind and were personable. The food was delicious, too! The salad bar was great, especially the homemade ranch. The entrees were superb. Great portion sizes and delicious flavor. We will for sure bring our group back again. read more
