At there today for dinner white visiting the casino. We (myself, husband and adult daughter) were looking at their menu (this was before they opened) ,and the General Manager , "Anthony", was telling me about a 4th of July meal deal that they having running. I proceeded to tell Anthony that I'd come back when they opened in an hour or so. I'm so glad that I did. The decor was really pretty, the booth has high back seating , of which was spacious and comfy. "Gigi" was our server and she was amazing, professional and courteous! Now let's get into this food ! I ordered the 169z ribeye (medium) , and it was delicious. I can definitely appreciate when a restaurant gets my-medium steak cooked medium. The steak was juicy & flavorful ! My husband ordered the bison ribeye and it was soooo delicious ! I didn't know what to expect because I haven't had bison before but it far exceeded my expectations ! read more

The prices for the food quality don't match, honestly the service is great but the meat isn't great quality and they only broil which apparently means they can't get a good sear and keep temp... I went here 3 times and the third was the worst and last. I was served water that tasted metallic and it really soured my stomach. I was belching/ and had to run to the bathroom to vomit volcano fire from whatever was in the water. It was not water, it was either standing in some chemical or musty because I am allergic to mold but I don't know how mold would get into a fresh pitcher of water. I told them and they smelled it and said it did smell strange and they gave me a bottle of regular water, which was a little bizarre because they initially asked if I wanted sparkling and I said yes because my stomach was already burning and feeling belchy after the few sips of the nasty water..and sparking can help me with the unpleasant feeling... But whatever. The water was sitting on a cart in a metal canister and they poured it over ice, no idea what went to straight metallic nasty flavor and sickening me but water definitely wouldn't cause that! I ordered the same meal 3 times I went . The first time the meat was ok, I sent back for a better sear. Somehow they properly seared it and it was actually decent. Second time meat tasted sour. Like vinegar soaked sour. I have no idea what it was I kept wondering what they marinated it in because it's not supposed to be marinated and they said nothing... so somehow it tasted like a balsamic vinegar mostly on the bottom area but apparently nothing was on it ..I sent it back and just ate bone marrow. Third time it was edible but not really flavorful and definitely more like a choice steak I'd get from Martin's...I had bone marrow and they're good but last time it was unsalted and it was really brown and no white which was strange, tasted ok though visually odd. It's not worth the price they are charging. I only used my points. Also I was se The end point was the cheesecake I was excited about but it was pretty terrible. The crust has copius spice of ginger and who knows what but it's nasty and mushy I thought nutmeg at first and I'm allergic luckily I didn't have any severe reactions. The cheese part is weirdly fluffy and just not really creamy very strange texture for cheesecake, definitely not nasty like local store sugary cheesecake but also nothing like real bakery cheesecake or ones I've homemade. I wondered if it was fresh or not the bottom was rather soggy. I think it's full of flour or starch and mostly a heavy cream or something, there was very little cheese flavor and nothing else really no vanilla or amaretto or any of the usual flavors. read more

Shrimp were very underwhelming at $20 for 6... Not sure why they were served on seaweed salad... Tuna was very dark but overall decent also served on seaweed salad. Wedge salad was the worst wedge salad I have ever had- Raw bacon- green apples and some sort of crumbled cheese...maybe a 1/4 of a wedge- 5-6 slivers of cucumber 14 oz Prime New York strip presented more like a ribeye very fatty- ordered MR came out raw- The bordelaise sauce $4 was fair at best thickened with corn starch- dull in color- cold soy soaked roasted garlic was useless Steak fries were baked potatoes cut in quarters and deep fried Brioche Demi loaf topped with sea salt was the Stand out of the entire meal. Overall bad excuse for an overpriced "upscale" steakhouse Never again read more

We came for a nice dinner and the food was lackluster. I got the filet medium and it was extra crispy on the outside of a little tough. The cream of spinach was spinach and half-and-half with no flavor, and we got the wild mushrooms which were dry and also had no flavor. The flounder was edible. Even the bread that came out at the beginning with dry and room temperature. The waitress was quite annoying and crying to crack jokes. It was an unpleasant experience. read more

I met up with a friend to gamble so we ate here beforehand. The first thing that kind of turned me off was the hostess telling my friend she couldn't find his reservation in her schedule and initially it looked as if she wouldn't admit us. After that was settled we were taken to our seats and the place was pretty much empty! Why sweat us about the reservation when they could've sat us anywhere? Not to mention that my friend is a frequent patron of their casino so it would seem that we'd probably get a warmer greeting especially given how empty the restaurant was. Regarding the meal, I probably need to try some of their other meals because what I got was just average. The waitress brought us bread and butter to start. The bread had an odd consistency, as it didn't hold together well. It may have been the type of bread, so no biggie. For an appetizer I got the French Onion Soup, which was decent, although I have had better and cheaper French Onion Soup before. For dinner, I got the Pan Seared Scallops (at $46 for four!) and they were in spanish chorizo, corn, lime wedge, cream, cilantro, and serrano chili. I was not a huge fan. I've had much larger and tastier scallops (and cheaper, too) that weren't in such an odd-tasting presentation. The restaurant itself was pretty cool with the clothing of Hollywood Stars from some of their movies in glass cases around the restaurant. The wait staff was very good. I think overall the restaurant has a lot of potential but, in my mind, is way overpriced for what you get. $10 per scallop is pretty ridiculous no matter where you are. read more

I don't tend to like steak places and I try to figure that into reviews. This is not a good steak place. I had the ribeye which was choice at a prime price. I ordered medium rare, and it was cooked correctly, but the quality of the meat didn't make it a great experience. It was chewy and lacked flavor. The mashed potatoes were the classic Joel Robuchon butter and potato recipe. You had to pay extra for that, as you would for any side. I did not eat anything I would order again at any price. At the price paid, it was very disappointing. Service was good. read more

Terrible service. The place was far from full. It took about 15-20 minutes for our drinks to arrive. The drinks were weak and expensive. Everything took FOREVER to come out. The food was unremarkable. The server was pleasant when she did grace us with her presence. The dinner took TWO HOURS!!! We paid and waited another 25 minutes to sign the bill. I got so frustrated i had to walk out. I paid my portion of course. Give this place a miss. read more

Came here for date night. Great service, reservations highly recommended. We shared the tomahawk steak and 2 sides. Also enjoyed their chocolate cake and angel envy whiskey. delish!! The only thing that I would change is their speed. We were barely finishing up our appetizers and then the main course was being brought out. read more

This was a very nice experience, wait staff on point, Aviance on point, food as expected. Would return again for special occasion.

My boyfriend and I were looking forward to a nice date night dinner and we don't mind paying for a quality meal but sadly the food here just doesn't live up to the prices. The dining room looks....tired. Another reviewer was spot on when they compared it to a hotel lobby. Service was absolutely fantastic. Our waitress was professional and friendly, she took time to explain items on the menu, and we never had to wait for a drink refill. Sadly the food just isn't good. He ordered the 16oz ribeye, medium. The steak came out rare with no sear and no seasoning. He ate it, but a big portion of the steak was fat and gristle that needed trimmed off. We were aware no sides are included but for that price give us a garnish or something, the plate just looked pathetic and bland. Not at all what you'd expect from a steakhouse. $12 for a side of whipped potatoes that tasted like instant potatoes from a packet. I ordered the wedge salad and French onion soup. Salad was good, I couldn't eat the soup. First time in my life I've ever turned away French onion soup. It just tasted like a bowl of thick hot weird gravy. I'm no foodie but I LOVE French onion soup and I don't know what the heck this was. I've had better at Applebees. I wasn't going to say anything but our server noticed I hadn't eaten the soup and she took it off the check which was very appreciated. 10/10 for service, 1/10 for food. Maybe the chef was having a bad night but I can't say we'll be back anytime soon. I came home starving and heated up one of those instant ramen noodle packets which tasted like paradise compared to the food at Final Cut. read more

Overall a nice dining experience. I was hoping for a little bit more though as a higher end steakhouse. Our server was great, though she clearly had too many tables to be able to provide over the top service ( she truly seemed like she wanted us to enjoy our meal) Service opportunities: food timing - mson course was on the heels of our salad, slow to refill water and check on drinks. Food seemed a little salty. Our salad was served with a chilled fork which was a nice touch. We were in a booth so seating was comfortable. Tables for two looked tight. Nice coctail menu and wine list Note: located inside the casino. My rating rationale  +.5 Service +.5 Food~Taste/flavor/quality +1 Presentation +1 Atmosphere/vibe +1 Value read more

Two words...not great. This establishment tries to be "high end" but it is quite lack luster. When I was seated the table had something sticky in it and flies dominated our table and ended up in the butter. I got the 14 oz New York Strip but six ounces was fat and gristle as seen in the photo. Service was intermittent. Won't be back here that's for sure. When in doubt, leave it out. read more

I've visited twice and was very disappointed both times. The pricing implies this is a higher end steakhouse, but you'll find better ambiance and a much tastier steak at Longhorn Steakhouse. The dining room feels more like a hotel dining room. It is brightly overlit and there is no background music at all. The oversized booths all face other tables so there is a lack of privacy. Our server was very friendly and knowledgeable, as was the host/manager, but service was extremely slow. The pace of drinks and food from the kitchen was very slow. The most disappointing aspect was the lack of a well cooked steak. Both visits for us produced poorly cooked steaks. They obviously don't use flames at all, but they do not get their pans nearly hot enough to produce any kind of sear at all. And they are barely seasoned even though the server states they use heavy salt and pepper to prepare. They do not! While the sides were prepared well and were tasty, the cooks have absolutely no clue how to cook a proper steak. Do not recommend this place and will not return. read more

Consistently good food- high quality steaks, and don't sleep on the roasted mushrooms! read more

I want to preface this review by saying that this was a completely unplanned, spontaneous visit and we could not have been more pleasantly surprised! I believe on the weekends reservations are necessary, but we got lucky and were able to get a table on the 'patio' of sorts immediately. I don't even know where to begin, so I will just start with the beverage selections and complimentary bread. Our server/bartender, Shauna, was amazing! She began our visit by going over the menu's highlights which was extremely insightful. We ordered the spiced pear martini and a French 75 to start. Those came out in a short amount of time with their complimentary bread and butter. The bread and butter was BEYOND delightful. We limit our carbs usually, but we ate every last bite of that bread without regret. It was light and fluffy, croissant in flavor, almost pretzel topped, and just chefs kiss . The drinks were delicious and aesthetically appealing. We ordered the corn and crab fritter appetizer and it was really good. If I'm being honest it was probably the least remarkable part of the meal, but still had good flavors. The downsides of it for us were that it was a very small portion for $22 and comparatively speaking had less of a 'wow' factor. For our entrees we both ordered the Snake River Farms Gold Wagyu Filet and we accompanied those with the Brussel sprouts and steak fries. This was both of our first times trying wagyu and it was just melt in your mouth AMAZING. We often have filets, but this was next level. The brussel sprouts were covered in raspberry coulis and crushed peanuts and the flavors complimented so incredibly well. The 'steak fries' were so much more than expected, coated in Parmesan, and served with a horseradish cream sauce that was to die for and a house made ketchup that was phenomenal for ketchup. We then finished the meal with the smoked old fashioned and another spiced pear martini which were again both delicious. Shauna made sure that we didn't leave without taking the Tahitian vanilla crème brûlée home with us and I could not be more grateful. Overall, the meal was a splurge meal for us, but definitely well worth it. We will be returning to try some other menu items and indulge once again on the items we tried tonight. The only negatives we would have (which had nothing to do with the restaurant/service) was that because the restaurant is in the casino on the smoking side it comes with a smell. read more

Final Cut Steakhouse - Crab & Corn Fritters - Steakhouses Near Me - Charles Town, West Virginia

Overall, this place was a huge disappointment ,really more like 2 1/2 than three stars. When we arrived on time for our reservation, we were directed to a table and told we could not have a booth because we did not make a reservation specifically for a booth. I saw plenty of other people just walk in and get a booth so that really pissed me off especially since it was our anniversary and they knew it. Our waitress was good and the service was good, but lots of issues with the food. The French onion soup was average and my wife was not fond of the giant pieces of rosemary that were in it. The table bread was very good as was the butter. We split the wedge salad and it had some weird chunks that must've been bacon, but it was chewy like a crackling. The skirt steak chimichurri was good and the meat was tender. The steak fries were a weird sliced spear of an entire fried potato. The accompanying sauces were good. My wife's ribeye was decent, but her baked potato was clearly not cooked the day we ate there. It wasn't hot and didn't even melt the butter. The crème brûlée was good for dessert and they did comp us since it was our anniversary so that was a nice touch. Definitely would've been better in the booth and not having to smell smoke from the casino floor because we were too close to the front door. There's absolutely no dress code here most of the people had on jeans and T-shirts. I definitely won't be back here when we have much better options to choose from like Eddie Merlot 's, which is our favorite place. Totally overpriced and overrated. read more

Finally had the opportunity to have dinner at The Final Cut at Hollywood Casino at Charles Town Races and wow our meal started with a fresh brioche bun with super soft butter. Tiger prawns were next for our appetizer. These were really fresh and pretty large. the Beef Tartare was pretty good! Super mild taste and complemented well with the balsamic and cucumbers Ashley Mendoza got the roasted red pepper soup and I'm pretty sure consumed her entire bowl in 5 minutes. Needless to say she said it was amazing. I got a traditional filet medium rare. They also had a roasted balsamic garlic to compliment it. The steak was great, I'm more of a ribeye guy so I would probably go for that the next time. the sides were really great! The whipped potatoes were super airy and light! The roasted Broccoli was super fresh! The Mac and cheese way way better than I expected. Super cheesy and flavorful. We also got the elote which I loved! The scallops were really fresh and I really enjoyed! They were meaty if that makes sense and the sear was perfect with the risotto. I'm a huge fan of the marrow bone and this may have been one of my favorite parts of the meal. The perfect amount of salt and super rich flavors. we had to finish it off with the triple chocolate cake and added vanilla ice cream. This thing was huge, I mean massive. We couldn't even finish half of it, and for $9 it was a great price. Overall, a really pleasant experience. Traditionally, I would drive to northern Virginia for an experience like this. Im glad to know its right in my backyard and I'll definitely be returning. The service was A+ and the entire staff went really pleasant as well! I've got my eyes on the braised short rib next time. The area inside is really nice and comfortable, it also feels very private. read more

I wish I was able to give this place less than 1 star. Don't eat here! The food was either over cooked or under cooked. It was a terrible experience. Terrible. Go to Texas Roadhouse or some other place near by. This place is terrible. I'm not sure if it's the head chef and the staff as well. Terrible experience! I can't articulate just how bad this food was! They didn't even pack our food up for us. For the amount we paid, this was one of the absolute worst experiences I've ever had! Never again! read more

Final Cut Steakhouse - Definitely not worth it. Total waste of time and money. - Steakhouses Near Me - Charles Town, West Virginia

Very good steak, my experience was wonderful in regard to the steak and meat quality. Ribeye was cooked perfect. Sides were perfect, bread was great! Drinks wonderful! Service was the only downside it was very slowww. I'd say the service doesn't match the fine dining steakhouse atmosphere vibes for sure but at the end of the day it's still a casino in WV. It's not DC, I get it. I think the price should reflect this. So my 5 stars are simply for the food. Overall I'd say this is my favorite restaurant in the area. Also has heavy smoke smell, but again your at a casino soooo read more

Very disappointed in the service and quality. I bought a $120 tomahawk steak (no sides included) and thought it would be a nice treat. I specifically told the waiter I wanted it light pink in the middle and medium to medium well (no blood). So they bring me the steak and it was rare as can be. When the manager stopped by to check on our table I discussed all of the above and she said oh we can heat it up and you can take it home. That's it no sorry, no taking anything off the tab. At this point the meal was ruined in my opinion. I'm not a big fan of sending anything back to the kitchen who knows what will happen to it then. In any case, this will be the last time I go to that place. I think they need to upgrade the chef and get the steak cooked right the first time for that price. read more

Imagine a West Virginia steakhouse with no steaks. No filets, and American "Waygu" Sirloin the waitress tells you "it's awful"..... now welcome to the Final Cut! At some points of the meal we thought we were being punked ( remember that TV show?). There wasn't rosemary for a drink, the Pisco Sour tasted like detergent, the garlic that came with the only two recommended, and available meat options (ribeye and T bone), was so charred, it was barely edible, the bearnaise sauce was green!!! I can actually keep going, the cup our coffee came in was dirty. We left dinner thinking food poisoning was imminent and wishing we could be reimbursed for our two hour experience. I don't think I've ever left a 1 star review, but this place barely earned the one star. You're probably better off at the casino food court than at this "high end" dinning option. Save your money, sanity, and your stomach! read more

With inflation this restaurant has gone through reducing the portion sizes of the foods served at the same time keeping their prices the same or increasing them. We had dinner last night at the Final Cut . Since we weren't too hungry we ordered a limited meal. My wife had their special salad which she loved. I order the French Onion soup and their Chicken breast dinner. The soup arrived so hot I had to put ice in it. There was a limited amount of cheese and a bunch of thick cubed bread chunks that was difficult to chew. The soup wasn't the worst soup I have gotten here before but it wasn't very good. My Chicken was a major disappointment. It was tasteless and dried out. I only ate the wing portion and took the rest home. I did eat the potatoes. They were pretty good. Our server was fantastic! I only wish this restaurant could get their food right. It's so inconsistent. We come here a lot because the casino Comps us. Some time the food is pretty good . You never know what you're going to get. Like the casino it's a gamble. read more

My husband and I visited Final Cut for the third time and were very happy with our visit. Our server, Brittany, was spectacular, knowledgeable and personable - exactly what you hope for in a server. Our cocktails were lovely, and our oysters and prawn appetizers were fresh and delicious. My flank steak was amazing and my husbands duck was great too. The only constructive critique was that there was too much caraway crumble on the duck which made it eat slightly dry. Thank you so much to the Final Cut team for a delicious meal. read more

Well, i guess covid killed ownerships palate, cuz i think they went from prime to select on there steaks, final cut is now chasing texas road house. While before they tried to be a premium product purveyor, now nothing more than an outback with eeehhhh food, no tomahawk ,, no 4 pound lobsters., the ribeye is generally served raw no matter how u order it, i have given this place about 3 shots after covid and it keeps getting worse. This is a texas road house without texas road house quality steaks.. i think maybe there clientele demand cheaper food or something but the premium that was here is now gone.

Overall, it was wonderful except one thing. Where was the Sinatra? I didn't hear any music which was OK cause the casino was right there and there was a lot of casino activity obviously and we had that to entertain us but a little Sinatra at the steakhouse goes along way, but the meal was fabulous. It was truly one of the best meals I've ever had. read more
