My husband and I stopped by because we always saw that it stayed busy. However after eating there I'm very disappointed. First, we ordered the spinach dip and it lacked flavor. Please retest this recipe and try again. I've see other reviews referring to the spinach dip so I'm not alone. Second, I ordered the Smothered Chicken. Again, I'm not sure why but the flavor was off. It was a 5/10. My husband had a steak (unseasoned) and sweet potato casserole that tasted like it came out of a can. I know I'm speaking a lot on the taste but we have friends who have dined here and agree it's lacking flavor overall. Ambiance was fine and the wait staff was polite. It was overpriced for the quality of food. read more

Stopped on our way home to Nashville. Food and service was great. Highly recommend the fried mushroom appetizer.

Nothing special on steaks. Very over priced for an average steak. Had a few drinks crown and they charge outrageous for these My wife and I had dinner 2 steaks and 5 drinks over $120. Other places in town much better food and drinks for close to half that price read more

My husband and I went out to eat here because we have had their catering and the pork chop was great however we order the filet and sweet potato with the spinach dip. The steak I asked for medium and it was more than rare, no flavor and the bacon on the outside wasn't cooked. That truly was the worst steak I've ever had and my husband and I eat a lot of steak. If you want an honest review that steak was the definition of dog shit and I won't go back and spend $150 on a meal. read more

DO NOT USE THEM FOR YOUR CATERING NEEDS!!!!!!! we had schedule a large event to be catered and they no call, no showed. we will NOT be using them in the foreseeable future. find somewhere else to spend your money! read more

So first off, the salad bar is very good and only 8$ for all you can eat! Where can you find THAT these days? Waitress remembered me and I've only been there once before....wow! Now ,their wine was very cold and delicious . Great selection for a semi-casual steakhouse. Haven't tried the steak yet, so can't tell you. Overall 4 stars....and I can be quite critical, sooooo read more

As soon as we walked in last night, we were greeted by the host with a smiling face. We were sat immediately and welcomed by Briley. She was the best server! So friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere is great! We started with the cheese fries and this is the only reason that I gave it 4 stars. They were COLD, even the cheese was cold. I had the 6 oz Colorado ribeye, it was the perfect size for me. Cooked great! The broccoli was fresh, tasty and hot! The salad bar is fantastic as small as it is, it has plenty to choose from. He had the 12oz CARIBBEAN RIB-EYE. It was amazingly tender and really good! He also had a baked potato that was steaming hot and so tasty with all the toppings. We would defiantly visit again when in the area! read more

We love JWs Steakhouse! From the welcoming hostesses Holly and Bailey to all the amazing servers. The salad bar (Yes! They have a delicious salad bar) and menu items are all cooked to perfection! We have had private dinner parties with a buffet style menu for birthdays and anniversary celebrations. Jody, the owner will work with you to come up with the perfect menu and he also owns the Whitt House where we have attended many wedding receptions, luncheons and formals. You will love the atmosphere! read more

Nice family environment, food was very good. But DO NOT order the spinach artichoke dip . Was so bad that it almost made my wife lose her appetite. Other than that, it was a great experience! read more

The fried mushrooms were the best I've ever had and the ribeye was perfectly cooked. We didn't get the salad bar but it looked really good too. read more

Standard steakhouse ambience. The service was great and friendly but the quality of the food preparation really depends on which day that you visit. It's a place that I don't go to with any regularity read more

Had the bacon wrapped steak and a skewer of grilled shrimp. It was delicious!! Highly recommend!

Restaurant is clean, rustic feel. Service was fast and so friendly!! The food was great. Maybe a little pricey for the area, but we would def come back so it wasn't too bad! The veggies are all excellent and seasoned well. My husband loved his steak. read more

We loved JW's!!! The food is spot on and the service is fabulous! We had steak and chicken and both were delicious. We're not local and I found this on Yelp. My husband thanked me for picking it. WIN WIN!!! read more

We were pleasantly surprised when we found this steakhouse while staying the night in Decatur AL while traveling. The place was busy and staff were friendly. The salad bar is small but has a nice variety of options. I ordered the steak kabob with onions and peppers. Quite possibly the most flavorful steak I've had an a lonnnng time. Fair warning on the onions: they will bite you back! My husband had the sweet potato and a salad. Both were very good. The decor is a hunter's dream - deer and duck mounted everywhere. Not necessarily my thing but it fit in the rustic lodge feel of the place. I can recommend JW Steakhouse without hesitation. read more

On the way back from Nashville, my dad picked out this steakhouse right off the interstate. It was a pleasant surprise. It feels like a steakhouse without the peanuts on the floor, has a separate bar area, and a projector and screen perfect for catching a football game. I chose the Wyoming rib-eye with mac and cheese and sweet potato casserole. I like my rib-eye medium and it came out medium well. The steak was marinated and seasoned with black pepper, garlic, and was a very good steak. The mac and cheese was gooey and very cheesy, just the way I like it. The sweet potato casserole was just like you would find at Thanksgiving. It was made with brown sugar and pecans. I considered french fries as a side and I asked the waitress if they were fresh cut. She didn't hesitate to tell me they were frozen...I like that honesty! A roll came with my steak. The sweet tea was refreshingly sweet! It has to be a special circumstance for me to order dessert from a restaurant. JW caught me with homemade cheesecake. That night they had regular and chocolate chip. I chose the chocolate chip and it was good cheesecake. Not the best I've ever had but still satisfying. I thought the crust was too hard. JW Steakhouse is worth a visit if you find yourself on I-65 near Decatur or on Alabama Highway 67. read more

Stopped here on a Tuesday evening on the road to New Orleans and had a very favorable experience. Sat in the very welcoming bar area and was served by Jennifer (Jessica?) who did an excellent job. Above average salad bar and an excellent selection of steaks and gourmet burgers were on the menu. I had bacon and Swiss burger and wife had the standard burger with traditional fixings. Both were excellent. Good iced tea (important in Alabama!) and our Mason jars were kept full. A good banana pudding finished things off. Extremely comfortable and relaxed; a well groomed, traditional southern atmosphere. Obviously, a go to place for the locals. We sat adjacent to a door that the wait staff used to access the outside seating area and the swinging door shook the nearby booths when used and slammed. No big deal, but perhaps some shocks for the door should be considered. Staff asked if we were passing thru and staying at a local hotel. We were and they discounted our meal!Nice touch and much appreciated. All and all a very good experience. Recommended! read more

They honestly can't cook a filet correctly. I've been in three times recently and they just can't do it. will not go back.

JW Steakhouse catered a lunch I had today at the Cook Museum and I have to say, it was the absolute best food I think I've ever had. EVER!!! Period. The meatloaf made moms look pale in comparison, the chicken tasted like a Sunday at Grandmas and my favorite, the greatest of all time is the squash casserole. If it would have been socially acceptable to lick the tray I would have. Thank you JW Steakhouse for the most amazing meal I've had in perhaps years. I'll be hitting up the restaurant soon with the wife and kids. read more

JW Steakhouse - Fried mushrooms very good and the batter has a great flavor. - Steakhouses Near Me - Decatur, Alabama

Had a great visit to JW's tonight. The best part of our visit was our server Madison. She was busting her butt. The food was pretty good. All of us enjoyed it. I got shrimp skewers that came on a bed of rice with a veggie skewer. It also came with two sides and a roll. I also got a trip to the salad bar which I wish I just added as a side for $2 because that big plate with a salad was a little much. I liked the sweet potato casserole though it was just mashed sweet potatoes with nuts and brown sugar on top. I love sweet potatoes. The mac-n-cheese was also tasty. Both kids had nice looking kid burgers. Plenty big enough for them. Adding cheese and bacon was only 50 cents. My wife and mom got grilled chicken, plain with white sauce and teriyaki respectively. The chickens looked pretty good. I'd get them. The menu seemed to be a buck or two higher than other steak places. I am not sure if they have some high dollar beef or not..didn't ask. The salad bar was average. Had typical salad stuff with a couple fruit options and a macaroni salad. I got the bleu cheese and it was just ok. Not very bleu-cheesy but more mayonnaise-y. I've had worse bars but I've had better. All in all a great visit. We left stuffed and happy. We'll be back. We hope we get Madison again. Service, food, salad bar..in that order. read more

This used to be a favorite place to eat and we always enjoy the salad bar. The last visit, the baked potato was a leftover from maybe the day before. Some of the food was cold and for the price it is not acceptable to have such an experience. We will not be back, which is disappointing for us. The food has always been good in the past but was really lacking that day. read more

The front desk clerk at our hotel recommended JW Steakhouse and we were ready for something other than fast food. They need to claim and update their Yelp page: not the same menu we had to order from. There was a line waiting for seats, but they got us all in quite quickly. Salad bar was excellent. Steaks were good, not great. Sides were delicious! Service was 5 stars! Would enjoy going back and bringing friends there. read more

We had reservations for 16 people days ahead of the date. No we did not pay extra for the party room. We were seated at 4 tables/booths which we understood. Server took drink order immediately--15 minutes later drinks arrived and we placed our dinner orders. Some came promptly but some I had to go look for the waitress. Some meals were hot but some were cold. Some were delicious but some were not. I do not recommend for large parties. We will go again when there is just the 2 of us. read more

It wasn't very crowded but I waited over 25 minutes for my order. Just ordered the Wyoming ribeye medium rare with a baked potato and macaroni and cheese. The mac and cheese tasted like "grandmas" would but the steak had absolutely zero flavor to it. It didn't even taste like steak. Had to add a bunch of salt and pepper just to have some flavor. Not horrible but I'm not sure I'll be making the drive back out here again anytime soon. read more

It's been a couple years since I've been here but it's a must visit when in the area. Everything about this place is great, except for the long waits on weekends! read more

Lovely. Great family place. Food great - May look busy but they have always seated us within 10 min

If you want an event catered, please stay away from this restaurant. We chose to book them for catering because of how well they catered the DMH foundation gala a few years ago. Two days before the event we booked, they called and canceled the booking, and stated "we overbooked and won't be able to cater." Two days! What reputable restaurant does that? If they knew they were overbooked, they should have been professional and not booked us, or let us know a week in advance so we could make other arrangements. It took us a while for us to get our money back, too. We had to make several calls to get a refund. From what I've heard, this a common issue with them. It's sad because I would rather support local businesses than go to another city--but this is definitely one local business I will not support. read more

We were three Yanquis driving from Florida back to Chicago on our annual snowbird trip down to beautiful Sarasota. Stopped by JW Steakhouse on a whim. Was pleasantly surprised. The waitstaff who greeted and served us was funny ... like we've known her since forever. We ordered fried green tomatoes for our appetizer ... Wonderful, crispy on the outside, tart inside. The breading was some sort of Japanese bread crumbs. I and a friend had the classic burger with fries. Excellent, very hearty and cooked to my specification - medium well. My other friend had the grilled chicken breast with coleslaw and baked sweet potato on the side. My friend couldn't get over how delicious the slaw was - in vinaigrette dressing, no mayonnaise. She also liked the sweet potato - very sweet and creamy. JW, the owner talked to us and said they used to get their sweet potatoes locally, but this batch was from Mississippi. For dessert, we shared the homemade peach cobbler. Oh boy, made from scratch, sweet, warm from the oven and topped with.vanilla ice cream. The best. If you are traveling through I-65, stop by Pricevillle, AL .. The restaurant Is near the highway, it has a "big chain" feel to it, but really, it's local and very cozy. It deserves more than a one star that the previous reviewer gave. read more

I used to love this place. Disappointed that they raised prices in the restaurant (price was high enough before) the online menu has inaccurate pricing. Food taste isn't as good as it was. (Average) $28 for a meal without a drink is crazy. Texas Roadhouse has much cheaper & better tasting steak. read more

Stopped by for dinner and had an awesome 1/2 smoked chicken and sides, which came with the famous White Sauce that is found only in this part of Alabama! Tangy, creamy, and sweet! This place is just off I-65, and although it seems a bit like a chain roadhouse, it is locally run. Service was prompt and friendly. Worth stopping if you are in the area. read more

I won't be back here. Very disappointing visit. This is no Long Horn! Ordered the filet, rare with salad bar & broccoli. The filet was a weird shape. Thin ends & fat middle so it was cooked well done on the ends and warm center rare in the middle. My broccoli was a bowl of way WAY over cooked mush covered with pepper which I did not put on. The salad bar offered iceberg lettuce, cheese, cherry tomatoes ( which looked old) cucumbers and raisins. That's it! Sorry salad bar. My friend sirloin which she ordered medium rare was well done, and my other friend ordered chicken which looked really unappetizing. It looked boiled. No grill marks, no browned top, no color at all. My husbands fish and chips was tasteless. The waitress was defensive when we complained so we will never be back. Ever! read more

If you want a GREAT steak this is the place to go - the filet was amazing. The service was top-notch. Not to mention they had an extensive bourbon selection. If you go try the fried mushrooms, they are tasty! read more
