This was hands down one of the best dining experiences my family and I have ever had. We came for my birthday dinner before our visit to the Michigan Theater to see David Sedaris perform. As we were walking to the restaurant, my diabetic mother started feeling her blood sugar drop. By the time we got inside, it had fallen to 44, so we headed to the bar and asked for a Sprite. The bartenders took care of her immediately and refused to take payment. They continued to monitor her, bringing her another glass as soon as she finished one, all while taking care of their many other patrons at the bar. They were kind, attentive, and made her feel truly cared for. Ben was our waiter, and he was also very attentive. He made sure we had everything we needed and checked on us often. The food was so delicious we tipped the kitchen staff twice (I love that this was offered as an option on the menu!). We all sampled bites from each other's orders, and I honestly couldn't tell you who had the best dish because there wasn't a bad bite at the table. My sister even struggled to decide whether to enjoy every bit of her steak there or save some to enjoy the next day. Despite how delicious everything was, we saved room for dessert, and I'm so glad we did. The crème brûlée and the chocolate chip cookie cheesecake were to die for! As we were finishing our meal, we realized we would need to-go boxes, but since we had taken an Uber into Ann Arbor and the theater doesn't allow outside food, we were worried the leftovers would go to waste. Matt, the manager, came to the rescue and said he would be happy to hold our food until after the show. We were so grateful! Ben carefully boxed everything up, and we were off to the show. I cannot commend this business enough on their high-class team. A restaurant is made or broken by the staff they employ, and every single person we encountered went above and beyond in their professionalism, courteousness, and genuine hospitality. We will absolutely be making this a regular spot for our whole family and cannot wait to introduce it to our friends and extended family. Thank you again for a lovely evening! read more

Doesn't compare to the OG location. The price for the shrimp cocktail is kind of insane, but it is good. The shrimp are large and I like that they include a glob of horseradish in the sauce. I do like that they offer bread and butter! You know I'm never turning down that offer. Service was ok but could have been better -- we had to flag down our server a couple times. It was a snowy night, but I remember it being freezing inside. Felt kind of cold/clinical in there. Something about the lighting, perhaps. read more

Knight's in downtown Ann Arbor is a great place to go for a steak dinner. The prices are mid-range and very reasonable for a steakhouse. We've been here several times, and it's always a solid choice for a date night. The interior is modern and comfortable, and they have a bar area with TVs. The dress code is pretty casual, and seating includes a mix of tables and booths. The wait staff was friendly and attentive, and the drinks were good. My husband ordered a mule--he liked it, though he still prefers their Dark and Stormy. I ordered a non-alcoholic drink and had them add rum; it turned out tropical, fruity, and really enjoyable. If you're not looking to drink alcohol, they do offer a nice selection of NA beverages. For dinner, my husband got the prime rib, which he said was excellent, and he thinks their mashed potatoes are the best. I ordered the au gratin potatoes, which were very good, and the risotto. The risotto was just okay for me--not my favorite--but overall the meal was enjoyable. We'll definitely be back again. read more

Came in for dinner, I had the 6oz filet mignon, Yukon mashed potatoes, and veggies. The food I would give a 4/10. My steak was flavorful, the mashed potatoes were plain, the veggies appeared boiled and had zero flavor. I had a pomegranate martini cocktail, I'd rate that 7/10. Our server was very nice. The atmosphere was loud, there's games on the TV at the bar. Will I return? No. read more

Was pretty disappointed. The calamari was too salty, the sauce tasted a little strange and it wasn't as crunchy as I wished since there was too much sauce. The steak and vegetables were all unseasoned, the steak also tasted burnt and was not tender. The cocktails did not taste that great either. I found it surprising how high the dishes were priced considering the quality of the food wasn't satisfactory. read more

This is a great casual steak spot and food is delicious. They have a variety of food selections for any type of appetite.

Came here for an anniversary dinner with my wife. They consistently brought the wrong dishes and wine. The food was under seasoned and overcooked and certainly not worth the price tag. Definitely disappointed. read more

Love knights miss being able to visit as much as I used to, but always stop in when I can.

Agree with a lot of the other posts--just okay. They crammed every table they could into the space and it felt like I was eating on an airline tray table at our four top that should have been a two top. Food was also just okay--my burger was falling apart and had soaked through the bottom half of the bun by the time I got it like had I ordered delivery. Waiter was also nice enough, but doing double duty as bartender and stopped by three times from the time we walked in to the time we paid. That said, I had my kids with me and that's where this place sort of redeemed itself. First, the kids menu is shockingly cheap--like $7 per kid, which these days is a crazy deal. Also, they had honest to goodness Kraft macaroni and cheese on the menu, which candidly every restaurant with a kids menu should have. I don't care how great your truffle/breadcrumbs/nine cheese blends are--99% of kids will eat Kraft's best and reject anything else. I make no apologies for this and good on Knights. So taken together, I guess good place for kids, except maybe they'll ignore you because your tab will be $50, and ask for a booth? Maybe would have a different experience if I went all out on steak and seafood, but having eaten at some pretty legit steakhouses in Chicago and NY I suspect from what I saw that the rave reviews there are from folks who just haven't had better. To be just a bit of a snob, this place was giving off big "just down the road from the convention center" energy; that said, would probably return for the blue box special. read more

Food was terrible! Totally diner food at best; a bad roadside diner. Please do not call this a "steakhouse", that is beyond misleading. The prices are high for what you get (see above) and on top of this we were up-charged for everything, beware and make sure to ask if offered what would seem like normal included ingredients. Very disappointed. read more

The restaurant suffers from an identity problem. It does not know whether it is a steakhouse or a sports bar. As soon we were taken to our table, we passed by a large bar area with several seats still available. A solo visitor may be able to dine without a reservation by sitting at the bar. Fortunately, the bar was not excessively noisy. Unfortunately, there was a large party seated at the nearby table and directly in front of a television. They thought this was a sports bar and often shouted at the television showing a college hockey game. I ordered a bottle of wine. Because our waitress was inexperienced at uncorking, she had to ask for a more experienced waitress to uncork it. The food was okay. The Fried Brussels Sprouts tasted great especially with the maple-mustard, balsamic reduction. Unlike our experiences at other steakhouses, the waitress never inquired about the filet mignon or the prime rib. I had expected to have been asked to cut the steak to verify it was cooked appropriately. Not sure why the brownie sundae was named Brownie Bottom Sundae since the brownie is typically on the bottom and the ice cream on top. In either case, it tasted like any other brownie sundae. When even a larger party was seated at another nearby table, I knew it was time to go whether or not the dessert was finished. read more

We had dinner at Knight's on a Sunday night following an event. I have mixed feelings after my first visit. We started with the Seafood Tower for an appetizer. Everyone at the table enjoyed this. I thought it needed more flavor. It did have dollops of hot sauce, which helped. For dinner I had the smaller New York strip. My steak was very good. It was cooked perfectly. I forgot to order an "enhancement". The dinner came with a cup of soup. I chose the cream of mushroom, which was very good. Prices are on the expensive side (my steak was $32 for 8oz). The service was friendly, but painfully slow on this night. We waited forever to order. And, looking around the room, we were not the only ones waiting. It was over 30 minutes for my wife to get a glass of wine. The meal was much longer than expected. The atmosphere felt an upscale take on an English pub. There is a bar in the middle of the room with various tables and booths. A few tvs has the Michigan hockey game (appreciated), but not a sports bar by any means. I would give this place another go. read more

Got a reservation so no problem with getting a seat. We were greeted and immediately seated. Ethan was our server and he did an excellent job! I tried both the Mussel sausage gumbo and Black and Blue pork chops. Both were excellent. The whole staff there really hustles to keep the restaurant clean and strive to make all the customers happy. I am so glad I was able to come back and enjoy another excellent meal at Knight's Ann Arbor Downtown. read more

First off, I've been coming here for years and it's been a reliable standby- a great menu of excellent and simple (enough) dishes, a well curated wine list, excellent outdoor and indoor seating options (depending on the season), heavy pour with mixed drinks, great desserts. Anyhoo when I came back to town to reunite with good friends, it was top of the list. I called ahead a few days to ask for a reservation for 19, separate checks... and they willingly accommodated. The service was excellent, several friends commented on how good their food was, they didn't push us out so we could linger. You knocked it out of the park again, Knights Downtown. Thanks for being my favorite downtown restaurant! read more

Serving staff,very competent. My server Mike, very outstanding. Menu very extensive and expensive, my 'buffalo chicken salad- mediocre. Chicken was hard and overcooked- poor flavor. Waffle fries overcooked and cold. Perhaps the expensive beef steak selections are tender and flavored when served. read more

We recently went to Knights for a birthday celebration. While the service was still great and the drinks reasonable and plentiful our food was a mixed bag. Everyone that got a burger was happy and the desserts tasty but the famous Knights bread was now hard , cold dinner rolls . Those with now even pricier meals of steak and fish were disappointed and some sent back. Might try again for casual lunch but may no longer be worth the splurge read more

Although I'm a vegetarian each time I go to Knights I am delighted. Each of the servers has a special connection with me that I feel very welcomed and grateful to receive. I especially enjoy the salads which are so creatively made. Whomever is in charge of those puts a lot of extra thought and refreshing contrast into their delivery. So who would've thought that a steak steakhouse would be the best choice for me? I will return again to Knights because they take good care of me! read more

Favorite place in A2 thus far. We moved from Chicago about a month ago and I have been on the hunt for what will be our go-to spot. So far Knights is it. We've been many times for just drinks- the dirty martinis are amazing. Lunch once- I got the burger and my husband got the Cajun chicken pasta. Both were delicious and fairly priced. I'm a burger fan and this is the best one I've had in Ann Arbor yet- I've tried 4-5 since we moved here. Dinner- we are big ribeye fans so decided to split the larger one. We each got a salad and the kitchen split the dish for us. This might sound like it's not a big deal but it makes the experience so much better. The blue cheese chips were addicting- I wouldn't get them every time for the two of us because it's a very large portion. The ribeye was cooked perfectly, veggies were flavorful and soft, and the Mac and cheese is a side we'll get again. Overall- Knights is a fan favorite in our household and we look forward to many more visits. read more

I thought I was familiar with all the restaurants in downtown Ann Arbor, as for years, I spent most weekends exploring the town and enjoying its eateries. However, I missed a key one, Knight's Steakhouse. I figured it out at 2am and excitedly made a reservation for later on in the day. What a perfect way to celebrate. The restaurant is bright and airy from the expansive walls of windows that look out onto the vibrant street life. Outside, groups were enjoying the comfortable summertime weather on an enlarged patio that extended onto the roadway. Inside, the crowd was smaller. There was a large group of celebrants occupying a table up front, people enjoying a game at the bar, and a few tables filled with relaxed and smiling guests. I already knew what I was going to get, before taking a quick peek at the online menu to confirm my choice. Aside from duck, prime rib is my favorite meal. I love the tenderness of the beef and the variety of steakhouse accompaniments. It's also something that I rarely make at home, despite the fact that it is relatively easy. Of course, that was what I had ordered, even though Yelpers point to the excellence of the burgers here, as well as the other cuts available on the menu. The prime rib was excellent, as tasty and satisfying as I expected. I easily trimmed through all the fat (always expected with this cut) and enjoyed the heartiness of the beef, ordered with extra vegetables and sautéed mushrooms. After a slow start, service was quick and professional. read more

I had the black bean hummus with pita as an appetizer. The hummus was pretty good, the lightly fried pita was the star. So light and crispy but still soft in the middle. The large chunks of carrot were inedible though. I had the Bourbon butter hanger steak. The steak was cooked well but the outside char was a little hard to eat. The butter sauce wasn't bad but I didn't taste the bourbon. Mashed potatoes and Au gratin potatoes are AMAZING. The asparagus was a nice side you don't see super often. The knight and day pie is so good, it's actually cheesecake though. It's a chocolate cheesecake, layered with white chocolate mouse and a little ganache on top. read more

We had reservations at 4:45pm on Saturday. We were in town for the MSU basketball game. I started with an Aperol Spritz and it was refreshing and delicious. We started with the filet sliders. The flavor was delicious and the meat was so tender. If I could change anything, I would do the fried crispy onions instead of the cooked onions. It needed a little bit of a crunch. Or even toast the bun so that the bun is a little crispy. I ordered the French onion soup and my husband the Caesar salad. My soup was hot, flavorful, and the cheese was so melty and delicious. My husband's salad had the most delicious Caesar dressing on it. We were then given a bread basket and it was a pleasant surprise. The bread and butter were actually really good. Our server was friendly and quick to grab things for us. My husband and I both had New York strip steaks. We added the garlic butter and crispy onions as well at the Knights house steak seasoning. The steaks were cooked perfectly and had great flavor. Once the sun had made its way below the buildings, staff opened the windows. It helped with the ambience of our dinner. I also loved the fresh flower at our table. My husband added shrimp to his steak and we shared it. We also asked for fresh horseradish and horseradish sauce. Our server brought both out to us. We use horseradish on almost everything. Ha! Our server recommended Knight and Day pie, so that's what we ordered for dessert. It was a great recommendation. So silky and delicious! read more

Last night of our business trip we stopped here for dinner. I didn't catch our waiter's name but he was awesome. As for the food it was wonderful. I had the 16oz steak with mash potatoes with gravy along with a house salad. For drinks a classic old fashioned which was delicious. The steak was perfectly cooked and seared. Knights was recommended by one of our co-workers who is a native from Ann Arbor. Wonderful atmosphere and ambiance. I would definitely visit again. read more

My mother-in-law had her this place down in Florida and really wanted to try it. We were greeted promptly when we came in and seated. There were so many great sounding things on the menu that it took a while to decide what we wanted but we ultimately got a tuna appetizer to share and then we each ordered steaks. Appetizer was incredible. I really liked the crispy chips that went along with it because it gave a little bit different mouth feel from the creamy tuna and avocado. When our meals arrived I was impressed that the steaks were perfectly cooked! I guess it makes sense given that this is a steakhouse but still I have gone elsewhere and had over cook steaks. I was a little disappointed in the vegan risotto. I can't tolerate dairy so my original option, maybe mashed potatoes with cream in them, or something I knew I couldn't eat so I was going to get extra vegetables. Waitress suggested that they have vegan risotto so I decided to get it. This really was not risotto, it was more like rice pilaf with vegetables. read more

This is a great restaurant with great food on a great campus that makes really great food and strong drinks. I didn't get the steak, even though all my local friends recommended it, because I have discovered that since I switched to cooking my steaks exclusively Sous Vide, I find it nearly impossible to find a steak cooked as good as I can make it at home, so I quit spending money on expensive cuts in restaurants. Everything else we had, however, was fantastic. We had a meat and cheese board, sliders and other sandwiches. Everything was delicious and the atmosphere on a football, home-game, Friday night was electric. When I was in school here this location did not exist so I'm glad they opened it and we will certainly come back. The bottom line: I guess you could say this is sort of a "fancy bar food place." The food is super good, the drinks are strong, the menu is comprehensive and the service is outstanding. We will be back. read more

Please note considering the price point of Knights the review will have higher expectations than most of my other reviews. Overall the food is great, but considering the price point, I want as close to perfection as possible. Both steaks came with a soup or salad, I went with the cream of mushroom which was delicious and my wife had the salad which she enjoyed. The star for my wife and I was actually the Bordelaise hanger steak, which surprised us as we thought it would be the cowboy ribeye. The hanger steak was tender cooked to medium rare perfection, the bordelaise sauce took it to the next level. The cowboy ribeye was cooked medium rare as well very tender, if you like char flavored meat than you will love this steak. We had the waitress bring out some horseradish to take the ribeye to the next level. For a side my wife ordered the wild mushroom risotto, which had a bit to much salt, had nice flavor otherwise. For appetizer we ordered the seafood tower, the tuna, crab, and chilled seared scallops were good on their own but we're definitely missing something. The couple of drops of sriracha to make the plate look pretty was not enough for flavor a dipping sauce of some sort is needed to take this dish to the next level. For dessert we had the vanilla crème brûlée with berries. Perfectly flamed crisp on top with soft velvety brûlée on the bottom eating it with the berries enhanced the flavor. Overall the food was good and it should be at this price point. The negatives for me as my wife and I do not drink alcohol there really were no non alcoholic options besides water and if there was our waitress did not mention them just started us off with a water. Also our water never got refilled which I would have expected at least once for a 4 course meal. The waitress otherwise was prompt as each course came out in a timely fashion. My other knock is the seating arrangement is very crowded not a lot of space to work with. Overall the quality of meat speaks for itself nice for a date night with drinks. If you do not drink alcohol the options seem very limited or the waitress needs to do a better job advertising them as I do not see them on the menu. For a romantic evening, I would not recommend this place much to loud and crowded. read more

We went here on a Saturday at about noon and sat outside. It was not overly busy inside or outside. We ordered the sweet Italian sausage hash (special), the salmon sandwich, and bacon jam goat cheese burger. It took over an hour for our food to arrive and the waitress didn't stop in to give us an update or apologize for the length in time. The only communication in between was that "our food will be right out," and we then proceeded to wait an additional 10 minutes for it. Once the food arrived it was all really good, but arguably overpriced and we spent an hour and 45-minutes at this place which is just absurd. read more
