The New Ross Steak House in New Ross, IN served one of the best fried catfish in Indiana. Always fresh and delicious. The cole slaw side can't be beaten. Steer away from the French fries. Lauren, our server, is the bright spot of this restaurant. She is as welcoming as she is prompt and accurate. Her slightly irreverent attitude accentuates her professional service with a smiling warmth. No other server compares. This hidden gem is worth the beautiful drive west. read more

Off the beaten path, we found a new to us place to get all you can eat catfish on Friday evenings. The parking lot is found across the street or there were a few spots along the road. When you go inside, be prepared that the waiting area is just enough room for two people. We were greeted upon entering and shown to a back table on the 'family side' of the restaurant since we had our grandsons with us. The other side has a bar with a few tables. My husband and I both got The All You Can Eat Catfish which comes with creamy coleslaw and French fries and noted it seems to be available as a seasonal item. We also got the children's shrimp, which is a big cereal bowl sized helping and comes with applesauce and fries. Our waitress was friendly and tended to us and her other tables well. This is very casual and has the small town feel. The Catfish fillets are huge and tasted great. I liked the coleslaw taste as well as the fries. We enjoyed our meal and will return. read more

7 of us ordered steaks. Ribeye, Filet and Strip. No flavor, no seasoning, no crust. The baked potatoes seemed to be from last week. Mushrooms were good. Salad was decent. Waitress was really nice. read more

Worst customer service I've ever experienced in my life. Tell the bartender is she doesn't want to work not to show up. Walked past us over 15 times and never even said hello. 10 out of 10 would not recommend read more

Drove 40 minutes to meet some family for dinner I've been to this place a couple of times before. However, it's gone downhill since. Went in to have a nice prime rib or ribeye dinner with guests. When we finally ordered, got told the prime rib couldn't be anything but medium and they were out of ribeyes. Ended up ordering a double cheeseburger that was underwhelming at best. Should have known when the prime rib price was $31 and it's only 10oz. Wife ordered the fries shrimp dinner. Came with 6 medium sized shrimp and some fried for $22. Seriously, only 6 for that price? The guest ordered the catfish dinner. It was the only redeeming quality of the night. There are better options close by with better food and lower prices. I won't need to make this trip ever again. read more

Catfish dinner Friday night was awesome. Nice place, good vibes, friendly staff , friendly patrons. Looking forward to the next visit.

Really bad food for our first time visitors. Ordered 3 prime rib dinners,Neither of them were even close to a prime rib. And paid big money for 1 inch steaks. They put 2 steaks on each plate. Wasn't Even able to eat them. Very disappointing. If you don't have prime rib say so. Don't try fooling us. Not our first rodeo. We know what prime rib is. Didn't make a scene because our little family was there. Probably won't be back. Really sad. Raise prices and try to cheat on the prime rib. Not cool. read more

My wife and I with our son. Went there for my birthday dinner. The food was amazing, we had the catfish, all you can eat. You couldn't had asked for a better waitress, she was on the ball. The catfish was so big and delicious, came with fries and they were hot and creamy coleslaw. The ambiance of food we got for a fair price was incredible. Great atmosphere and great place. read more

New Ross Steak House has a great family feel. It's located a little over 30 minutes from west of Indianapolis. We went here for a birthday celebration and everyone was friendly. This place is know for it's steaks and I'm a pescotarian. I yrues the catfish and it was just okay. Need improvements but it will do. Everyone who ordered the New York strip steak, cheeseburger and tenderloin were impressed. They loved the meal...the baked potatoes were great. The entrees come with a side and salad and is more than enough to fill you up. Laura was amazing and treated our party of 15 well. There was not a long wait for the food and they did not compromise in any area. Job well done New Ross Steak House! read more

Awesome destination restaurant ! There is a family dining area, we sat in the bar, the staff is very friendly . I had the breaded tenderloin, it was delicious and worthy of being sold in Indiana! My husband ordered a battered fish that came with fries and a salad. Great value and something about their batter/breading is amazing and unique . Check it out ! read more

Found this place on a map search and stopped for dinner on the way to our nephew's football game. Great food in a comfy, modest location. We had the appetizer combo platter, which was huge. My husband had the double cheeseburger and I had the breaded tenderloin. Everything was delicious. Generous portions all around and we left feeling satisfied and happy with our dinner choice! Can't wait to go back! read more

The definition of a small town restaurant. My dad lives 2 miles from here so we decided to grab dinner. Both the main area and bar are small. When we walked in the ceiling lights were off which I found weird. Everything on my menu is cheap,and from what I ordered, everything is fresh. I ordered a grilled tenderloin and onion rings. Was disappointed in the sandwich due to how dry it was, but I wasn't sure if grilled tenderloins are typically that dry or not the onion rings were good but the onions were super thin. Overall it was meh ‍ read more

New Ross Steak House - Grilled tenderloin sandwich with onion rings - Steakhouses Near Me - New Ross, Indiana

Waitress was very good, but it was down hill from their. Our salad was smaller than it used to be and they have discontinued the cracker basket Ordered a small sirloin that was on the menu only to be told by our waitress that they are no longer available. Settled on a small t-bone and was disappointed in the lack of no searing on the offering. It seemed it was warmed up in the micro-wave and had little or no seasoning. Baked potato was firm in the middle and not very hot. We have been going their for over 30 years and have never been so disappointed in our meal. That will be the last time! read more

We came here w some friends. First off no credit cards so make sure you have cash. Our server was super polite. Got our drinks right out to us. The menu ranges from $3 for a grilled cheese to $30 steaks. I had the tenderloin which was ok but I wouldn't order it again. My daughter had the 6 oz filet and she said it was delicious. My other daughter had the fried chicken and she said that was good. My husband had the a prime Rib and did not like it. He said it was tough. We might come back. It has a local small town feel. I would rather give my money to restaurants like this than a chain. read more

Not fancy, but good food at a reasonable price. I have been here every year or so since back in the 1980's. THEY DO NOT TAKE CREDIT CARDS! Other than that a very good steak with all the trimmings. They have an appetizer sampler which practically filled up my two college aged sons. They have seafood entrees there too. They have carafes of house wine that were a very good deal. There is an attached bar where distilled spirits are available. Walked right in on Wabash graduation weekend, no waiting. read more

My husband and I have been on a mission to hit eateries in the area surrounding Crawfordsville. We stopped at the New Ross Steak House on a Friday night to enjoy good food and a friendly environment. This steak house definitely has a small town feel. You can look around and see which locals are probably their regulars. We shared the fried cheese balls appetizer. I loved it! They were little balls of deliciousness that were served with a side of ranch and some other dipping sauce. I had the fried shrimp dinner. I chose the sides of fries, a salad with house made poppyseed dressing, and a dinner roll. Everything was just decent. The fries and shrimp were just pre-packaged frozen foods. The homemade poppyseed dressing was mostly mayonnaise. On the other hand, my husband ordered the prime rib dinner. He was very impressed with the prime rib. He said it was the best he has had in a while! read more

My office and I went to New Ross Steak House on a company outing and had a great time. It is a small mom and pop diner in the one stop light burg of New Ross up interstate 74 about 20 miles from Indy. The staff was incredibly friendly and the small town atmosphere makes you feel incredibly welcome. It is the kind of place you can see yourself stopping on your motorcycle and grabbing a bite to eat during a day of countryside cruising. The food itself was pretty good. I was very impressed with the appetizer sampler which included decent wings, friend mushrooms, and onion rings. The star of this was the friend cheese balls. They were spicy and I could have probably made a meal out of a plate of these along. The salad they served before the meal was simple but satisfying with lettuce, cucumbers, and tomatoes. The meal itself was fair but nothing special. I had the 14$ surf and turf combo. While the shrimp was very good, I found the Filet unusually tough for that cut of meat. Others in my party had the T-bone which while rather large, looked very fatty and greasy. I must also mention the bar service that while quick and reasonably priced, used a cheaper whiskey then I requested in my cocktail without acknowledging it. Overall this is a small town diner which might be worth a stop on a country drive, but not worth an independent trip. read more

Although I've driven through New Ross a few times, I've never eaten at this establishment, until this evening. My order: 10 oz Filet Migon, shrimp, salad, steak fries and a house merlot. The waitress informed me that their 10 oz filet mignon was their best cut of meat. Since I eat a lot filet anyway, that's what I ordered. The meal came and it was very sub-par for a filet. The fries were decent, the salad was decent, the shrimp was good and the house merlot was decent, but it was only $3. So, no big deal. I said something nicely to the waitress about the steak not being very good and ask her to say something to the manager. I thought maybe she would bring another steak or offer me something else. Instead she just brought back the check and it was for the full price ($43) Being a business owner myself, what I couldn't help but notice was how this situation was handled. No acknowledgement of the steak being very sub-par. No offer to help rectify the situation. Nothing said, the bill was laid on the table and that was it. I wondered if they thought that maybe I just wanted a "freebie"...nope not the case. So, I paid the bill in full and also left a tip. I guess all I am saying is that, as a business owners, our customers are to be valued and I don't feel like I was in your establishment. read more

To dark in the dining area and steaks always left under cooked. For the cost the product is not up to standard.

The best place in Montgomery county to get a good steak dinner. Small Mom & Pop operation but they make a good steak and they are pretty cheap. Not positive if its local beef but I would assume that it is given the quality of the meat. The appetizers are pretty good too. If youre ever near New Ross and youre feeling hungry this is the best place to go. read more

Down home hole in the wall restaurant for sure. The atmosphere and the people are not fancy but, it is the best steak you will find within a 30 mile radius. The people are friendly and kind. The food is all really good and very reasonably priced for a steak house. The bar is stocked and can make you most of the drinks you ask for. It is very kid friendly! Just make sure you have cash or you will have to walk next door to the ATM. read more

An excellent small town steakhouse. Everyone was very cordial & nice, & the steak was perfect. Yup, I'd eat there again. And I'm used to Chicago steakhouses. read more

Great prime rib and sandwiches. Not fancy,home cooked meals. Non smoking a plus. Can be very busy on the weekends .

We visited the New Ross Steak House last night, Saturday March 2 for my birthday celebration. My family has frequented the steak house for many, many years, dating back to the early 70s and always raved about the food, the service and the price. After last nights' visit we won't be doing that again. Because it was Saturday night we weren't surprised to wait a few minutes for a table, however, we waited longer than necessary to place our order once seated. After ordering, our server came back and told us they were out of most steaks and baked potatoes. She came back again to to inform us they were also out of popcorn shrimp and cottage cheese. Our server lacked immensely in customer service skills. She never once checked to see if we needed drink refills which is universally customer service 101, nor did we get rolls with our meals. When she brought the check to the table I asked if they were out of rolls as well and she said not. When she gave my daughter the check I said, you're out of food, so now we're out of money. She made a joke about washing dishes so I had to literally explain the meaning of my comment. Of course we paid, but she did not get a tip because those are earned in our book. Something in this establishment has changed, big time! We won't be going back. read more

New Ross Steak House is the best place for sure! The staff is always friendly. The food is amazing! I miss going there all the time now that i don't go home often. And to Jonathon you must be mistaken, they steakhouse has some of the best alcohol around and they sure don't stiff you on the alcohol you get what you pay for plus some. Just wanted to throw that out there. read more

I've heard about this place for years, after dining there, I'm not sure why. The wait staff was very courteous and quick,( it almost seemed as if they were trying to run as many diners through as quickly as possible). I had the larger NY strip steak meal & my father had the smaller portion. We split appetizers of onion rings & mushrooms. The salad was pedestrian and nothing to brag about. the onion rings were tasty and HOT. the mushrooms were hot as well, but were nothing more than late night bar snack food. Our steaks arrived when we had barely finished our salads and before our appetizers had cooled enough to enjoy. A rushed experience to say the least. My steak was ordered medium & my father's medium/rare. I judged the doneness to be close, while my father wished his to be a bit jucier. the only difference that I could see in my larger cut steak was an extra large chunk of grissle/fat on one end. I could've saved the extra money and had just as large a portion of MEAT as my father's cheaper cut. What really floored me was when they brought my "hash browns". Imagine if you will a double order of McDonald's hash browns, but of lesser quality and not cooked to crispy! Steak house fare? NOT! All in all, a dissappointing experience, especially for the price. $75 w/o tip with no alchoholic beverages. read more

I ordered the 28 oz porterhouse. It was the kind of steak I would expect to get at I HOP, not a steakhouse. It reminded me of the steak I use to get in the chowhall for the Marine Corps Birthday. It wasn't grilled, it was fried on the flat top. It had no flavor. I actually had to use A1...I never use steak sauce. The strip was tough. On a positive note, the fried cheese balls were really good. read more
