My friends and I were visiting from out of town and this place was recommended. We were more than impressed by the atmosphere and ambiance as much as the food and service (which were both impeccable). It was packed on a Monday night if that says anything to you. This is definitely the place to go for steaks. read more

I had never been to Ashtabula and the only reason we stopped here was because of the Beach Glass Festival. We were visiting the various vendors then decided we were hungry. This place has a lot of character! The wallpaper made me smile:). We ordered the calamari and pierogi appetizers and they were both very good. I ordered the Turkey sandwich and my husband had the steak sandwich. I enjoyed my Turkey sandwich and the fries were very good. My husband wound up eating half of my sandwich because the steak sandwich just was not good. There were spices on it that my husband and I just did not like, and the bread was hard to chew. Everything else was very good, so this sandwich was disappointing. Our server was friendly and took care of us despite the busyness of the festival. I'm glad we stopped here and if we're ever back in Ashtabula, we will try it again, but won't get the steak sandwich. read more

Stopped in for dinner on a Wednesday evening, we did not have a reservation, but they were able to seat us promptly. The decor is that of a former small town meat market with modern lighting and decorative finishes. The staff was friendly, courteous, and willing to chat about recommendations as well as the history of the meat market. we both ordered a glass of red wine which was served promptly. I ordered a ribeye steak, and my wife ordered a strip steak. The orders took about forty minutes to be served but both entrees were delicious and prepared as ordered, clearly the best meal we have had in some time. My wife ordered thin onion rings as a side which were the best of the sides we tried. Our waitress also suggested we try several other restaurants within the bridge area. Our dining experience was excellent. read more

We had a memorable meal here at this historic meat market from the 1800's. We had brunch, homemade pierogies, and short rib hash. We loved the historic building and location. My husband enjoyed a bloody Mary with a mix made from scratch. My pierogies were the best I've had in Ohio where it seems they serve them every Farm-to-table with a wonderful view of historic downtown Ashtabula. read more

Great restaurant, Great location and great atmosphere! We are full-time RVers and always rely on yelp as most of you here do. Cute little old town, full of life on Lake Erie at Ashtabula Harbor. This place was a meat market that opened up in the late 1800's and still has a lot of the original wood work and floors.. very cool! I ordered a Bloody Mary to start and they had house made Bloody Mary mix and it was delicious! Just the right amount of spices and heat and it came with Tito's.. bonus! My wife order the house made pierogis and I went with the short rib hash. I don't think we could have ordered anything better. Every thing was phenomenal and service was on par with all described! Friendly, clean and we most certainly will be back at some point during our trip. read more

We had the flat iron and hanger steaks, the fried shishito peppers, calamari, and finished with espresso and Italian affogato. Do your own research, spend a little money, try for yourself, but probably one of the best restaurants we've ever been to. read more

We were in the area for a swim competition and wanted to try a local steakhouse for our carnivorous swimmer. Our daughter had a ramen which she said was delicious. My husband had the smaller filet with a side of wild mushrooms which he said was cooked to perfection. I had the beef stroganoff which was heavenly. The sous vide short rib was like butter and so tender. The homemade pasta, mushrooms and cream sauce were divine. Our T-Rex had the 12oz filet and a double serving of fries. The filet was buttery tender as well, cooked to medium rare perfection and the fries were absolutely delicious! If you around Ashtabula and want the tastiest meal you've had in a long time, visit Rennick Meat Market! read more

One of the best meals I've had in years. Flathead steak was perfect. Brown butter crumble was a perfect desert. And the service was top notch. read more

Arrived at 6:15pm ordered appetizer and drinks. Waitress got my wife's wine immediately I never received my drink after 30+ minutes I just canceled the order. $50 steak was so salty almost inedible. With other restaurants in the harbor I wouldn't waste my money here. read more

Just had lunch there while walking the Beach Glass show. The service was great, and it's very cute inside. My husband had the fish and chips--loved it. I had Cesar salad with shrimp but opted for the house ranch dressing--so good! We really enjoyed our lunch! read more

I rarely post negative reviews, but I feel this one is warranted. My family has dined at Rennick at least once or twice a year for more than ten years. Their food used to be outstanding. The last few years haven't been as good, but we decided to try again. We went in early June for my mom's 85th birthday. All four of us ordered filet mignon. Three of four had gristle and were tough. Our waitress was awesome and sent over the owner. He told us that the chef hand cuts all the meat and he would talk to her. He never came back to our table and he never apologized. We ordered a couple of pieces of cheese cake for my mom's birthday, which the owner comped. When we walked out, he glanced at me from his laptop and gave me a lame apology. I appreciate the free deserts, but his lack of professionalism is sad! We found out that the chef that night was his wife! They can't be truly successful without a front of house person who knows how to handle customers!!!!! read more

If you're looking for a restaurant with a focus on personal attention, Rennick's in your place. The food and service is 1st rate and first class as is the presentation and quality of food. And if you're lucky enough to have Madelyn, you're in good hands. Ambiance is perfect within the harbor area of Ashtabula. Lovely. read more

Food was absolutely amazing and the service was perfect. My wife had the steak and I followed recommendations of friends to try the beef stroganoff. Both were perfect and the atmosphere was just what we wanted after a busy work week. read more

Do yourself a favor.....get the hanger steak! This steak was so tender and flavorful that I didn't need a drop of the sauce that came with it. The salad was just average that started off our meal. The cocktail list didn't light my taste buds on fire either. The restaurant is accommodating to kids too though. Our little ones in the party got a full fledged steak dinner and dessert for such a reasonable price. The server made sure that the kiddos were served first so that they didn't get impatient. The vibe of the place is laid back. You won't be upset about the meat choices! read more

Local restaurant serving amazing brunch and dinner options. I was in town for Sunday and went to Rennick for brunch. I had a very delicious Egg Benedict with salmon. The staff were very attentive with the customer. A very comfortable atmosphere in the restaurant with very artistic decor. Since I had a very good brunch experience, I went back for dinner on the same day. I had the best ribeye steak in my life at this restaurant. Very amazing restaurant. I recommend anyone visiting this town should drop by Rennick for meals. read more

Found this place on Yelp while on a weekend getaway for my birthday. I wanted a good steak for dinner and thought this place would be perfect. The restaurant itself is beautiful inside while it doesn't look like much from the outside. We were seated in a room with cows all over the walls, but it was surprisingly tastefully done. It made you feel like you were dinning in an old farmhouse. Our waiter was friendly and went over the specials with us. We started out with drinks, I ordered greygoose with cranberry and my boyfriend went with a Stella. Our waiter brought out some bread with oil that was very good. I decided to go with the Dry Aged New York Strip with red smashed potatoes and macaroni and cheese. My steak was one of the best that I've had. Cooked to perfection and flavorful. The sides were good but really nothing special about them. My boyfriend ordered the Filet Mignon with asparagus and the red smashed potatoes. He really enjoyed his steak as well. So you might wonder why I rated 4 stars instead of 5. Unfortunately there were a few insects flying around our table while we were trying to eat. We were literally swatting them out of our faces. One ended up landing in my boyfriend's beer. If it weren't for the whole bug experience I would have given 5 stars. read more

Oh my goodness! This is a must!!! A group of friends and I went here and I just had a burger and fries- amazing! My friend Brady and I went back again a few weeks later as she has the BEST beef stroganoff of her lifetime. Since she tensed about it- I thought... I'll get the same. Wow... WOW was that awesome!!! This is going to become my local regular stop for a Saturday night out and about. Great job- and the service was attentive and quick! read more

Arguably one of the best restaurants for steaks and many other items. Skip the big city food scene because Rennicks beats them all in this small lake town. read more

Oi, it's lunch time, and it's time for meat! I mean, what more did I need to say? Apparently a bit, because short and sweet doesn't meet Yelp's minimum character count, lol. read more

Delicious and the waiter was so kind and helpful. Loved the whole ambiance! The burger may be the best one I've ever had.

Oh man where do I begin!? 1st off they have a 6 page whiskey list. AN ACTUAL WHISKEY LIST! This was a pleasant surprise. 2nd, they make almost everything in house. Desserts, pasta, sauces, pierogies, meatballs, etc are all made on premise. The food is as incredible as you could imagine and the service is equally impressive. If you've never been here it's definitely worth the trip. This was our first time but definitely not our last! read more

We visit Geneva on the Lake 1-2x a year. We often drive into Ashtabula for a supper. We finally got to Rennick's. It was top- notch - service and food. I had the day's version of an old fashioned. Excellent. I got the hanger steak which was perfectly cooked (rare and exterior charred a bit). The accompaniments were also perfect. My wife got the steakhouse burger and said it was one of the best burgers ever. The servers were just wonderful helping to make it a great evening. Highly recommended. read more

This was our first time to the Rennick Meat Market and I have to say we were so very pleasantly surprised. It's located on a quaint street in downtown Ashtabula and you can tell the owners are proud of the history of the Meat Market & the building. We had the stuffed mushrooms & meatballs as an appetizer and both were well prepared and flavorful. Entrees come with 2 sides - we all chose salads and those were also a great choice. All entrees that were ordered (3) different steaks, were prepared absolutely perfectly. Seasonings, preparation, presentation, all were perfect. Honestly one of the best meals we've experienced in a while. Definitely recommend and definitely will be back! read more

This place really is hit or miss any more. It used to be consistently good. Last nights meal was disappointing. I ordered the 24oz Porterhouse for $70.00. It was tough, dry and very salty. It was cooked appropriately as orderat medium rare. The sides were Mac and cheese which is good and hard to mess up. The broccoli a little less done than al dente and barely warm. The whiskey selection was good. read more

Excellent! This has to be the best restaurant in Northeast Ohio. It's located in the beautiful harbor area of Ashtabula. I highly recommend renting one of the beautiful new condos on AirBnb down the street for the weekend and walking over to this little gem of a place and experience what first class is meant to be. They have the best bartender that not only makes the greatest drinks but also is one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. He filled us in on the history of the place and made us feel special. His attention to detail and knowledge on the art of bartending is impeccable. We ordered a "must have" pita and hummus to start off with along with a Mezcal Margarita and an Old fashioned that were incredible. The dish that made me go crazy was the beef stroganoff. They sous vide the beef then finish it off on a cast iron skillet. This gives it an extremely buttery tender inside with a slight crisp outside seasoned to perfection along with fresh homemade pappardelle pasta in a mushroom cream sauce. Hats off to this genius chef and staff. I wish I had saved room for dessert. I will definitely be back the next time I'm in Ohio. read more

Five stars BEFORE the food! Seriously, the character is dripping in this place. Historically an old meat market with the meat hooks, tile floor and huge ice chest intact (now the main dining room), it's a must visit on rare ambiance alone. Then...the food! We had the pierogis for an app and split the flat iron steak meal with smashed potatoes and asparagus. Everything was cooked to perfection. The server was fabulous and even poured me an extra glass of wine for waiting a bit on the entree (which I didn't even mind!). It's a hidden gem and must go! read more

The food and service here and equally incredible! This is our favorite place to dine!

Rennick's has been a 'Go To' for us for man years. We learned about it from a friend and have enjoyed many fine evenings and meals there. Have left glowing reviews for them. Sadly, the last 2 times we've been there have been so disappointing we really might not be back. Drinks Past: Drinks were tremendous. The Manhattan was sublime. Ice stirred to chill everything to just the right temp. Charred orange for the aromatic snap as you lift the drink to your face Lately: Warm and overly vermouthed Service Past: Service was spot on. prompt, polite, wonderful. Lately: A server, not ours, actually came to us on her own because she saw ours was nowhere to be seen. It was so slow to get anything Food - the saddest Past: Perfect, which is why we love(d) going there Lately: Last two times they have poured so much salt on their food that I thought I was licking I90 in February. They salted a salad to the point of being inedible. Why?? We had a party of four. Every person's dishes was too salty. Pork, Hanger, Pichanha, Stroganoff. Old meat and cover with salt? No one tasting? Forgetting to season before.during cooking and trying to make up at end? Recommendation? Past: Wholeheartedly Lately: No Anyway, I think it's time to find a new 'go to'. Sad. read more

So........I had been talking this place up for months now to my co workers, friends and family and now I wish I hadn't. First time I was there the food was amazing the charred flavoring on top of my steak was delicious , the sauces were delicious and the waitress was nice. This time around the food was decent. No charring on the top of the steak. The sauces seemed on the generic side. The broccoli was super hard. The waitress was not good at her job. She didn't ask us if we wanted anything to drink until after we were almost done with our meal. The couple who sat down next to us , after us got her salad. My sister had to ask for her salad about 10 minutes after that. The ambiance was good. DEFINITELY NOT WORTH THE $50 A PLATE!!! Go to Roadhouse or Outback or anywhere else for that matter. read more

We traveled to Ashtabula recently for a wine festival and after a day of tours, we meandered into this lovely restaurant. The building is what used to be a butcher shop in the 1800s. It has been redesigned into a really classy establishment with modern touches mixed in with the building's history. I loved the meat hooks hanging from the ceiling and the articles about the building on the walls. One thing that was a little less delightful was the entrance. It offered no barrier to the cold air outside and anytime someone came in, there was a major draft of very cold air and I just couldn't get warm throughout the meal. I would recommend wearing a lot of warm clothing if you're going in the winter time. The service is fantastic. Our server was very knowledgeable about the menu items and was quick to answer our inquiries. They also had bartenders at the bar who were skilled at cocktail making and really made it entertaining. The food was really lovely. I had a delicious flatiron steak with some mashed potatoes and green beans. The steak was delectable in every way as were the mashed potatoes. The green beans were not my favorite. They were slathered in olive oil and onions and just weren't my cup of tea. I was also a little perturbed by the fact that the steak came out a good 5-10 minutes before the sides were brought out. All of that being said, it didn't ruin my experience and I would definitely come here again if I'm ever in the area and I would recommend it to anyone else who is looking for a good meal at a very decent price. For two very nice steaks with 2 sides each and a beer and a glass of wine, our bill was only $80. Check it out! read more

The rest of the reviews are correct: this is a great restaurant! If you are passing through Ashtabula to check out the Harbor while on summer vacation, and you will only be here for one day (which is an appropriate amount of time to fully explore this town), I highly recommend this be the place that you go for dinner. I had the bone-out ribeye, with truffle butter, sweet potato fries and wild mushrooms, with an appetizer of blackened Brussel sprouts. A word on the Brussel sprouts: forget everything you know about Brussel sprouts, first of all. The bitter, boiled or steamed sprouts from your childhood, these are not. Rather, they are sautéed in a pan, until they are crispy and slightly charred on the outside. This is the ONLY way to eat sprouts. In fact, this is the way I prepare them at home... only way better. And I'm pretty good at making Brussel sprouts. The steak was fantastic. Makes the top three list of steaks I've had at a restaurant in my lifetime. Service was great too. I ordered a beer that ended up NOT being something I wanted to drink, and they let me send it back without charging. Maybe I'm easy to impress, but I appreciated it. So, yeah, believe the hype. Rennick's compares well to restaurants the world over, and is in a class of its own for this town. read more

One of the best restaurants in northeast Ohio! Definitely try the Old Fashion with the hanger steak.

Great steaks, even the spaghetti is excellent. Great staffing most of the time. Old meat market conversion takes you back in time.
