    I had a fantastic night at Steak 38! First off, don't judge a book by its cover--the outside sits right next to a motel, which isn't exactly glamorous, but once you step inside, it's a whole different story. The interior has this old-school Rat Pack vibe that makes you feel like you should be sipping martinis in a tux. I started with the fried zucchini and marinara sauce--crispy, flavorful, and basically begging to be eaten by the dozen. The house bread with seasoned butter? Dangerous. I could have made a meal out of that alone. For my entrée, I had the ribeye steak, medium rare, cooked perfectly, with mashed potatoes and green beans that were classic and comforting. The flavors were solid, the portions generous, and every bite hit that sweet spot of "just got paid its Friday night." And then there was the Aviation cocktail--phenomenal. Balanced, smooth, and dangerously easy to drink. Service was friendly and attentive, without hovering like a bad date. Overall, Steak 38 is a little hidden gem: ignore the motel, follow the bread crumbs inside, and you'll find yourself having a meal that's old-school classy, delicious, and just the right amount of fun.

    Prime rib, medium

    Had been given a gift certificate for a celebration so I was looking forward to the evening. My dining partner and I shared a few dishes. Enjoyed the table side bread and roasted green peppers. Lobster bisque was tasty although very thin. Not what I expected. Calamari was good although a bit overdone. I had prime rib, ordered medium. It came out a bit more done than what I expected although to be honest, the restaurant was is very dimly lit. Green beans were delicious, mashed potatoes were ok. We shared NY cheese cake which was fine. Please be aware that the actual price is higher than the online menu. The online menu lists the prime rib as $39 but currently is $49. Parking is sketchy. There is a parking valet available. He waved me through and told me to find parking at the motel. The Tesla behind me got the preferential treatment.

    Butter Cake

    I've been driving past this place for years, and last night the plan was to go to Fleming's for Tomahawk Tuesday for a date night. But a last minute change landed us here, and will probably become a regular thing. The complimentary valet was definitely a plus in this cold weather, although I wanted him to come inside. The weather was biting. Upon walking in, we were greeted and sat immediately. It's a dimly lit, intimate space and appeared to be great for family outings or a simple date night. The wine and bourbon selection reeled me in, but the prime rib made me a fan! It was soooo tender and delicious. The table side Caesar salad was definitely an experience. I can't say that I've been somewhere and watched them make authentic Caesar dressing in front of me. That butter cake was the perfect end to a great meal and I can't even remember the last time I actually finished or even ordered a dessert. This was absolutely worth it. If you're looking for quality steak, nice ambiance, and intimate atmosphere for your next night out, I recommend stopping in. It'll probably become your go to as it's surely going to become ours.

    Traditional steak place for the fancy date night Came here as a date night option with the girlfriend. She really enjoyed the table side service and everything but the steaks and wanted to share that with me. Parking was...not the greatest. It's a small place that shares its parking with a little motel. If there's no valet, parking is "at your own risk". The service was a little lackluster from our server. She had a lot of backup from the rest of the staff though, who would fix the mistakes right after she would make them. We got the table side Caesar salad, which they make in front of you. A good Caesar dressing made fresh is a rarity now-a-days, and was a treat. We got her favorite dish, the mussels italiano. Lots of meaty mussels in a very rich but not too oily sauce. The only detractor was the table bread was overly dense and not a good broth vessel. We skipped the entree and went for the other table service they offer - bananas foster. They came over with a cart, got the butter nice and bubbly, added brown sugar, then some rum on a nice flambé. It's fun to watch, and who doesn't like burned dark rum bananas with butter over ice cream?! The ice cream was a little icy with little vanilla flavor, but it's all about the topping on that one (the boozy butter bananas). Put that on top of some French toast with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and you got a good brunch item. I give it a 4 because although this is a great place for a date night, the price is appropriate for a steak place. It's not cheap, and it's good to try once but there's little to keep one coming back. Once you get the shows, there's very little variance to the menu and not much else to look forward to. That topped with the hiccups in our experience that night a less than 5 star affair. But it's still good, and a nice spot to celebrate with others. Be prepared for a pricy meal, but also expect a different level of experience versus your standard dining spaces.

    goat cheese crostini
    Kim C.

    I went for the happy hour food and would go back. The goat cheese crostini was my favorite it is almost like a sweet bruschetta with nuts on top. The prime rib egg rolls were juicy and had the best sauce ever. I am a big calamari girl and the calamari was great but just so you can recognize how good the other two foods were, it was not as big as a highlight compared to teh crostini and prime rib egg rolls. I got a cosmo. This is going to be a horrible view especially since I went during happy hour- but it was painfully strong. I couldn't finish it

    Happy Hour drinks

    On a recommendation of a friend and after reading the reviews, I was really excited to go here. We had driven past here literally 100s of times on our way to and from our kids practice and had overlooked the restaurant on a very busy intersection with no windows attached (sort of) to a motel. I actually think this added to the experience. It feels like a hidden gem. The Caesar salad made table side lived up to the hype as did the filet and banana foster. Great place for a special occasion.

    Wonderful dining experience from beginning to end. Starting with complimentary valet - that was friendly, professional, and attentive. Upon entry i was greeted right at the door, it was much darker inside then I would have expected, that might be difficult for some to read the menu. But very intimate dining in smaller rooms so you never feel overwhelmed. I had the mussels and a filet. Both beautifully executed both in skill and flavor. Will definitely be back. Highly recommend for an intimate date night or celebration. Personally I just enjoyed the good meal!!

    Best steak ever!

    Came here for our Anniversary, and we had The best meal and best experience we've ever had dining out..Food was the " Bomb" and I drove back the next day to get 2 more slices of carrot cake.. and perfect med rare..

    Watermelon lemon drop martini

    The food was delicious. The drinks were strong but tasty. The banana foster table show was amazing. The outside does not compare to the inside ambiance. The service was good the were friendly and accommodating. You have to make a reservation because they fill up fast

    Steve J.

    Still the same reaction from my original post... Wow. We came for happy hour and sat at the bar. Dawn and Robbie were amazing bartenders. Happy hour had great drink prices and great apps that you can need at the bar. And the drinks are drinks, not watered down one bit! We then had dinner at the bar as well. And the steaks are still top notch. I had a ribeye marinated and soy with a pineapple salsa on top, basically it was a teriyaki steak. But on another level it was so tender and so good! The crab cakes as always are huge and delicious with barely any filler just all crab. The calamari with hot peppers next level... Make sure you save room for dessert because the butter cake with the salted caramel sauce is unreal. And there's not enough words to describe the interior. Reminds me of my Italian Grandpa's basement, with Frank Sinatra playing!

    Surf and Turf
    Domonique G.

    My friend & I traveled from Maryland to visit Steak 38 for her birthday. I ordered the ribeye 16 oz with a side piece (similar to a side car but strawberry is used in place of orange). My friend ordered the surf & turf with the Lady Elena as her drink. We also got an extra side of creamed spinach. For dessert, we chose the vanilla buttercake a la mode. We enjoyed our meal and the atmosphere. Pete was our waiter. He was nice and helpful by making suggestions. The owner also came and spoke to us! It was a great night and experience. Thank you.

    Came here with a friend for a belated birthday early dinner. I was kind of surprised by the fact that it was attached to a motel. From the outside it looks a little weird. Also, the website had a dress code but when we arrived everyone was dressed super casually. When you enter inside, it has a nice intimate and quaint vibe. The hostess was warm and friendly. When we sat down we were given bread, garlic butter and green peppers. Our servers Pete and Joe were really nice and professional. For my entree, I had 16 oz Ribeye. It was seasoned really well cooked perfectly. The mash potatoes and string beans were great sides. The roasted duck was tender and flavorful. When I booked the reservation, I put the occasion as birthday. I didn't even have to tell Pete about bringing a dessert. He already brought one out with a candle after Joe took our plates. I really appreciated that. The dessert was tiramisu. I don't normally like tiramisu but this one was moist and wasn't overly coffee flavored. I enjoyed my experience here overall.

    Carrot Cake

    We are new to the Philly/Cherry Hill area, so we asked around for anniversary dinner recommendations...Steak 38 did not disappoint! From the moment we sat down with Dawn at the bar, we realized what a special place, Steak 38 is. It would remind you of a throwback, speakeasy type of spot, as it's dark and lively inside. Dawn was so pleasant and welcoming and had great cocktail and wine suggestions. Of course, we had to have our obligatory pre-dinner martinis, which were large and made perfectly. We looked over the wine menu while sitting at the bar. It's not a large list, as you'd expect with a steakhouse, however, it has every varietal you could want, including some big California names. The prices are VERY reasonable, and if you have a question, Dawn can assist. The bottle we picked was excellent, and when we asked to have it decanted, they were happy to do it. Speaking of our table, we we sat in the Sinatra room, which cracked us up, as it's so Jersey, which we LOVED. Pictures of Frank and the gang on all the TVs, with dark curtains and lights hanging all around. It was romantic, as the tables are not on top of one another, so you feel relaxed. Samantha was our server, and she was fantastic! She was very efficient, yet not pushy and well-versed on the menu and dishes, making suggestions, which we appreciated as this was our first time here. We started with the table side Cesar salad, where you have a say in what goes into the salad, (for us it's yes to anchovies, and not too much parmesan). Miguel was quite the 'mixologist' and prepared it beautifully! It's massive though, so keep that in mind when ordering, as you must order it for two. The lettuce was pre-cut and extremely fresh, and the salad made with the best ingredients. This was well worth the price, trust me, and it is necessary if you're a Cesar salad fan! We then ordered the dry-aged ribeye, bone-in, which we shared as well as creamed spinach. The meal came with mashed potatoes and haricot verts (green beans for those not familiar with the name), which we didn't even realize we were getting. Not a huge fan of the creamed spinach as it had too much parmesan cheese for our liking. The food quality and presentation are exceptional and very well-priced for the level of service. Everything was honestly so well-prepared, and the service staff is on top of every course! They work like a well-oiled machine, coming and going yet not overwhelming you. Samantha brought us a small bottle of champagne, which was on the house, for our anniversary. Such a nice gesture, and we enjoyed it immensely! My husband insisted on the carrot cake for dessert, which we had no room for, but still managed to eat almost half of, lol. It was moist and the cream cheese frosting was not too sweet. The perfect ending to a wonderful anniversary meal! Dawn, Miguel, Samantha and the crew, you made our evening special. Thank you so much! We will certainly be dining with you again! Oh, and before I forget, complimentary valet parking is offered, which I would recommend.

    Is it as good as it used to be?

    Others tell me it's the same. I can attest to the quality, value, and professional waitstaff, bartending, and overall excellence. I've been there times in the past few months.

    Any idea on dress code for this place?

    It is generally casual in the bar area and business casual is appropriate for the restaurant.
