Great old school steak experience!! The salad bar was great and the steak tips were delicious. The service was a little hit or miss, I'd almost prefer just being able to go up and get your own refills of drinks, as it took way too long for them to come around.
Regardless, great old school experience and delicious food. Will be returning!!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - 618789Apr 2, 2024
This place is no joke. It's straight up a legitimately, very good restaurant. I had the York Filets, an iced tea & a slice of cake. With $3 to leave for the server ( you can opt for cash back to leave at the table), the bill came to just over $31. I don't think it was worth that, but it WAS very good. Steak was cooked the way I wanted & was soft & juicy. I chose Steak Fries w/my dinner & roll (which was so-so) & the fries were decent as well. Only downside was the cake, which was DRY, but edible.
The server was acceptable; nothing worth noting. He refilled my tea once. He was available too in case I needed him.
The dining room was clean & presenting. Very nice atmosphere. I had a very nice dinner, & I'm sure you would too. Definitely a go-to, 3-star restaurant. Nice, sit-down, quiet, tasty but not a destination place. Still, it's worth trying.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jan 27, 20241 check-in
Check out their website at https://york-steakhouse.com to learn more on the history and the last surviving York Steakhouse.
We were so excited to have dinner at York Steakhouse! We hadn't been since 2020 and decided tonight was the night to embrace some nostalgia and grab a bite to eat.
The inside is straight out of the 80's, in the now vintage, original interior and design. Seriously like stepping back in time.
We both ordered steaks with baked potatoes and the single pass salad bar. The food was good. Better than I remembered and better than I thought it would be. Everything was fresh and yummy. This would have been. Five star but my steak was undercooked (more medium than medium-well) but everything else was perfect. I ate around the outside and brought the rest home as leftovers and will just microwave it.
Our server, Olivia, was the best! She provided great service. She offered to have the steak tossed back on the grill but didn't really feel this is the kind of place to do that in.
No reason to wait so long between visits and will definitely return.Helpful 16Thanks 2Love this 16Oh no 0 - 23131Mar 7, 2024
York Steak house. Definitely not my first choice for food, but it wasn't bad. I got the steak tips, which came with a baked potato and bread. It was decent, the tips were great but aside from that everything else was eh. The salad was alright too, the service and ambiance was great. Great people, maybe I just go the wrong thing. Worth a try though. 6/10

Still a great place to eat after all these years. It's not a stretch to say that the place is like a time capsule. In fact, I believe it is the last York Steakhouse in the country.

It's still great! Ordered two dinners, the 5 oz Copped Steak Sandwich $4.99, added Steak Fries for $1.99, and a Salad Buffet for $2.59. What a deal. Two Mini Cheesecakes for $1.99 each.
As a tip...get an extra small serving of their Blue Cheese Dressing for dipping your Steak Fries in.
The soda fountain drinks taste off... it's either the ice machine which is what I suspect, or the water. Stay with a bottle drink until it's fixed.
I still really like the food here.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Dec 6, 2020Previous reviewAmazing 8 ounce Chopped Sirloin plate, cooked Medium, large steak fries for me...baked potato for my wife. We both had a delicious salad bowl from the 'served' salad bar, was real good. To end all, we had a piece of pie each...chocolate peanut butter cream pie for me and a coconut cream pie for her. Both were excellent. Can't say enough about the food for the price.

03/11/2024. Right around noon, I ordered the ribeye steak, it was all gristle and fat I didn't find any part of it that I could eat.
My wife ordered the beef tips, I even tried one they were like warm balls or rubber.
They had one waitress for probably 30 guest's. The portions were so small I would have been better off going to McDonald's!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Oct 5, 2023
The only reason this isn't a Ponderosa is because them name isn't and the salad bar is too small. I grew up eating at Ponderosa's in the 70's and even the decorum here is the same. The pictures on the wall at the entrance with the pricing.
They we not busy, and the salad bar was dirty. Can't wait for my two pork chops.....
Service was good. It just wasn't for me.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Nov 17, 2022
Sounds like this is the last York left, and who knows when it will go, so figured I'd better check it out when I was nearby.
It's exactly as I remember York, and really Ponderosa and several other old-school cheapish steak places. Loooong entryway, order at the counter, go to the salad bar, etc. The salad bar is small, included with your meal, though I can't figure out if you can go back up- the sign says something like "One plate, one trip." Does that mean get a new plate each time, or only one trip allowed? Anyway, it was fresh and there are enough options to make a decent salad. Grab a dessert or sour cream nearby, for a bit extra. Muzak version of "California Dreamin'" playing so you know you're in the right place...
Someone carries your tray to your table, which is nice, especially since I was using a cane temporarily. I got steak tips, which come with onions, a roll, and potato (I got baked.) I figured that would be pretty quick. Nope, they took a long time. Lucky I had a salad to stave off hunger. But when the entree came, it was pretty darn good. A decent portion, moist and tender, cooked to the requested medium. Good soft roll, average baked potato. I left full, and I enjoyed the meal.
Prices are reasonable. I had a good meal for $15. Decent choices, with better steak, or burgers, chicken, etc. A few Italian items. Lunch specials. Super good table service.
Make sure you follow the sign around back; big lot, easy access. I'd come again, maybe bring my mom for a nostalgia trip.Helpful 9Thanks 2Love this 10Oh no 1 - Feb 20, 2023
Knowing that this is one of the last York Steakhouse Locations is quite sad, but it seemed like a lot of the community was helping keep this place alive. It is like a cafeteria self serve set up.
Their salad bar was really fresh and delicious. For the main dinner portion I got the beef chuck steak and shrimp dinner, while my boyfriend got their T-bone steak. The steaks were no that impressive and not seasoned much.
Service was great and the lady who took our order was super kind.
Next time if we go back we would like to try their sandwiches and desserts.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0
