Tips for Old Homestead Steakhouse

best prime ribs in own. Every steak house has its forte--and the featured cut here is the Prime Rib, which is cut into a slab thick enough to support an apartment building, and runs clear with delicious juices--the medium rare cut a slice of heaven. The chopped salad is outstanding, and the lobsters rivalk what they serve up at S and W and the Palm. Often overlooked, this old standby still can do they job.

Size isn't everything. The only thing you get at this place is the biggest steak you've ever seen and a few days shaved off your life. People that think this place is the best obviously haven't been to any of the top steakhouses (Luger's, Morton's and Sparks). The steaks here are monstrous, but that isn't enough to substitute for the lack of flavor or the poor cuts. Save your money and spend the dough and the calories in a proper steakhouse. And the steaks in those places are huge anyway. So there's really no reason to come here unless you're looking to fatten up before you head for hogs and heifers.

Good Steak, but I'd go elsewhere. Their steak is good, but it's not the best in NYC; it's of very good quality, but it didn't have US Prime properly dry-aged characteristics. However, prices are prime. The steak was cooked exactly as I specified (black and blue) but it lacked flavor. I've had better steaks at the Chicago Chop House, River Palm Terrace (NJ), Bobby Vans, Luger's, Keens, M. Jordan's, Gallagher's, ... Their wine list is narrow and slightly overpriced. Appetizers are pricey, but good. Cooking and environment shouldn't make The Old Homestead the best steakhouse in NYC. People must question themselves on what to look for in steak before claiming such a place has the "best" steak. I give them credit for being in business for so many years, but I'd much rather spend my hard-earned money at any of the aforementioned places before I go back to the Old Homestead.

Oldest, & still one of the best. Huge beefsteak tomatoes for appetizer, filet for main course- both excellent! Seated right away, nice service...
