A very pleasant experience here on a Wednesday night. I've been coming here for the past 20 years and it is still delivering good quality and service. Our steaks were cooked perfectly to medium, and the sides were also very delicious. The number 12 has always been my favorite steak and chicken tenders with a tasty sauce. The decor feels like it hasn't changed and brings that nostalgic feeling from the younger years. I'm glad I came back to try it and will be coming again soon! read more

It was okay... Decided to try here after passing by it for years. Inside was large with plenty of seating. The menu reminds me of a cafeteria listing. The desserts are already out in plastic take-out containers. I ordered a medium porterhouse steak 13oz. It was okay, not seasoned very well. A bit of gristle and a little tough to cut, very skinny. Not all what I was expecting. The staff seemed apathetic. No explanation of how their system works and what stations to stop at to get drinks/main dishes. The best thing was the price. Very cheap, paid $21.45 read more

Dont think ive ever eaten a steak more dry in my life, almost choked on it trying to swallow it. Very dissapointed read more

American Steakhouse - Steak & fries - American Near Me - Norwalk, Connecticut

Chicken was pretty good. But that's about it. Low quality salad bar and stay away from hot food items

This was a childhood favorite and it continues to be a great place for a cheap price. Remember folks, this isn't a high end steakhouse. It's a family steakhouse with a lot of options for meat lovers! Most importantly, it's affordable and you get a lot of food! Nothing has changed in 30 years and sometimes that's a good thing. I can't have enough of their chocolate mousse, so simple, but there's something about it! This place will always be on my list whenever I visit Norwalk! read more

Everyone is really kind here, very happy people, which makes the atmosphere really welcoming. The only thing I could say that needs work on are the steaks, mine was all fat. It was cooked well, but I think whoever the manager is should possibly get better cuts of meat. (We ordered a ribeye) read more

Been going here for years. I have no complaints. Food is good with fair prices and staff is always friendly and helpful. Won the 2021 turkey raffle!!!! And they didn't skimp out of this giveaway. 18.65lb! Thank you American steakhouse. read more

American Steakhouse - a bag of meat on a stove - American Near Me - Norwalk, Connecticut

This place is a throwback. When you walk in the decor and booths are reminiscent of the old family oriented restaurants that made good food for great prices. We ordered the ribeye and steak and tenders combo. We asked for medium well and got slightly done. But it was delicious! The potato came with tons of butter and once I dropped the sour cream I was in heaven. The tenders are good but come with a sauce that tasted like sweet and sour. The fries were fresh. If you loved Tads Steak come here! Overall a great choice for quick lunch that you don't eat in your car. I would definitely come back. Just wish they made jus because if they did they would be perfect! read more

It ain't Peter Lugars but neither is the price. Juicy tender steak hits the spot just right and at a reasonable price..

Good food, bad service. Salad bar was closed and waitresses will not come up to you and ask you if you would like something. I asked them if I could have butter and they said they would come to my table, I finished my food and they never came. The Waitresses were all rude to every customer. They did not go to anyone's table and it was a very quiet day. Maybe 8-12 people in the restaurant. read more

Service was poor order was mixed up 2 times Poor communication between staff an customer. I would try again since they screwed the order up read more

Can here for the first time 07/02/22 with my girlfriend and the food was good and hot definitely get a lot to eat for your money.

One of the Best Cheeseburgers I ever had in my life. I would rank it just as good as the Cheeseburgers at Gallaghers Steak House in Manhattan, but at a Family Friendly Price. Tim Wilson read more

Don't let the name fool you, this place isn't American and it isn't a Steak House. The place is practically a cafeteria, with the main difference being the prices as much higher than you'd expect from cafeteria food, a small simple sandwich will run you over ten dollars and will likely be worse than something you can find at a Subway restaurant a block away for half the price. While I haven't actually seen the steak here, I passed by it and it looks like something that came out of a freezer, pre-cooked perhaps in a warehouse hundreds of miles away. Seriously, I don't really understand why they put the word "steak house" in the name with all things considered, sure its catchier than their previous two names Bonanza and a Family Affair but its incredibly misleading. You'd think with their high prices, they'd at least have a decent staff, right? well, their staff is probably worse than whatever you'd find at the shadiest McDonald's. I'd have to repeat the name of my order several times and even then they'd find some way to get something minor like the soda wrong. Not to say they don't work hard because they put a lot into the food preparation but I feel like for the price I'm paying for my food, American Steakhouse should at least hire workers that can understand enough english to take my order. The food itself, like something you'd find out of a cafeteria, was fairly inoffensive but nothing memorable or distinct. For the amount of money you are paying, you deserve better. The place advertises heavily on low-budget local cable channels such as News 12 with a theme song that seems straight out of the '80s and a video game caliber 3D animated mechanical bull that throws a basketball into a hoop. This commercial almost is "so bad its good" and its perhaps the only thing the location has going for it, luckily you can at least hear the theme song in all its cheesy glory on the website for the place, you'd probably enjoy it more than anything they have at the place... read more

The name of this place is pretty misleading. I wouldn't really call it a steakhouse I would call it more a cafeteria that sell steak. The prices are so cheap that it makes it worth if you're looking for a very basic meal. The place gets pretty packed and the salad bar gets refilled constantly so you know the food is fresh So if you're looking for a cheap place to have a basic steak and large salad bar I would try this place read more

I've been to this steakhouse since I was a kid. Now that I am an adult I came back to this steakhouse. Well the burger wasn't as flavorful as I remembered. It was bland and not much too it. The atmosphere and decoration is the same as I remembered. It's an okay steak house but overall I came for the memories and to try out the food again. They do have weekday specials which is nice and they do accept credit and debit cards. They have a buffet style salad bar which is nice. I would recommend to come if you've never been or have childhood memories here. read more

The steak and ribs were well cooked & tasted great. The service could be improved. The seating areas and buffet bar are outdated, poorly kept, and dirty. Also, they don't make anything from the grill after 4pm. When I asked about it, they pointed to a sign. Not very satisfied with this visit. 2.5. read more

I love Americansteak house They have very good steaks Too many options to eat and reasonable prices too. read more

This place is ghetto fabulous! Big cheap steaks and a cheapo salad bar! It's a great place if you think Sizzler's is fancy. No shirt? No Shoes? Come on in! read more

Years ago back in the early 90's time period, when I was living in Norwalk, this steakhouse was my place to be with friends, family,e.t.c.. Good steak and fries combo with endless shrimp basket,e.t.c....As I made my return to this place not so long ago when I visited Norwalk, the quality of the food and the place in general has went down south to hell......The chicken soup broth is watery with no taste, my fries was cold, not even well cooked and my steak was so rubbery that I needed to dig in deep to cut my steak (Should of brought a saw or something). As a conclusion, this is not even a restaurant that I once remembered years ago, but more like a cheap cafeteria with the worst customer service that can't even speak English well...Trash restaurant in the highest order!! read more

I went to the American Steakhouse for the 1st time yesterday after passing it on Conn. Ave. hundreds of times. A good friend of mine who frequents AS invited me to go & I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. I ordered Sirloin Tips, (requested-medium rare) with the included side order, in this case baked potato. The food was very good as the tips were tender, juicy & cooked as requested. The baked potato was also tasty as was the accompanying garlic bread. The portion size was adequate. What was really tasty were the potato and macaroni salads from the included buffet and the rice was also well prepared. Note that this is a "cafeteria-style" restaurant without much ambiance but in all fairness AS does promote the restaurant as a casual family style/oriented place. Also note that my companion's order, steak tips, was not cooked to the desired level, medium-well, he requested and the person in charge gladly and quickly rectified the problem which indicated good customer service--very important to me. Overall AS was clean, the staff attentive, the prices fair and the food good tasting. My only complaint & I know this sounds ridiculous is that I wish they had a brand name ketchup available instead of the one (generic?) they have available. I will definitely repeat. P,S, believe me when I tell you, a review of a food establishment coming from me like this is rare as I am extremely conscious of the goings on in a restaurant & am quick to criticize for what I see as many restaurants simply ripping us off. Congrads AS! you won me over--not an easy task. read more

Good steak and potatoes kinda place! Nothing fancy. Not a place you would go to on your first date or fiftieth anniversary. Just a Good juicy steak dinner at a reasonable cost. Very casual. I like going here because it reminds me of dining at Tads Steakhouse back in the day at Herald Square. Circa 1984ish .The good Ole days. I call it Tads 2.0 but this place has more options with the salad bar. Wanna a quick bite to eat but want to ditch the fast food this is the place to go. read more

I found this place charming. It has the best ribs I have ever had. I loved the salad bar, the baked potato was so moist, and the people were very friendly. I had great Texas toast, and really enjoyed the beans. Great place to go when you are hungry and with family or friends. read more

Low budget steak place. Not the best quality but it hits the spot in an emergency. I don't come that often. It can get busy on the weekends. Very convenient parking lot. read more

A real poor location for food. Salty, poor service, the waitress dropped our plates in front us.

I love their fried shrimp and garlic bread, perfect place for a family dinner

Okay, let me start off with the food. The food, and excuse me for the language, was absolute shit. It tasted so bland and fucking horrible, like rubber or something, and I don't fucking recommend the shitty sirloin with peppers and onions. The service was so fucking shit, the people there didn't assist us at all, it was like they were there only for their damn paychecks and didn't care about anything else. It's almost like they were getting paid to be shit at their job it was so bad. Goddamn, it was horrible, I would stay the fuck away from it, and even though I'm just visiting Norwalk and know nothing about the town, it's fucking horrible, that's what I know. read more

Went to this restaurant... walked in.. no hostess to greet you and waited a few minutes... then decided to try to seat myself but stepped on something greenish gray and slimy on the rug near the entrance and front desk. I will assume it was something regurgitated and left on the floor as a warning to not eat here. ... I think... luckily since no one came to offer a table or assistance... and I walked around and made eye contact with several employees, I decided they were basically telling me to not eat here. I guess the staff just didn't want to clean up more rug related issues. I gave 1 thankful star to the staff for protecting me from eating that food. This isn't drive thru food... this is drive past food.... read more

This was truly one of the worst meals I have ever had. Just gross. The salad bar was lame, food was cold and barely cooked. Simply horrific.

The only thing American about this place is that any American can afford it. I used to end up at this place with an ex-girlfriend's family, and while I enjoyed their company, the restaurant we ate in was a dump. It's a buffet style place, but most of the food looks like it has been sitting there for days. The lettuce had chunks of brown in it and the corn on a cob was dry as a bone almost like you would expect a corn to look if it were sitting out in the sun all day. Some of the people you see here are scary as well. I wonder if they say that about me too. :-) It's never nice to bash a place, but when you go out and spend our hard earned money, you expect better than this every time. read more

i ordered a number 4, it was horrible the only bright side was the fries it was some pretty decent fries wouldn't eat it very day though. My burger was the most depressing i don't know if it would make a difference it u put any cheese, but might it might have made it decent. I couldn't taste any flavor because the burger patty was full of grease, i was very disappointed with my meal. I also got a piece of cherry pie it was horrible, the cherry part tastes like if that pie was sitting there for at-least a month. The water was the only thing that didn't go wrong in my meal it literally hydrated me from the burger and the cherry pie ( both of them where dry btw). My other all opinion is to go spend your money else where. read more

This was a very interesting experience. The place looks pretty ok from the outside Not quite what I was expecting. Meat was sad, salad-bar disgusting. Kids running around, staff not friendly at all. Avoid at all cost. Got to Subway. read more

Save your money and go elsewhere. I asked for a medium well steak and I got a hard overcooked steak instead, garlic bread was almost burnt, baked potato was dry, salad bar is disgusting. Asked to speak to manager for a credit or refund and all he did was put the phone down and disregard m read more

I Remember coming to American Steak House when I was a Bit Younger they have Great Food if you want something Fast and Easy American Steak House is the Place to go they have Great Steaks If you Want to add some Flavor to them add a bit of A-1 Sauce to it really good read more

My family took me to this place for dinner last month while I was in town and I have to say I was surprised. The food was so so good we were all talking about it still the next day. My favorite was the porterhouse steak I had, it was done to perfection just the way I like it. So I come on here to leave a review and I see all the negative reviews and I'm surprised. I don't know how the food was before because it was my first time the other night but I was pleasently surprised with my steak. I do recommend this to families that don't want to break their wallets. Very affordable. read more

So we went around noon time everything was so fresh I had the best meal I had at this place I was truly happy walking out. I will continue to spend my money here. The steak was on point salad bar was looking inviting even the rice at the hot bar was actually really good and hot my go to time is 1200 read more

Family friendly, great value. Great option for a hearty meal. Salad bar options are great for an appetizer before your main course

Better than I was expecting. Was always nervous to eat here because of other reviews and a few Norwalk natives who told me to stay away. I am glad I went in. Was pleasantly surprised with my chicken tender/rib combo. Came with a side of fries (crispy and tasty) and probably the best sweet and sour sauce I've ever had. You can purchase slices of pies and cakes or an ear of corn to go with your meal but it comes with a free salad bar/light sides. The service was friendly and always someone in sight if you need extra help or assistance. The salad bar was great. The lettuce was fresh and crunchy and the toppings were what you would expect from a salad bar. Cucumbers, tomato, onion, olives, hot peppers, croutons, beans, cheese, ham cubes, bacon bits, and so on. There is also a variety of pasta salads and potato salads. There are some sides and a make your own nachos bar. The Spanish rice was prepared well. There is a little dessert section with some jello and pudding. There is plain pasta with butter and I put some liquid gold on it and made decadent mac and cheese. Everything looked fresh nothing gross or that I purposely avoided. Only cons were no free refills on the drinks. Husband ordered fried shrimp and ribs. Fried shrimp is a greasy food but none the less tasty. I might not become a regular but this is definitely an option if you want to sit down for a quick dinner or just to try something different. Would visit again at least for the salad bar! read more
