The food was amazing as always. My husband got the chopped steak and was suddenly acting like a food critic on TV -- "fabulous" was the official ruling. I got the shrimp cocktail with the sinus-clearing cocktail sauce that could probably reboot your respiratory system, but somehow it's still absolutely delicious every time. Our waitress/bartender B was awesome and apparently moonlights as a mixologist magician. I had the Easy Street -- vodka and elderberry liqueur -- and after two sips I was ready to move into the booth permanently. Super refreshing. The service was immaculate. B even brought out warm bread, which honestly felt like spotting a unicorn at Beef and Bottle because I don't think that's ever happened to me before. I almost asked if we were VIPs. The atmosphere is pure old Charlotte charm -- cozy, classic, and just the right amount of "Rat Pack steakhouse energy." Wonderful dinner, great drinks, excellent service, and enough cocktail sauce to clear my sinuses through allergy season. read more

This is one of our favorite places to dine for special occasions. We went to beef and bottle to celebrate our birthdays. The orders are always accurate, and the food is prepared to perfection. The hostess and weight staff are always very pleasant. The restaurant is dimly lit and the tables close. However, the noise volume is low so you're able to carry on conversations at your table. I started with the seared yellowfin tuna with cucumber, wasabi, and soy sauce. We go out for sushi. I understand that the beef and bottle is primarily a steak restaurant however they serve the best seared yellowfin tuna I've ever had in my entire life!!! I always order the steak medallions. I ordered them medium with red wine butter per the waiters recommendation. They were Excellent. The medallions came with two sides so I ordered the balsamic glazed, brussels sprouts and the onion rings. The brussels sprouts are so good and the onion rings were large with just the right amount of breading. Please make a reservation in advance. I always attempt to make the reservation about 3 weeks in advance to ensure that the day and time that we desire to dine is available. read more

I've come here every valentines weekend with my girlfriends for the last 3 years and this place never fails to charm me. Get a reservation early! This place is Unique; Capital U! It's been around a long time and is super popular. This is where you get your clean traditional style steak dinner. Prices are affordable, service is warm and consistent. These folks will explain specials and key menu items while also winning over your friendship. So many food items are worth it here. I love getting a ribeye. Frog legs are a rarely seen classic. All of the dips are to die for!! This is a great "apps and wine" spot for girls night. Through and through you won't be disappointed. You'll see wood paneling, black and white framed photos, and dim warm lighting that feels vintage and nostalgic. Dining here shows you a peek into some CLT history. *Due to this classic location being long standing there is some uneven flooring between dining rooms--they always make accommodations for any accessibility needs and are very kind about doing so. read more

Beef 'N Bottle - Choice Cut Ribeye and Shrimp Scampi Side: Thick creamy mash potatoes - Steakhouses Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Went for a birthday and this spot was the perfect place for it. Unassuming from the outside you realize it's because their money goes towards their staff and the food. Our waitress was very attentive, informative, and nice. When I ordered the wrong level of steak, they were quick to take it back and cook it a bit longer for me, even though it was 100% my fault. That's the type of service I'd expect from a nice restaurant and it made the experience that much better. Let alone all their drinks which were top notch! Highly highly recommend read more

Beef 'N Bottle - Filet Mignon, Choice Cut Ribeye, Mushrooms, Fried Potato Slices, Baked Potato - Steakhouses Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

You truly can't go wrong with a visit to beef and bottle. This is one of the oldest steakhouses in Charlotte and they have been doing it since 1958. Catering to romantic hearts as well as business travelers, it can be hard to see inside the restaurant because they keep it dimly lit, but once you put the food in your mouth, you won't care what it looks like. It's so good. We always get a steak with crab meat on top and sides. Their sides are large enough to share so if you want to split who's getting what side and share you are definitely encouraged to do that. I would definitely suggest making a reservation as this place books out quick!! They have read more

Old school ambiance! The service was terrific and the food was top shelf all the way.

Made a reservation for our anniversary and stated it was our anniversary on the reservation. We got caught in traffic and I called ahead to say we were running 5 minutes late, was that okay. She made a point on the phone to say "well there's a reservation at 7:10 behind you". We arrive and walk in the door at 6:05. The place is not packed on a Thursday night, plenty of seating and you know where they sat us for our anniversary? By the bathroom and the kitchen. The worst table in the restaurant. The waiter took 10 minutes after we're seated to ask us for drinks. There was only one water glass on the table and the waiter didn't bother to look at the reservation bc he asked "are we celebrating anything?" And just like the universes perfect timing they bussed a booth across from us and placed a "reserved" sign on the table. The food was mid at best. Only thing I would come back for is the cheese spread which I asked to buy and found they don't even make it in house. Brussels were over dressed and cold. My husbands potato wasn't hot enough to melt the cold butter they gave us. Sea bass portions were huge but had no flavor and needed a pan sauce not tarter sauce (gross). For the price and service, I'd rather buy some cheese wiz and saltines before giving this dark and inhospitable place another dime of my money. Also they didn't even acknowledge our anniversary. They don't even pack your leftovers. This "institution" is dead and IMO def leaning racist. read more

Choice Cut Ribeye (4/5): Decent steak but it was too fatty. The fat also didn't translate into the big, beefy flavor I was hoping for. Balsamic Glazed Brussel Sprouts (4/5): Slightly undercooked compared to most brussel sprout dishes I've had. I liked the texture but would've loved some more of the glaze. Fried Cheesy Potato (4/5): Great texture--crunchy outside and soft inside. Almost no flavor though... Couldn't even tell there was cheese in there. I ended up dunking these in ketchup. Onion Rings (4/5): These were fine. The onion was dry and the batter was lacking in crispiness but I just like onion rings. RATING SYSTEM 5 - Great (Need to get this again) 4 - Good (Would get this again) 3 - Ok (Might give this another shot) 2 - Not Good (Won't get this again) 1 - Bad (Telling people to avoid this) read more

A Charlotte classic... assuredly a storied past. This isn't The Capital Grille, so don't expect that. The ambiance is reminiscent of a Wisconsin supper club if a steakhouse. For a Tuesday night, I was amazed the place was packed (no reservations until 830p). The service was good, pleasant, and could have come by with water a bit more. The meat was a hit, but the rest was either disappointing or terrible. The famous salad was the former, and the Brussel Sprouts a huge failure. The mashed potatoes seemed like they'd been made over the weekend and kept warm (they'd gotten quite sticky and thick). Just not a win at all. They key lime pie was a pleasant surprise. With all going on in Charlotte, it's going to be a minute before I make it back to The Bottle. Better luck next time... read more

We celebrated our four-year anniversary here. BEST. DECISION. EVER. They had us set up in the most romantic corner ever. I could finally see what the reviewers mean by "old-school steakhouse." Drinks: Old Fashioned + the best red Cab ever. We ended up buying a bottle. Eats: Creamed spinach 5/5, crab dip 5/5, ribeye 5/5... you see where this is going. Everything was fantastic. Surprisingly, the complimentary cheese and crackers were also a huge hit. The waitress packed us more to go lol. Can't wait to come again! read more

Beef N Bottle is a Charlotte staple. I love everything about this place. It's Charlotte's oldest steakhouse and still brings it every night. The bar is small, but full of character. The star is the shrimp cocktail for me. It is the BEST, hottest most flavorful cocktail sauce in the city. Their steaks are also phenomenal! Still cooked in an old fashioned way that leave it full of flavor! Their desserts are also incredible too. One note, service is amazing, but on Sunday there is no bartender so the servers make the drinks. read more

Thank you Yelpers for the recommendation. Went to Beef 'N Bottle for the first time and absolutely loved it. The place is absolutely charming. I believe the waitress said they been in the same building since 1978. I had the 12 oz ribeye, creamed spinach and baked potato. My wife had the filet and sea bass that was on special. Not only was the ribeye a superb cut and cooked to absolute perfection, the flavor was amazing. I don't know if it was the quality of the beef or the aging or the fact they've been service steaks in that building since 1978 but it was one of the best steaks I've ever had. Not overly seared or seasoned or covered in butter but perfectly charred and natural flavor. Bravo to you Beef N' Bottle. I will definitely be back. read more

Beef 'N Bottle - Steakhouses Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Finally got around to trying this Charlotte staple! Went on a Wednesday evening and it was totally packed. Loved the wall art, lower lighting, and classic vibe. Side note: I love anywhere that has their own matchbooks! To drink, my date had an old fashioned and I had a dirty martini. Both cocktails were perfectly made, and the bleu cheese olives were great. To eat, we started with the escargot. I've had it before, my date had not. He was so surprised that it was as good as it was. Perfectly buttery and melt-in-your-mouth. The bread that accompanied it was wonderful too. For entrees, he had the ribeye with a Caesar and loaded baked potato. I had the filet medallions, one with the horseradish crust and the other with the red wine butter. On the side, I had a Caesar and broccoli. My filet medallions were cooked a perfect medium rare and was some of the best steak I've had. The horseradish was strong - which was to be expected, but keep that in mind! The red wine butter was absolutely delicious. Broccoli was exactly how I like it, steamed, soft, and lightly buttered. Caesar was good too, but the steak was definitely the star. Service throughout was excellent. Despite how busy it was, everything came out relatively quickly. We had the best time and I can't wait to return. read more

Beware if you are dinning with children. We had a 4:00 PM reservation on Saturday, December 6, and were genuinely excited to finally visit after hearing so many wonderful things about the food and ambiance. We were the second group to arrive. The first group--who did not have a reservation--was immediately seated in the main dining room. When it was our turn, we requested a booth but were told that all booths were reserved. The manager quickly informed us that a table had already been assigned for our party in the back room, with little openness to considering alternatives. We were then seated in the back, and for nearly 30 minutes, ours was the only table occupied there. It was difficult not to wonder whether we were placed in the back because we were dining with two young children, especially since we had specifically requested to be seated in the main dining room upon arrival. When we raised this concern, the manager assured us it had nothing to do with the kids and that all booths--and even all tables--were reserved. However, the walk-in party of three was seated in the main room without hesitation, which I unfortunately forgot to point out during our conversation with him. Despite the emphasis on "pre-assigned" tables, the situation still felt inconsistent and no flexibility. We left around 5:30 PM, and there were still open booths and tables available in the main dining room. We truly wanted to love Beef & Bottle. Our server was wonderful, and none of this reflects on him. The food was okay, though we personally felt it was slightly overpriced for the quality. Ultimately, the way the seating situation was handled overshadowed the experience, and we do not plan to return. I also emailed the owner about my issue and got no response. He doesn't seem to care. read more

Everything but the steak was amazing. Sadly, since this is a steakhouse, I can't make up too many stars for the stellar service, delicious sides and appetizers, and great old fashioned. From the outside, you may question going here, but you have to at least give it a try. It's a classic old steakhouse and the inside vibe is as such. I went with some folks for a business dinner and managed to snap a few pics. The lighting wasn't great so I did my best. And for a 5p reservation, the place filled up quick, so they're doing some things right. Our server was amazing. He explained everything and how it works and how he'd guide us through the night. He said he was the bartender as well and the old fashioned's were spot on! I ordered the Filet/Sea Bass special with the traditional salad and their potato cheese cake things. But started out with a shrimp cocktail with house made cocktail sauce with LOTS of horseradish. Yum!!!! I like it when it clears your sinuses, and it really did. The salad was served as a plate of lettuce, another plate with salad fixin's (olives, onions, peppers, radish, etc.) and your house-made dressing of choice. The salad was fresh and delicious. The dinner is where things fell apart. The Sea Bass was good, but it wasn't that melt-in-your-mouth-like-buttah which I've had on occasion. It was a nice piece of fish but it was slightly over, not to the point of it being ruined, but to the point of not being an excellent compliment to the steak. The Filet was overcooked. I ordered medium rare and it was medium in the center but that was like 2 bites. The rest was more medium well and it ate like a piece of meat flavored bubbalicious, where you chew and chew and chew and it just doesn't want to go down. Since it was a business dinner, I didn't pull out my Elite Badge and go into Karen mode. I just finished up and said I was full and it was good. Maybe the larger steak (10 oz) would have been cooked better than the smaller steak in the combo (6 oz). The others at the dinner enjoyed their meals and their appetizers as well. I forgot what they ordered, but 2 out of 3 were satisfied. I'd probably give it another try if I needed to go to a "nice" dinner, but I've had better food throughout the Charlotte area. read more

I have been to Beef and Bottle many years ago and was totally disappointed last night. We got there like 10 minutes before our reservation, there was only 1 couple ahead of us to be seated. Three more couples arrived and the they were all seated before us. Now we are a mixed couple white/Indian. When they finally decide to seat us they put us right next to the rest room. I asked for the booth across the way and I was told that was spoken for. Hmm interesting being the others had reserved signs on them and this one did not. So I asked to be seated elsewhere- in a huff the girl who was seating us went to the front to find another table. She proceeded to put us in what was once a secondary dining area. Well it is more like random tables etc. So I decided it was time to leave. How is it we received a notice that the restaurant cancelled our reservation at 6:01PM. NEVER AGAIN. read more

Another amazing experience at beef n bottle the other night. The service is fabulous, the dimly lit dining room is intimate, and the steak literally melts in your mouth. Can't wait to come up with an excuse to treat myself again here! read more

My friend and I were so excited to finally try Beef 'n Bottle -- we had been looking forward to it for weeks. The atmosphere was cozy and old-school in the best way, and the food definitely lived up to the hype. We were seated about 10 minutes after our reservation with our server Victor, which was fine, but the pacing throughout the night was a little off. Drinks took 15-20 minutes to arrive, and appetizers another 30. That said, everything we ate was fantastic. The French onion soup was absolutely to die for, and my 10oz filet mignon was hands down the best steak I've ever had -- cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. Unfortunately, the experience took a disappointing turn toward the end. Despite being at our table for just over an hour and 15 minutes, we were told -- not once, but three times -- that our time was up and they needed the table for a reservation. Mind you we still had full glasses of wine, and food still on our plates. We felt rushed and it really soured what had been a wonderful meal. Amazing food, but the pressure to vacate the table made the overall experience feel much less special. Not sure I'd go back unless they rethink how they handle reservations and timing. read more

I will start by saying that this is my steakhouse of choice in Charlotte and always has been. It has been around since 1958 and hasn't changed a bit. This was my grandpa's absolute favorite and he's a native Charlottean. There's the old school steakhouse vibe with just the highest quality food. Service has been top-tier every time I go, and I've had different servers each time. I highly recommend a reservation, which you have to call in for, well in advance if there's a specific time you're looking to go. You'll get a 2 hour table block and you won't feel rushed by any means. My recommendations: the Cajun crab dip is phenomenal and so is the shrimp cocktail (they make in-house cocktail sauce with a kick - lots of horseradish). The surf and turf combo with filet and lobster was delicious, but the prime rib is the best I've had. There is no shortage of flavor, to where you really don't even need au-jus or the horseradish sauce. The blue cheese wedge salad was delectable and such a large serving. All dressings are homemade and so are the bacon bits. You really can't go wrong with anything!! read more

Old school vibes , quirky on the outside delicious inside. Everything was cooked perfectly! First time in my life I actually liked creamed spinach. Service was very friendly ,down to earth ,and personable. There was a really obnoxious table getting loud a dropping F bombs for the whole dining room to hear but that's not the establishment's fault just kind wish someone would told them to act like adults. But we laughed it off and knocked it up to more character for the joint. read more

Beef 'N Bottle is a staple Charlotte steakhouse that did not disappoint! I have been looking forward to trying this spot for a while now so we decided to get reservations the week before Christmas. Beware - reservations open up 14 days in advance so you have to be on the lookout. The interior takes you a step back in time with quaint booths and tables arranged in a cozy room that was well lit for Christmas. They serve complementary sharp spreadable cheese and crackers that was to die for! We had to force ourselves to stop eating it so we could save room for rest of the meal. We both ordered steaks which to my pleasant surprise, all come with a salad and a side or two sides! My husband got the wedge and I got the regular salad. The dressings are all homemade and I highly recommend getting the blue cheese and ranch. By the time our steaks came, we were getting full but that didn't stop us! No sir-ee. I got the filet medallions, each served with a different topping and they were all delicious. The blue cheese topped one was my favorite followed by the rosemary butter. The baked potatoes are huge and I recommend getting yours loaded. The toppings come on the side so you can load it how you want. My husband loved his ribeye and both our steaks were cooked perfectly. I had a martini with blue cheese olives that was fantastic but next time I'll try one of their amazing wine selections. We had the best night and I would recommend this spot to anyone looking for a fun night out or a special occasion. You get a lot of food for the money! Reservation only unless you want to sit at the bar first come first serve. read more

This location was absolutely phenomenal. RESERVATION ONLY - dont think you can just walk in here at 6PM on any night and be seated, youll have to try your luck at the bar. Years ago my boyfriend and I were in Phoenix and found a steakplace just by happenstance that had re-opened from Covid THAT NIGHT we were there and they had openings, so we snagged a table! Ever since 2020, we have been looking for a place like that again and we JUST FOUND IT! Beef 'N Bottle is THE spot! I had called to make a reservation for my boyfriend's birthday and we cant wait to go back. We got to the restaurant before 9 and figured we could chill at the bar while we wait for our table to open. Its a small quaint little place with so much charm! We were seated at the bar and ordered a bottle of wine to start our celebration. Once our table was ready, the hostess came to pick us up and escort us to our table! We were seated and provided menus and ordered the Shrimp Cocktail and the Wedge Salad to start/share. Shrimps were DELICIOUS but DAMN was that cocktail sauce SPIIIIICY! I couldnt eat anymore and left the rest to my boyfriend and focused more on the Wedge! This was my first time having a wedge, so I cant base this off any other previous wedge consumptions, but this was delicious, too! Our waitress was super personable and knowledgeable about the menu as well as the history of the restaurant! This is the oldest steakhouse in Charlotte!? My boyfriend had ordered the prime rib (comes in Queen and King sizes - make sure to clarify which you want, the Queen is HUUGGEE) and I ordered smaller steak medallions. He ordered a loaded baked potato and broccoli as his two sides and I ordered the baked sweet potato (toppings on the side - I prefer mine plain) and brussel sprouts! We honestly ate everything so quick because it was that delicious! So no pics of our actual dinner, but just take my word for it. GENEROUS serving sizes with quality you can literally taste! After our dinner, our waitress had brought out a small chocolate cake slice with a candle for my boyfriend's birthday!! This was such an incredible detail that made ME feel so special because I had only mentioned "birthday" when I called to make the reservation - it's reassuring to know the staff here REALLY listens and doesnt just try to rush you off the phone or get you out the door to turn their tables. This was such an amazing first experience here and have added this to our "must return" list! read more

This is a Charlotte staple for a reason. Give me this over any other steakhouse in town. I want a great steak, with 2 sides and a fresh salad without paying for each thing individually. The service here is some of the best in the city. Ask anyone how long they've been there and you'll see they must be treated well to have the tenure they do. The lowest number I've heard was 18 years! I've never had a bad meal, and I love you can BYO wine with a small corkage fee. The filet medallions are my go to, with creamed spinach and a cheesy potato. They give you a beer cheese and crackers to start, and you can ask for bread which I feel is a best kept secret. Only thing I'd skip here is the dessert, focus on the mains and appetizers. The meatballs and shrimp cocktail are my favorite appetizers. Can't wait for our next experience! read more

After hearing about this for years, I was severely disappointed the Cajun crab dip was plain definitely not Cajun served with cold, but toasted bread.
