BEST prime rib hands down! I actually gasped when they put it down in front of me!! I obviously couldn't eat it all, so I took it home and had a total of 4 meals off of it!!! And it was just as delicious as the first I ate it! Well worth the price. Also, their French onion soup is also excellent. The service is also top notch and despite they are always busy, the staff does not leave you waiting for drink or bread refills. I haven't been to the Indy location as I live in Martinsville, but I like the ambiance of the original location. They have several separate dining rooms which reduces any noise and makes for a cozy dining experience. A must try if you are in the area! read more

Bynum's Steakhouse - Prime rib, fries, Au Ju and French onion soup. - Steakhouses Near Me - Martinsville, Indiana

By far the best restaurant and steakhouse in Martinsville! Great food, great service and amazing environment to have dinner in!

I definitely would never come back. Save your money and go to a chain restaurant. The onion soup caused a family member of mine to vomit, and most of us really didn't like it. The menu is very tiny, and I can get the same stuff at a chain restaurant for the same quality for cheaper. I could tell this is mainly for older people given the menu options, so not very surprised I didnt care for it. Glad My dad was happy with it since it was a father day get-together, but the experience is extremely underwhelming. The servers were very nice and did try to help. read more

We went here for our monthly date night for the first time. The ambiance was very cool and pretty private. Our service was very good. I will say my steak was lacking in my opinion. I got the ribeye and there was not much flavor there. My wife got the prime rib and it was fantastic and possibly the biggest cut of meat I've ever seen. read more

I hope that the people reading this realize that the one star and two star reviews are from reviewers who are chronic complainers and power trip complainers. I hope you come to this restaurant because you're looking for a family oriented atmosphere with high quality food and personalized service. I am saying this as a non biased reviewer but I have been there several times and can't wait to go back. The food is made with love and it's worth every penny. All I'm saying is try it for yourself. Don't believe everything you read. read more

Ripped off...Special 49.95 sirloin steak for 2 comes with 2 soup 2 potatoes 2 salads. Ordered Medium Rare. Came out plate full of bright red blood steak was rare to the point it was cold in the middle and I am sure a health hazard. Waitress took it back and had it warmed. Returned with same steak tuff and over salted. Was not what I expected from Bynums. Manager said she would Comp the Steak and took it away. CHARGED US $34. instead of $49.95. 15.95 off for ruining our meal. On top of this they had an entree of boomboom shrimp that I asked for as an appetizer. No set up. Charged $32.00 boiled shrimp swimming in a dressing stylesause that was better for dipping bread in shrimp was mediocre at best. Have had much better. Way cheaper at a Chinnese buffet. Salad was of bag quality Got a rotten potatoes evident from the outside. But manager stated we dont have x-ray vision so not our fault. Drinks: margaritas tasted like limeaide... waitress followed up with shot of tequila. She said she forgot to put in, good save. Old fashion tasted like they used rubbing alcohol, but I did not complain, I said well was fine. Won't make that mistake again. So only good thing about the dinning experience was the waitress, nice, attentive and apologetic. She did a fine job. Manager blew it. Comp should have been the entire $49.95, or offered a free steak on a return trip. Bill Ended up being over $89 plus tip (not waitresses fault). read more

Went to Bynums for the first time Saturday and had a horrible experience. I knew steaks were expensive there but what they want is crazy. The mushrooms were canned mushrooms that were in a wine sauce. Salad was from a bag. I ordered the steak tips and split it with my girlfriend. So I paid $17 for a plate,soup and salad. The meat was not very flavorful and we agreed Texas Roadhouse tastes better. I have heard nothing but great things about Bynums but we were so disappointed we won't be back. The service was just fine. Our waitress had not been there very long but did a great job. I don't know if we went on a bad night or what but we won't be finding out. read more

My wife literally vomited in the "restaurant" before we left. That begins this review. This place is awful. I have lived in Martinsville for almost 15 years and heard this place is good. Save you money and go to a chain restaurant. At least you will get your moneys worth. The bread is heated up in the microwave with a wet napkin. The Onion soup is a combination of raw onions and low quality powered beef broth. The mushrooms are slimy canned mess not even fried up. The ribeye was cooked well-done instead of medium rare. The salads are bagged salad you can buy at Kroger ( bad stuff at that ). The shrimp are pre-frozen and a low quality one at that. The cocktail sauce is jarred stuff and not the good stuff. The servers were very nice. The embarrassment over the quality was very evident. I left a good tip for the nice lady. Just never again. read more

love this place! always great food and service. Great atmospher. Employees are always friendly and seem to love their job. highly recommended read more

Great service, food was amazing. I couldn't decide if the onion soup with the bread or the cheesecake was better. I wish we lived closer to be regulars. read more

Good service, awesome steak and over all a fun place to go, would recommend to anyone!

Our go to special occasion steakhouse. I've even had my employee Christmas party here. Steaks are big and juicy and cooked to perfection.! we love the ambience and it's cozy atmosphere. Everything is good. The mushrooms are incredible! We always leave stuffed! The only thing I wish, is that it would be open on Sunday evenings as well. We come through there from fishing all day and we would love to stop to have a nice family dinner before we go home. read more

Couldn't even get seated. Had reservations for 7 and get told at 7:30 that it would be 30 min DON'T RECOMMEND

I had the prime rib it was mediocre at best and I was going to give this place 3 stars. But then I tried my wife's pork chop it was the best pork chop I have ever ate and I normally don't eat pork chops normally I don't like them. So I had to balance it out it would of been a five so I went down the middle with a 4. I would definitely go back for the pork chops. It's a reasonable big place. It is clean and our server was amazing thank you Amber. If you don't know were this place is it's hard to see. All in all a enjoyable evening. read more

My wife and I drove 50 miles. I brag to her how great Byrums is. The food was great. However it was extremely cold in the building. Others around us were also cold. I informed my server, than the manager. They both dismissed my concern. One said the air was on to offset previous 74 degree temps. It was 65 outside and even colder inside the building. The manager indicated "the temp is set at 70 degrees and that's what they keep it at." It was NOT an enjoyable dining experience. It's very disappointing spending $165.00 for a meal, and feel like your eating in an ice box. Both the server and manager blew off my concerns. I'm a regular and was hoping this would have been enjoyable for my wife's first time there. Frustrated and most likely won't be back. read more

Bynum's Steakhouse - Steakhouses Near Me - Martinsville, Indiana

My husband and I ate here about a week and a half ago, and we have absolutely zero complaints. It was so good. We like the simplicity of the menu, and the filet mignon we got was so good, it was probably the best steak we've ever had. We did not try any dessert, but the baked potato and salad and everything else was just amazing. I wish I had taken a photo! We were sat in a cozy little room with four booths. The seating was a unique but intimate type of setting. I can't say what the rest of the restaurant looked like as you walk down a hallway to get to the room we were in and not much was visible, but it is a very nice cozy setting. Perfect for a date. We will definitely be back. read more

I have known about this place and driven by it my entire life, and unfortunately my first visit wasn't until last week. Upon entering the establishment I immediately felt welcome and intrigued by the decor. The menu was not overwhelming, yet at the same time offered many options, including swordfish! The taste of the food was tremendous and I felt the price matched the quality. Upon leaving, we expressed our satisfaction of our experience to an employee who was cleaning off a table. The employee happened to be Heidi, a member of the family who owns the establishment. Heidi was thankful for us sharing our experience, and welcomed us back. We will definitely be returning. read more

I was a little confused when turning on the road to Bynum's Steakhouse in Martinsville. The location into the back of an area that you may mistake was all housing units until you see the big, red letters glowing above their building. This was my first experience at this place and I am glad I dropped by. I arrived right as their last hour of being open started. I was quickly seated in a room that was intimate and empty except for myself. But I didn't mind that one bit. My server was a lovely woman, and I wish I remembered her name. I'm writing this review mostly for her. Unfortunately, I have a poor memory and am worse with names. But I hope someone passes the message on to her. I ordered their grilled bread, which I believe has garlic butter on it, and it was crunchy and delicious. I think anyone who liked garlic bread could appreciate it. I was surprised to see that I also received regular bread. I had to take that home with me, but I am munching on it today and it is fantastic. Your order comes with soup, salad, and a baked potato. I ordered the sirloin, which is a 10oz steak. This steak was massive. It was thick. I was not expecting that, and I was pleasantly surprised. I'm used to the thinner steaks of places like Texas Roadhouse. The steak was delicious, though not fully to my taste. This is not to say there is anything wrong with their steak. They're great! They go with the beautiful searing method, and many people love only that. I am one who likes a little more seasoning. But again, this does not mean I did not thoroughly enjoy it. I would order their steaks again, regardless. The beef and onion broth soup was very good. I demolished the potato. The salad - I will let others decide. I am not a house salad fan. I only really like caesar salads. I tried it with poppy dressing since I've never had that dressing, but it was way too sweet for me. Again, this is only a preference thing for me. The salad was a generous portion and I believe those who do like house salads (and the array of dressings this place offers) would find little fault. Now, the whole reason I am writing this review: the server. The woman, and I do not say this as a bad thing, was running her heels off. I admired this greatly, as she could still serve me in a timely manner, or delegate me to another server. This made me feel like a priority. I commend her time management and multi-tasking ability. Even with so much on her plate, she was friendly and patient with me. She answered my questions and never forgot to bring me anything I asked for. I walk with a cane. The leftovers and drink I packaged up proved difficult to carry, and she was gracious enough to help me carry it to my car. I have only two regrets after my service: that I could not afford to tip her more, and that I was too full to try one of the variety of cheesecakes this place carries. Maybe next time? read more

My chicken was great, my friend got prime rib and had A LOT of fat on it. She let the waitress know and all she offered to do was make another steak, said they can't adjust bill. I was embarrassed because I recommended this place to her. Never again! read more

The steak and salad were okay. Honestly the highlight for me was the soup. Also upset you can't vary from the preset choices. But for an old-school vibes steakhouse in a small town, not a bad experience. read more

Best steakhouse outside of downtown Indy! The management and service are top notch. The prime rib runs out occasionally but that's because it is so good. Love everything about this place. The is a classic steakhouse restaurant so don't expect an elaborate menu, but everything they do is 5 star! read more

Drove an hour for a 6:30p reservation (mind you they don't open until 5p). Ordered prime rib which is their speciality and they were OUT. Had I known this, I wouldn't haven driven an hour to this restaurant. read more

This is how a steak house should be. Stepping back to when the food was great and the atmosphere is perfect. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

We've been to Bynum's 4 times now, and the service seems to get worse each time. It's so bad that it's made me come here to write a review. We came here on Monday night to have a nice family Christmas dinner (only 4 people), and the two servers we had waiting on our table were anything but organized. Took them 15 minutes to greet us. It was clear they were teaming the whole dining room, but they both kept coming by asking us the same questions and telling us the same thing the previous server had just said. It took another 20 minutes to get our bottle of wine, after we were DONE with our appetizer. No time did they come by and clear our table before our entrees, so our app plates, soup bowls, salad plates, and bread basket were all pushed to the right of our booth, and our waters were empty. The guy came by a few minutes after looking at our table in passing and slammed a water pitcher on our table saying "sorry we're slammed right now" and ran away without clearing anything. I'm a server so I happily watered everyone's drinks at the table as we laughed about me being "off the clock." My boyfriend ordered his $54 filet medium well because the last time he ordered medium it came out rare, but they didn't warm him that they would butterfly it if cooked MW. It came out well done. At this point we hadn't gotten old service and had been there so long, we didn't want to complain, not that an opportunity was given because they never asked how everything was. My steak and food was stellar, as usual, I added a picture as proof! I wish I had gotten a picture of my boyfriends steak though, because he literally didn't know what it was when they dropped it off on the table. It was a dry, terrible piece of meat, that resembled a crappy Kroger sirloin. The food is always worth it because they wet age their steak, and their onion soup is one of my favorites I've ever had. It literally makes us come back despite how we've been treated in the past. But after this time, I don't think we'll be back! Not the upscale steak dining experience we hoped for, but maybe that's not what they're going for. They prices say otherwise though, they compare to capital grille and Harry and Izzy's prices!! That's probably where we'll be going next time!! read more

Bynum's Steakhouse - 7oz filet with garlic butter, baked potato - Steakhouses Near Me - Martinsville, Indiana

This place was a great find! The food was phenomenal. I ended up eating the entire 24oz steak and most of the potato. Highly recommend the shrimp cocktail appetizer too. Cocktail sauce is spicy. read more

This was our first visit and we were impressed. I was told to get the prime rib but unfortunately by the time we got there which was 7:00, they were out of it already. So if you're interested in getting the prime rib, recommend getting there early. Instead I had a ribeye steak which was one of the best I've had anywhere. My wife had their boom boom shrimp which was pretty spicy but also quite good. They can get busy so you might consider reservations or be ready to wait a bit to get a table. Our server was somewhat harried but worked quite hard and earned her tip that night. read more

Came to Bynum's with a friend. We were seated immediately. The waitress was very nice and did a great job waiting on us. I ordered the small filet mignon, which came with a salad and baked potato. The food was good. I wouldn't say it's the best filet I've ever had, but it was good. read more

We had never eaten at this restaurant before but we tried it for dinner after my son's college graduation. I made reservations a few weeks ahead of time and our table was ready for us even though we arrived about (45) minutes early. We had a party of (10) and everyone loved the food (even the picky ones). The steaks, seafood, and porkchops were great. The steaks and porkchops were tender and seasoned well. We also were served a salad, soup, baked potato, and bread so everyone had enough to eat there. The staff was attentive and friendly to us. We will be going back to eat there in the future. read more

THE LOCATION: Bynum's Steakhouse is quite a gem. This is a sort of place where you have to know someone locally in order to introduce you to it. I came here with some family and friends and it is about 30 minutes outside of Bloomington and they are right off the main road. Their service was friendly and man, do they have good steak. This is a pricier place (as opposed to Outback or Texas Corral) but their steak is much better than any chain. Our party of six were seated at a long spacious booth and the decor was nice and cozy, with deep wooden panels covered in vintage signs and license plates. THE FOOD: Really good. I ordered a 12 oz. sirloin off their special "stimulus" menu (for smaller portions and cheaper prices) which was $14.95 and included a baked potato, beef/onion soup, salad and fresh bread. You will not leave this place hungry. Their meat is high quality and full of flavor. When our server asked whether we'd like A1 sauce or any other condiments for our steaks... six heads looked back with blank stares for a moment, thinking "nothing to taint the sacred simplicity of a juicy steak." They make their bleu cheese dressing in-house which the server will be really proud to tell you about (order it with your salad!) and they have a full bar. Other people at my table ordered the filet mignon and the New York Strip, all of which were raved as delicious. The meat was slightly seasoned and charred just right. Per person, the price ranged from $15-$30 depending on which cut of steak and the oz. of meat and they all come with the soup/salad/baked potato combo. Overall, you can't go wrong going to this family-owned steakhouse. There may not be many reviews for this place, but it is definitely a local favorite. read more

Bynum's Steakhouse - 12 oz. sirloin with sour cream and baked potato. - Steakhouses Near Me - Martinsville, Indiana

I have driven by this restaurant dozens of times, always thinking to myself, "I need to try that place". Lo and behold, I finally ate here. And what a fool I have been for taking so long. The ribeye sandwich special (Tuesdays) is excellent. The inside is a bit dark and cramped like the steakhouses of yore. It's a blast from the past. read more

Very disappointed in my last visit. The food was descent, and the service wasn't bad until I checked my account the next morning and the bill I signed for had been altered and I was charged more. I called the restaurant and they said they would talk to the waitress but didn't seem to concerned and said they would mail me a check for the difference. It's been about 2-3 weeks and I'm still waiting. How many other people have they done this too that didn't catch it. read more

Extremely disappointed. Food was poor quality, salad was thrown in from a bag, food was undercooked, and had one inch of blood on the bottom of the plate from the undercooked meat. Discussed the undercooked meat with the manager who reports that "everyone loves it". Haven't been to this place for along while and can say that management doesn't value feedback and definitely not worth the cost. read more

Good steaks. They are great. I have been coming here since I was a child and it is always enjoyable

For the price point......supply bottled water for guests~there were DOZENS of peices of Black sediment in both Our waters as well as he next table over (I asked out of curiosity when the bus Girl was clearing the table). When I mentioned it...she got really rude said there was nothing wrong it's just the city water. "I don't know what you want me to do about it" like SUPER FAST rude reply. I asked if she'd get our waitress... ...waitress was bus girls mom. She offered us canned soda~which we were not charged for....about the only reason review is 2 stars Get bread~basket is something from an 80s drive in~super old, super cheap. When your cheapest meals are $20 and regular menu is average of $35 an entree~I feel like there should really be nicer things ~ the silverware is the bulk cheap stuff that are used in shitty school cafeterias. Bread is slightly not cold. Only way to spread the butter/butter products is with the steak knife that was wrapped up in the paper napkin (not a rounded end~spiked pointy...thin ended steak knife) Historically wonderful French onion soup arrives~cheese in bottom~still in shredded form....not even really melted :-( spoon is simply a small serving spoon not a soup spoon***i understand I keep called my attention to details~but when EVERYTHING looks and feels like a mom and pop $5 a plate place.... Salad comes....served in institutional facility style bowl~lettuce was cut a day or 2 ago and the red cabbage so large you could use it tortilla style to dip into dressing..."croutons" were simply slightly toasted bread chunks that were chilled (like literally COLD; the chill in them provided more texture than prior toasting) I ordered my steak medium plus (something between medium and medium well). It was slightly over rare. I asked them to cook it a little longer; waitress let me know that they were closing soon~the grill gets shut off soon ****they stop seating at 9:30 this exchange was about 9:31 *****POTATO WAS PERFECT*****waitress drops off check Get steak back ~ it's just drier and hotter not really cooked too much more but I had cut up half of it to small pieces so those parts cooked more. Finished eating quick since I just had meat and half was cut up already. About 9:45 the waitress comes back and says "I've been pretty patient; we close at 9:30 and I have waited but I really need to get going" And if the public water supply has that many issues...supply bottled water....buy a filtering pitcher...install a water treatment system? Ffs...you guys have nicer steakhouse prices~at least have a clean glass of water in a glass not the shit plastic cups you use for all drinks. read more

Bynum's Steakhouse - Steakhouses Near Me - Martinsville, Indiana

My husband and I have been coming to this restaurant for many years now. The service is always awesome and we are addressed with familiarity as though we have been welcomed into a friends home. The savory mushrooms they have been marinated in their special recipe. The shrimp cocktail is Delish with cocktail sauce that will open your sinus!!!! The steak is for the hungry that's for sure !!!! The size of your steak is worth the trip! Salad and soup are included in your meal as well as bread and a baked potato! They also make homemade bleu cheese dressing. This place will always hold a special place in our hearts and bellies! read more

Arrived on a Saturday night, few people were in the waiting area-check in was a bit confusing. When a booth comes available they come to get you. We didn't wait long, they turn over fairly quickly which was great. We ordered ribeye steaks, salads and got cottage cheese instead of the baked potato. Everything was super yummy, the price was not bad especially for such a great meal and excellent service. Highly recommend if you like a great steak! read more

This place is worth the trip. We had a little bit of a wait, but I don't mind waiting for good food and service. To start, the wait staff is awesome. The meal includes their awesome French onion soup, salad, loaf of bread and a great ribeye and filet. The steaks where cooked perfect, medium rare for the ribeye and medium well for the filet. The ribeye was awesome, perfectly cooked and seasoned, melt in your mouth great. I can't say enough about this place but worth the trip. read more

Good food-classic menu. Steak was delicious and tasty. Comes with bread, salad, baked potato, and onion soup.

Bynum's is an old-school local steakhouse. It's dark, the building is cut up into different smaller rooms in a hodgepodge arrangement, and the food is plentiful and good. Steaks are slightly above average pricing (this isn't outback, but it isn't St. Elmo's either) but every meal comes with beef onion soup (I assume they hate French people, because that's what I would call french onion soup basically) and a salad, and the entree with baked potato. The soup is always great. The salad is a bowl with lettuce and an obscene amount of carrots and some dressing. Steaks are well cooked and very very good. Of note, the ground sirloin (yes, I understand that's a hamburger steak) is amazing - huge - and the kid sized portion is basically the same as an adult sized portion. Your kid won't eat it all, so bonus for you! If you are from out of town and willing to make the drive, Bynums is a much better option than your local Roadhouse, Texas Corrall, or Outback. It'll cost you a little bit more but not a lot more and it's worth it! read more

Way overpriced for portion size. Just an average steak. I can do that at home. No sides available. Everyone got a salad and an onion soup. Eh not a fan. For price you should have appetizer option and good sides. I'll stick with outback or little zagrebs read more
