My sister took me to Clearman's today and I had a phenomenal experience. The place is very historic and gives old school but modern dining. It's very dark inside but I like it. I love the ambiance and decor of the water fountain in the main dining room. It's set up with menus already on the table in big font which is good!!! They have really good lunch, drinks, and dinner menus with great prices. I ordered the grilled salmon with salad and baked potatoe, and subbed my onion rings for broccoli. Everything was amazing!!! My food was so good and made fresh. I also like how they put the salad dressings on the table and baked potatoes sides so you can get what you want. They also make a mean homemade sour cream that is scrumptious!!! The presentation for the lobster and baked potato is impressive!! I was definitely intrigued!! FYI: they also give you unlimited salad !! You love chocolate cake? Well this is the place to get it!!! I had the chocolate layer cake and it was greaattttt like Tony the Tiger would say!! It was warm soft and melted in my mouth!! I'm not a dessert girl but like I said I wanted to all I could since it was the weekend...you know, work hard play hard :) For my drinks, yes I said drinks lol...it's Saturday!! I tried the espresso and raspberry lemon drop martini and they were great, not too sweet and you can definitely taste the alcohol. I highly recommend their cocktails and they have so many and they get a lot of new ones so ask your waiter which ones that they do have for that day you go. Also, which is very imperative, the service was outstanding. We had the pleasure of having Alberto and he was beyond perfect. He was very attentive, came back the whole time didn't mess up our order and was very patient and had a really good heart. He recommended great suggestions on the menu. If you come ask for Alberto, he will not disappoint you. It's also a lot of parking in the back of the restaurant and easy to find. I cannot wait to come back to go to the bar to watch a game, and come back to try more food options and cocktails. -Marshay D. read more

This is an established restaurant on Whittier Blvd in Pico Rivera just off the 605 fwy. It's better to access the parking lot off Gregg Rd instead of the "main" entrance on Whittier which is easy to miss. Food is reasonably priced and tastes good. Obviously steaks but chicken and seafood are also ok the menu. We did the Sunday brunch for $49 which included bottomless mimosa, champagne, or fruit juices; a starter salad or parfait and a breakfast entree of your choice. I chose the sirloin steak and eggs. Very good value! Our server was excellent! She kept our drinks full and explained everything on the menu! She also went out of her way to meet all the requests from our large group (including our bill splitting request). Ambience is best described as dark. Not spooky or gothic; just no windows and lighting that requires you to use your phones as flashlights. For good food at a reasonable price with great service - highly recommended ; just bring a light with you. read more

I've become a regular here for multiple reasons: 1) The ambiance can't be beat! Great music, ambient lighting, classic steakhouse vibes that are hard to find these days. 2) The servers! Tiffany always gives quick, friendly, excellent service at the bar and knows how to make a great cocktail. Her knowledge is extensive and varied, and I've never heard her say she doesn't know how to make a drink, no matter what has been presented to her. Even when they're slammed, Tiffany has never been short or rude or grumpy towards me or any other customer that I've seen. 3) The food: classic, huge portions. I always have enough leftovers for a second meal later in the day or the following day. I love this establishment and hope it remains open for many more years! read more

I came here a couple of weeks ago and I love the place the food here is so good and it's good quality and quantity my service Alberto is amazing. He served me last time and this time he served me again with my family he was so attentive, personable and make great suggestions. I ordered the lunch petite plate with lobster and a salad and a baked potato and salad also and I have my favorite chocolate martini which I adored and this time I tried the raspberry martini that was good also. The place has a old-school vibe atmosphere with new school plenty of parking in the back parking lot. I will definitely be a recurring customer. I love this place. read more

Came back to Clearman's Steak 'N Stein after a while. I remember it being a little better last time, but still a solid experience. Food was OK - had the steak plate with a baked potato and onion rings. Portions are HUGE, which is always a plus here. Service was great, really attentive. Would still come back. read more

Clearman's Steak 'N Stein - Filet mignon - Steakhouses Near Me - Pico Rivera, California

My wife's family has been visiting Clearman's for decades, and I was fortunate enough to be included these past few years and have enjoyed both anniversaries and birthdays at Steak 'N Stein. And tonight was no different, we were seated within ten minutes of our arrival; however, we initially were seated in the back room near the kitchen which was quite busy and loud, so we asked to be moved to the main dining room and were accommodated as much. The salad, and their impressive cheese toast arrived with table serving dressings, which were followed by the main meal; charred Rib-Eye cooked to medium rare, which did not disappoint. So drive to Whittier and spend a special occasion or dinner date, and while you're in the area visit Pio Pico Adobe State Park (last governor of California under Mexican rule), a restored adobe mansion beautiful gardens, and a dove cote. read more

Got together with some friends and and started off in the bar. The bar area is a bit tight and narrow, but there are plenty of seats. Made our way to the dining room near the old fire pit in the center of the floor. Most of us ordered the prefix filet meal. One defector ordered the salmon. The filet was a generous 10oz cut and this comes with their cheese bread, onion rings, baked potato, salad, and dessert (choice of key lime pie or the chocolate mousse cake). I ordered my rare and it came out perfect between rare and medium rare. The salad was delicious and u get three choices of dressing (blue cheese, thousand island and Russian). The baked potato was huge, took half home along with half my steak. The key lime pie pie was ok, (I prefer watergrill's key lime pie) I did try the chocolate mousse cake and should have chosen that one. The onion rings were lightly battered and tasty. Service moved a bit slow, as the place was pretty busy for a Wednesday night. One minor disappointment that we had was bringing in three bottles of wine and told the corkage fee was $15.95 per bottle. We received the bill and our server charged us $19.95 a bottle. She said she made a mistake. Hmmm. Other than that, everything was good. read more

Steak n Stein never disappoints. The service is consistently phenomenal. Candace always goes above and beyond to make every visit special. She has great suggestions, incredibly friendly, and is always happy to answer any questions. She makes the experience better. The food is amazing. The salads are always fresh, and dressings are delicious. My personality favorite is mixing a little French dressing with their blue cheese. Their baked potatoes are an absolute must! They're huge and perfectly cooked, especially loaded up with butter, cheese, sour cream and chives. Don't skip the onion rings! They are always cooked to perfection and another favorite of mine. You truly can't go wrong here. A huge Thank you to Candace and Matt, for always taking good care of us. There is plenty of parking in the back. The restaurant itself is beautiful. We'll definitely come back! read more

Clearman's Steak 'N Stein - Steakhouses Near Me - Pico Rivera, California

My friends and I came here for lunch. We ordered from their Dine LA menu. I had the corn soup as starter. For the main entree, I had petit filet mignon with baked potato. For dessert, I had the key lime pie tart. Cheese breads come with the meal. It was delicious. They are very generous with the bread. They would refill the bread basket as often as you'd like. The baked potato is huge. It is served with butter, sour cream, chives and cheese sauce on the side. You can add as much as you like to suit your taste. The petit filet mignon is small, only 5-oz, but it was very tasty. I asked for medium and it was cooked just right. The key lime pie tart and the chocolate mousse cake were both good. I had a taste of both. Service was excellent. Staff were friendly and efficient. The interior of the restaurant is dimly lit. It is rather dark inside. It gives an old fashion 50's vibe. It would be a good place for a romantic evening. Overall, I enjoyed dining here. Everything I had was delicious. read more

First impressions- lots of ambience, but definitely a place that locals know and frequent. Darker dining and bar areas, with lighting that adds to the experience. Service is with waitstaff all with ties and suits, friendly and knowledgeable about their menu options. The food is very old school-flavorful and plentiful. If you are watching diet, portions or other restrictions, give it up. Fantastic way to enjoy a meal read more

Always great service and food at Steak n Stein. Took advantage of DINE LA today. Jolene and Ethan were spot on. Thanks for the attention to detail. read more

Lots of nostalgia here. Low flickering lights and dark wood panels. The atmosphere is very much that of an old school streak joint. My medium rare ribeye was cooked a touch too long; otherwise this would be 5 stars. Waitstaff are really helpful and friendly. Drinks are good at the bar. All the traditional sides are offered. Price is reasonable for 2026 inflation read more

Clearman's Steak 'N Stein - Fountain man dining room - Steakhouses Near Me - Pico Rivera, California

The place is nice and dark but enough light to see. The service is usually great but there were some mistakes, like the waitress dropping the potato. The steaks are usually great but there was inconsistency with all of them this night, and when your bill is about $500 for 2 adults and 4 kids you expect better. Highlight was the purple cabbage and the calamari. The biggest letdown was the server didn't stay true to the service, she didn't make the baked potato, she just said butter first sour cream and chives and that's not what I wanted for my kids their first visit. Anyhow might give it another shot but the kids didn't like it so maybe just the wife and I. The old fashions drink I had came out good the first time and horrible the next. read more

Came in tonight for a date night dinner with my bf and omggggg the food was AMAZINGGG!!! This was our first time here and we might just become regulars (hehehe). The caesar salad was good & fresh, the garlic bread was amazing, the rib eye & shrimp, the full rack of ribs & coconut shrimp were to die for!! (We came in HUNGRY & had like 60% of our food left to take home- yay leftovers !!) Anyway, Jolene our server was busy serving quite a few tables but her service did not disappoint. She was sweet, awesome & attentive. Their manager Candice even stopped by to check on us and make sure we were okay and happy! She was awesome as well! Was really helpful when it came to our questions about the menu and cocktails (since we had never been there before!) the espresso martini was fantastic!! thank you both!! We'll be back soon!!

Never felt so full in my life! Definitely in my top favorite comfort meals. They had this delicious homemade blue cheese dressing (I hate blue cheese) The cheese bread is to die for. I can eat a whole plate of the flaky crab cakes. The baked potato is huge. The steak was a little overcooked but still delicious and don't get me started on the lobster. So flavorful! Ambiance is very romantic and perfect for date night. The service was amazing and attentive. Tysm! I will come back again. read more

Saturday dinner plans brought my brother and I to Clearman's Steak N Stein. We grew up going to the La Mirada location which shared a similar ambiance.

First time at this location - I normally go to the San Gabriel location. I was pleasantly surprised to see such an ample waiting area and a very pretty, lit-up water fountain in the middle of the restaurant. Their parking lot is pretty big - it was a busy Friday night and had no trouble finding parking. We ordered the bone-in ribeye steak - it was super juicy and perfectly seasoned! If you've been to the San Gabriel location this location is different in that there's no shelled peanuts (they serve them pre-shelled) and you have to ask for them - they don't automatically give them to you. Also, they only serve one portion of salad on a plate - unlike the SG location where they serve the salad family style in a huge salad bowl. Our server was Matt, and he was extremely attentive and polite. I can't say the same thing about the young lady host at the front- she wasn't very helpful or friendly of accommodating - for that I had to knock down one star. I feel like steakhouses are one of those places where you expect to get at least polite, if not excellent service. The service from the hostess was sub-par. read more

I grew up in Pico and this was my first experience at Clearmans. I really enjoyed it and will definitely be back. I went with my family for my birthday and ordered the steak and lobster. The cheesy bread they bring out is very good. The salad could have a little more like cherry tomatoes or cucumbers it was basically just lettuce and croutons. I like that they bring different salad dressings to the table. The steak and lobster were cooked perfectly and the onion rings were light. The place looks old school. It's like you stepped back into the 60s. The waiter was on point and very friendly. read more

We've been eating at Steak N Stein for years! The food is great and in the past years the service has been good. My son celebrated his birthday last night and Matt had the nerve to ask why his tip wasn't $150 dollars! We were shocked at that statement he gave. How rude and unprofessional is that? In general his service from him was bare minimum at that. That has NEVER happened in the past! We brought this situation to management's attention because that did not sit right. Wendy was very understanding and assured me that is not a practice that this company stands for. I really appreciated she called me right away the next day and assured me it wouldn't happen again. Thank you Wendy, we will go back to the restaurant because we do love it here and we do love the food. I appreciate the apology and will continue to eat here, this is what my family and I values, the acceptance of the accountability from the restaurant just assured us we are valued here. read more

Stopped by on Sunday for brunch with my fiancé. We noticed that the menus changed, no dessert and a little more expensive. Gave it a 2 star review because the food was good. Dropped the stars because: No dessert, higher prices and I paid for the brunch which includes mimosas. My glass was empty. Only came by to fill it twice. They used walk around with a bottle and fill you up. Not anymore!! Will come back but not as often anymore. read more

So this is my daughters favorite place. Since we were celebrating her, the family took her to dinner. We all had some kind of steak. The baby had chicken and fries. As usual everything was delicious.

I always have an excellent experience at Steak n Stein. The food is outstanding, perfectly cooked, and full of flavor. What really made the evening memorable was the exceptional service.

Went there for lunch and had the Wedge Salad with Blue cheese dressing and cut-up petite filet mignon. It was delicious, and it did not make my blood sugar spike. I also had a bite of the cheesebread and some chocolate cake. Also delicious. read more

While the ambiance and service was good, the food was lacking. The only side they have is a baked potato. Thats it. The fixings for the potato were good. The beet salad was awful. The salad was ok. They only put croutons on top, nothing else. On the bottom of the menu it states that if you order a steak cooked more than medium it'll probably turn out dry. Im paying $60 for a filet, it should turn out just right. Ive had very juicy filets that were cooked well done. They cut the steak in half to speed up the cooking time and of course it was very dry. The coconut shrimp and calamari were mediocre at best. Will not be returning! read more

Service was good but the food was not. The steak was completely mediocre for the cost. It was comparable to a steak from a casual dining chain restaurant but much more expensive. The calamari was inedible. The manager took it off our bill but it was really disappointing. read more

I have been coming to Clearman's for the last few years. My husband started bringing me here for our wedding anniversary, and it never disappoints. Service is always amazing, I can tell staff has been properly trained and know how to treat their guests. The cuts offered have always been cooked to the doneness requested. I also enjoy the tableside service when the food comes out. I enjoy their salad and cabbage, its sooo good. Dressings are all made in house and the pickled cabbage is perfectly sweet and tangy, love it. I have tried different items, filets, ground steaks, prime rib, coconut shrimp, steak salad, sirloin, prime rib, etc. We like Clearman's so we frequent it throughout the year. Pro-tip make your reservation on their website. When you visit make sure to take a sweater or light jacket as it can get super cold at times. You can also request to be seated by the fireplace for optimal warmth. Its dim inside to add to the romance factor or just for a special dinner. During the holidays they do put up decorations. Friday nights they have live music in their new bar area. Love it here. Attire can be casual or you can dress up. BEST LOCAL STEAKHOUSE read more

Food was atrociously bad. The salad looked like something out of an elementary school cafeteria. Entrees were not any better. Steak was tough and had no seasoning. The sides have the same story, as the onion rings and calamari were not cooked properly. The lack of dress code was also a disturbing sight. Truly a pitiful excuse of a "fine dining" restaurant. Would not recommend. read more

Ordered chicken and waffles for brunch, was told it comes with breast and wing. Got my plate, it was a small thigh and leg while my sister got breast & wing. I asked the waitress to ask the Chef if possible to swap my chicken pieces for a breast and Chef refused. I sent back the whole plate and asked for the chilaquiles with steak. Got my plate and it was just chilaquiles with the tiniest piece of steak (compared to the normal piece of steak size the other 2 chilaquiles plates my parents got) so I think the chef thought he was being funny by skimping on the protein again. Not a good experience based on that. How hard was it to just fry a chicken breast? read more

I came in for my birthday. I didn't have a chance to snap photos of the food because the venue is SUPER dark. It was a very romantic vibe. I ordered the steak and scallops.

I ordered one of each of their old fashioned cocktails. The favorite was definitely the luxardo old fashioned. Loved the place. Will be back. read more

I love this place. I've been coming for many many decades. The service is always great although tonight we had a reservation for 4 o'clock and they wanted us to wait and wait to be seated. I finally said something and they seated us. I shouldn't have to ask again and again to get seated. Really the only other complaint is that it's just too dark. I couldn't see if my steak was cooked properly and I couldn't see how much salt was coming out of the salt shaker for the baked potato. I guess it's a personal preference. I just like to be able to see my food. otherwise there aren't many places like this around anymore. read more
