Have eaten here a few times.. food and service was great, but there's one problem... FLIES! Last couple times the flies were all over our table! We asked our server about it and she kinda laughed, said it's been an issue. I would say it's an issue! Flies in the dining room means there's probably flies in the kitchen! Until you guys get a handle on this, we'll be going back to Westmorland... read more

They weren't understaffed - they were just inattentive. No one greeted us when we walked in and finally after 10 minutes we finally flagged someone down to seat us. The host seated us at a table without silverware. Food came before utensils. We asked for medium rare steaks, we got well done. We watched a server resetting tables holding the prong end of every fork. It was just gross. The food was only ok. The soup was too salty. The fries weren't salty enough. It was all pretty disappointing. I don't think we will bother going back. read more

Always a great place to eat lunch or dinner. Wonderful food and fast services. Desserts are the best! read more

Excellent service, huge portions of very taste food, great deals (two huge steak dinners for $33.00 on Thursday nights but they have specials every night). I didn't try their desserts but the huge glass case at the front looked amazing! I will definitely return. Also, very cute interior and lots of IG picture taking spaces, this place was busy! read more

Very good service! Incredible desserts! Very nice to have a great steak restaurant in Imperial.

My gf and I walked in on Saturday afternoon on Mother's Day weekend and asked for a table for two. The hostess said if we didn't have a reservation they wouldn't be able to accommodate us, even though there were several empty tables. If it would have ended there they would be getting one star. However, Esther stepped in and asked us to wait a second while she went to talk to her husband Andrew. About a minute later she comes back and had us promptly seated. I'm glad we stayed because the food was delicious. They had a special with two New York steaks and two sides each for $39. NY is not my favorite cut of steak, but the Chef did a phenomenal job, as it was one of the best steaks I've had in a long time. I paired it with delicious cheesy potatoes and grilled vegetables. My gf had the NY steak, side salad and grilled vegetables. The food was amazing and the dessert was even better. We had the delicious Butter Cake a la mode with berries, fresh out of the oven. For Esther, Andrew and the taste of the food and desert, I'd give them six stars. I highly recommend this place for anyone living in the Valley or even traveling through. read more

Ordered a lunch special and a $1.00 fee was added to my bill for adding a dinner item "baked potato" that was not even given to me then charged $4.00 open food charge. I had no custom item but still charged as if I was. Then waitress just hands me the bill and runs away, couldn't even dispute. read more

The service at this place it's been going downhill , last time I went 30 min before closing and I was told I could not be served anymore. Also I had tried going in for dining and have been turned down because they are full despite having empty tables. I no longer recommend this place. read more

Great service! Great food!! Very professional!! Best Steaks around!! Love The Family atmosphere!! read more

First time eating here...takeout! We had the steak salad and it was fresh plus the steak was tender and tasty! We also had the tri-tip sandwich and fries and it was packed with meat and cheese and dip on the side ...very delicious and filling! I usually don't rate fries, but these were just right in taste and size. We also had the cheeseburger and fries combo and it was probably one of the best burgers in town! Hope to come back here and experience the full service. I totally forgot to take pix of the food but their menu has color pix of their food that match what we ate. Nice surprise restaurant in the valley! read more

Made reservations for mother's day and got there and started to order our food and told them we wanted their special Lobster and the waitress went to check to see if they had any and came back and told us that they didn't have anymore. We told them that's the reason we came here. Got up and left. read more

The food is delicious. My husband and I go every time we are in town. I would recommend the desserts! They're so tasty.

I stopped in for lunch while here in town on business. Since this was my big meal of the day, I ordered the filet mignon. It was awesome. Fresh and very tender. First time I've ever had filet mignon with au jus. That was actually fantastic! Salad was great, atmosphere welcoming. Service is fantastic. I recommend them. read more

This place is absolutely amazing with food and service. Everytime I'm in town I have to eat there

I went there Saturday night or even called and made dinner reservations, but they didn't tell me that there was a party and the music was so loud we couldn't handle it but next time I will ask, I will not be attending the restaurant if there's something going on in that side room Service is great. The problem is each time we order our loaded big potato it's cold. And usually they they have the meat cooked just straight, but not this time either a different cook or something. So I guess I might part. I will ask more questions because I don't want to go through that again. There is a live band. It was overpowered, overpowered both rooms you couldn't talk to each other. read more

Service was quick! Food was delicious! Recommend if you're in the mood for steak If you're going for a special occasion on Valentine's Day then you need to make a reservation read more

Great pricing. Great ambiance. The food is very good and the service is high quality.

I love this place. My wife and I come here often. The food is fantastic, and the servers are very attentive. Plus, you can get a good steak for a reasonable price. It isn't too noisy, and it's great for a quiet dinner with someone special. read more

This place is a joke. We went to celebrate my mom's birthday and the waitress said that we weren't supposed to have a reservation because they have a party of 50 coming and said we had to be done before 5 pm. What the hell we will never go back this place is ghetto with there servers. Bye! I will be going to the town pump. Better service and more professional. read more

Food is amazing and full of flavor. Wish I knew of this place earlier during my time in El Centro

Amazing food and amazing service. Definitely recommend! Been here many times and always a great experience.

If you like a drink with your dinner, don't go here. My filet was not good, even smelled a little funny. I will say the desserts looked amazing but sadly didn't indulge in one. read more

I went there to eat with my wife. They served us our drinks. My ice tea had cilantro on top. Then noticed a few flies encircling the table. As I was going to start to eat my baked potato and steak I noticed a huge hair about 5-6 inches if not bigger. I notified the waiter and requested to see the manager but was told manager was not present. I paid the bill and left . I would not recommend this place to anyone. It's unfortunate everything is of substandard quality including their hygienic procedures. Will not be returning. read more

Maranatha's knows how to make a great steak the way you want it. Dessert is always on point. Servers are very nice. It is a small space, so their are times when there is a wait. However, the food is fresh. read more

Absolutely! The food is genuinely good. They have different specials on different days and they are ALL good. They also have amazing dessert. I usually get dessert to go. read more

Service was good, I went somewhat late. No wine at this steakhouse, which was kind of a bummer. I sure enjoy a bold red with my prime rib. One wall in the dining area was kind of preachy. Lots of crosses & Jesus stuff. Prime rib was decent. Kind of fatty. read more

One of my favorite restaurants. The quality of food is amazing along with the versatile amount of desserts. read more

Maranatha Steakhouse - a plate of food - Steakhouses Near Me - Imperial, California

It was a pleasant surprise. The salad is good and abundant. The prime rib was excellent , juicy and well cooked. The cheese cake that it is prepared by the restaurant is the best I have ever eaten and really fresh. They do not have alcoholic beverages because owners are Christians and it is their very respectable decision. So if you expect to drink alcohol don't go, otherwise it is highly recommended read more

Amazing sirloin steak made with love by the chef. Father's day steak..... With my family and spiritual family friend. read more

This place is awful. The management is rude. The waiter Destiny is so disrespectful and didn't even provide me with the stuff I asked such as napkins and a glass of water all she did was tell me she'd get it for me and never took it over to my table. I don't think people like her should be working there. The place is also filled with flies.... I also found a bug on my food .... Disgusting read more

I love their food. I love their service, courteous, friendly, and helpful. The prices and specials are grand. If you want good food, try them! read more

We decided to try out this place. We waited over 10 minutes to be seated, then another 15 to place our order. I ordered and $5.00 raspberry lemonade that was watered down. Refills are $1.00 which baffles me that you can serve the same drink for a $1 that you just sold to me for $5.00. We didn't get any bread because it was baking in the oven. I ordered a Ribeye with fries and a side salad but they didn't have fries so I settled for a baked potato. How do you not have fries but have potatoes. Oh, that's because they're frozen. Silly boy! Never coming back here again! We finally got the bread but the meal is almost done! read more

Simple, fast and amazing I have had some of the best steaks here than anywhere in the Valley plus the service is fast and my drink is never empty, pricing is rather high but that's to be expected from a nice steak house. My steak is always cooked to perfection and the salad and vegetables are pretty good also, the strawberry lemonade is a real treat with sugar around the rim of the glass. If you have any room left after your meal may I suggest the cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory you can go ahead and thank me later maybe after a long nap. Enjoy! read more

Maranatha Steakhouse - Cheesecake Factory cheesecake with chocolate drizzle $8.99 - Steakhouses Near Me - Imperial, California

Nice local restaurant in a strip mall that you would hardly notice. Maybe ten tables, linen tablecloths and napkins. Very clean. They brought a nice tray of cold veggie slices with some ranch with my drink to gnosh on while waiting for my appetizer. I had the shrimp cocktail, which came with 11 jumbo shrimp and a cocktail sauce that had just the right amount of kick to it. They brought a small loaf of warm bread with the appetizer that was very fresh. Main course was Top Sirloin and Seared Scalllops. The steak was tender, cooked just right, (med rare) with just enough fat left on it to give it great flavor. The scallops were medium sized, (6), served with drawn butter and cooked well. Mixed sautéed vegetables rounded out the meal, with a nice dinner salad beforehand. Overall a good dining experience with good service. I will be back again. read more

Delicious food friendly staff and great deals definitely recommend this place !!!!!!Filet Mignon

This is a very rare review for me since I go out of my way to not support religious institutions, but I was craving meat and decided to give it a go. I ordered the Tuesday lunch special - tri tip with cheesy potatoes, salad, and garlic bread ($9.99!). When it came out, I tried the tri tip without the au jus and was very surprised at how wonderfully it was seasoned. The meat was flavorful and tender and the cheesy potatoes were delicious. The "salad" was romaine lettuce with dressing - nothing to write home about. The small garlic bread was ok, but the tri tip and potatoes definitely took center stage. Afterwards, I ordered a fancy coffee drink at the front counter and it was also delicious. Both servers were kind and efficient. A couple things to note, they do not serve booze, but they do sell fresh juices and smoothies. I will definitely be coming back if I'm ever in El Centro. read more

Nice place, super clean.... But the food...salad was good, side bread was dry. I got the chicken n shrimp lunch. The cheesy potato was ok nothing special. They gave me 2 fried shrimp probably frozen n deep fried. They gave me 2 pieces of chicken. Pretty good sized but super dry. I think they pre-made it and just heat it up in microwave. My daughter got a steak and potato and we asked for her steak medium well n it was over well done super dry too.... Very disappointed read more
