This review once again is LONG OVERDUE!! I apologize to the owner because we had a FABULOUS meal and experience. We were given a gift certificate by our realtor last year and waited for a special occasion since we were told it is pricey. Valentines seemed like the perfect time and it was! Made reservations several weeks before opting for the 13th of February and at 5 pm in hopes of avoiding the crowd. It worked. We arrived and were seated promptly in what they call the Al Capone booth which was for two and tucked towards the back wall which was cozy and private except much later the table across from us which looks out toward the table we were at, 4 people were seated. It wasn't a big deal as they were busy talking with their group. Our waiter was Jason (I hope I'm remembering his name correctly) and he told us he was fairly new. Great waiter, engaging with us, gave us excellent tips on the food choices, how things were cooked especially the steaks, which cuts would be best for us according to our tastes, very attentive our entire meal, didn't rush us through our meal and told us what to expect with the dishes we chose. Now we share our meals and opted for a 16 oz steak which my husband finished his half and I brought 1/2 of my 1/2 home along with much of our side dishes. I guess that means each side comes with a lot of food. We ordered the sweet potatoes,which was incredibly delicious, nice and soft on the inside and a bit crunchy on the outside. They have a caramel flavor bc of caramelized. Oh sooo scrumptious. The asparagus were nice a large and once again the flavor on them were delish!! Our steak came out on a plate by itself bc Jason said the chef likes to show the beauty of it. I agree, simple, but the steak on its own looked grand. It was cooked to perfection, so juicy and packed with flavor. It melted in our mouth. Worth every cent. The mushrooms along with the sauce flavor we chose were a perfect combo with our steak. The steak on its own was amazing but the mushrooms were delicious with the steak. The incredible rolls they serve are to die for. Light, fluffy and down right a perfect accompaniment to our dinner. My husband enjoyed his wine choice with Jason's recommendation. I had Jason take back my Lemon Drop Martini because it wasn't to my taste, just a bit boozier than I enjoy. The second time was much better. The manager Peril came to our table and introduced himself. Told us about the history of his restaurant and was a kind man. We talked with him about being from CA. Also how his restaurant being located in an area you'd never imagine having such a great restaurant would be was awesome. It's in this small strip mall right off Meadow Drive amongst other small shops. Not very grand looking on the outside but very nice and lovely inside. Very intimate feeling in the booths. I did notice they have a small bar area which was packed as well as small tables in the area. The parking lot is not very large with some handicap parking spots. Quite large inside with outdoor seating within a tent covered area with windows. We definitely will visit again, on another special occasion. Everything and everyone was GREAT and ever so tasty. read more

WHAT AN ESTABLISHMENT! Finished my review and forgot to mention our server LAUREN. She was amazing! She gave exquisite service. She provided great recommendations and honored a request I made. SHE added to a wonderful experience. THANK YOU LAUREN, YOU DID A FABULOUS JOB! Now for the review I HATE giving out 5 stars and was looking for a reason or excuse to knock them down to a a 4.9, but found NONE. The night was perfect. We were there to celebrate a birthday. As I included myself in the "Powers" reservation for four people, I insisted on paying for my own meal. PLUS knowing that my chances of eating there again were slim (visiting from San Diego), I wanted to splurge and indulge. :) I had the 8oz filet (cooked medium) with blue cheese crust, accompanied with 2 pan seared scallops. Oh my God! The steak was cooked perfectly. It had a nice sear while remaining perfectly cooked in the middle. I judge a restaurant/steakhouse by how well it cooks it's scallops. HAVEN eaten many, I know they are easy to mess up. Some places either over-cook them, or don't clean them well. However, these may have been the best I ever had. Cooked perfectly and with full flavor. The group raved about the loaded mashed potatoes and dessert. THE MEAL was awesome. understanding that everyone's experience there will be unique to them, "I" highly recommend you visit this place to have your own experience. I hope in the future I get to eat there again. THIS PLACE IS KEN HARMON APPOVED. read more

From the moment we arrived, the evening felt special. The hostesses, Alexis and Courtney greeted us warmly and guided us to a table with excellent sightlines of the dining room -- intimate yet lively, with a tasteful mix of modern elegance and cozy warmth. The lighting struck a perfect balance: flattering without being dim, creating an atmosphere that invited conversation rather than shouting. The menu is thoughtful and focused, the kind of seasonal cooking that clearly values quality ingredients and precise technique. We started with pork belly which arrived perfectly cooked and beautifully plated -- the textures and acidity were in exact harmony. Every course thereafter built on that sense of care. My main -- the ribeye and cauliflower -- was cooked to perfection, flaky and moist with an assertive, balanced sauce that elevated rather than overwhelmed. The companion dish my guest ordered was equally impressive, demonstrating the kitchen's consistency across proteins and preparations. Service was the highlight of the night. Our server, Lauren Lamb, was unfailingly attentive and knowledgeable. They explained menu items and cooking techniques without sounding rehearsed, anticipated our needs and timed each course beautifully so we could savor conversation between plates. She also had tremendous knowledge of the restaurant's wine list and made excellent recommendations to fit our entrees. Small details made a big difference: warm, perfectly salted bread delivered at the right moment; and a dessert presentation that felt celebratory without being ostentatious. The staff's teamwork was evident -- bussing, timing, and clear communication behind the scenes made service feel effortless in the dining room. This isn't just a dinner -- it's a hospitality experience. Prices were appropriate for the level of craft and service provided; I left feeling I had received excellent value for a memorable evening. Whether you're celebrating an occasion or looking for a place that consistently delivers on food, service, and atmosphere, I highly recommend making a reservation. We'll certainly be back for dinner again and to try their brunch service. Great local gem that I would strongly recommend! read more

30th anniversary dinner and we were NOT disappointed! The service was impeccable and the food was par excellence! Amazing restaurant with a a level not found in Cumming.

Meadow Woodfire Grill - Lobster Bucatini House-made Bucatini, Lobster, Truffle Cream Sauce - New American Near Me - Cumming, Georgia

You wouldn't expect a place this polished to be tucked into a strip mall alongside a chiropractor and hair salon, but Meadow Woodfire Grill delivers the upscale steakhouse vibe the moment you walk in. A mix of cozy booths, large tables, walls of wine, and clean decor makes this a great spot for a romantic night out. We haven't sat outside yet, but they've got a sizable patio that looks promising. I haven't had a disappointing meal yet. Starting with the steaks: the ribeye and filet were amazing (and don't worry about taking some home because they reheat very well). They also look very lonely on the plate, so don't skip the sides. The grilled asparagus is a real winner. In all the best ways possible, the burning wood scent emanating from every bite reminded me of times I went camping and cooked over a fire pit grill. They also nailed it with the new pork belly appetizer. It was so flavorful and delicious that I ended up devouring the garnishes with it! If you want some surf instead of turf, the fish options are fabulous as well. I always steal a bite or two from my wife's plate (for Yelp Research purposes, of course). Service is a strong point here too. Kevin, our waiter, was genuinely friendly and funny. He clearly knows the menu inside and out and seems to be making a name for himself on all the reviews. It's well deserved. Honestly, the only downside to this place is that the high prices (notably on their steaks) keep us from visiting more often, so this has been reserved for special nights out. read more

We had my dad's 90th birthday party here. I'm super impressed with this establishment. It is a nice restaurant (perfect for a special, romantic dinner), but they gave us the covered patio so we could have a good time celebrating my dad. The food was outstanding, good portions, and worth the price (our party had steak, pork chops, chicken, several sides, and the Georgia Lettuces salad--all great!) Service was incredible as well--from talking to management to arrange the party to the table service from Chris. All were hospitable and accommodating. Excellent experience all around--highly recommend! read more

Gray is an amazing bartender. He is knowledgeable when it comes to drinks. We usually sit at the bar when we come in. The beef carpaccio is delicious. We have also had the cola short ribs special which were tender, falling off the bone and flavorful. This place is a hidden gem in Cumming. If you don't try it, you are absolutely missing out! No other restaurant in Cumming is up to Meadow's standards! read more

KEVIN was AWESOME!!!!!! We were on our annual Father / Daughter dinner date night! We had never been there and he was super detailed, attentive, and overall a GREAT WAITER!!! We would highly reccommend this restaurant and we will be back! Food was perfect!!!! read more

We have been here a total of 4 times and waited to post a review to make sure it is a consistent good experience. The staff and manager are always so friendly and nice and I will say they do start to remember you if you come often which is nice for we are wanting to find a local food steal place for our date nights and not always drive far and so far this place is filling that need. Everything we have had has been very good and tasty. The wedge salad is a favorite of ours and the Parker house rolls they give you are always light and delightful. My husband loves the roasted carrots side and we always have to have those. We have tried the creamy potato's and they have to be one of the smoothest mashed potatoes ever. We tried the gnocchi and that took was rich, creamy and wonderful, but a little heavy to me if I am having steak. Three times we ordered the porterhouse and two times it was cooked incorrectly but the staff was kind and willing to correct it, but we ate it anyways it had good flavor. Overall this place is solid and we will continue to have date nights here. read more

Not worth the exorbitant prices. There are too many steakhouses in the area that are much better than Meadow. Little Alley. The Oak. To name only a couple. read more

I enjoyed my meal and the service was a bit slow but very friendly and knowledgeable so overall it was a great night with one exception. This steakhouse is extremely overpriced in my opinion. It's a Longhorn quality meal (slightly better maybe) at a Cattle Shed price point. In other words, I would give this restaurant 5 stars if it was appropriately priced, it's a good meal, just not a great meal. If you're looking for a high-end steakhouse, Cattle Shed is a better option. My wife and I had different steaks but came to the same conclusion. read more

Our service experience was great. I felt like the menu pricing was a bit high. And I was really not happy the steak I wanted was not on the menu for the day. That is on the menu, but unavailable. So that left me with a $25 per ounce steak option. So I had to have pork that night which was not what I went to that restaurant for. Looking for a woodfired steak that did not cost $250 for the only Wagyu beef option. There are no photos on my review Because I really wanted a steak. read more

The apps and wine list are exceptional for the area. Service was adequate but not as attentive as most restaurants in this price point. My biggest issue was preparation of the steak. The 32 oz porterhouse, ordered medium, came out overcooked on a cold plate. Why any steak restaurant serves 100$ plus steaks on cold plates defies logic. To be a serious steakhouse contender please learn how to properly plate and prepare a steak to the correct temperature. read more

Meadowbrook Wood Fired Grill is a hidden gem for anyone craving perfectly cooked, smoky, wood-fired flavors. The rustic atmosphere feels warm and inviting, and the service is consistently attentive without being overbearing. Their signature steaks and wood-oven pizzas are standouts, with just the right char and tenderness. Sides like roasted vegetables and truffle fries complement the mains beautifully. Every visit delivers fresh, flavorful food that leaves you eager to return. shaun read more

Based on my experience. I went for the first time for the 16oz ribeye. $68. It had gristle thru it. Not entirely, but enough to keep me and my wife from going back. A ribeye from Publix is better than theirs. To keep is simple, I didn't complain, ate some, took the rest home and tossed it. I think most people don't want to admit spending too much money for a meal. read more

I'm sorry but I really don't know what all these other people that have left bad reviews are on about. This restaurant is phenomenal. This is coming from someone who ate at restaurants recommended by Anthony bourdaine in Paris. Some of the best food I have had. The service is on par and very attentive. Even placed my napkin on my lap for me. Perfect lighting and doesn't feel chaotic. Second time I've come in the last year and always the biggest look forward to. I don't drink but they also have an extensive drink menu and I got a virgin cocktail that was amazing. read more

Popped in from Savannah for a brunch with friends. Paril the host was so nice and gracious. Our server Carrie was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. The food was so good! We had the omelet (delicious), French toast, chorizos and potato's, and "the regular" breakfast. A person in our party was vegetarian and they switched out the meat in the breakfast for potatoes. The Bellinis and espresso martinis were so good. We'll return when we're in this area again! read more

I had the filet, it seemed expensive. Best filet I ever had. Well worth the price! I will definitely come back.

Meadow is solid. Nice vibe, top notch service and tasty grub. Grab a booth in the bar and settle in for a great meal.

Food was delicious and the servers were extremely attentive and friendly. The interior was very clean and comfortably decorated. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a nice place to go out. read more

I was pleasantly surprised to find this high end steakhouse in Cumming! Everything from the oysters, to the pulpo to the main dish was absolutely fantastic. Kevin our server was very attentive and gave excellent recommendations. Definitely would return read more

We heard this restaurant open and we couldn't wait to try a local steakhouse in the area. We had the octopus appetizer which was amazing. I would love to go back and have that again. We had a fillet and my husband had the ribeye kids had burgers, but I don't think that's on the menu anymore. I think this is a very nice intimate place to go when you want a more upscale dining experience. Have a great steak close to home. I don't have to drive to Atlanta. We will be back back to try the gnocchi. I was on a special diet and decided not to get that and instead we got vegetable, but it was all amazing. !!! The owner I super sweet and also owns quanta basta down the road which we frequent all the time because my kids love their homemade pasta. a must try! I do not think this will disappoint ! You will love it Xoxxo Candace read more

The food was delicious, and the service was terrific. My only comment would be that the steaks are really pricey--the small filet was like $95. Bone in ribeye like $150! So don't walk in there and be surprised by the prices. I had the roast chicken, which was impeccable and was more like $30. read more

A true hidden gem, we love coming here and they never disappoint! Everyone there is so incredibly kind and attentive. The food is so fresh, beautifully plated, and delicious! read more

Great food, great ambiance. I was craving oysters this week and stopped in to try this gem with my mother. Everything was wonderful, and I'd like to nod to the quality of service and care in that department. We will be back soon! PS the gnocchi is chef's kiss.‍ read more

Although the food was good, it was twice as expensive as any comparable restaurant in the area. Likewise the service was sweet but clumsy. Unless the prices change, I suspect you should visit this restaurant before it goes out of business. read more

My friends had their wedding there last night and it was amazing . From the wait staff to the hostess's greeting . With a large party, everyone's food was cooked to perfection. Our servers were Sauwn and Lauren. Make sure you request them. They will make your evening is truly rememberable. Thank you all for a great evening. read more

I was there this week for my husband's 80th bday. The food was wonderful. The service was wonderful. Only small complaint is we were seated by the window and the window sill was not clean. It had dirt and and some one's hair strand on it. That kind of grossed me out for that type of establishment. I asked to be seated in a comfortable seat because my husband can't walk far at all, so they seated us at the first booth by the door which was good for him. If I were a couple going there, I would ask for a booth in the back, so you are not looking out at parked cars. Perhaps in the future they can put some stained glass on those windows to add some charm to those parking lot views? Overall it was a great experience. My husband had the East Coast oysters and said they were great. We both had the filet and the mashed potatoes portion is really a 'table' portion size. Carrots tasted like they came right from the garden, and my son in law ordered the fish (sorry can't remember which one) but he said it was great. I also had the Meadow Bird cocktail. Very interesting and enjoyable. Worth the price for a special occasion. read more

This has been on my list for a while. My first experience was excellent. They have a nice ambience, great bar selection, outstanding service, and the food was excellent. I would highly recommend the fillet, it was cooked perfectly and the crust was delicious. read more
