(I had no clue what was coming for me but grateful when salmon was served! The hamachi crùdo (appetizer) could have used a sprinkle of salt but otherwise hamachi is delicious and melt in your mouth. Short-ribs was cooked to perfection, fall off the bone and so flavorful. I ordered the chef's whim and it was the salmon on a bed of rice & veggies! Rice was perfectly cooked and seasoned and the veggies was not mushy or overcooked! Food came out hot and The plates were warm to the touch. Service: There was only one hostess/waitress but she did a great job handling the whole room. She was able to sit us at 5 instead of our 5:30 reservations which was nice. She communicated the menu well and answered our questions. She also informed us that there might be a delay in our food because of the orders ahead of us! The young man that was bussing our table was attentive, took away our dirty dishes immediately and refilled our water quite often. Utensils were removed after appetizer and had to ask for a new set. Ambience: This is a smaller restaurant in a strip mall in Tempe. Very unassuming from the outside and inside isn't fancy like some places but definitely worth the small business/ family owned yummy local business! Overall I recommend this place! It's not big but made big by their food flavors and great customer service! I hope you consider trying this place out! Make a reservation to ensure you get a table!

We usually frequent Steak 44 when celebrating our birthdays (our entire family has September birthdays!), and it has become a tradition we look forward to year after year. From the moment you walk in, the experience is nothing short of exceptional. The service is impeccable, as you would expect from a high-end steakhouse, but it's the attention to detail that truly sets this place apart. Every entrée is cooked to perfection, and the flavors of the food and sides are on a whole different level. Simply put, every bite is a celebration! One of my favorite features is the beautiful glass-enclosed booths overlooking the kitchen, which add a unique and exciting touch to an already spectacular dining experience. And just when you think the evening couldn't get any better, Steak 44 follows up the next day to make sure your experience exceeded expectations. Now that's what I call going above and beyond! If you're looking for an unforgettable dining experience, whether for a special occasion or simply because you deserve to be spoiled, Steak 44 is a must. Be sure to book your reservation in advance through OpenTable, as this popular spot stays busy!

I've lived in Arizona for three years, and I've never experienced anything quite like what happened…read moretonight at Steak 44. My friend and I arrived dressed nicely, only to be stopped and told that her outfit violated the restaurant's dress code because it was considered "athletic wear." She was wearing a tasteful white two-piece pants set, nothing revealing or inappropriate. The gentleman who approached us, whom I assume was a manager, initially refused to let us dine. Rather than argue, she showed him why it wasn't and then we politely thanked him and walked away. As we left, my friend immediately expressed how uncomfortable and singled out the interaction made her feel. Approximately two minutes later, the same gentleman came outside and told us he would make an exception "this time" because we seemed like nice people. That statement only made the situation more insulting. If the dress code was truly the issue, what suddenly changed? And why did whether we seemed like "nice people" determine if we were welcome? Under normal circumstances, we would have taken our business elsewhere. However, my friend had driven an hour specifically to enjoy one of her favorite restaurants, and it was already 9:30 p.m. What should have been an enjoyable evening turned into an uncomfortable experience that affected the entire night between her and I and ultimately caused it to end early. I won't speculate about the reasoning behind our treatment, but I will say that what we experienced, especially compared with other guests we observed, left us questioning whether the "dress code" was being truly the reason we were disrespected. I've always heard great things about Steak 44, and I appreciate the restaurant's reputation for excellent food and service. Unfortunately, my very first visit left me feeling disappointed, disrespected, and unwelcome. Fine dining should come with high standards, but those standards should be applied consistently and respectfully to every guest. No one should be made to feel that they have to earn the right to be treated with dignity.

Our family visited this location on Friday, July 24, just before 6:00 PM. They offer a Happy Hour…read morefrom 4:00-6:00 PM with select appetizers and drinks, available on a first-come, first-served basis in the bar seating area (not the main dining room). For our meal, we ordered the Prime Rib Sandwich with fries, Keg Burger with fries, the Lobster Roll with fries from the summer menu, and the Prime Rib Dinner. We also learned that there is a larger cut of prime rib available that isn't listed on the menu. It can be ordered with one side, or you can add an additional side for an extra charge. One thing that caught us off guard was that the lobster roll was served with a salad. With the recent produce recalls, we were a little hesitant. In the future, we'll likely request a different side instead. Unfortunately, the Lobster Roll was the biggest disappointment of the evening. While the flavor was good, the portion size was much smaller than it appears on the menu. It was more like a sampler-sized sandwich than a full entrée, and for that reason, we probably wouldn't order it again. We hope the restaurant considers increasing the portion size to better match guests' expectations. The Prime Rib Dinner is usually one of our favorites, but this visit it arrived only warm, while the rest of our food was served hot. It wasn't a major issue, but we would have preferred the prime rib to be served at the same temperature as the rest of the meal. On a positive note, our server was excellent. He took our entire order without writing anything down and was attentive throughout our visit. The only minor issue was that one of our Happy Hour items did not ring up correctly on the bill. It was quickly corrected without any problems, but it's always a good reminder to review your receipt before paying, as simple mistakes can happen anywhere. Overall, we continue to enjoy dining at this location. The service is consistently outstanding, and we appreciate the quality of the food. Our only suggestions would be to increase the size of the lobster roll and ensure that all entrées--especially the signature prime rib--are served hot. Despite those minor issues, we had a great family dinner and look forward to visiting again.

This place has been there since before any of the industrial stuff went up. That's why it is kind of the oddball out in this area! It is extremely large inside the decorations in there are very fitting for a steakhouse! Fun fact John Wayne used to eat there. They have his booth with his pictures up, so that's a pretty cool fact to know! The staff was absolutely amazing so informative. The waiter was probably one of the best I've ever had. He suggested different items on the menu, He told us about the restaurant, and was so helpful and so friendly all the employees were great! Timely on refilling your water and taking the food plates that were empty. It was nice how quickly they took care of everything. They had some amazing jalapeño corn cornbread the 8 ounce sirloin with the Parmesan potatoes and the 8 ounce fillet with Parmesan potatoes were divine! My husband got the house salad that he liked, I got their soup of the day, which was the hatch green chili and chicken soup, which was so hearty and delicious full of flavor.

Some people were casual and some more dressed up. We were seated at the front by the stage where live music was about to start. I thought this would be nice since I do enjoy live music. Well the speakers were facing right at our table and it was noticeably loud when the entertainer began to play. We asked for another table. We could not hear ourselves talking. I ordered a cocktail, The Giddy Up Espresso Martini. That was very delicious! They do have a full bar, it's nice to have choices as far as alcoholic beverages. Our food, Fish & Chips, BBQ Nachos, Aged Manchego, Crusty Bread Garlic Oil & Balsamic, and Molinari Sopressata. Everything was absolutely delicious! The fries with the Fish were perfect. My favorite besides the Martini. was the Crusty Bread with Olive Oil and Balsamic. Our server was the best! Amiriya made sure our drinks stayed filled and asked us what we thought about the food.

I can't wait to try some other dishes and have another Espresso Martini. I probably would pay for a shot of Bailey's added to the drink.

Like genuinely one of those meals where every single bite makes you pause for a second because it tastes that incredible. I got the chicken orzo along with the lime icebox cake for dessert, and both were absolutely amazingggg. The chicken orzo was phenomenal. The lemon flavor throughout the orzo was bright, fresh, and flavorful without being overpowering, and the tomatoes were the PERFECT addition because they balanced everything so well and added a little sweetness and freshness to the dish. But the chicken... wow. The chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside while still being super juicy and tender inside, which is honestly hard to do. Every component of the dish worked together perfectly. Magnificent is genuinely the best word for it. And the lime icebox cake was the perfect ending to the meal, refreshing, creamy, flavorful, and not too heavy after dinner. Honestly, I'm sitting here craving the food again just looking back at the pictures I took. This is definitely one of those restaurants that sticks in your mind long after you leave.

The restaurant itself is very cute and clearly designed for photos, which matches what I saw on their Instagram. Service overall was fantastic. The food, however, was just okay.

I received five very small slices of apple, and when the plate was set down the waitress said she'd get more if needed. I later noticed I was charged $2 for an additional five slices, which together didn't even amount to half an apple. Ironically, the bread that comes with the dish would have been far more substantial. The burrata was fine, but nothing memorable. My friend ordered the chicken and brussels sprouts and didn't even finish it before having the plate taken away. The flourless almond cake was the star, a bit salty on its own, but with the ice cream and whipped cream it was a delightful combo which were the highlight.
